There should have been a Killer buff to match the Survivor HUD changes

It does not appear much consideration was put into the effect on Killers. Did they consider the incredible coordination that all Survivors now have? A couple of examples.

  • Knowing another Survivor is in chase means you can work on gens mostly carefree, along with going for saves, opening exit gates, etc
  • Exit gates are now open immediately as Survivors not working on the final gen know to head to the gates
  • Saves can now be coordinated. If you see 2 teammates on gens and you are not, you go for the save. I have seen this played out consistently as a solo Survivor

Killers need a buff and fast. I am genuinely concerned this will crater the Killer population. I'm sure some will not even think of the HUD changes. They will just see gens flying, tbags at the gates, and decide to stop playing Killer.

    Well we are now in the "monitoring phase" were the devs have to "observe" the influence their qol change has on the game and only then make further adjustments.

    The problem, in the past this phase could be anything from 2 to 12+ months.

    Or 6 years

    Q times are almost as bad as they used to be, like I get that the survivor hud changes needed to happen, but games are taking ages to find lobbies again. They really need to do something at the very minimum.

    This, although the timeframe for the next changes is worrisome.

    Others have pointed out that the changes need to be monitored before any buffs can meaningfully come, but I'd personally like to point out that absolutely nothing on your list is new or caused by these new HUD elements, survivors have been able to do that consistently and smoothly since the ability to form lobbies with your friends was added.

    Now, some players may now be able to join in who wouldn't have before, if they're smart enough to pay attention, but that's still not new. This isn't going to cause new problems for killer, even if it cuts down on how many horrendously unorganised teams you face.
