Why do the devs nerf Synergy between killer perks but not survivor perks?
Guy from another post: Didn't the team say in the post with the Ruin nerf that you guys are planning to eradicate ALL gen regression/slowdown perks for killers?
Dev responding: No, not at all. The idea is to make them all stand on their own without stacking to ridiculous amounts (e.g. Ruin and PGTW are both fine choices, but don't work together very well).
they do it to killers with slowdown perks however you can still stack second chance perks on all 4 survivors to create a very unfun situation

Survivors are where the money is at.
I used to enjoy playing killer now I try to avoid it it’s just to stressful
This is just a wild guess but:
The Developers are too scared of killers being too strong but ok with survivor's being too strong sense they are the majority of players and are ok with the majority ruining the fun of the minority.
That’s how you kill a game lol the killers will eventually get tired of it and just start leaving slowly over time until not many are left and finding matches take a long time ...oh wait
Actually, being that both sides are required to exist for an asymmetrical game to exist, that is untrue.
You need 4x the amount of survivors for every killer. You can party up with your friends on top of that. Survivors are where the money is.
Doesn't matter how many of x side you need, you still need both sides. What you said doesn't invalidate my point. Both sides must exist, and be happy, for there to be any "money". Business 101.
If you want to be technical, even, this game makes it's money from DLCs. Mostly. People mostly only buy the game when it's on a MASSIVE 80% off sale these days. Why do people buy the DLCs? I'll give you a hint - it's not for survivor perks. It's for the new killer.
@SloppyKnockout It does matter. Survivor has the larger playerbase. Yes, you need both sides, but you cater to the larger side IF it brings in more cash. In this case, it does. The added draw of being able to party up with your friends is just the cherry on top.
No, it does not matter. Both sides must exist for the game to exist. If killers didn't exist, survivors would have no game, money would be dunzo.
And even more, I'll quote this again:

@SloppyKnockout Yet Survivor is plagued by incredibly long wait timers. Why is it after a DLC drop, survivor wait times drop drastically? Because the killer sided population increased. Now, a month after SH, I'm back to seven plus minutes in survivor lobbies, and seconds as killer. Survivor holds the larger playerbase. Again, just look at the wait times. Sure, poor matchmaking attributes in part, I won't deny, yet that isn't all of it.
Wait times depend on time of day.
