Blight Nurse Wesker Every Game
I have played a lot over the last 2 days and every single game with the exception of a nemesis that DC and a single trickster has been blight nurse wesker.
Can we get some kind of nerf to nurse blight because they are honestly just obnoxious to play against. Wesker isn't really that op, but hes by a mile the most played killer. I'm honestly at the point where i WANT to play against a gen kick skull merchant as at least it would mean that i'd get to play against something different for once.
Another solution would be to nerf Blight, nurse and maybe wesker slightly(by making his hitboxes actually functional) and then just buff other killers, more regular balance changes would be nice to shake up a stale meta that's been apart of the game for years at this point. The game has so many amazing killers that are so fun to play against like the new Sadako(less fun to play admittedly), or Singularity, or dredge, or artist, or cenobite, or Billy(rip billy). You get the point there are so many killers that are fun to play and play against but people just don't really play them since why would you when you can just easily 4K on blight nurse and have a somewhat easy game on wesker. A lot of the op addons eventually got nerfed to have an actual downside like iri head huntress for example.
We need more killers with counterplay like Sadako or singularity or hell even like oni where the counterplay isnt just try and mindgame the killer and pray they fall for it.
Maybe my rng for games has been terrible, but who knows.
TLDR: make the insanely op killers less strong and make the killers that aren't played because why would you ever play them when they are actual garbage when you could just play the OP ones. Maybe also don't balance mainly on kill rates because a killer with a learning curve of course will have a low kill rate compared to something easy and strong.

They just need to across the board buff all the weaker killers. People spam those killers because one they’re fun, but also because they like to feel like they have a fair chance of winning against swf and good survivors and most the killer roster doesn’t fit this criteria. Losing because you picked the wrong killer doesn’t feel good.

i think its more that other killer have to go through "bad design" of loops to get hits while stronger killers can ignore bad design of pallets by using their power to create the mindgame to get hits on survivor. killer's base-kit of a lot of power in chase is too weak and the power-gimmick that is suppose help them in chase is over-balanced for average survivor player to do well at loops but average survivor player is not that good at looping if that makes any sense. killer wants to have powers that have a chance to get hits on highest-level of loopers, not the average to poor level of looping. that is why you see mostly stronger killers.

Yup, totally agree.

People play them because they are fun to play and have a power in chase. Instead of asking for nerfs ask for BHVR to make the other killers fun to play and strong as well.
Huntress is incredibly fun to play and can be super strong, but if you land on 90 percent of the maps that exist, her power reduces substantially (including her own map because of all the clutter and loops you can't throw over) Even with that she is still played quite a bit because she is fun.
Sadako is much more fun to play now, because of the rework, and I think as more people give her a shot we will see more of her.
Singularity isn't seen often because it feels horrible to work to set up your power just to have it taken away.
Billy..... We all know why no one plays him.
Trapper doesnt work in this meta and hasn't for a while because slowdown was nerfed too heavily to give him time to set up
Hag is also a setup killer and can't really commit to chases
Wraith, Michael, Ghostface: M1 killers that can't compete super well and don't really have a fun interactive chase mechanics
If you want to see more killer variety, nerfing the strong ones aren't the way to go. Solving why the weaker, less fun ones, aren't played is what should be done.

when I come across a Wesker I just pull myself off the hook because it's my protest. I don't want to play against him and these two anymore

And the other players who don't play those killers? What can they do to protest repeatedly facing stacked SWF? They can't just pull themself off the hook to go next. They have to play out the whole match.
If they want to protest, it means either playing survivor or playing a different game. And what does that leave behind... The killers that can compete.

swf that plays normally, and not under beer discusses everyday things - 1 in 20 games

Why play a weaker Killer and get told to unalive yourself by a team of Meal Team 6 when you can play a Killer that actually can somewhat compete against the BS Survivors have access to?
