They value survivor mains more...

Killers are already going against 4 survivors and the other survivors can easily tap the generator while you're in a chase to stop the regression, I am a survivor main but to me this is bs, like how much easier are you making it? And even if people that are new go against it? They have the choice to play on their own, why are they making it so easy to pip for survivors.

    Of course they do. Cocky entitled survivor mains buy more skins for their Kekdette/Meghead and more battle passes.

    easy.. most of survivors players are swf.. the main cash cow is swf and without swf this game will be looong time dead.. they know it well they cant admit it of course.. and dont bring here their broken statistics that only few percent are playing in 4 stack swf etc.. its bs and everyone knows it.. me as a killer Im constantly checking steam profiles and most of the games Im going against 3 or 4 stacks sadly..


    sad part is that even survivors are complaining aobut long que times becasue kilers feel and know this game is HEAVILY survivor sided due to mapi ssues and even patch notes how being written in survivor sided feel.. its just too much frustration for killer and reading notes like this adds even more frustration and middle finger to killers ... Im really sorry for new killer players due to really high learning curve.. this all just add fuel into fire and its sad. I still love this game but man.. so sad..


    but what I know right ? I might play civilisation as being sugested by dev right ?

    exactly problem is that in dbd best killers are mobile killers thats why billy, spirit, freddy are the best.. some killers just can cant keep up due to no gen pressure and with really bad map design of constant loops and really big maps its really hard to balance it ..


    and dont forget survivors are nothing but skins so you are balancing only their perks.

    as a killer you need to balance main killer power, his / her addons and perks which is triple more work, thats why some killers are S tier and some as clown, legion, are utterly worthless.

    dont get me wrong Im glad that they changed ruin finally, but they should come with some buffs for killers as well and help against genrushing, big broken maps, help new killers to have fun in a game thats a problem

    I mean, it takes 4 survivor players and only 1 killer player to fill a lobby. So if survivors are having more fun and a more enjoyable role, that should mean more matches. Ergo, a good change?

    Except for every 4 survivors there NEEDS to be 1 killer. Say there's currently 800 survivors / 150 killers at the moment (random numbers). That's 150 matches going on at any time with 200 survivors waiting for the next killer to pop up. More survivors won't cause any more matches to go on, and increase wait time for the rest of the 800 survivors. Taking out a single killer will cause 4 more survivors to have a wait.

    I know, but from where I'm looking the community is about 50/50. So I don't see a problem if some folks switch to get us to the 80% 20% ratio we need.

    It definitely isn't - Queue times for survivors in red ranks has a wait time at the moment (ie the people who play most). This would mean we're above the 80%. Meanwhile killers in the lower ranks have a longer wait - because survivors rank up so easily meaning they lose their opponents. Now we have matchmaking broadening so that someone in the green ranks can face people at rank 2 and incoming ranks being hidden in post-lobbies just to hide this fact.

    This becomes a never ending cycle: no new killers to add to the mix cause why play killer if you're going to have a long queue AND face people you don't have much of a chance to do decent against. Now you depip / safety pip and you're in the same place as before. "just do good" as you get nerfed constantly.
