I kind of agree with the fact that this game is survivor sided. This game was not intended to be like this, but, for some reason, the killer side started to get nerfed, and the survivor side was just getting better and better. The first nerf I encountered was the new hit validation sistem... The current sistem in weird, because sometimes, blood shows on the screen, the hit sound is heard, and somehow it is not validated. After that, many good killers and good killers addons were nerfed hard. Not big things, but important ones. One example is the ADS time for Deathslinger. It doesn't sound like a big deal, but it is. After that, boon perks got introduced in this game. Those are just insanely op. They are better perks than usual, that are tied to a boon totem. Killers also have this, they are called hex perks. Hex totems randomly spawn on the map and once a survivor destroys it, the perk and it's benefits are gone forever. On the other side, boon perks can be placed by a survivor, on any totem he/she wants. Boon totems can only be deactivated by the killer. After that, the survivor can just apply it again to the same totem, or a different one. Almost forgot to mention that a survivor can place multiple boon perks on a single totem. This small changes slowly made the game survivor sided.
I have done some tests with my friends group. We all play dbd and are on diferent levels. Some are survivors mains, some are killer mains, some are noobs, some pros. 14 people in total. After some disscutions, we came to some conclussions. Regardless of players skill, pros vs pros or noobs vs noobs, somehow survivors are at a slight advantage. My friend with 2000 hours in the game, hopped into a match as killer. He is a very experienced player, with sharp game-sense. He tried his best against a team of survivors with the same rank as him, had some amazing moves, only a good player is cappable of doing, but still somehow only got one of the 4 survivors, and he got it in end-game.
So, playing as killer, regardless of skill, is harder than playing as survivor, and i don't think that anyone can contradict this fact.
Other details that advantage survivors:
The ability of doing things faster than killer
- the killer damages a generator in 3 seconds, a survivor can stop the regression in a milisecond.
- a survivor always can vault a window faster than the killer.
- it takes only a second to put a pallet down, and the killer get's stunned for 2 seconds, has to break the pallet for an aditional 3 seconds and he loses his small speed-boost called bloodlust while doing so...
Survivors can intensionaly use some mechanics in the game at their advantage. For example, the end-game is only triggered when a survivor opens the exit gate. A survivor can open the exit game for 99% and then just wait. The second the killer is there, the survivor can open the gate in a milisecond, then leave.
There are a lot more reasons this game became survivor sided, but i don't have enough time to write them all...
As an advice to people that want to buy this game: Only buy Dead By Daylight if you want to play as survivor and have fun, or play as killer to have a hard time and get some small rewards.
