Its so relaxing, if i make a mistake its okay, I can always come back from it, and the escape rate is absolutely bliss for me right now, my 1000 hours, which i know isnt a lot, feels like their actually rewarding me for understanding the game and being good at loops, and not seeing my whole team die and then me based off association

Anyways, the win rates seemed to be inversed now with survivors being the 60% and killers being the 40%, seeing the past 5 discussions being on how its unfair surviviors have a natural advantage and how half the time the killers duo is trash is kind of funny.

(Not justifying the balance by the way, i know killers having it rough right now)

    not exactly. you play Nurse+Blight or Billy+Blight and you win every game.

    the changes heavily punished weaker killers because unlimited breakable+faster gen speed is unavoidable.

    I feel very different, I find it frustrating as I am matched with anyone and everyone and team mates clearly have no idea what they are doing a lot of the time.

    Having skill is not rewarded if the killers double team you, there is no skill involved as a single survivor cant deal with 2 killers unless the killers are absolutely awful. I have escaped from killers as they cant catch me many times and for me it feels really bad when those killers get me simply because I got caught out in a 2v1 where skill does not matter. Having 5k hours in game means nothing either

    I only play this event for the BP in all honesty, I find it more frustrating than enjoyable

    2 killers on you should be 7 survivors on uncontested generators. It's hard, but that's where the magic is imo.

    The kicker for me is moreso about the teams you kinda get; tons of inefficiency in 2v8 sometimes when there shouldn't be. Curse you, Mr. Dull Totem! The bane of my existence, I tell ya.

    SHOULD be yes but so many times I see literally nobody on a gen and it is infuriating to me, inefficient is an understatement.

    I feel that MMR is effectively off as I guess matching 8 survivors has to be far less strict and it really shows. Killers going around the map paired up is a losing strat for sure as they obviously have no map pressure doing that but if nobody is doing gens what does it matter?

    I find 2v8 infuriating, team mates hiding, not doing gens, making opening chests a priority, cleansing dull totems and I just had a match where a Meg left me caged to go and hide the corner - I mean she literally ran past me while not even being chased!

    I will take the bonus BP but I cant wait for this mode to be over in all honesty

    It's frustrating as Killer if you aren't Billy + Blight. It's frustrating as Surv because potato randoms. I can't wait for this mode to be finished so I can do actual normal games with actual normal queue times. The BP isn't worth it, I'm doing the tome and that's it. I would genuinely rather be playing Lights Out or the Killer-sided Masquerade event as Survivor than playing this absolute tunnel and genrush fest.

    It was too early to bring this back. This version sucks, Devs. Go back to the drawing board. Start over.

    my post references how i think survivior role feels more like killer, i didnt say i was a killer i said survivior feels like its killer because of how its balanced
    although i think huntress is the mvp of the gamemode, her kit is perfect for large numbers

    Killer is not relaxing, nor is it normal for you to come back from mistakes.

    I wouldn't say half are bad. Just Deathslinger and Trapper…
