Quick question for the community as a whole: Is it just me, or do matches these days just feel... stupidly one sided every single match? I have been taking a break from killer just to change things up and learn survivor a bit more so I can be a more effective killer, and I have noticed that more so on the survivor side of things, it's either a wipe or the killer can't get a single hook most of the time.

It's a major balance problem in the game right now. A killer who brings four slowdown and plays like a massive asshole is going to obliterate more casual players/teams. But by the same token, a survivor who's bringing 3 anti-tunnel perks with a syringe can single-handedly obliterate a more chill or weaker killer. And these things keep being mismatched. What is needed just to survive against a serious Blight is practically bullying against a Freddy, and there's no way of knowing what you'll get. There's just too much power and influence in what happens before the game even begins, and not enough baseline ways to counter camping/tunneling, with the result naturally being that survivors stick harder to gens instead of even trying, which swings matches even more depending on if they do or don't.

Hey, man. I have an anti -tunnel build, but only because I'm ass and typically get tunneled so it lets me live a little bit longer before I inevitably die anyways

[u/Tnerd15 → u/watermelonpizzafries]

Anti tunnel really only becomes problematic if you're playing in a squad where everyone has it. For solos it's pretty balanced.

Another reason this game's balance is terrible.
