So after feeling like killer was way too easy for some weeks, the game settled and my games are pretty much survivor sided like before the patch (i have 3500h and i play mostly against survs with over 1500h), and here is why:
Prove Thyself is pretty much standard now, i see it in every game. Hyperfocus/ Stake Out combination is getting more and more common. Gens are getting even more focused now.
good survs play with good survs, not saying it's a 4man swf every game but they have each other in friendlist very often because solo is hell right now. They only want to play with reliable, good survs.
(good) survs learned how to use new dead hard and if they can get it to work consistently (win the mindgames on pallets and windows) it's even better than old DH
good items (BNP, insta heal, styptic, ranger medkit) are even more common now.
the only reliable tactic against good surv teams (tunneling someone out early) has been nerfed hard thanks to basekit BT, OTR and the likes. Which was good for solo players and low mmr players but it hurt the high mmr killers
the ones who can loop and have game sense are now solely at high mmr, the survs that were boosted by perks (old DH etc...) are lost in mid/low MMR
i'm not saying the experience of mid/low MMR survs are untrue. I play solo a lot and i have a lot of frustrating games. But it was clear that good survs will find a way to keep the old balance alive. Killer right now feels not much different than before. Not saying it's absolute hell, i still have more fun than playing solo surv, but it's also not like "dude killer has been buffed if you don't 4k EVERY game you're trash"

Nice post OP. I've been saying this for a while and anyone that plays killer regularly against non-potatos will attest to this. It's weird seeing all these posts about how insanely overpowered killer is after the patch because it only makes sense in like the baby ranks. They added 10 seconds to gens and they're flying faster than ever

in the last update changed nothing at high mmr and here is why Comment by Veinslay September 17, 2022

A solution to buffing high MMR killers without touching low MMR is adjust pallet distribution and generator times for high MMR SWFs but every time something like that is suggested people screech YOU CANT PUNISH PEOPLE FOR PLAYING WITH THEIR FRIENDS!!!!

in Explaining The Recently Released Escape/Kill-Rates Comment by Veinslay September 16, 2022

Map sucks. When I play killer, I 100% never chase at the main building and try to stranglehold a 3 or 4 gen. It's extremely fun gameplay when you go against a team where they slap a boon in the main building and then immediately run there as soon as they get chased off a gen. You are throwing if you chase in the main building if the outcome is still in the balance

in Hot take: I like Garden of Joy map Comment by Veinslay September 15, 2022

Can you please tighten the MMR range for matching high MMR players? I'm a mediocre survivor that plays solo queue to do survivor challenges and I'm getting matched with other solo queue newbs against killer main streamers with 5k+ hours that are playing for a living. The games are consistently ending fast with 5 gens up. No one gets any points and it's an abysmal gaming experience

Any buffs to solo q would also raise the escape rates of 2 SWF and 3 SWF groups. A better solution would be to raise the soft cap of SWFs, and calculate their MMR higher, to reduce SWF escape rate. The problem with SWFs is they aren’t being matched properly by MMR, because the MMR system is matching them as if they were solo q survivors.
If SWF escape rates could be lowered, then BHVR could make buffs to survivors that would help solo q without causing SWF escape rates to be even higher than they currently are.

Is it confirmed this is how the system works? It seems ridiculous to me that it makes no distinction between SWF and solo queue. The system should recognize a team is solo queue and give them a softer killer

Wait times for killers are pretty long. I don't think there's enough survivor players to keep the mmr tuned more finely. Wonder why that might be? Oh right, solo q is a bad game experience and no one wants to play it. Let alone 4 times the number of players who want to play killer.

I think it would be preferable to give those killers longer wait times if it means sparing low MMR solo queue gamers a guaranteed slaughter. The system needs to be designed to recognize solo queue lobbies and place them with softer killers making it a more fun experience for everyone where people can get more points. I had the most points in the game against One Pump Willie last night and I had 10k. 1 guy disconnected at his onryo mori. It was painful

in Solo queue is utterly intolerable. Comment by Veinslay September 14, 2022

I didn't read through this entire thread, but I just want to add my 2 cents lol

Solo queue is most horrible because of the broken matchmaking system in this game. I'm an 80% killer main and I'm definitely mediocre at survivor. I was playing solo last night trying to do the stun the killer 4 times challenge. It was actually awful. The matchmaking is just atrocious. I was getting paired with survivors way worse than me (and I'm no good) and we're playing against One Pump Willie and Ralph. It's an absolute joke. Dudes with 5k+ hours that play this game for a job are getting matched against newb solo squads and just destroying them. They seriously need to tighten back up the range that high MMR players can get matched with. I know I sound like Sluzzy, but this is the core of why solo queue is so miserable sometimes. It's not fun having discombobulated uncoordinated solos getting slaughtered with 5 gens remaining vs a guy that plays for a living. It's ridiculous

