Why is killer wait time so long comepared to survivor que time?
So it takes significantly longer to find a game as killer compared to the counter part survivor,why? Does bhvr have some biase against killers I need to know about? Cause as it stands the incentive to play survivor is significantly higher than it is to play killer, so why in the entity does it take longer?

The incentive is higher on survivor BECAUSE the wait is longer on killer.
There's a very long wait because a new killer with a popular power just released, so a lot more people want to play killer right now. Anyone queuing for survivor will find one of those many killers very quickly, meaning the other killers have to wait longer.
The incentive is to try and coax some more people into playing survivor so the ratio isn't as unbalanced and everyone can find matches quicker.

Because everyone is playing the new Killer, the queue is full.

I mean as it stands I'm a iri1 survivor so there's no need for me to play as survivor, I'm trying to do a late grind to ir1 killer already at gold iv

Killer is just way easier and a lot more fun than survivor

It always been like this even befire this new killer lol. Incentives for survivor is almost always on like 95% of time and its been this way since last year.
Shows just how lesser of survivors players are as time goes. I am also assuming the distortion gutting and finisher mori being part of it.

A new killer has released. Of course the queue times will be longer for a little bit.

you are pretty right I mean I overall just quit the game and keep it for when a friend wants us to play custom games. The normal mode is just torture to be played and I completely understand survivors refusing to participate anymore since it is such a pain. Especially with this new killer being added.

new killer means more people playing killer which increases que times for killer

Now it's due to the new killer being released, before it was because of the que being split for modifiers.
Honestly as a killer main these days I'm having more fun playing on survside and as a pros no one is complaining about how I play

I have to say it got so bad I am kinda forcing myself to play else my trevor may have hit 100 ages ago who current been 78 for 2 weeks lmao and also cause am a streamer but now that am affliate and it may cause lost viewers, Happiness comes first.
I much rather stream other things even cartoon idv is better lol. Cause sometimes even 1 bad match on killer sided by light specially when with potatoes solo q makes me nope not streaming this today.
Even my 3man swf is not enough now if not 4 man I will pass, as it even take one dumb solo q person trying to be wannabe jrm/aryun wasting time chasing a killer with a flashlight who has crutches born is annoying or pulling me or said 2 man off hooks clearly farming us for the killer.

Its a combination of two things.
The first being the gerneral consequence of a killer only chapter. New mechanics of an extremely popular character outside of DBD. People are flooding to play it
The second is survivors are taking a break from the game in large numbers. This is, in my case and others, because of the near constant games of back to back ghoul matches, coupled with the absurdly high rate of tunneling and slugging utilized to get the merciless achievement and the "Its a valid strat" people. It just isnt fun and so many like me, are taking a break until the hype dies down. You will see a decrease during the blood moon event.
TLTR: People wanna play as Kaneki, survivors are tired of kaneki and the hard tunneling

A new killer just came out, and he's fun.
More killers queued than there are packs of survivors queued, so you gotta wait in line.

Also lets not forget flashlights are completely worthless. The killer has a brain and does not let you blind him even at a pallet anymore. I just never bring flashlight although a medkit is barely good with needing so much just for 1 or 2 heals and toolboxes are the only viable thing but the killer might just go kill you for bringing a toolbox. Just sucks too much to use anything anymore if you play survivor you just won't have a good time almost all the time

I haven't played the game in like 2 months and honestly I am pretty darn happy not to deal with such an unbalanced and unfair matchmaking. It is just so bullshit to always be facing agianst 8000 hour killers or survivors. The moment I see how many damn hours they have I just don't wish to deal with them. Not to mention the constantly same ######### I see about the same 15 perks every game as killer or survivor and the same strategy applied by both sides every game. I don't see how it can be fun anymore its not balanced whatsoever and its repetitive now to the bone not even just in objectives but the whole thing itself.

Yup, I rather flashbang anyday and if solo q am taking self care or strengh in shadows for health. Takes just 1 disgusting cheap Franklin's ro ruin even a med kit with 2 charges . I bring a broken key or brown tool box at most now and lol at them wasting a perk slot on Franklin's.
Guess what with flashbang and self care/shadows am still gonna gonna now be able to heal and even if you don't have lightborn which is common anyways, your gonna be blinded , so fast your Franklin's lol

Killer que times are long right now because behaviour is pushing BOT GHOULS into rhe game just for the sake of promoting the new killer. It is that simple. I personally think its bullcrap and ridiculous to make real players wait just to push an agenda. It happens with every new killer for a few days to even a week sometimes. Trust me, all the ghouls that survivors are going against right now at least half are bots and that's just a fact.

Because nobody wants to play Survivor. Can you blame them?
3 -
Or its because a new killer just dropped so people are wanting to play said killer…
I mean this happens almost every time a dlc drops.

Killer queue time goes up every time a new killer is released.
Usually wait times aren't that bad when its a survivor and killer dlc, but since its a killer only dlc wait times icrease.

People say that there are more survivor players in the game, so if that was the case the incentive wouldn't be as high.
Like others have said, the release of Kaneki, their snowball potential, and the potential to tunnel is what makes the survivor que time go up.
It's fascinating because you'd think killers who have these long queue times wouldn't opt to end the game so fast, as they have to sit in 7-8 minute queue times, to end a game just as fast, and then be in the long queue time cycle.

flashbangs don't blind the killer if he has lightborn? They never did at least before. So yeah you are right if you play solo que you gotta be selfish or you are just gonna be dragged down by your teammates

oh no sorry i didnt explain clear. I met with having flashbang+selfcare/shadows I still have blinds/heals but ofc if they have lightborn flashbang is a wasted perk slot xD. Else overall when they want to use cringe franklins they wasted a perk slot since I will always have a heal/blind on me.
