3 Buffs to solo q - closer to swf

To truly give solo q what swf has and make them closer to equal:


  1. Totem counter
  2. Chase indicator for each player
  3. Quick chat - 


“Being chased”

“Being camped”

“Save me”

“Etc.”


Doesn’t boost swf, they already have this.


Any other ideas?


Of course, killers are going to need buffs to compensate.

    1 and 2 are fine. With quick chat you mean something similar like in CS, right? I dont like that very much.

    Instead of 3. some sort of base kindred that lasts for 10 seconds would be better.

    do you mean with quick chat actually typing out or picking pretyped text?

    I prefere pretyped text, it will fix the problem of multi language.

    1 & 2 are must have, I realy dont know why its not in the game yet

    I agree with 1 & 2 as others have said, but I don't think killers will need buffs to compensate. Balance is in a good place right now, but it is tilted towards the killer side on average as of the latest numbers. I don't think these changes will be impactful enough to impact that balance to the point where killers need buffs.

    Plus, these elements on the HUD would help killers too. They'd be able to anticipate if their NOED is going to proc or not, and they could even keep an eye on a remaining dull totem if they're worried about their NOED being removed early. Similarly, let's imagine you're playing against two Blendettes. With a chase indicator, now you know if you're chasing the one on death hook or the one you haven't seen all game.

    Only 3. because swf doesnt have 1. or 2. either.

    Yes: A totem counter would be a great idea for solos. Just add it to Small Game for SWF.

    No: I would rather have it just stay as an indicator for the obsession to be getting chased.

    Yes: It would be a nice addition. I just see an issue with people spamming the chat options.
