Was the game intending to be survivor sided?
Based on the lore information we have, both the journals and the perk quotes, the entity and the mist favors the killers. They are the ones that satisfy their urges to kill, so it is logical that they are the favoring team. But in the latest situation the lore and the gameplay are opposite; the survivors in the lore are quoted to be scared, in pain and looking for a way out of the hell they are in. From gameplay perspective the survivors are more favored because of their ability to loop and because of certain key aspects of the game that make killers feel bullied (swf,flashlights,keys).
I'm not here to complain,but I ask both the devs and the readers; was the game intended to be survivor sided? Or the idea was more or less hide and seek, with one side having an advantage (killers). Let me know down below.

I think they want both sides to be equal and right now they've done a pretty good job.

From the data that the devs showed it seems that they are content with killers having ~65% kill rate so its slightly killer sided, but they failed to properly take into account/balance highly skilled swf. So you have killer mains looking at the top 10% survivors (highly skilled swf) confused at how this is fair, while the rest of the 90% survivor plebs are looking at killers confused at what they are talking about.

Top ranked survivors don't even escape more than 50% of the time.

Isn't that a good thing? You want the winrate to be around 50%.

Didn't know what side you stood on; which is why I asked.

Keep in ming that half those 65% killsrates invovle games with disconnects, people suiciding on first hook, survivors throwing the game, or messing around. Those stats don't tell anything about survivors who actually attempt to win.
