yay guys, more anti-killer changes coming soon

I think comparing the two playstyles is a bit naive given that they serve completely different purposes.

I didn't play during old ruin (the one where you had to hit great skill checks to avoid passive slowdown) - you have to admit that it was goofy watching people gen tap to prevent the active slowdown ruin provided.

If you're talking about ruin/undying, it was incredibly strong. Even if Ruin is weaker now, I'd argue that it needs a buff if anything - it was still a strong combination that many killers utilized.

Same for the survivor side with Dead Hard. I probably was one of the few survivors who didn't use it (I got tired of seeing exhausted on the ground) when I timely hit it. Even Dead Hard now (in my opinion) is a weaker Dramaturgy. It's the only exhaustion perk that doesn't effectively work like an exhaustion perk only giving you three times. It's a gutted version of how it was and its nerf buffed tunneling as no one needs to wait out a Dead Hard anymore.

Old Dead Hard, sure - it was overused and it deserved the nerf that it got but what it is now is a weak perk that people are better off using other exhaustion perks for, but that's my opinion — I might be biased as a Sprint Burst user, but I'd argue Sprint Burst takes more skill than Dead Hard. 😁

I fail to see anything being a nerf to survivors tho:
1. surrender option, mainly a buff since you dont have to DC to play another game.
2. gamma adjustments, people are already doing this on PC for ages, all this does is give it to console killers, who are arguably underperforming compared to pc killers in general anyway, so not really a nerf either way. Especially since survivors also get it, and a lot of killers that currently benefit from a map being dark (dredge especially), will be less effective. But again, survivors are found slightly easier too. Not a nerf or buff either way and if any noticable effect takes place, it would affect killers more negatively than survivors
3. Go next implementation, will depend on what it will take into account. I think it will be pattern based rather than being based on individual matches. In fact, I think one of the most important factors will be purposely missing hook skillchecks as the first survivor to die, with 4-5 gens remaining and instantly joining another game. Where people who might be the first survivor to die by purposely missing hook skillchecks at 5 gens, but instead will close the game, wont be identified. The system would need some transparancy to players, so we can actively report it when the system is applied in cases where it shouldnt have been, but that's kinda the only questionable addition in the list that could actively negatively affect normal survivor players.
4. Crows instantly revealing survivors might sound like a nerf, but is it really? There are already very easy ways to avoid crows in general. The only personal issue I have with the crow changes, is having to wait for 3 crows before losing collision instead of 2. Because its RARE for 2 crows to appear at any time. In fact, what I would add is make the survivor exposed and cagable (like in 2v8) at 3 crows instead, so that a killer can go there, down and instantly hook them without wasting time. But not a nerf.
5. Map offerings, the only actual nerf, but one that has been needed since 2017. It's weird that 1 survivor offering can fully cancel 1 killer offering. I do still hope they would give killers a 50% chance instead of a 20% chance, and give the ability to stack to survivors, so that survivors would need at least 3 offerings to match the chances of the killer, but that's open for interpretation later down the line and probably would need a bit more work.
6. Spawn rules changing are both a buff and a nerf. Its easier for survivors to remain undetected for longer, and due to other spawn rules they can accurately predict where the killer spawned and sit freely on a gen in that area, but Lethal Pursuer grants more value, and killers can predict where you and your teammates spawned, leading to more consistent early chases if survivors dont avoid being detected properly.

The rest of the points dont really matter, but I fail to see, other than map offerings, how any of this is a nerf for survivors by any means.

And I wont be needing to buy you a drink for part 1, because point 1 and 3 are HUGE benefits for survivor games in general. It's not a buff or nerf, but more consistently playing a 4v1 rather than having 35% of my games being a 3v1 is a win. The map offering one doesnt matter except for SWF, and SWF needs a nerf anyway.

After reading through many of your posts, I’m curious about your opinion on my case.

For your context I mostly play Killer with no meta perks, and go for hooks. I don’t tunnel/camp/slug unless Survivors bodyblocks.

Now, do you believe if I told you I lost most matches when paired with Survivors who are actually on-par with my skill? Survivors who doesn’t fall for simple tricks that can go toe-to-toe with me in chase. In other words, an opponent who’s more interesting to face.

Most matches that I won are against those who clearly isn’t as skillful as me, who only lasts 10 seconds in chase. These matches are boring that sometimes I even let them all escape.

So what should I even do at this point?
