Kill Switch update: The issue affecting Baermar Uraz's Ugly Sweater has been fixed and the cosmetic has been reenabled in all queues with this update.

These survivors are eating out of the killer's hand

Solo queue, am I right? Only in DBD does on side have so much power and yet lets it all go to waste so consistently. It's like solos in Friday the 13th, but on steroids. They just don't wanna play, they don't wanna, they don't wanna do anything. And at some point you'd think that your overwhelming contribution to the team would count for something, and it just doesn't, because these teams are uncarryable.

Even against the weakest of killers: Trapper, Oni with no ability for the first half of the match, Clown, Deathslinger, Legion. These teammates make playing those killers seem easy as breathing. Against Nurse or Blight, sure, they can fall apart and I won't be too mad. But the super easy matches which become unwinnable due to their incompetence are the ones I can't stand. They're letting the killer give them the ring around when it should be the other way around!

You can't do enough to carry them. Even if your goal is just for you personally to get out, it won't happen. They will let you drown, even when you wouldn't do the same to them. Run a killer for 2, 3, 4, 5 gens? How about we do 0! Push a killer super far away from his 3-gen? Let's not capitalize on it at all! Make the killer break 5 pallets in a chase? No sweat off his back! Let's go to basement, let's hide, let's run to the corner of the map to heal. Let's do anything but be somewhat productive!

Either solos are gonna shape up, or the matchmaking system is, because I can't take much more of this. Can't play killer because the gens are done before you can even get going. Can't play survivor because your teammates don't know what their objective is. Where's the game? All I see is a bunch of graphics, animations, and game mechanics that have gone to waste.

    Solo queue in dbd is a very unique experience.

    According to a certain lead game designers definition of DBD skill, it sounds like you're in the right MMR 😆

    But in all seriousness, solo q MMR is a death spiral if you have a few bad games in a row. I had a thread before covering my issues with it.

    Solo queue is a horrendous experience. I'm about at the point where I'm only going to play 4 man SWF. SBMM as currently configured isn't doing a good job of making fun matches for solo players.

    I'm so sick of getting two baby teammates every freaking game. It's a consistent thing. I get one teammate with a clue and two teammates determined to make it a 4k. This isn't fun. I'd rather wait in queue for a good game.
