Balancing killers
Tbh when it comes to balancing killers I kinda think that bhvr should listen more to killer mains as well they play the role more and hence have more knowledge about that specific killer, not game mechanics just killer mechanics.
When it comes to survivor the devs should listen more to survivor sided players as they play the role more.
"But what if you play both sides equally" then evaluate how much you know about both sides ,if you know more about a specific side your an x sided player.
This seems like common sense and sounds kinda stupid, but from looking at the forums it appears that survivors tend to have a little more control over killer balance than actual killer do, look at the calls to nerf nurse and now the calls to nerf spirit (and next it's gonna be every stealth killer apart from pig, I have a premonition) whereas many threads about gen speed/gen tapping go no where or get "shut down" because "just run x perks" .
And as a final note the mods do seem to be very down the middle on this surivor/killer spectrum which is great for moderating but why don't they put forward what they'd do with the game to balance it? It'd be interesting to hear their ideas on the matters of things like the match length, healing going on the decline in favour of the "gen rush meta" , the grab mechanic being unreliable unless you play spirit with prayer beads , a large majority of the perks going forgotten etc

But only if you play both sides you understand the problems both sides got. Playing one side and developing balance thoughts out of it is unhealthy for your understanding of the game.
Take everything someone says with a grain of salt. Killer/Survivor main, 50/50 player, anyone.
Good ideas are exactly like bad ideas. They can come from anywhere or anyone. So we shouldn't deny anyone from giving their opinion, but we should question those opinions and talk things out to sort out the good from the bad.
True.
