Why are games vastly harder recently?
Out of my past 20 matches, I've won maybe 6-8. Back to back to back 4 hooks 3 hooks 5 hooks, 4e 4e 4e. Infinite pallets, god window, god window. It genuinely shocks me that anyone that plays survivor is yelling to the high heavens that the game is killer sided. Are we playing the same game? There such an ungodly amount of resources that every chase is 2 gens gone. Even when I'm sick of playing and watch a streamer play, every single chase is 1-2 gens gone. Seriously, everything I see of this game the numbers don't add up; how can kill rates be 55-60% when 70% of matches seem to be 3-4e?
Did I suddenly reach the upper mmr threshold, where players are good enough to completely destroy with all the resources available, meanwhile the game is balanced around Meg Jr that runs into the killer? Like I'm seriously confused.

I suspect, its a combination of factors.
1) The game is horrible as a new survivor, so they quit. The game is horrible as a solo q survivor, so they quit or SWF up. The result is constant increasing average skill of the survivors that remain.
2) Many killers use highly effective but cheap mechanics to advance through the MMR probably faster than they would otherwise.
3) Power creep in recent killers makes all the old killers outclassed.
4) Everything a survivor could do has been nerfed, leaving the only real strategy to hammer down on generators.
This results in ever increasing match difficulty, especially acute with older killers.

pallet counts are just insanely high and get buffed every update

The casual survs all quit.

Oh hey another 4 4e's to the pile. I'm so sick of this. Praying this game dies. Every other asym horror died from empowering survivors and gutting killers and I hope this one goes with them.

All insights BHVR will adamantly deny.

I was playing earlier today (Freddy) and i had no issues thankfully. Only downside was the queue times, which i thought would improve after 2v8 but i guess not.

good - hopefully I will have consistently better solo queue teammates then.

Has been like this the whole time during 2v8. I have a chronic back problem that flared up for a couple of weeks so I was off work and played A LOT more than usual. I have a 50% escape rate and 55% kill rate the past 30 days from solo queue. All the idiots that quit the second they get downed, that run to the killer to be downed, that seem to hate actually playing the game but are too addicted to stop, have been playing 2v8 it seems.
If I play as survivor, all the matches are pretty close and anything from 2 or more survivors escape more often than not. Team mates seem to know what to do, they seem efficient and don't just hide all game. They seem at the very least to know the basics of running the killer whichever one it is and where to take them on the map when there are only 1 or 2 gens left and aren't scared to do gens injured when necessary.
When I play killer, I have to be careful what chases to take to avoid wasting any time unnecessarily, they all seem to know what tiles to loop on and when to run. You can bet your life the ones not being chased or unhooking are sat on gens. One or two kills happens more often than anything else. They feel like playing against a SWF even though they all joined the lobby separately.
With the way it's been the past few weeks, any of the stuff in the PTB going live would have made the game a complete joke.
No doubt now that 2v8 has finished, I suspect this will not be the case anymore and it'll be back to 3 and a bot vs 1 from 20 seconds in to half the matches.

I even had one game a week ago against a P70 Wraith on Midwich where the gens were all done and everyone escaped in 5:27! This was solo queue and very much not a SWF. The wraith was playing normally, so not sure what he must have thought he was playing against.
