I think people are misguided about the patch
So as most anyone knows this is a very heated topic.
so let me go over issues survivors have.
-Solo is abysmal moreso than before
-killers still stack slowdown with these buffs
-mmr gives us potatoes
So as ive seen many killer state... dh was nerfed thats why people suck and games are bad, or well at high mmr the gens go by like they used to. oh give it a week. I NEVER ran dh for months and would last longer than damn near anyone in my games! why is that?! because i shouldnt be stuck with a bunch of people that DONT priortize gens, but because its based off escapes and im stuck with potatoes i get stuck at this mid ground where the killer loses the game while chasing me. the chase is NOT hard and the survivors who relied on deadhard still went down fast, its the good survivors that were the problem.
swf isnt complaining this patch because they arent affected they are just having a challenge, and also killer STILL isnt bad enough to have all slowdown. i play huntress with thana and pain res and corrupt, i lose corrupt value early and people heal against huntress and i cant just injure the whole team unless they are bad. but getting high mmr killer isnt hard so i have gens done but i still have good games and things havent changed.
do you see the pattern? the issue isnt the killer buff and its not gen speeds. its the slowdown on that and the fact it affects the majority of the playerbase not the rest, and to top that off with camping and tunneling being more common it makes everyone not wanna play which ruins the quality of games for everyone. and its been enough time to realize there IS an issue and you cant balance around high mmr because no matter what swf is coming out on top without major changes if they actually want to and good survivor randoms will do gens.
maybe at this point there is no fixing it, but instead of just insulting people telling them to get good and that your experience is fine, talk about it and realize different servers and different mmrs have different players and experiences
My experience has literally been bad killers who destroy my solo q team while not being able to catch me, so they give up on me or lose and majority they just snowball the bad players. not to mention slowdown stacks and camping and tunneling right off the bat. thats MY experience along with SOOOO many others. quit invalidating others experiences just because you are lucky.
Also not everyone wants to buy different characters to counter these playstyles. spending money or in game money which you want to save up shouldnt be the solution. running perks to counter an issue shouldnt be a solution. everytime i would run ds before i wouldnt be tunneled and i wouldnt be slugged with unbreakable, but as soon as i took them off id have it. I dont know why. or back with old spirit, just run iron will... like why waste a perk slot out of MY build because people refuse to see the problems that exist

It's not the patch that's causing the problems, but the horrible mmr system. If people got matched up with same caliber skill, this game would be more balanced than Robin falling on hive mines
All the slowdowns got nerfed and all of the remaining ones have clear and simple counterplay.
this patch brought worse mmr did it not?
ok cool, say that to the solo squads eh? tell them to tap every gen thats kicked to deal with overhcarge and COB and to just heal against thana when in reality that just waste more time anyways XD try again
I can't even tell my teammates, "Hey, I'm on Switch. Someone else has to tap the gen and do the Overcharge skill check." Console doesn't have chat. You think hovering over the globe or something would tell your teammates what platform you're on pre-match, but nope.
Yeah it did, that's why mmr is still the problem. Any large patch will make mmr mixed up but we can atleast get a stable consistent mmr at the end and beginning of a month
