PTB Recall - Was it really Killer outcry or was it actual dev data?

I mean if a survivor content creator loses they could still have looped well or saved their team so its interesting to watch. If a killer content creator just keeps losing its boring af to see and prob they have a dead channel, so on the entertaining aspect Id say there is a reason.

You always use the “2,000 win streak Blight”, which is like 5 people out of the millions of players, to represent the views entire killer player base. It’s incredibly divisive and it derails productive discussions about balance. You may be surprised to learn that most killer players, including streamers, actually play both killer and survivor roles and thus have a good understanding of when something is broken on one side or the other. Did you actually play as killer in the PTB to test for yourself how these changes affect the killer experience? Maybe consider listening to the full analysis and context from people who play both sides rather than immediately demonizing everyone who was against the changes as people who want to tunnel and slug to win 2,000 games in a row.

Just data based, biggets outrage that ended with one of hardest nerf for no reason in DBD history is skullmerchant nerf that was just because survivor main complained.

I think it’s more about people reaction. If they were actually counting on data, they would more likely to share with it to stop this rant and cool down the heat of discussion
I also noticed MMR doesn’t work on PTB. I barely had 4 matches out of 40 on this PTB where my skill matched with my teammates or opponent. Many killers or survivors dced just after first minutes of match because it was too fast - either 4 downs on 5 gens, or 3 gens done without any hook stages. So, maybe, the issue they don’t really have proper datas…
The main point the whole PTB from the start was created from people outcry as well, just from other side. It never was about some stats or objectiveness, it was an attempt to accomplish sentiment

Meh people always use "bully swf squad" to justify nerfing anything that benefits survivors, it's a small % of the playerbase but that doesn't stop you from bringing it up everytime
the guy with his 2000 win streak is not important, because you can take ANY other skilled Blight player and he probably wins 9/10 times without breaking a sweat.. a 2000 win streak is symbolic of a deeper balance issue, that shouldn't be possible at all

Killer content creators doesnt need to 4k but I agree with you, its either winning and streaks or some crazy wesker hugtechs, orbital snipes, snipes across the map with huntress or flicks with blight cliped togeather.
