Maybe make a soloque only week or something. I don't know how I'm supposed to be testing this killer against SWFs who have a single player run me the entire match. It's match, after match, after match of this.

    I don't really see how they could do that without making the ptb useless for about half the survivor population, since groups of friends also want to try out playing against the new killer too. Not to mention the ptb usually does after a few days too when people get bored and just go back to live servers, so making a solo only ptb week wouldnt be that great of a solution.

    Keep in mind there is no mmr in the ptb. You're just matched with whomever. They aren't real games, so DC if you really want to since there are no penalties. You can test the killer with the new bots as well.

    And the same goes for pub matches.. if you're being run the entire game just drop the chase, try and find someone else. (Which, also, really isn't a swf problem - solo q people can loop too)

    I get run for 5 gens = must be evil swf.

    Ok.

    The ptb is for testing things. You're testing the killer against 'evil swf'.

    Here's what you do.

    Place a drone on the most easy to defend 3 gen possible.

    Do not leave the 3 gen.

    Any SWF you come across will literally throw themselves at you to die just to not deal with it anymore.

    Sounds like a problem with the killer design

    The PTB only lasts like a week or less. Pitting a killer against SWFs is part of the testing process. If the killer does poorly against SWF groups but stomps solo survivors, then that's a potential problem with the killer's design.

    In terms of getting run around by a single survivor for 5 gens, this killer doesn't really have anything to help her with chases. She's designed to surveil an area and hold a 3-gen.

    You're new to the killer, while they're established survivors. Of course they are gonna run circles around you. You haven't learned to play the new killer efficiently yet.
