Don’t pretend dlc killer perks magically solve killer problems.

Especially in light of Ashley’s rather questionable perk choices.

The truth is survivors have it easy peasy. Sometimes as a solo especially it doesn’t feel like it, but it’s true. You can locker hop all game while the others run the gens and escape and you’re only punishment is a lack of bp.

Survivors have only 1 goal: get out and survive. Every single survivor perk helps accomplish this in some way, and the way survivor plays, you CAN play with absolutely nothing but the clothes on your back and make it out.

Killers though? Killers only have 4 perk slots to cover a multitude of objectives and hurdles. Every killer build leaves themselves open to multiple weaknesses that can and will show up in games, and swf will take every single available opportunity to exploit that.

Do not pretend killers and survivors are on equal footing. They’re not. And if perks like MoM and Flip Flop go through they definitely won’t be, to the point that killers will probably stop playing and therefore queues will come to a standstill outside of toxic Legions playing dirty back.

    Hey Legions are not toxic. We are just ahead of the curve.

    “Only punishment is a lack of BP” LOL! Is that not the main reward? Lack of BP doesn’t constitute as a win since that also generally means a depip or black pip as well. Even if the survivor escapes, they get nothing out of the match.

    Killers have a MUCH higher potential to earn much more BP than survivors, yet you supposedly also want to kill easily. You don’t even need to kill survivors to earn a ridiculous amount. Normalize BP for both sides and then we’ll talk.

    They never really do. In most cases they are a bandaid counter (so many to chose from) and supports the "just use x perk" excuse, as if killers have a slot for every issue.

    You obviously don’t play both sides in this game. That or you’re better at survivor then you are killer, and aren’t as skilled as you wished. Playing Killer is not terrible. It’s still fun, and it really feels like you want it to be easier for you. Honestly, you might just not be good as a killer. Sometimes people* like games that they aren’t all that good at. Try survivor more, you might enjoy yourself better, or realize it’s not “easy peasy”

    Neither side is ez mode, but I won’t deny the game isn’t survivor favored.

    I play both sides. I am not amazing at either, but I know that survivors have it easier than they should and that killers have it harder especially against swf.

    It really feels like you don’t want surviving to be harder for you :)

    Well said. Those 2 new Evil Dead perks are broken.
