Why are there so many killer nerfs? I've not touched the game in a week and I see that trash changeling and won't touch it again for some time.

    Oh no, you won't be handheld by your perks. boo hoo.

    If you played survivor you would know how it feels to play against killer meta perks.

    Killers have been eating pretty good in the past. Lower tier killers got buffed, maps have become much more balanced, and they have seen a fair amount of good perks and perk buffs as well.

    These nerfs to the best slowdown perks aren't the end of the world for killer. They are rather fair if you ask me. Even if I'd rather have tunneling and camping nerfed.

    This is to please the survivors who make up 80% of our users. With the HUD visualization, base kit BT, hook grab-no delete, anti face camp system and 3gen countermeasure system of last year and the year before, the only thing killer players can do is to be a practice partner for survivor's chases.

    2k win streak for best killers and 200 win streak for best survivor team. Comp players facing best killers (blight/nurse) is usually decided WHEN killer gets 4K instead of how many survivors gets sacrificed. In normal plays killers get 60% kill rate on average - and some killers getting even more.

    So by basically ALL THE END RESULT MEASURES, killers have it very easy. Survivor nerfs (especially maps - like new haddonfield) is the real deciding factor. So I REALLY don't get your comment about KILLER being practice partner when all the results are clearly stating the opposite.

    Balance, they found kill rates higher than they would like them with the exception of the killers getting buffed. Its all data driven.
