I just realized why some killers think killer so easy
They are playing on console. As seen in the figure below, at all points from ranks 1-10 the survival rate of PC survivors is higher. Looking at PS4, the survival rate is 10-13% lower on average. The difference is substantial at every rank. Xbox is similar but has a somewhat better survival rate. Only at a rank 2 the gap becomes small at 2.5%. There are 2 ranks where the gap is 6% and the rest of the ranks is 10%. Another thing these stats do not account for is that console players still have the killer as the host while PC killers are disadvantaged by dedicated servers.
Before anyone posts "I find killer easy to PC too", it doesn't matter. This thread is about the console killers.

That's a fair point. But those stats are kinda outdated by a long shot, a lot of changes have happened since those were released.
Like what? Name at least 4 that matter and explain why those things would cause a difference in survival rates between console and PC.
PS4 has dedicated servers, what are you talking about?
So now statistics matter all of a sudden?🤔 Guess we can all agree that killers need to get heavily nerfed IMMEDIATELY based on the kill rate statistics then!
No they think it’s easy because easily 50% or more of survivors at red rank belong in purple or lower. I know because I’m at rank 1-2 and I don’t belong there
If you are referring to how killers criticized these stats https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/106566/stats-november-2019, it was not that they did not matter. It was that they were misleading. The red rank stats only had the condition of there being a red rank killer, meaning there could have been something like 4 purple rank survivors and 1 red rank and it would have counted. This thread also taught me somthing new: console survivors survive far less. Those stats from November were a mix of PC and console, meaning killer stats were inflated. This could be by as much as 10% considering that is how much lower console survivors survival rate is.
At least Legion does...its tradition at this point.
Find it funny how surviviors survive less often on console compared to pc when the killer arguably has it worse when being forced to use a controller.
Red ranks is flooded with potatoes so the good survivors who is playing alone gets affected by their awful team mates causing the whole match to be a lost which in turn makes the killer thinks he's the best.
But when they encounter SWF which are the only group of players playing like their actual rank their ego gets kicked back to earth
Doesn't that somewhat apply to survivors too? I can imagine it may be significantly harder to do stuff as moonwalking/360 and other general jukes with the controller.
It was only enabled 1 week ago and Xbox still does not have it.
We still have it on PS4 and why are you using outdated stats to prove your point?
