I am never touching Play As Survivor
I have had maybe 3 or 5 "fun" games as survivor since last month when I came back to DBD.
The rest were miserable,low reward,low playrate and,unsurprisingly,tunneling...
The game for survivor is not satisfying,sure as hell it isn't fun or compelling.
The human brain can't take more than 1 game of survivor per week,nay...per year!
It's the weakest point in the game right now and at this point they could replace the bonus BP playing as survivor with Auric or IS per game and I'd still not touch it anymore.
Fix it,rework it or remove that option as gameplay and replace the survivors with bots,atleast the killer community will be able to finally learn survivors don't have feelings
More so:
75% of the gameplay doesn't work or is bugged.
Just this day I pressed space on a pallet 3 times and even saw my character getting in position only for it to cancel and teleport me back from where I was.
I'm getting sucked back in hits while vaulting,I've been getting medium vaults when I've been running straight ahead towards a window.
And my favourite is how countless times I've been hit while I already vaulted a pallet or a window and I HAD control of my character only to get downed afterwards.
I haven't faced a 3 gen SK or Knight and I want to thank the Killer community for shunning away these gameplay styles,had I faced them I'd think I would have broken down.
More so:
The game lacks diversity,good thing we have diversity in survivors' background and looks because in terms of gameplay it is severely LACKING!
Items...bad and underwhelming...unless you LITERALLY put the best add ons on them.
Objectives...I won't even say anything,at this point I think even the developers aknoweldge we're sick and tired of these generators.
Perks...I have a lot of perks that do many great thing such as...uhhh...see aura of a generator if everyone's dead..
See the aura of a teammate,the aura of a hook...totem,but I forgot you must equip 10 different perks that do the same thing only for them to require you escalate Mt Everest to activate.
The rest of the perks that could have helped with a diversity in playstyle are now jokes...
The only viable playstyle right now is gen rushing...since 2019.
FUN!
The game's motto "Death is not an escape" is 100% true.
Not playing the game is an escape..
Rant over,you can roast and make fun of me now...

I'm going to ignore the majority of the rant considering I personnally think solo q is in a pretty good state rn, but all the issues you mentionned in your 1st "more so" sound like you have connection issues ngl, those thing do happen once in a while (when connection is bad the server has a tendency to favor the killer), but if it happens a lot I assume there's probably some kind of issue on your part.

I do not envy the absymal state of Solo Q.
If you aren't interested in Killer and do not have friends to play with, I would not recommend DBD.

"It's the weakest point in the game right now and at this point they could replace the bonus BP playing as survivor with Auric or IS per game and I'd still not touch it anymore."
You literally have no pressure in a SoloQ game. You have 3 other players to help in case you mess up. The majority of the challenges can easily be done. You get camped at least your team mates can escape. And honestly, trying to loop / escape without WoO or DH or other "meta" perks is the best experience one get can in this game.
Playing killer is a sweatfest. If you don't tunnel or camp you will be accused of doing so. My matches range from 3-4K to 1-2Ks. It is a horrible experience with survivors doing the same loops and barely engage. Gameplay is as simple as it can get and the "mindgame" the "experts" of this game claim is mostly non-existent as the terror radius itself can make you bad decisions and move in the wrong direction to be captured. Otherwise there is absolutely no point in committing to long chases.
Still, because of the changes done to DH the killer experience is much, much better.

I play survivor about 50% of the time and almost always as solo q. I’d say about 60% of my matches are fine (reasonably competent survivors, no DC’s, no extremely unfun killer like Legion or Pinhead) and I probably escape 30-40% of the time overall. If you’re escaping much more frequently than that in solo queue, then the game is balanced too much in favor of survivor. At least in my experience, solo q is about as good as it’s ever been and feels balanced in terms of escape frequency.
