I can see why nobody wants to be killer.
If you were told that you were going into a game where the cards were stacked against you and the opposing team was coordinated and toxic you'd be a survivor main after that. I bet 10-1 ranked killers have saintly patience. All it takes is someone to just grief you or be toxic and you'll get tilted and then play poorly which will snowball into a bad time. Currently I can only log 5 matches in before my patience runs dry and I know I'll play poorly and get even more frustrated. With all the tech survivors can do to evade being hit or get injured or downed it's a wonder anyone plays killer at high level.

It's all about having a plan beforehand... as well as a backup. If you're going into a game at higher ranks without one, then you'll have a bad time.
Survivors usually have a plan, killers should have one of their own. Granted, a lot of them may not work... but you have to try.

The best way to win as a Killer is to have no plan. Just find Survivors and down them. It’s worked for me so far. I net 24k BP on average per game with no strategic plan. It’s really all about your hunting instincts and toxic perks.

That never really works at higher ranks. Most of them are more than willing to take advantage of you with their combined strategies, and it rarely turns out well for the killer.
But then, maybe running like a headless chicken after survivors works for you (with Spirit Fury/Enduring). Keep playing how you want to. But for most killers, you need an element of strategy to win.

Meanwhile you have survivors whining to have literally every Killer nerfed into the ground. The Paradox should destroy the universe.

Killer can be frustrating and difficult, for sure. It seems like a lot of people still enjoy playing it, though - at least in my region, killer queues generally take 5-10 minutes, while survivor queues at the same time of day are practically instantaneous.

I wish they would make the killers a lil more stronger. I mean, you have supernatural killers that are " suppose " to have the power role, but it seems reversed. Seems survivors have all the power(perk wise) , and the killer is always playing catch-up and either looses perks during game, or has to wait half the match to even utilize them. Coming from BOTH sides, killers need to be more terrifying and survivors SHOULD be afraid of them.

nobody wants to be surviver not killer

I can't plan around their perks if I can't see them, I can't do much if they all run item except equip a niche perk (that wouldn't help me win anyway) and the map is random but some can destroy your chances at killing like that damn farm.
their quick for killers cause most people want to survive since it's easy, for survivors it's slower since few want to be killer. I highly doubt those numbers since if it takes that long they wouldn't want to be toxic and risk their queue time being longer. Also you're a survivor so it makes sense why you'd say all that. Killer is horrible under the right circumstances since you can only capitalize on mistakes and if they make few if any mistakes you've lost and they have the ability to be toxic in ways a killer can't match. So no, no one wants to be killer.
I feel like they should be allowed to kill a survivor, if they're toxic it'll make em think twice and make the doors not open when the last survivor is alive and it'll make being killer funner.

Well, you should try making a plan they have to work around, not the other way around. I understand if people don't play the way I do though, since I play more strategically.

So you're just calling me a liar because the queues in your region are different, and because I prefer to play survivor so obviously I'm just making things up?
I'm... honestly speechless.

if not that then it's unverified speculation.

No more so than your own comment, and much less so than your accusations against me.

That's crazy, where I am killer queues are near instantaneous, but god forbid my mates and I find a game in less than 10 minutes of waiting.

Yeah, the queue times for different roles vary a lot based on platform and region, which is why different players report very different experiences with them. For example, I've heard that killer queues tend to be longer on PC, and survivor queues tend to be longer on consoles.
0 -
well your source might be a survivor main, cause I often wait 5+ minutes for queues and given the main issue is finding killers since from my experience the game dumps me in lobbies that are full of survivors rarely am I alone in a made lobby.

It's just something I've heard said in general, although some things have changed in the week since I wrote that comment. But as I also mentioned, it varies a lot according to region, so that could be why your experience has been different.

yeah playing games at high ranks is probably a soul crushing grind, the same perks the same outcome the same strats the same tech the same characters and you have to play the same killer with the same perks to stand a chance. Sounds like this game has horrible late game issues.
Not likely, I live in the east USA and places like NYC and Chicago are there 2 big cities.
0 -
Sure, but it's not a matter of population, it's a matter of proportions. And not everyone lives in the USA. I don't, for example. That's why I'm saying that your experience might be different to mine or to someone else's who might have much shorter queue times for one role and longer ones for the other.
