Playing survivor for the first time
So I've been playing this game for a pretty long time now and I have specifically mained killer majority of the time with little survivor experience. Recently I started playing survivor again soley for more fragment shards to complete the rift.
My experience was different than what I expected and I wanted to compare that to other people's experiences. Obviously I'm playing in the lower mmr bracket, but I was still surprised. Usually I'm hearing about how killers camp and tunnel 24/7 for the sake of winning or being toxic, but every match I played was anything but. Killers played fair enough, and while I did bring Off the Record, it was useless majority of the time because I was never tunneled.
The one consistent theme I did encounter however that stayed true to general experience was the more often than not useless teammates. Doing gens kind of just escapes them. Someone's getting chased and no one is on a gen, or they all get so preoccupied with someone hooked that the killer either snowballs or the game stalls at 4 gens left with everyone already on second hook. It's just weird.
I'm not good by any means with survivor, and it is more difficult than at first glance compared to the high mmr survivors I face as killer. It's just weird and I almost want to say people are exaggerating and blowing things out of proportion. Of course, a few games isn't enough to make that determination so I wanted to share the experience here. Hopefully without getting burned at the stake by survivor mains.

Personally, I rarely if ever focus my complaints on killer behavior. My survivor experience has always been negatively impacted by my teammates more than anything else.
A not-uncommon thing to hear about is "low MMR hell." Basically, you're in low MMR, and you get low MMR teammates, and so you die, and so you get lower MMR teammates, and so you die more… It's a vicious cycle all the way down to the bottom. Some players can get out of it on their own, but I think a lot of the ones who escape low MMR hell do so by playing in a 4-man SWF.
When I do get good teammates, I'm more likely to die trying to make sure they don't die because they're now my future spouse. And so, again, my MMR goes down.
Also, I will say, player experiences differ depending on region and MMR and time of day. So I'm sure there are survivors out there experiencing the things they say they're experiencing, I wouldn't say otherwise. But there are also people in your boat whose negative experiences center around teammates more than anything else.

honestly my complaints about the game now are just teammates being very bad at the game obviously I can understand some mistakes given I’m average mmr but it’s ridiculous sometimes lol

that's also my way of seeing matches. i'll rarely blame my opponent(s) and that's only if they play some unfair sh** or like when i can almost smell the stench of their sweat through my computer screen.
a camping killer? all 3 survivors hovering my hook without any intentions to trade are to blame. tunneling killer? that dull totem cleansing feng is to blame or all 3 teammates chasing after me are, attempting to take hits instead of doing gens. or the teammate that farms unhook instantly against said tunneling killer is.
while trying extra hard is unnecessary, people will try to win. losing because of all the same inexcusable mistakes teammates make is way more infuriating. like do you learn? can you pay a bit of attention at least? why is this survivor getting unhooked in 10 seconds on death hook?
