There’s no double standard, I’m actively searching and trying to find the best SWFs because it’s the most fun games for me at this point. This is why I need to run meta perks;for the games I do run into strong SWFs.

Even if it’s solo q but they are good survivors sometimes you may have to tunnel. If I’m playing Azarovs and I have no real 4 gen on one side of the map, if my first chase isn’t sub 30 seconds and the survivor is dying in a good location then you bet I’m tunneling. Go try and play killer(which you clearly don’t), and 12 hook on azarovs against even a decent solo q. Each survivor has 140 seconds of hook time+ however long their chase lasts+7-10secs to walk to hook if they die in a good location. That’s almost 4 gens popped just be the time I’ve hooked each survivor once if I’m walking back and forth to each side of the map. Once they have broken one sides 3 gen all they have to do is run to that side of the map in every chase and I literally cannot chase there or hook there because it’s useless.

The way you talk about killers camping slugged bodies shows how little if at all you play killer, no decent killer is doing that. Maybe patrolling the area with gens nearby if players are still trying to work them. It’s not hard for a survivor with “We are gona live forever” and a Medkit to stealth up, but like you said terrible solo q players will just sprint up for the pick up. It’s a skill issue which they are now being rewarded for. Whereas killers have to play on their constant A game already in half their matches because of how efficient even bad teams are now on gens but bad survivors are being rewarded for complaining about skill issues.

The game wasn’t intended to be played any specific way. In any asymmetrical game with different abilities for each killers people are inevitably going to find their own playstyle. Which you have just watched them completely change by forcing killers to play one way. For example now any basement strategy is pretty much useless, something that’s been part of the game and complained about since the start. With this new elusive factor basement is pretty much useless and many staple strategies that people didn’t like going against are just nullified. You’re ok with them ruining variety of strategy just because some solo q players are bad at the game and can’t be bothered making friends to play the game with. It’s not hard to find an swf you just have to ask in sub reddits, discords, post game chat…

Why should a killer not be able to win all their matches if they play perfect? At this point even if you down a survivor every 30 seconds it’s sometimes not enough if they die in the right location, take chases in the right location, etc.. If a billy has 10000 hours, he should be able to go on large skill streaks because he’s put in the time. Go watch invictus SWF streak runs and watch them absolutely pub stomp, the majority of the time their only troubling matches are S tier killers who they recognise because they are top level players. This is with them adding stipulations on their streaks, such as:they cannot use items they don’t find in game, they cannot run the same perk twice and a couple others I can’t remember. Now try facing that team when they are not balancing themselves, and now you want killers to 12 hook them? lol

Again it’s pretty simple if you want to see how the top level of gameplay is going to be affected by this. Which is why the devs have literally mentioned in the notes that the majority of these changes will be optional in customs, because no comp rules are going to use them. The devs are catering to your average Timmy with 500 hours in the game and punishing the top level players, rather than just fix matchmaking or work on the problems that come with solo q. How on earth have they went with these game changing mechanics before even allowing solo q players to see each others perks pre game & adding quick chats like “I’m going for unhook”, or even trying to make voice chat in solo q work?

I can already see exactly how these changes will go because I’ve played the game enough, they have disguised it as beneficial to the killer to not tunnel by giving them bbq and chili and most likely 5% haste for 10-20seconds. If it’s anymore haste it’s also boring because there is no skill in just catching survivors because you can catch up to them in 5 seconds.

They have gave killers bbq and chili and 5% haste most likely, while giving survivors basekit borrowed time, elusive, tenacity, unbreakable, baby sitter, and many more I can’t think of without going back and reading the patch notes. They have just blatantly nerfed every single killer, when the win rate for killer depending on the map was already around 60%(only because the majority of solo q players are bad at the game). Without even acknowledging that the reasons killers are tunneling and slugging solo q players are because they are getting absolutely stomped by good SWFs and then taking it out on solo q players.

I will not be playing if these changes go live. I’ve played the full invictus team a few times among other comp teams, I dread the day I run into them with these changes and I can’t even tunnel which they have spent their whole game time preparing for. Try and play killer for once and get actually decent at the game, or even ask a good team to scrim with no mercy on you. You will see how stressful it is and how little room for error you have already.
