But then… The survivor nation attacked…
Has anyone seen the blood point bonus switch to the survivor side lately? Maybe it’s just the queues at night, but I think the Killers may have become an endangered species lol
Just for measurement purposes, comment if you are a survivor main or a killer main.
(Added After)
Thanks for all of your great responses! I’m in Japan and I have logged on in the afternoon a few times lately and the bloodpoint bonus has still been on killer which is pretty unusual. Just wondering if the killer population really has decreased. I know a lot of killer mains have been very sad about MFT so yeah.

If the BP bonus is for survivors it means there's too many killers / not enough survivors.
For me (EU - average MMR) the incentives is +100% for survivors during the day and it switches to +100% for killers at night.
I play both but I've been playing killer more since a bit before the singularity chapter

Surely the bloodpoint bonus on survivor is to encourage people to play survivor which would mean there are enough killers but not enough survivors. They're probably all on TCM.

it stays on survivor for most of the day. but switches to killer during the night.

I have only seen the bonus once on the survivor side and it was a +50% bonus and not a full +100%

In EU it was always on Survivor during the day and in the evening/night it switches to Killer. This does not mean that Killers are leaving the game or an endangered species. This is only said by Killer Mains who really think the game is worse than it is.
I think most people play both sides. And most people have time during the evening. Which means that this is the best time to play with friends, aka SWF. E.g. I play Killer during the day. When a friend of mine is online, it is evening/night so we play Survivor. This removes one Killer from the Killer Pool and adds two Survivors. Which means that 1 1/2 Killers are needed to compensate for this (1 for the spot I left and 1/2 for the spot I took with my friend).
It is just players shifting to a different role. Not Killers leaving.

For me quite the opposite it's been lot more on killer than before. It's still days on survivors but I mainly play now at evenings so I play now killer most of the time. If neither side has bp bonus I play another game.

exactly what Annso_x said its to balance which means there are more killers
0 -
I'm not touching solo q even with +100% I still get more BP playing killer, 2x0 is still 0

Almost always on survivor until about 9PM. Sometimes it might switch to no incentive or killer but still survivor for the most part.

Neither of you three has understood OPs first sentence.
"Has anyone seen the blood point bonus switch to the survivor side lately?"
Aka it apparently has been on killer permanently for OP for some time. Therefore they talk about killer as an "endangered species".

On my server it's pretty consistently survivor +100% most of the time, meaning there's no shortage of killer players. The one exception is from 6 PM to about midnight; I assume this means there's a fairly consistent supply of killer players and the survivor players are mostly playing in the evening.

I'm in AUS and it's almost always killer bonus when I play??
2 -
guess I'm insane then?
weird thing to say
2 -
My experience as well, its survivor bonus during the day (but i play killer then, because you get more casual players), and switches to killer (mabe because it is swf time then).
I play both sides, but more killer for some time now, becaues killer has become increasingly better while solo survivor just isnt fun in a tunneling and camping meta.

noone understood this sentence for some reason. but to answer it the incentive is on survivor on day time for me and switches to killer in early evening. but lately it started to switch to killer a bit earlier than normal, idk.

Dont remember the last time I played and i seen it on survivor. even right now its on killer and its 11 am est. Not that long ago it would be a survivor bonus at this time but those days are seemingly over.

NA the bouns shift constantly throughout the day. Maybe I'm just lucky

On EU - Evening: 100% for killers all the time. It means there is not enough killers.
2 -
I play both, though I play killer more (I'd say it's probably a 70%/30% split) and I usually see it for killer. Even when it is on survivor, it's usually 25% or 50% rather than 100.
2 -
US West - its mostly a survivor bonus, though the cage patch did allow me to play a lot of killer at 100% for awhile.
On the bonuses, I don't think anyone has mentioned it, but your MMR is supposed to also play into the calculations (two people in the same region could get different bonuses because their MMR needs different things), though exactly how has never been disclosed to my knowledge.

