Why is the community still whining

With many things in this game on paper, stuff looks really impactful, but in practice a lot of it isn't impactful much at all.

Increased break speeds would be impactful, but there is also twice as many things to break now and a lot of it is not negotiable.

Gen speeds seem fair at base, but currently most games aren't being played at the prescribed average pace. It's being played much faster due to an abundance of gen repair speed perks and toolboxes that have been left unchanged for around 7 years for the most part. While gen regression across the board much worse and more situational. This is something that is directly effected by your MMR as the way games are played varies wildly from high to low.

SoloQ is the king of "Your mileage may vary" as the most common reports are generally really lackluster experiences. Having the hud update did make a tangible difference, but the hud can't really make players better to play with. Information used poorly is about the same having no information at all.

The changes to perk meta have shifted the game into a somewhat better position in overall balance, but it has also shifted the way people play into much more competitive and chase oriented gameplay that not everyone likes and technically a lot of killer designs can't keep up with as they aren't built for it powerwise and there is no itemization or perk builds that fill the gap enough to help the killers who are really struggling. In all honestly, the meta just shifted back to older exhaustion perks and gen repair so funnily enough we're in a pre-dead hard/ pre Dstrike meta from 2016, but with the addition of new stuff.

BT is still a must have, but the issue is you get BT for free every time you get hooked. So what ends up happening is survivors get unhooked and then rather than run away as BT is supposed make them less of a chase target instead of the unhooker, they weaponize it to bodyblock someone whose healthy usually and doesn't need the help which then makes them strategically the most viable target to focus. So it hasn't helped deter tunneling as they just force killers to tunnel them.

Accessibility is a rare Behaviour W, but currently all the accessibility aside from colorblindness stuff is survivor side only. They are supposed to be working on something to help killers with FoV issues that lead to motion sickness, but we're still a ways out from that materializing.

The grind has had a lot of sting taken out of it in some ways, but has been worsened in others. Shrine of Secrets is effectively useless as a grind reduction tool now as every tier of a perk can purchased rather than just he perk full stop. Which means it's basically impossible to convert iri shards in to bp by buying perks you already have unlocked because you most likely won't have all the tiers of a perk unlocked through prestige unless you're playing and leveling characters for thousands hours.

You've also been away for 10 months while a lot of us have been playing or staying involved with the game during that entire time period so we've been able to experience the granular issues that still exist in the game along with the new issues that have popped up over time. So our experiences are often going to be colored differently by the nature of what we have or haven't experienced on a regular basis. Also the game is constantly getting new players that only come to the forum when they encounter something they don't understand or can't deal with. You will also have more complaints than feel good posts as just generally speaking, people who are satisfied with the game usually aren't on the forum, they're playing the game.

Oh little one... You think holding W would be less effective but they made up for that by adding tons of pallets everywhere. I will say bout time for accessibility feature like killer FOV not being tied to a perk.

The game pretty balance but rushing your objective on both sides still need to be look at. Tunneling still = a win most of the time in solo q because every team come equip with one potatoe do to match making. Gen rushing can be especiallydifficult vs swf still. All of the perks right now are balance outside maybe made for this (which i don't think is that bad personally). 99% of the addons are fine as well outside bnp, mdr, TS peice, and some blight stuff.

Hard to enjoy the game as solo queue when someone is constantly throwing the trial.

Couldn't even tell you if the game is "good," because the last time I tried playing it other players were actively making sure everyone else had a miserable time.

The whining will never stop unfortunately. Most people are okay with critiquing their own performance but there's also a subset of people who will never acknowledge that their skill may not be as great as they think it is. It's always someone, or something, else's fault when they lose.
