An Opinion On The Spread Of Players
The Killer might need to be less appealing to choose than the Survivor to some degree.
Because of the 4-1 lobbies.
Of course there's people who play both roles, and of course there's people who don't mind switching sides in a time where a side is lacking players.
But then there's also people who play 1 role, and there's people who just go play something else.
Survivors have SWF going for them, a big + to reel in more players.
Some players like Killer because it's closer to a single-player style, but i can imagine it's not more than those who enjoy playing SWF.
Now no, i'm not saying to make Killers torturous to play, hold your exaggerations.
Just wondering what you think.

Going by the long queue times for survivor and instant queue times for killer, you already got your wish.

This is true. Which is why I am baffled that some people think SWF was a mistake, or that SWF survivors should receive some penalty. Swf is very important for the game.
It's also the reason I really think the devs should take a look at camping and find a way to nerf it. And why I think the devs are not doing themselves a favor by barely doing anything about the balance gap between swf and solo survivors. Solos need to be brought up to a closer level to swf. They at least need kindred and a totem counter in their base kit, I feel like that alone would make such a huge difference. That would even mean they could more easily buff killers, those that need buffs.
This is also one of the main reasons why having overpowered killers is worse than having underpowered killers.

What platform are you on?

Too true -- try to play with friends, we spend more time queuing than playing. Go for a round of killer, I don't even get the time to equip add-ons before I'm in a lobby.

Alternatively, make survivor more appealing? More BP or something IDK.

If anything, killer needs more BP, considering the 4 to 1 spending ratio

Why do you suggest i want long queues?
0 -
There are more survivors waiting for lobbies than killers can fill. Which show a lack of killers playing.
This will change next week when everyone wants to try out Oni.

Well, that kinda goes hand in hand with what i said, but i know what you mean.
Also: Yes.

No i know that.
I mean i don't want people to wait.
That'd be dickish.

I'm just pointing out the preferred role seems to already be survivor.

Okay. π

Xbox seems to have a healthy balance of players who play both roles, I see a few names I recognise as killer and survivor quite often.
As for wait times I usually wait longer as survivor, killer is usually pretty quick.

Uhh what?
There are only 2 more survivors than there are killers. Killers get plenty of BP. I can get 1 million BP in a few hours playing killer with BBQ. It takes me like 2 days worth of playing survivor to get that.

Well as long as those longer wait times don't make you sigh, move one leg repeatedly or simply annoyed, then that's pretty okay.
In a perfect world, there would always be 4 times as many Survivors playing compared to Killers. π

Interesting. For me it has in general been the other way around. Not as bad though, but normally I have to wait 1 to 3 minutes as killer while I have to wait with survivor probably around 30 seconds. Depends on the time though. In the evening killer queue times are quick as well.

I wait about 15-20 minutes as Survivor and maybe 15 seconds as Killer.

The dves would need to buff WGLF to make it more appealing. Give it some other effect that is useful.

5-10 survivor que, 1 min max killer queue

WGLF is just fine.
They need to add more ways to get BP and give more BP in those games where you get camped or tunneled out of the game.
Also add more perks that increase BP earnings for survivors like Distressing does for Killers. Currently I think the only perk that's worth using that does this is PT.

Same here. SWF or solo takes about the same amount of time.

Same on PS4 for me.
Killer queues are literally instant; less than 5 seconds before the lobby is full unless the people who show up leave.
If I try to play Survivor I can wait anywhere from 8 to 30 minutes to get in a lobby, and then I usually get dodged if I'm Nea.
Now that I think about it, it's no wonder I prefer Killer.

No they don't. Getting points as killer is piss easy.
As for que times. I have the opposite. Survivor usually takes a few minutes. Killer takes at least 5.

Sorry for your Survivor-suffering. π«
Trust me, that's not what i want with my opinion at all.

2 or 3 months ago it was the opposite. It would take me easily 5 minutes or more to find killer games, where I could find solo survivor games instantly, and SWF games in about 2 minutes.
I blame the matchmaking. I know there are a lot of people playing this game.

True, i noticed a spike.
Not 5 minutes, but it was enough for me to comment a lot on here.

killer is less appealing because I'm on console and with the frames and sensitivity it's just hard
