Which side is easier for you?
Keep in mind this is based on your experience and not how things go for most people.
I have an easier time as killer. (Rank 9 survivor and Rank 8 killer.)

I find survivor easier.
I'm low rank.

Rank 1 killer, rank 7-6 survivor.
I have an easier time playing survivor. If I want to win as killer I have to play competitive and I like to be competitive but after a while I get tired and just switch to survivor to get a chill time.

rank 1 killer and survivor. i put them the same unless i get into a group with survivors that know what theyre doing. even then, you get a good killer with a mori and it can go either way depending on rng.
its more frustrating than hard bc of the limitation of your role..... and q times.

Survivor. This side is less frustrating.

killer, don't have to rely on others to win

Definitely survivor. Not even remotely as stressful as killer. A little map knowledge goes a long way. Even when paired with some pretty gnarly goobers, can still usually get out without much of a problem. And even if I don't, I can generally laugh it off and get on with the next game. Getting slung around 4-fold on killer for a full game by those well-coordinated groups when ya' get 'em can build up on the psyche after a while. BP is meh in comparison, but matches come a whole helluva' lot quicker, so it tends to balance out a bit. If I need a nice, easy night of actual relaxed fun, I choose survivor every time.

Killer. If I make a mistake it's on me.
Playing survivor on your own is like nails on a chalkboard at times.

Killer - Rank 10/5

Killer. I rarely play Survivor, so I am flat-terriblr as one.

Though I play 98% survivor, KILLER. They have it easier, while on a laptop, I can;t move my screen and check my back around so I can properly loop ;.;

Playing survivor is like having a nice summer vacation. It's chill and relaxing.

Depends on what you would consider winning. In most games the killer kills on average 2 survivors. That's my average anyway and it seems to be the average of most games I play as a survivor. My odds of escaping the killer as a survivor are around 50%. The thing is though that most people who play killer tend to think that they "lose" if just one survivor escapes. Since killers tend to think that they need to kill all four to win that makes playing killer seem harder. Even though it's prpbably just as hard for all four survivors to escape as it is to kill all four.

I don't know, I find both sides equally challenging and rewarding in their own ways.
2 -
Killer. I get some ######### games, but the vast majority go well.
I enjoy survivor a lot more though.

Killer is fun for me but too stressful and Idk but I dont like to play survivor much though its really relaxing and u dont have to go tryhard to win
3 -
Playing both sides, maining Killer.
In my opinion Survivor is much more relaxing/easier most of the games.
3 -
killer: way to easy
survivor: as a solo survivor its kinda difficult since some ppl arent too good
2 -
I find killer easier, less room for error but I've had a ton more practice. Survivor for me is a struggle, I have fun either way though.
3 -
I play both, but killer is easier and more relaxed. You're the one in control, and aren't subject to bad teammates / camping or tunnelling killers

Survivor.
It's why i don't play them anymore.

I play 95% survivor and Killer is much easier for me. I rarely have a game where I get less than 2 kills. Probably 1 out of every 10 IF that. Majority of my games end in 3 or 4 kills with NO Ruin (except Trapper because it's a must).
Survivor, I have to actually put in some effort and have a team that isn't useless to survive.

SWF is the easiest for me, then killer, then solo survivor
2 -
I find Killer more fun but as for easier to play It's no doubt survivor. While I enjoy killer so much It does get pretty stressful sometimes where as when i play survivor I'm never stressed one bit.
Ultimately it'll depend on the game and your teammates so SWF would probably be the easiest but generally as a survivor if you're not running the killer or saving you're usually just holing M1 but when you play killer you have to micromanage so many different things like gens, hooks, totems as well as the survivors, Killers by default have so much more to do than survivors in terms of gameplay.

Survivor is easier for me. I have to do way less work and have way less stress. The biggest threat to my enjoyment as a survivor usually came from SWFs who wanted to be jerks. No matter who the killer is the game is usually just much easier to deal with since survivors aren't really forced to interact with the killer unless they just want to double pip. You could avoid the killer while doing gens and heals to get your single pip.

Survivor is less stressful. It doesn't mean that I am not trying my best, it is just that I don't need to rush anything. I can take my sweet ass time as a survivor.
I am pretty sure I have so much better win rate as a killer though.
So I don't know what is the true answer for me. Survivor or killer?
I will go with survivor because even though sometimes I win as a killer, the experience is really not pleasant at all.
