When will gen speeds get nerfed?

I’m personally not a fan of this approach where they keep throwing free perks at everyone, just makes it feel like the perks are all meaningless except for the good ones, which you get for free.

So basically you whine whenever you don't get what you want.

I don't need to eat the ######### sandwich to know that it tastes bad.

How many times are you going to bust out this stale remark?

I think you only really need to rework toolboxes to fix gen speeds, nothing else really needs doing. People bring up gen speed perks too, but stacking a full build of those nets you about half the speed of a toolbox with significantly more restrictions, I really don't think it's a problem.

Most patches have been lightly killer sided since 6.1.

There have been a few landmark ones that added big stuff for survivors, but those + every other patch have contained a good chunk of killer changes too.
Every patch over the past few years, with a few exceptions, has had some kind of buff to killers. If you include perks, it's every patch to my recollection. This is definitely true of year 8, at least, I actively went through most of those for another post a few months ago- a few in year 6 may be a bit less killer sided, now that I'm typing this, some of those were undoing big problems in 6.1.
Then again, musing out loud here, the biggest of those was 6.7.0 and I'd argue that was definitely killer leaning overall…

There's been a big push over the past three years to raise killer strengths via direct buffs, indirect buffs, and survivor nerfs. It's not only been that, survivors get buffs too, but that's the overall trend. For the record, that's a good thing- killers started this process actively weak.

It's continuing here, mind you. This patch has more nerfs to killers than the usual, but it's still buffing killers both broadly and in their specific kits.

…If nothing else of note is in the patch, yes.

A lot of patches recently have kinda just had small buffs for killers and a few survivor perk buffs alongside the killer perk buffs. Definitionally, regardless of how good those changes are, the patch kinda has to be killer sided at that point.

You claimed there was blatant favoritism, I explained that the "favoritism" you're referring to is in reality the asymmetrical game being asymmetrical.

No. Because most patches only really have one big change and a bunch of smaller changes, and because most of those smaller changes are killer buffs, most patches lean slightly killer sided.

You didn't ask which side gets bigger buffs, you asked how many killer sided patches there's been since 6.1.0. That's why I responded, it's something I noticed a while back; most patches trend towards killer changes.

Ragebait.

Eh, the word "almost" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.

Big changes don't have to lean towards either side. For example, the quest system was a big change respective to the patch it was in, and that's completely neutral, same with the big store update. In those patches, the actual gameplay changes tend to be primarily for killer.

Though for the record, you're missing:

• the FOV slider
• survivors spawning together
• basekit mori (though this is more just fun flavour than anything else)
• scratch mark improvements (though I've personally never noticed this)
• decreased rarity for Sacrificial Ward
• hook respawn mechanic
• lightburn removal
• merciless killer being easier to get (QoL and not directly gameplay relevant, but it counts)

I was bored, so I went and actually looked at major patches to double check. This obviously not counting the gigantic list of killer buffs, updates, and reworks in that time period, or things that are more survivor nerfs like altering certain maps or perks that were too good at the time. Those are the actual weight of killer being improved, lots of basekit and perk buffs- though some of those bullet points are pretty impactful too.

Mostly I was just looking at the killer buffs.

Honestly, though, it's less than you'd think. Couple big things, stuff like the survivor HUD and the AFC system, but mostly it was either killer changes or neutral QoL changes.

I think most of the impactful survivor changes were perk buffs more than big basekit mechanics.

It's pretty reliable, there are only a couple maps where you really have to guess— and you also don't spawn in the middle of maps anymore (as much, at least, I think it's still happened to me once or twice), so there's even less chance of that happening.

There's some risk, but it's still a huge buff overall. One that I, personally, have been asking to get for years, so you can imagine I've been stoked.

Huntress got two extra hatchets and also a wind-up time decrease of 10%, which is pretty nice. Not as crazy as the PTB buffs, those were cracked, but still really solid for her.

You do whine, yes. Have been for a long time, with every inconvinience that killers get.

You also showed us that you only played 500 matches of surviviors in total, you definitely are killer main, who just wants to have easier time playing the killer.

You are always vocal about killer changes, overreacting and calling survivior easy role.

People like you are the worst to listen to really. You have no idea how is it to play the other side and just moan about changes.

Let the game evolve to a healthier state.

Also I believe the gen speeds cannot be increased, because they are the most boring thing in the game.
You can't force people to do more of the boring stuff, they will never want to do this. Especially in times where gen perks are very popular.
This would definitely be a bad change, so we need to think about something else.
