I see why new players are more important (REAL TALK)
Obviously no one is going to play forever so idealy the devs would want as many new loyal players as possible. Yes, it does sometimes feel like us real veterans to the game are being forgotten. However lets be real... being a new player is wayyyyy harder than it used to be. Theres been time for us older players to learn a lot slower than the new players have. New players must learn 20 different killers to play against, over 100 perks, i believe like 30ish different maps (although you could subtract the badham variations). They probably won't know about the tutorial until way later into the game. Ive met many new players who had no idea they could of learned to hit skill checks in a tutorial. Later, the new players also have to learn looping or correct killer techinques. On top of all that they have to wait 20-45 mins to get a solo game. Oh... Don't forget how massive the grind still is even with perhaps 3k hours under your belt. Imagine starting at the beginning right now instead of when you did maybe a year or 2 ago.
The devs do realize this as a factor in the game having a long life-span. I just don't know if they really have worked on decreasing the grind for these players and better helping new players understand the game as of lately. I do realize the bloodweb changes helped and they did... I felt like it better benefitted me as a vertan than maybe for new players.
Thoughts?

New player queue times as survivor are that long?
Yes they can be. Sometimes they're better, but most times waiting on a game as a new player will take so long that their clothes go out of style ;)