US - East
Mostly play killer
For me it's 25% Survivor during the day and then 100% Killer at night.

I am in Europe as well and the 100% blood point bonus for survivor is only between 8 AM and 11 AM since Transmission End came out. It is on killer all other hours.
2 -
It’s the same as it has always been for me: Survivor in the day, killer at night. Would you say the survivor population has dwindled since it’s always on survivor during the day in my region?

It is also related to your MMR. My brother is the type who plays games and always lets the survivors go at the end so he never raises his MMR. His bonus is almost always on killer regardless of the time. Right now he is 100% killer. At the exact same time I have 100% survivor. Your MMR definitely matters.

I have 100% survivor during the day and 100% killer late at night. It depends on MMR and region so it's not the same for everyone.
I have a photo I took when I changed platforms, that showed my new low MMR acc had 100% killer while my older mid MMR acc had 100% survivor. Both at the same time.

I see it on survivor regularly.

Good for you.

They've been the same as basically always for me, they vary throughout the day here in northern-ish EU. Works for me, usually on survivor during the time the person I duo with is available, and on killer earlier and later in the day and night.
Also, 100 times this. It just makes sense, because when are people most likely to not be busy with school, work, family or whatever else is going on in their life? At some point in the evening. If it could be measured I'm certain the "play killer when alone, play survivor when friends are around" demographic is a big one.
But I guess the mere thought that there's a large amount of the playerbase that don't fit neatly into the survivor/killer main camps makes some people borderline uncomfortable, sure seems like it sometimes.

Early morning 100% survivor. Then around the middle of the day it switches to 100% killer with a occasional swing to 25% survivor at the evening. But most of the time its 100% killer.

We're in different MMR brackets then, the bonus has always been +100% for survivors until 8-9PM since it was implemented for me (except after Nicolas Cage came out and everyone wanted to play survivor a couple of weeks or during events)

Which shouldnt be much more rare than it is, because you need 4 players on survivor-side, but only 1 on killer-side. When the incentives are on killer (which has hugely increased), its a sign that less players are playing killer. Wonder why?
0 -
Yeah +100% for survivors during the day and +100% for killers at night seems normal to me. During the day less people play so it's more difficult to find 4 survivors for every killer, but after people come back from work there's more people available to play with friends which they can only do with one role so there's always way more survivors than killers. Unless there's an event or new chapter (usually people play more killer during those) it's always been like that for me.
If the incentives were +100% for killers all the time I'd be expecting a massive survivor nerf / killer buff tbh (but also I'd be happy because killer queues are always too long for me lol)

Its 1p.m. and I have +25% on survivor. This is normal stuff in the last weeks. In about 2 hours, it stays on killer for the rest of the day.
Well... Killers are underperforming (few exceptions) since Made for this, as you can see in the Nightlight-Community-Stats with an average killrate of 52%, which is a 2K. Only 2 killers can reach 60%+, which is what BHVR wanted... average 60%.
Even with old deadhard and the Boon-Era, Killers were stronger than right now. I assume this was the case because survivors ran to their Circle of Healing frequently while they stick at gens in the current meta. Healing is out, Chests are worthless, because you get items en masse thanks to the huge grind reduction and Totems arent worth anything anymore.
This ends up in even faster gens (5-6min-Games are no exception anymore) and in more frustration on both sides, cause its just boring. BHVR need to adress this Gen-Tunneling vs. Kill-Tunneling at all.

It's weekend though so more people are home, so it makes sense that more people are playing survivor if you are using Annso_x's explanation.

US-East. Play killer/survivor about 70%/30%, though I tend to follow the bonus.
It used to switch back and forth with survivor bonus 100% during the day and killer bonus 100% at night. These days it's survivor bonus 25-50% early in the day, then killer 100% the rest or the time.

Mine is 100% killer pretty much 24/7. It’ll maybe be on 25-50-% survivor here and there, but will change back after a short time.
