Biases ? Are they real ?
Curious to know if people think there is a bias towards Killers or Survivors ? I personally think all changes are done fairly and are needed to keep the game balanced and health.
I've heard a lot of my friends say Killers are constantly treated better and get more positive changes done to them, I think that they don't.
I believe both sides are treated well, and pretty balanced. Sometimes it feels as if people are just not happy and complain about the smallest things.
Opinions ?

Yes biases exist. But it is on the people playing to think that the Devs are for one side or the other. Do not listen to the people who screech, listen to those that give proper feedback.
I keep trying (and failing) to point out there is a time and place for feedback, and people need to cool down before screaming that the devs don't know what balance is.

The devs do bad updates to both.
Like destroying Legion for survivors fun.
Or nerfing exhaustion and healing speeds.

I think most changes are made with both sides in mind, though when big patches come around like this one which has almost exclusively Survivor oriented buffs, it's easy to understand why people think the devs have a bias towards one side or the other.

I think they are doing their best to balance things, some things are slighty annoying but nothing too out there in the sense of favourtisim the only thing that can be considered unfair is SWF however you don't get such matches too often
All in all I would say the devs aren't favouring any one side too much

I can never be 100% sure.
But things like bugs negatively affecting Killers taking way longer to fix, and the ######### Howling Grounds "balance" patch certainly don't help me think they're not biased.

It depends on what hapoens.
A patch that buffs killers more means you will see posts asking why survivors are always being nerfed, it's killer biased and the game will die soon.
A patch that buffs survivors more means you will see posts asking why killers are weak already why buff survivors the devs are survivor biased the game will die soon.
When it comes to balance there is no biased it's about trying get the stats to a 2 die 2 escape average, not all decisions are great by the devs but that doesn't say to me they are biased there would be no nerfs to either side just constant buffs for one.

At most I think the devs have a very different view of the game than their higher tier players and ironically don't understand some of the intricacies of high tier gameplay, making it a lot harder for them to balance around that.

There is always bias because human nature makes us that way. But I do think the Devs try hard to balance, and watching some Dev's personal twitch they seem to be fairly in the middle of the road.. especially when they talk about certain changes they made to balance.
I would say it certainly "feels" like there is bias as survivor bugs seem to get patched alot faster than killer bugs. (looking at you phantom breaths and footsteps)--- but I'm too lazy to pull up actual factual data on this.

I get that Legion mains are upset but Legion had it coming.

I've met many people (especially survivors) who are very paranoid and spread around theories like this :s. The only time I frowned my eyebrow is the time people were review bombing the game just because they didn't like something.

I'm just sick of hearing my survivor friends exaggerate about hatch being able to be closed again.
Acting like it will be a 4K every match and that killers will be unstoppable god kings. I completely disagree and think its still easily winnable.

They hate killers. There is no denying it. But survivors cry too much and they are scared they will leave the game. Killers though they don't give a crap we can just go play Civ 5 or something.

I don't believe the devs have a bias for one side or the other. We just get changes at times that are not completely thought out or are created with a certain playerbase/rank in mind. Perfect example is Healing taking longer so more players stopped wasting time healing and gen rushed harder this shortened games even more. Plague is based on needing her defiled pools player adjusted and just don't cleanse making her very weak at higher ranks.
