Has anyone else felt that they have been losing more matches -as survivor- after the latest update?

I have noticed a significant drop in escapes recently. I don't know if I was relying too much on perks like dead hard or if I've been put up against higher-level killers. I'm also pretty stubborn and keep using dead hard, but in most of my matches, I can't seem to pull it off more than once. I've noticed more of my solo queue teammates DC'ing or killing themselves on hook. I am pretty frank with myself if I know I'm playing like trash, but it feels like something changed. I myself have felt the frustration and ended up killing myself, which has only been happening recently. Also, killers I've faced have been playing differently; they camp and tunnel more than before (at least in my experience). I don't know if I'm alone on this one but I will be transitioning to killer or at least playing it more because it's much easier for me to get a 4k than escape as survivor.

    Not really. Our escape rate actually went up a good bit.

    Killer is no different for me.

    I’ve had more luck as survivor for some reason. ?? No idea why. I had a string of crap luck before the patch.

    Solo queue has been genuinely unplayable for the most part. You can't really win if you have teammates who go multiple minutes without touching gens and only loot chests. Escape rate is mostly the same in the usual 4 man.

    No. Every single time there's a patch there's just a flood of mindless people droning about in the forums claiming OMGG I HAD BLIGHT 3 GAMES AND ONE TIME HE TUNNNELED ME OMGGG THE SKY IS FALLING


    Then you realize it's just how random games work and you win a few and lose a few. On average, a survivor playing normally is going to escape roughly 40% of the time. Maybe a little less.

    I'd say it feels more inconsistent really.

    Western Europe, low mmr-ish swf (duo, sometimes trio) player speaking !

    I've played about 12h post patch and most of them have been great. My escape rate feels a little higher, games feel winnable, and most of the killers I've been matched with have been really fair and good-spirited. I've had multiple funny and cute endgame chat in win and in loss this week.

    So it's not my experience here =)

    Solo continues to get worse. Far, far too many games when I'm the best player on the team by virtue of being the only one to touch a gen.

    100% lose so many matches, killers are to strong. Hell, I've been watching competitive on a few streams, competitive survivor teams struggle against a good killer. By struggle I mean lose 3 members generally. This is pretty evident of how overpowered they are with all of the tools they have. I don't mind dying if the match is fun. Not getting camped not getting tunneled. Not getting hit when a tile separates me and the killer. Not watching the survivor slow vault all the GD time, or getting hit because the GD vault over pallet has me doing some weird stuttering tard out during pallet vault. Can't heal survivor slugged at pallet. Can't drop pallet sometimes, weird crap happens from time to time in frequent enough instances that it is supremely annoying to the point if the game does some dumbshit I just kill myself on hook and go next because the game was just effed in 30 seconds due to BS. There is so much that is plane ridiculous playing survivor that makes it not fun. Omgoid balance game so skermz can't run killers around for an hour!!!!!!!!!! I swear that's the mentality.

    But BHVR doesn't care about the general players? I feel like if you play well as a survivor it shouldn't be inherent a killer WILL eventually hook you. Very rare circumstances will allow you to abuse struggle to avoid hooking, but they will down you.

    I usually try to keep my MMR stays, without Coh and DH my games are definitely easier. Hearing people complain about Solo, Im not even dare to play a survivor match.
