Do you feel that Survivors get preferential treatment over Killers, or vice-versa?

For the sake of balance, gameplay, bug fixing, and just general content improvement, do you feel one gets more attention than the other? Be civil if you disagree.

    Survivors get more attention

    While I would like to believe its a 50/50 split there are several factors at play.

    1: Survivors make up a larger portion of the player base and (like it or not) decisions will be slightly skewed towards them intentionally or not as a company needs to make money to survive and thrive no matter how much they love their players.

    2: Some issues may be an easier fix than others making it seem like BHVR is working on one side more than another.

    3: Its difficult to not harbor feeling one way or another when many people complain for 1 side or the other and many may be subject to seeing/finding "evidence" to support the mindset they share.

    I have to say from personal experience it seems many killer related problems take far longer to address (sounds are a great example) where I see survivor related problems getting fixed quickly (Tinker 2 no TR issue). Even though I want to stay neutral on the subject I have to say I have been pulled into the poll option I have chosen. I hope to be proven wrong moving forward but my mind has drifted to this position through observation.

    At the end of the day BHVR can do as they please and I can decide if I wish to give them my time as a player or not.

    Survivors. I don't think BHVR has a malicious intent, but survivor mains outnumber killer mains so their voices are always gonna be heard more.

    I'm voting for the secret option that's just a neutral "no", because I'm not sure what the point you're trying to make about cosmetics is there but I have my suspicions, and if I'm correct then I don't agree with that option either.

    It was merely a joke option.

    Ah, so there wasn't really a "no" option? My point stands, then - I still want to vote for the neutral "no" option that isn't there.

    I also vote no, I think the devs do what they think will bring the game closer to the impossible "balance."

    Sometimes killers take a hit, sometimes survivors do, sometimes something randomly gets buffed for no rational reason, like Borrowed Time.

    All in all I don't think they go in with the mentality of "how do we ######### over killers today?" or vice versa.

    No. It's either that way or the other sometimes. There's a time where killer get stuff and then there's also a time where surv do get stuff..

    So I will say both.

    Neither. Cosmetics, y'all.

    They get an equal amount of attention, it's just that killers get the short end of the stick.
