I agree that there is certainly something to be said about getting better when you play against people better than you. Having said that, playing games is how I unwind at the end of a long day, and while playing a 4v1 game can be challenging, it shouldn't be stressful. This is one of the reasons why queue times are so long for survivors, it's because more people would prefer to play survivor than killer. The matchmaking is so skewed that a good swf match can walk all over any killer, especially if you're newer to the game and don't have access to killers that have better anti-loop mechanics and map pressure.
In many ways dead by daylight is pure pay to win since the best perks are attached to DLC survivors and killers. And considering just how many killers are dependent on good perks and add-ons, it can make DBD a very frustrating experience for casual players, especially since there's no way to test out Killers they've never played with before without needing to get other players online for a custom match.
It's true that the game shouldn't be very stressful, but you need some stress as well to push yourself above the limit. It happens anytime when you want to get better and this situation can be seen to any other competitive game. The matchmaking currently is not very bad(in my region-East Asia) because every game I play I find them slightly challenging which should be the feeling as you go against killer/survivors similar to your level or slightly higher. There are Definitely more survivor players in game because its 4 vs 1. Also it is because SWF is the most prefered option when playing with friends and since you probably got the game recommended from your friends and will play with them, SWF is a popular choice than the killer. No matter how much they fix the matchmaking in any way Survivors will be more played, meaning there will more more experienced survivors and this will require more skills to play against them, as a killer(so playing killer will be always tougher)
It's also true that some pay-to-win factors such as exclusive dlc characters with perks are present, however skills are also really required in the game and sometimes, more than perks. I have met tons of SFW team with 4 Decisive Strike and Head On, still managed to secure 4k with trapper level 5 (recently prestiged) or with wraith level 1(had missions). I have also played Myers with full build with both red addons and 4 max level dlc exclusive perks, and sometimes haven't secure any kills because the survivors in that game played really well, with efficient looping and stealth, etc. So I would Not say it's 'Pure' pay to win game.
Shrines of Secret are also there where you can unlock many teachable perks including dlc exclusive ones, and I did get Bbq&Chilli and other such as Decisive strike before buying the respective characters, so I won't complain much (I only have 400 hours).
The Dlcs are also worth buying because their qualities are pretty good. The game company also gotta earn as well for providing these services and purchasing licenses so In my opinion It does worth spending some bucks and try out these characters/skins even you have their teachable perks.

I'm a level 12 killer and I'm constantly going up against purple and red rank survivors on PS4. It sucks. The developers said that the new MMR was supposed to go live in June, but considering just how many bugs are present with the new event, I wouldn't count on the new MMR anytime soon.
One of the things that makes playing killer so hard is having to compete with other players on a killer you've never played with before. I know that there are custom matches but you need other people to be online or in your party, and for those of us that don't have a big friends list from which the pull from, it would be nice if you could load up a custom match by yourself, or at least be able to turn on bots in a custom match. It would certainly encourage people to play more killers, and quite possibly shorten the wait time for survivors.
It happens. When I was rank 12 Killer, I too used to meet red rank survivors.
But you learn more when you go against good survivors. It will be a tough time for a while. I learned how to cut loops, pressure gens, etc. As a result:
Yes I did change my name to 'Behind you' after I started playing myers xD(you can check my old name in my steam profile)
And recently I have reached rank 1 Killer:
Yea the matchmaking in green-purple rank is pretty tough but will be a meaningful experience

the killer knocks the first player, goes and hooks him, and then stands right in front of that survivor for the entire duration of the entity being summoned, resulting in death. No one can save him because the killer is right there, not even blocking the unhook action, just not leaving a 10 ft radius of the hooked survivor. Not only is that basically a form of cheating to ensure they get a kill, but it also completely ruins the game. When in any scary movie have you seen a killer catch someone and then just sit and wait.... NEVER. Cuz the movie would suck, just like it makes the game suck.
No, that's why gen rush exists xD
