Tell Me if This Sounds Familiar

I've always wondered something about this game - for some reason, it comes across as me getting paired up with 1000+ hour survivors who know everything about loops and jukes whenever I play killer, and yet when I play solo queue, I'm paired up with survivors who are...still learning some things, to put it nicely. I am aware confirmation bias is a thing (I swear, the Gen 5 Pokemon games are out to get me), so I'll add this: Every now and again the script is flipped, but this seems to be the hand I'm dealt. This isn't really to complain or anything, but instead asking for advice on what to do for solo queue.

What can I do to make solo queue bearable for me if this is what I have to contend with? Any suggestions for non-meta builds (since I don't have all them unlocked and I'd rather not use them if I can help it) or strategies I can apply to give me more of a fighting chance with not the best survivors out there?

P.S.: I do have only one head-canon explanation, and that's either A, matchmaking is just matchmaking, or B, the game thinks I can handle it since I've gotten as high as Rank 8 on killer before.

    To answer your question: Matchmaking IS busted. This is partly rooted in the fact that it´s so hard to determine skill in DBD.

    I suggest running Kindred (or Bond), it helped IMMENSELY in my solo adventures.

    I have a feeling teammates feel a little more pressured to act when it´s A) Obvious the Killer has left me on the hook and B) Everyone can see them clearly crouching in the corner doing nothing
