I’m starting to see why people like to play swf

I’ve always been a solo player and yeah you don’t always get the best teammates, but gee I didn’t know there were so many dense survivors. I myself am no good player and I can probably only loop a killer for a maximum of 1 minute, but I never make hilariously stupid decisions like half of these people. At least when you play in a swf with or without comms you can at least rely on them, so to all the swf I’ve faced I see why you do it.

    Solo Q is just dogshit.

    Solo q is too unreliable. Killer feels a bit more reliable to me, and swf I can rely on my mates doing gens and bringing good perks lol. It's amazing how many solos, even at red ranks, can't manage both of these simple things.

    It's an unfortunate truth that randoms have the unwritten rule to screw you over each match. You'll either watch their aura crouch nearby despite the killer being at the oppisite end of the map, or they'll beeline for you with the killer in tow. I love playing Solo. It never fails to amuse me :)

    SoloQ is usually the worst when you're paired with a 3-man swf. One them dies with 1 gen left and the other two key out through the hatch, without any attempt to let you know what they're planning. So then it's just you and a killer who seems really pissed off for some reason. Gg

    Solo is the worst. I'll just go play killer and deal with that stress.

    If I cant swf I might as well kill em, lol.

    But now I need to be sure my teammates are competent and objective minded.

    Killers don't hate the swf, they're the only ones making this game competitive for us. If it was singles all the time kill rate would be 95%. Games too ez!

    Ranks are boosted right now. With the reset changes it feels like anyone can make it to red ranks.

    You are right though it is completely understandable why people stick to swf only. Doesn’t help when killers complain about swf but go full tryhard, toxic and campy on solos then wonder why they only play with their squad after that.

    Solo is a pain, If Kindred was base kit it'd solve a big chunk of the problem but sadly don't see that happening.
