Solo survivor

I’ve suffered two months as solo survivor now (7 months total playing time). It is suffering, not fun. Got to gold 4 last month, silver 2 this month. It’s not fun. That is all. It’s not easy to play with friends, or a “squad” so I just get killed every match. I have played 800 hours. I survive maybe one in 25 matches. I frequently de-pip to tunnels, camps, others players DCing, or killers DC (no pip then, just a grade error message).


The game doesn’t feel fun in solo queue, so I think I will go play something else.


What feedback do I offer? Just this: people who play this game have a choice to make. They can be entirely evil, or they can be super nice, or any shade in between. There is no penalty for ultimate evil (in fact, you usually profit from it). There is no bonus for being nice (in fact, you are often penalized for it). There are a large subset of killers who are absolutely ruthless and tunnel/camp to good effect. There are a small subset of survivors who bully killers and escape with regularity (and boy are they toxic about it). For everyone else, they end the match and the night feeling worse than they did before playing. They are made to feel like they are powerless, without skill, and awful. It is not a healthy feeling, and does not contribute to a healthy community. Please consider that in future changes, that a vast majority of those who play end an evening feeling inadequate and depressed.
