regarding survivor skill level

im currently rank 15 on survivor and every time i play my teamates are utter garbage.

for example: we all spawn in the killer shack next to a gen, i work on the gen and the rest run into the basement or run away. like thats complete common sense!

i got chased for like 6 minutes straight and not a single gen popped!

people also die immediately in chase and always find a way to get tunneled or kill themselves on hook.


the opposite to this is killer:

im currently rank 9 on killer and when i play i often get SWF squads or really good players. how does this work?


Im hardly ever put with players at my skill level! Please explain how match marking works (i know its in a bad state) or maybe let me know if this gets better over time/ranking up!


:)

    "for example: we all spawn in the killer shack next to a gen, i work on the gen and the rest run into the basement or run away. like thats complete common sense!"

    I mostly agree with the others here, but I wanted to address this particular part because... well it really just shows that you have very little experience in the game. I'm not sure why you're upset about these survivors not, what, 4-manning a gen with you?

    Here's why: it's awful game sense. For two reasons:

    • One: If the killer finds one of you, he finds all of you, and then NOBODY's on a gen for however long. It's much better to be spread out and guarantee that the killer can only push one person off of a gen at a time.
    • Two: Gen progress is slowed down the more people that are on it. You get more bang for your buck if four people are on four gens, then if four people are on one gen, by a LOT.

    Just learning the game and how to play and pip (notice I didn't say survive) without depending on the other survivors will get you through most of your issue. Yes, if the stars align, and 3 people dc and the killer has every "I see you" perk in the game, slams the hatch shut, and camps the two doors which unfortunately spawned right next to each other, then yes, obviously, there's not a lot you can do. But at some point in learning the game, you realize that the goal isn't surviving; it's pipping. So, if circumstances fuck you over, then your goal changes from pipping to safety pipping. Hopefully next game goes better.

    You have a rather impressive victim mindset. If you don't know what that is, Google or YouTube it. You usually see it in League of Legends, hurts my soul a bit to see it in Dead By Daylight, not gonna lie. Good luck!

    On survivor the most teammates you get are either terrible or somewhat good but only know team play from fairy tales, sometimes you get good teammates and easily escape, like it happened to me a couple of days ago, I only got excellent teammates the whole evening and escaped 8 from my 9 games.

    On Killer there are days were you only get total bots and win all of your rounds, then there are days when you only get sweat squads and lose most of your rounds. When I was a green rank Killer I played against red ranks almost every match and lost almost all of them but after 1 - 2 weeks I reached Rank 1 and started to win against even super good players.

    There isn't really anything you can do against that until MMR comes out other than just play and try to improve as good as you can.

    People like to complain that they don't face people at their rank. But generally you do. You just lost whatever match you had.
