My Thoughts about the Game Right Now
Honestly I've been kinda upset of where this game is heading. Every time a patch comes out it's morely for Survivor Mains. I've had multiple games straight where Survivors did not do any Gens and just Gave up as soon as the game started and did no Gens just because of the Killer I was playing. Honestly I understand there is some Strong Killers in the game but I feel Like I can't even play a killer I Actually Enjoy or want to learn
They Bring Anti-Slugging, Anti-Camping and Anti-Tunneling but they don't add anything to help provent Survivors from forcing Killers to do these things Like There's no Anti-Gen Rushing, Anti-Bulling Squads of any kind. They make Killers unable to kick a Gen after suffering from being kicked or regressed to much which Honestly Regression needs the Biggest Buff in history in my opinion. There's times I Kick a Gen and after few secs that Gen gets completed. I'm not saying Survivors doing there Objective is bad I'm saying the Devs are making this game into a Killer Holds Survivor Mains Hands all game Simulator and that's frustrating. I see why no one plays Killer anymore because it's just you playing baby sitting making sure the survivors have a good time then doing ur Objective.
Killers barely reserve any blood points as for survivors get spoiled with blood point Bonuses. Every time there's a event what I see is survivor side gets a 300% Bonus as Killer side gets nothing. Killer Mains Quit the game because it's no longer fun to play the game. Are ways of playing are being limited as survivors get infinite strategys that are rather game breaking or so op that it's basically a free win every time for them.
We will be seeing alot more OP killers like Nurse, Blight, Ghoul and Other OP killers that can Keep up as for others they will be no longer be played because they will no longer have any value in the game.

Well, I understand that it can be really frustrating to not enjoy the direction DBD is going. That happened to me from mid-2019 until, like, 2023, and I know how bad it feels to watch a game you enjoy become something you dislike.
However, I don't think there is much being stacked against killers right now, and the new features from the health update are a good thing, or at least they look promising.

I gather you have not been playing this game for that long, as the game has never been more killer sided than ever before.
Maps have been nerfed (made significantly smaller), gen repair times nerfed (increased) loops have been nerfed and second chance perks are very situational and have all been nerfed (as they should have been btw). You would have really hated pre-2020 DBD if you think killers have it rough now.
There are also random nerfs to survivor that I rarely see spoken about; they added a lot of weird ass loops that are incredibly awkward to navigate and ultimately very unsafe (think Nostromo/Toba), they removed a vast number of loops off maps and replaced connecting tiles with incredibly unsafe pallets that literally come down to a 50/50 mind game.
They also placed a lot of random junk to get stuck on in loops and I cant count the number of times recently where I get stuck on literally nothing, just something makes my movement almost stop for no apparent reason.

This is actually quite funny :) I stopped playing the game since before chucky came out for exactly the opposite reason.
As for the balancing - so long that the game is balanced for 60% kill rate (or rather anything above 50% as a target), the game feels inherently unfair to me. And as the game effectively removed the biggest fun factor that I enjoyed (sabotaging hooks by adding bazillion new ones - when flashlight save was already way easier), the game lost any appeal for me.
I am providing this response just as a frame of reference. The game is still more killer sided even if they help survivors some. Because in the end, the changes that they do are always balanced out so, that killers come on top (for me kill rate equals win rate as I come from perspective of killer playing 4 games at a same time).
Right now I play mostly League and I enjoy the game actually being fair (some hero getting 56% win rate are grounds for immediate hotfix patch. 60% wins would mean at minimum immediate disabling the hero as it would be considered game breaking. In DBD, it's target - so much for hand holding survivors).

I would argue the game has definitely been more killer sided than it is right now. Game was definitely even better for killer right after the 6.1.0 update for example.
Right now the game isn't really killer sided at all. Not in general at least. Of course there are a few killers that make the game killer sided, Nurse in particular. But in general both sides have access to some very strong stuff. The bigger problem in my opinion is just how unfun the game can become for survivor sometimes, due to tunneling, camping and slugging. All strategies that are just way too strong for how easy they are to pull off and how unfun they are to go against.
Maps have definitely improved for killers, but in general I would say we have quite a few balanced maps now. Of course there are some maps that sadly became a bit killer sided as well. It's good though that more maps now have 50/50 loops as well, as mindgameable loops are definitely healthy for the game. As long as maps don't just exclusively have those type of loops.

Ive only posted my thoughts and feelings. I don't say it's survivor side as in that the games unbalanced. I'm saying that it feels like the Devs are only focused of the Survivors side of the game and not the Killer side. That's why I said Killer sides strategies are being limited as in Survivors get everything. Gen Rushing has been a serious issue and is actually worse in 2v8. I some matches end in a minute before I could even find the first survivor. I only want balance for both sides to make it fun for both sides
