Event is so killer sided that players are trying to get adepts
Only today I saw 3 killers running adept, 3! Out of 7 games, 3 were adept
Counting the previous days since the event started, I noticed a lot of adepts killers lately
Now that I realized that, I'm getting all the adepts I have left in the event

eye rolls into outer space
I can't believe they would try to get achievements during the event!

Killers: run meta perks
"SO unfair, this game is a boring slog because my gen takes more than 30 seconds to pop. UGH"
Killers: play adept
" WOW this is so killer-sided they think they can take us on with adept perks!"20 -
That's cool, hope they get the achievement.

Is it?
Im getting great value from
Quiet mode (it removes scratch marks, pools of blood and sound)
Windows Blocking.
Revealed hex locations.
Revealed Chest locations.
Extra pallets (if you can hit with it)
Yeah the instant hooking and the pallet breaking is nice for the killer, but i think the above makes it up for it.I think my escape rate as survivor SoloQ is about 40-50% (and no im not just sitting in a corder or locker and hide all game).Its so easy to trick killers with quiet mode and a little moving around.

Killer shack is even more unbearable with Window-Blocks.

Quiet mode doesnt remove scratch marks
Window blocking is good, but it relies on an actual good vault otherwise the killer can just go around and does nothing. It's somewhat good if the killer has Bamboozle, and sometimes you can't even use it because it activates quiet mode instead.
If the killer doesnt run hexes then what?
Yeah, lets spend time opening chests instead of doing gens, very survivor sided
The party pallets are weak as hell and only bad killers will fall for them, plus killers have the "endure a stun" effect and they can activate right before the stun
You forgot to mention:
The "deja vu" icon at the beginning of the trial, basekit Lethal Pursuer and even though the survivors are also seeing the killer (if not undetectable), the value is still insane because you can engage in an early chase.
The expose/heal could be good in theory, but in practice its just too good to instant down healthy survivors, the value is too much.
30% haste makes killer even faster than survivors if you compare with basekit speed, and they have bigger lunge as well. Survivors don't even have faster vaults
Undetectable/Scratch Marks is another one that benefits killers more, if survivors don't know where or when the killer is coming, their hidden scratch marks make no difference
If a killer player thinks the event is doing them more harm than good, than I have bad news. Maybe its not the event that is causing them to lose, maybe its something else…

Even with the window blocked for 3 seconds, the entity will still block it after 3 vaults
Think smart

Quiet Mode is so overpowered in my opinion.
1 -
Good thing it’s an optional mode and you’re not forced to play it.

People really understood my initial post as if I was complaining huh?
I blame the fact that english is not my first language
Just to be clear: It's not a complain, I'm just pointing a fact out. Besides, I just realize now that I can get my adepts in the event as well, and I will

im pretty sure it does, killers always loose me when i use it.
the "lethal" works for survivors too.
what if the killer runs full hex build ?
3 -
3 secs is a long time in a chase, if the killer just stands still and wait for it they are loosing the chase, its rare that i see 3 vaults at the same window, i have lost a lot of killers by blocking the window tho.

Quiet mode doesnt remove scratch marks
Like I said, the "lethal" is still stronger on the killer sided, a chase before any survivor touching a generator is way too strong. I had a game where all survivors spawn in the corner of the swap map and this effect was in play. 2 survivors got downed before a single gen was touched
If the killer runs a hex build its on them. Most of the builds I see is Ruin/Devour/Undying with Pentimento, or Plaything with Pentimento. Also, the totem effect just make greedy survivors waste more time for points going for the totems, revealing their location to the killer instead of focusing on the objectives. Sure killers can do totems as well, but they are already patrolling the area and doing their objective as they go to the totem.

If you are standing still you are already playing bad

I disagree, that the survivors can see what direction the killer goers from the start is a big advantage, just change direction when the aura reading is off.
it might "be on the killer" but it still shuts down a complete playstyle.
Sounds like you never tried to play a killer with a totem build → they get destryoed when in a chase, so no they cant both defend them and catch the survivors.

Exactly my point
1 -
People are not using the window block to keep running shack, they use Window Block to force you through the long way round while they have a head start to next tile.
The reason it's unfun to do is because it denies potential mindgames, like moonwalking vault or double vault.
It adds another bottleneck besides the guaranteed god pallet.
I dont like the shack loop. I am trying to learn how to deal with it, but it feels like the limiting factor is the reaction time of the survivor, and not my ability to mindgame them.4 -
People do Adepts all the time?
I dont see how this is any different compared to normal matches?

The game has always been killer sided. The only people who claim it isn't are killer mains. As someone who plays both sides, it's extremely obvious.
1 -
It's not exactly "killer sided" par se, just that killers can do little more without perks, it's more of a "super basekit" for both survivors and killers that helps in mostly anything
1 -
The game is killer sided at low mmr and survivor sided at high mmr. → this is not new information.
2 -
Someone running trapper without perks can beat a full SWF team, right?
So the game is killer sided
1 -
That's incorrect, and the conclusion is kinda ridiculous
I'm not sure if it's joking or not, to be honest
6 -
I think this might be due to the heavy discount on all the original characters currently, so people are getting new characters as they're easy to level up right now too, with how many bloodpoints you can get during event. For example I bought 5 new killers and 5 survivors with iri shards and worked through most of their adepts on the event mode.

A perkless SWF can beat me when i play Nurse with Meta perks, so Nurse must be the weakest killer, right?
My statement from my previous reply is nothing new, so im sure you can google it if you think im making things up.

I mean, with survivors instantly giving up a 5 gens before even the first hook it makes sense to go for adept.
1 -
Entire game is killer sided.
Gotta pump those 60%+ kill rates up.
0 -
No, you are just proving the point that the game is killer sided if the killer player is good
1 -
Do you know what I'm referring too? If so, you probably have read many of the comments about it. Make it as you will
2 -
Oh no! Adept! The horror!
I already won against 3 killers attempting adept, how is this even a measurement of balance?
0 -
Care to explain that?
0 -
I mean, "killer sided" means "game balance is biased towards specific side or character", and it really doesn't makes sense to say "game balance is favoring good players", because like, literally every games are biased towards good players
I haven't seen a game that does not give any "advantage" by getting better

Killers and Survivors in SoloQ! It's like it's the final week to do them or something. I've never seen anything like this so frequently, match after match.

Thanks everybody for the encouragement words
I got a bunch of adepts of killers that I don't play almost ever
There are some killers left, including the ones I don't have
Let's see the next event
2 -
Wow! I hope many Killers were able to get adepts this event. Adepts can be really tricky sometimes.
