Killers are overpowered.

I doubt in the 4 months I've been gone killer overall has become op, you know Nurse and Blight are about 3% of the killer roster?

Everytime I play Billy I get bomb rushed in 4 minutes and people just pre-drop everything. If you don't play like a tryhard with the strongest loadout I have virtually no chance against them. Survivors are far from being weak. The most important thing is gen efficiency which has drastically increased since the meta shakeup last year. Not to mention their builds. 2 BNPs are normality and all htey run are the same predictable perks. Most likely DH, Resilience, Prove Thyself, Adrenaline and so on. For many other killers my games are chill but as Billy I need to tryhard so that I won't get completely obliterated. So no, survivor is not too weak and I know this because I escape a fair amount of times. And if I'm in a 4-man we escape most games with ease.

I'm aware of that. But still. Even if I perform incredibly wee, even if my chases are short as hell I still get almost completely obliterated. Maybe that's because I play nice or because PGTW is my only gen regression perk. But it feels just absurd on how fast survivors are on gens these days. All I want are chases but survivors are way too busy stealthing and rushing gens. And it gets incredibly boring. I wish the devs will make changes towards a chace centric meta and not a genspeed centric meta. The current meta tryhards are sucking the fun out of this game.

Well, yeah.

If any player brings a wacky fun build, they are probably gonna get tunneled/gen rushed and have a bad time.

That's basically just how the game works at this point, unfortunately.

I mean, it's BHVR's intention to make the game killer sided, they have already said so in the past.

Add to that actually good killer players, or just average/bad killers abusing strats that can't be dealt with efficiently in most Solo Q lobbies (Solo Q being the biggest comunity chunk of the game) and you've got yourself a pretty killer sided game.

Seeing that (already boosted by SWF's) 39% escape rate months ago also hit like a truck.

I truly think most games are decided in the first few minutes of the match. Did the survivors all split up on gens so there’s 3 on gens and 1 in chase? Probably going to be a 3 out minimum. Is it a camping bubba with deadlock? Nurse/blight/spirit/artist etc? Start looking for hatch when the game starts etc lol. Is it a skull merchant who burns the game offering so they can easily stall the game on both floors? Move on to next game and so on. Either side can feel wildly op depending on the situation. Solo queue generally feels doomed tho.

There's been a couple. One was one Ghostface a couple days ago. RPD but the Survivors were fairly acceptable.

Mot recent was Wesker on Dead Dawg. Was using the meme add-on, they brought me there. Tried to do the funny Head On + SG UB and Exponential but they kinda got killed.

i agree. we should give survivors weapons and make the killer the one that has to die. that will show him!

Matches tend to go to whoever is most efficient or ruthless. Killers who effectively tunnel out a survivor early will probably win. Survivors who let someone go to second stage to finish that gen they are pressuring will probably win. It's all about who can be the most effecient at their primary objective.

I love how my point is that 'fun games aren't necessarily winning games' and you hyper fixate on the one obviously hyperbolic statement in the mix.

Kinda illustrates my point perfectly when I sarcastically say '4k at 5 gens is all some killers care about' and your response is 'HOW? How can I attain this power?!?'.

This. What was the last survivor perk to be nerfed, COH? And it was still showing up in every game. Probably DS makes the list but 3 sec stun is still very strong against tunnelling. Not to mention buffed base kit BT was added which means all us survivors who ran BT now have a freed up perk slot.

Killer perks are nerfed on the regular. NOED was broken and needed a rework instead of being nerfed into oblivion. Sadly hex perks are all dead now except maybe play thing.

While I feel the pain of solo q, the problem is killer players have been leaving. This means us lower MMR solo survivors are being matched against higher MMR killers. They play to win & steam roll low MMR teams.

What did killers get in the way of buffs? Gen slowdown is a thread bare concept now in exchange so is self healing for survivors which is the way the game was always supposed to be.

sad but true. Nobody want proximity chat in this game so i don't know what more could realistically be done for solo q players

ah understandable

Yeah u sound super busy so u just gotta deal with solo q unfortunately.

I’ve mentioned this (or tried to articulate it with little success) in previous posts/comments. I often feel that because the casual and beginner level is so much more brutal for survivors that when they start the game, most of their experience is being annihilated and things like camping and tunnelling really exacerbate this. When new players start the game, not yet always understanding or knowing all the nuances and concepts of bm-ing (unnecessary slug, hits on hook, pretending to give exit/hatch only to kill etc etc) or can do a number of ways: Stop playing due to difficulty lack of progression, continue playing and gradually come to terms with this and find a balance, or, get better but hold deep grudges against killers in general (ye olde cycles of hate and toxicity).

cue, many killers who will say “well those killers only do that in response to all the teabags and they’re experience from survivors!” And of course that is both understandable and not incorrect as such, but the reality is that at a base level of entry, it is beginner survivors in solo who indisputably suffer the most devestation. My theory is that this will make these survivors join forces in swfs who may already have gone through the ‘great filter’ mentioned earlier, or get better but seek retribution after initially being powerless.

This is why for me, I believe making the entry level game more equal and intuitive, less susceptibile to mechanics-enabled things like tunnelling and camping (easier said than done but that’s another topic and of course not one with an easy solution) leading to utter devestation and desolation, woxh in turn would create less of filter/cycle leading to so much us v them situations.
