Please stop dcing and suiciding on hook...
I understand the game is not easy right now for solo players, specially not with the amount of killers that are stacking slowdowns and camping/tunneling in the majority of games, but please stop giving up so early.
Since the update came out I think 90% of my matches have had at least one person suicide/disconnect at 4/5 gens, and gens taking so long to repair it's impossible to escape in a 3v1.
My escape rate right now is at easily 15-20% and it sure is not because of "dead hard" since I didn't even use it before the update, but because most of my games end up in a 3v1 at 4/5 gens or everyone just slugged at the same time.
It's ok to not like these changes and how tedious doing gens is right now, but take that into account before loading up into a game and ruining the last bit of it for everyone else who is still trying their best.

TLDR (?)
Stop being ######### towards your other fellow survivors. That should sum it up.

Even before this patch, the number of games that I or my teammates have lost because someone not with me/us DC'ed off the bat, or quit on hook, was too high. In tandem, the number of games I might have lost before the patch that I won instead as killer because someone rage-quit because they were the first one down, or didn't like the killer, etc. was also surprisingly high for a game that, prior to this update, was definitely survivor-sided in nature more often than not.
In SO many games, either playing survivor OR killer, there's matches that feel like 3 v. 2 instead of 4 v. 1 because there's a survivor who is actively sabotaging their side by not playing the game normally. Survivors win games when they work as a TEAM (and I do play a decent bit of solo, and the most satisying escapes are when I'm able to coordinate good teamwork with randoms I'm not on comms with -- it CAN be done, even if it's not easy). When they don't, those games go south, and it's the lack of that team mentality that is the downfall of those particular matches as much as anything you'll find in this (or any other) update.

I don’t understand why Survivors that aren’t having fun want to spread that to everyone else. Even if the match is going pretty well one DC or hook suicide can make it turn into a lost cause for the four other players.
5 -
Then don't queue because most games are going to go badly.
9 -
If the killer is thana Legion, I'm not playing. Anything else, I agree. I refuse to play against thana Legion tho and will attempt Kobe's any time I see one.
So in short as the first response said..... no. Also, no but in Spanish.
9 -
I completley agree with this, but I feel there is some killers people just cannot be bothered with honestly and I can't blame them. Legions rework paired with these changes is the most insufferable thing I have experienced in this game. The person responsible for the legion rework I hope learns from this, because they've encouraged such an excruciating playstyle, all while making addons like legion pin punish solo queue instead of SWFs like it used to, and making it SUPER easy to chain hits because it lasts so long now, and this is coming from someone who loves my Robbie Rabbit Legion.

Agreed with you. If you don't want to play the game stop playing survivor or stop playing the game all together. Giving up at 4/5 gens isn't helping anyone. It isn't helping your teammates, and it sure isn't helping the game. You think it sending a message of "The game is unfun and I refuse to play it" but that isn't the message you sending the devs. All it says is you a spoiled lil brat who going to throw a temper tantrum because you not getting your way. Play the game and allow the devs to gather accurate data on the current state of the game or if you can't do that then just go play something else. Either way those two options show the devs alot more than you just dcing or killing yourself on hook.
3 -
But you should have respect for your teammates and stay in the game no matter what.
7 -
Why?
6 -
why not???
7 -
Why yes?
4 -
you know what I'm not gonna waste my time with you cause judging by your comments you don't seem to be taking this seriously.
7 -
Okay.
3 -
I’ve gotten more killer DCs honestly. It’s wild how what excuse you could up with losing as killer in this patch other than SWF
1 -
When I load into Thana Legion or Nurse/Blight with all slow downs, I am out.
When they correct the current anti-fun meta, I will stick it out. Not before.
Do not reply to me "I am part of the problem". I don't care.
14 -
I'm with you. Too often in life people (excuse the language) let other people, companies, governments, you name it, f*ck them in the ass and just give in. If there's a huge increase of DCs and suicides this will show dbd they have a problem on their hands & to fix it sooner than later, the more players that just give in aka "That's life" perpetuate that they're okay with being screwed over. Remember your dcing/suciding teammates arent screwing you over the company is..
6 -
It's funny how some of you claim to want better solo q, yet here I am, someone who mains solo q asking you people to stop ruining it even more and you refuse.
9 -
Both are screwing me over. Awful team mates and devs who don't play solo q enough.
1 -
Thank you. Finally someone who understands that people should not be pushovers .
Also, luck mechanic is still I game. I'm not suiciding, I'm trying my luck and then failing skillchecks.
4 -
Yup, I don't care.
Game tutorial says I can play as Altruistic or as selfish as I want.
As I said, when they correct the situation that you said yourself "is a really rough time" I will stick it out.
5 -
I read your posts the thousands of hour soloqer that regularly gets paired with 100 hour megs. Everybody in soloq is terrible except you, you blame blame blame. I agree with most of what you say about soloq however. People dcing/suiciding is just part of the game just like nerfed to the ground survivor & buffed killer is now just part of the game. If you're going to give in and adapt to the new update that includes adapting to more DCs/suicides.
3 -
If/when additional changes come out, these people will be stuck in MMR hell.
It will certainly be a struggle for them to get out.
1 -
DC/suiciding might be part of the game but it's still really ignorant. As it's been mentioned already, players shouldn't be playing survivor if they're gonna resort to that.
2 -
To be clear I don't condone it overall, but I understand now more than ever survivor frustrations.
EDIT: I also dont dc or suicide. i took it even further and stopped playing altogether at least until incentives are back because I have no incentive to play.