Does BHVR even ban for auto Dead Hard cheats? Seems like something they would just be like "well they COULD have done that legitimately. I'll allow that"

in dead hard is speedrunning its way back to the meta and it's scaring me shitless Comment by Veinslay September 14, 2022

So with Dead Hard before if you waited to bait it out they made the window/pallet but if you swung they Dead Harded then made the pallet or window. Now if you see them coming to a pallet if you wait out the Dead Hard, they drop the pallet on your face, but if you swing they Dead Hard and get a speed boost to another tile. Seems like it's actually stronger now lol

in dead hard is speedrunning its way back to the meta and it's scaring me shitless Comment by Veinslay September 14, 2022

I played against Sluzzy once. I was playing Trapper. His team was playing sweaty as hell on Gas Heaven, but I somehow managed to snowball into the finish for the 4k with a couple timely bear trap catches. I then beat him on the hook like a pinata and gave him the Trapper bags. It was glorious

in Thoughts on Prestige Ranks? Comment by Veinslay September 7, 2022

You can easily do 50 to 60 second gens solo multiple times a trial right now. Killers have very little ability to deal with that

in So when is BHVR going to accept that they overbuffed killers? Comment by Veinslay September 7, 2022

If I see a survivor with a toolbox, they're getting hard tunneled from the jump. Odds are they have on the complete bs BtL hyperfocus stakeout , so no anti tunnel perks. You wanna tunnel gens, I tunnel you

in National Tunneling Day Comment by Veinslay September 6, 2022

"Dredge" means lightly coating food with a dry ingredient, such as flour, cornmeal, or breadcrumbs. Often, you'll dredge foods before frying. Note: Many recipes call for food to be dredged, then dipped in a liquid (such as eggs or buttermilk) followed by a seasoned coating

Sure thing, I'll make one tonight after work. I'll play as Cybil. I'm on console and I'm confident it's not hard to do. If I'm wrong, I'll admit it but ScottJund and Otz have already shown videos of them solo completing gens in like 45 seconds so take from that what you will

in So another killer patch Comment by Veinslay September 6, 2022

I don't know if I would call it OP in its previous state, but it was certainly annoying as hell. Imagine getting DSed over and over just trying to get a measly 2.5% regression or even losing your Pop because youre stuck and can't move. Before DS was changed, sometimes taking a DS stun would straight up lose you the game, so imagine getting Blast Mined 3 or 4 times a game

in Where Is the blast mine revert? Comment by Veinslay September 6, 2022

Survivors can solo complete gens in under 50 seconds now what are you crying about lmao

in So another killer patch Comment by Veinslay September 6, 2022

Killer can't hold a 3-gen against CoH with 3+ players. I had this happen in a game against some sweats yesterday. They had a boon up in the main building of Garden of Joy with a 3-gen near the opposite corner. Everytime I hit someone and they would immediately run to the main building that would have been a game losing chase, so they just heal and come back. Most boring gameplay on Earth

in 3 gen strategy is unstoppable Comment by Veinslay September 6, 2022

Because boons are fun for survivors

in Why killer can't destroy totems? Comment by Veinslay September 6, 2022

My favorite is running Lethal and seeing 4 survivors all spawning on 4 different gens. Basically an auto loss unless they go down in 5 seconds in chase. I've ran Discordance before and had more than a few games where it didn't proc once until there was one gen left. High MMR sucks

in The real issue as to why gens fly in the early game Comment by Veinslay September 6, 2022

They should have made this perk do literally anything else. Waiting to hit a survivor because of Dead Hard is wildly unfun gameplay

in Dead Hard needs its full second back. Comment by Veinslay September 4, 2022

For me, Skilled Huntress on PS5. I'm at 34% currently with little to no farming. I try to farm at the exit gates if it's possible at the end, but most survivors are dicks and will dodge the hatchets even though they're thrown from a mile away and they're in no danger of not escaping.

This new escape RPD 20 times while opening the gates seems even more daunting

in Hardest Achievement For You? Comment by Veinslay September 3, 2022

Absolutely never unless they're an obvious baby. Survivors are way too toxic to ever regularly give hatch or exit gates to.

in Killers, how often do you free the last survivor? Comment by Veinslay September 3, 2022

I know it's a niche situation, but I did camp through a Reassurance in one of my recent killer games. I hooked someone and barely even left the room they were hooked in when they started trying to kobe. I knew someone was nearby so I turned right back around and they used 2 of their attempts and then their buddy proced Reassurance. I definitely waited that out. You want to do that, you're giving up a hook state

If it's a blatant hacker chances are you didn't get a response because they were already banned.

They're on Steam and I can see they don't have a game ban on record. It wasn't "blatant" like flying around all over the place, but it was a subtle speed hacker that made it blatant when they were the last one alive so they could get the hatch. There's no way you could look at the footage and think it's legit though, they gave themselves like a 10 second speed boost after getting hit.
