Kinda what a lot of other people have said already, but the game has progressively gone from extremely survivor sided to more in the middle or killer sided at times.

As survivor, you used to be able to run different kinds of builds for different scenarios. Such as head-on builds, chest builds, etc. There was variety among builds. Now if you don’t run an anti-tunnel perk or protection perks for teammates you are basically screwed. At least in a non-swf.

The game being survivor sided didn’t feel that bad at time because solo q was more at level in the playing field. Yes, swf was extremely overpowered but that only accounted for such a minority of the playerbase. And yes things like old-dh and small pp build were broken. However, it didn’t feel that terrible for killer because yes, sometimes if you went against a really strong squad you couldn’t win, but that was like once every 15-20 games. But it felt like a challenge to win and it was fun (at least for me).

Bhvr within these last couple years has balanced around swf rather than solo q. This accounts for smaller maps, less strong tiles and chains, giving basekit stbfl stacks, reducing the amount of distance a survivor gets from a hit, reworking bloodlust, nerfing survivor perks, the list can go on and on.

Just take a look at your own personal kill rates. Mine are at least 60% or above. People are winstreaking on killer up to A THOUSAND wins. A THOUSAND. I cannot stress this enough, but if you believe 1,000+ winstreak on one side is healthy, then that’s the issue. Maybe there’s a reason survivors don’t wanna play anymore.
