Why would people play survivor in this game ?
When as killer:
You get more fun perks.
You dont have to rely on 3 others.
You have devs attention when it comes to balance.
You get more blood points as killer, so your time spent in this game is more efficient.
You get more good perks.
I see little to no reason to play survivor unless its in a SWF in the state of the game right now.

Trust me there are some unreasonable Killer mains as well both sides have unreasonable people but the main reason you will see more unreasonable survivor mains is because A. it's easier to make bait threads as a survivor main because of the history of the game and current balance or B. For some reason a new player is talking about balance of the game and thinks killers are OP because they are new. It would be stereotypical to say that most survivor mains are unreasonable.
The reason you "might" see more survivor mains is the game need 4 times the number survivors to killer to function.
Survivors are the biggest and most important side from that fact, too bad that survivor mains are getting enough of this "balance", its not good.
Dude, I’m a survivor main and these changes aren’t that bad.
@Peanits explained several times why the killer queues are this bad.
That user is not a dev, cant know for sure yeah ?
Its guessing at best.
We will see this week who is correct.
That user is a community manager, who has access to all the devs' data and works directly with them. He might not personally code the game or create skins, but he does have access to all the info.
Also, even if the current hypothesis is proven wrong doesn't mean yours is right. That's a false dichotomy.
Peanits is a community manager not just and other user

I mean... he has Behavior as his profile picture...
There is a difference between a perk with absolutely no counters and quite strong and a perk with counters and can be strong. I've explained this before but MoM has no counters before the nerf apart from playing certain killers or "Hitting the survivor again" which isn't a counter because they still got their extra free health state.
If a killer is using NOED you have multiple options: Cleanse totems before it activates, if it does activate then look for the totem, or just leave the game when you have the gates open.
It may be lame, but I enjoy the simple thrill of being hunted, as was intended, solo and three other random people just trying to get out alive. The constant moaning by players just irritates me and detracts from the fun of the game, for me anyway.
...and I always play solo to make it authentic.
Killer is more interesting, but more difficult and frustrating as well. You can relax much better as survivor.
As for fun perks, survivors have at least one: Diversion. Best thing that happened to the game since Nurse.
What you need to be upset about is the Devs releasing content without any consideration for balance. If it was in its current state when released, you wouldn't be making this post.
Now if you are on about the fact that you bought the perk in essence and they balanced it later and its OP anymore, well that's just Pay to Win and no one likes that.
And its not just Survivor, Freddy was nerfed to freaking floor and its taken them this long to even try and fix it.
Also Survivor players make up 4 times more player base, assuming everyone played just 1 role, so I can tell you right now siding with Killer's constantly isn't good for business that's why GF is still weak (red ranks) and pretty much all other killers are not viable against good survivors.
@jeyers Queue times are back to normal, from what I hear.
True! Solo queue is pretty dismal now with the DCs, Suicides and Potato play of the survivors. But since we need 4 survivors to every killer just to play a game, keeping the survivors interested in playing should be a priority for behavior.
I actually dont like killing people. I cant stand it. The only killers i have fun with is trapper with padded claws and vommy mommy because i like her animations
I have like a thousand hours in the game playing solo survivor.
Survivor is tons of fun dude. Yeah, you're weaker than the killer. Yeah, you have to rely on your teammates. Yeah, the perks are pretty crappy compared to killer. You get nerfed left and right every patch. And you barely get any bloodpoints.
But it's just so much fun to run around hiding from the killer and trying to steal gens. Or doing dumbass builds and pulling it off. This game genre is awesome sauce, until a viable alternative comes up I won't be stopping this game anytime soon.
Noed is countered by cleansing totems, mom was countered by not hitting them, ds dont hook or pick them up. You see the difference and that's 2 perks unrelenting, stbfl, brutal and noed all actually were nerfed.
I'm pretty sure the #1 reason my missus plays survivor is so she can look at Jane's arse...
Maybe it's more difficult for you to play survivor... ?
Maybe you suck at surviving?
A fine reason if I've ever heard one.
@thrawn3054 Jane's figure is up there with potato team mates and telling them to just do a F&**ing generator as the most common things she talks about while playing.
I find it more fun because of the survival tension that builds compared to the hunting of a killer
agreed, solo survivor gameplay has become very frustrating and boring with all the new boosts killer get
Imagine evrsing a freddy with pop + ruin + swing chains + dying light + rope
I dont understand why devs like making a match as boring
yet survivor with constant nerfs.
what Im doing lately is jsut playing killer as I know most of my games are easy 4 kills and easy bloodpoint
@Mochan 100% agree
If players stopped playing as survivor you won't find a game to play as killer.
Lmao