Ironic, isn't it?

First of all I never said in any of my posts that everyone else is terrible. I do get a lot of low hour players though. These past few days I have gotten at least 10+ people with just under 100 hours of playtime.
I don't know why you decided to get so defensive and passive aggressive just because I'm asking people to not dc and suicide. Maybe you're doing that yourself?
1 -
Already there and I dont dc or suicide. They will drag down everyone who happens to be in their games with them.
2 -
I'm not
How is it ignorant to use game mechanics? Luck offerings and Slippery Meat perk are part of the game. Also, I'm bad at hitting skill checks when not having fun.

It is. Not only ironic but pathetic as well.
2 -
Does that mean you're going to stop suiciding?

This thread really shows why soloq can't be better no matter what.
1 -
I don't though. Not even when I am being facecamped.
2 -
That's not what you've said before.
1 -
It can get better. They need to start making a different queue for people who dc and suicide on hook constantly. Make them play with each other so they can do that all they want.
1 -
I'm aware of what I have said before, and it was out of frustration, because reality is that I don't do it.
1 -
No it actually shows that soloq has been neglected for far too long and some of us are not going to sit back anymore, be quiet & take it.
4 -
I hope that's the truth.
Edit:
Wishful thinking. BHVR would only be so kind to start filtering out the crap once and for all.
1 -
Then like you said you can simply stop playing. If you don't enjoy the game, stop playing and show the devs the number of players dropping.
When you still play and dc/suicide on hook, it not only affects you, it affects everyone else in the match.
0 -
They should also make some sort of system that puts the inexperienced players with each other and more experienced players with each other, oh wait...lol
2 -
Just the other day I made a thread asking for dc penalties to be increased and for a system that detects people who constantly suicide on hook to get them penalties too, but the response was still the same, that we can't force players to stay in a game they dont like.
0 -
Know that im also with you, but how long have you been on here saying that soloq needs love and they've just nerfed it even more, obviously a different approach is needed, not saying my approach is any better, IDK but so far no approach has worked it seems.
0 -
I'm on here too much but there is definitely a chance I missed the thread.
The people with that 'Can't force anyone' mindset are probably the very same players suiciding and DCing. Rejoice in the fact that while they don't believe in common sense DC enforcement, they're definitely not having fun either.
0 -
Exactly. They should have a system where people are in fair matches and average 50% win rate. Oh, wait, LOL 😆
0 -
Here you go:
Sure they aren't enjoying the game either, and honestly I'm not having a good old time either, but suiciding/dcing just makes that not so great time into a even more miserable one for everyone else.
0 -
So I did what you said and 1 gen got done. Not for me, the game is destroyed for average level survivors or lower, on solo queue. Running sb and ds but still tunneled off hook. Update did nothing to resolved this problem.
MMR is still broken, teamed up with weak survivors and getting killers that are clearly a lot better. I've started playing killer and you can tell how bad it is because I'm queuing 10 mins for a game as killer, no-one wants to play survivor.
2 -
I can't say what needs nerfed or buffed, I'm no expert, but I think I can say with 100% certainty that they changed too much at once & add too much too often.
1 -
No, survivor is extremely unfun/boring to play now.
