There needs to be in-game skill counters/checkmarks/WHATEVER for survivors
This game is destroying my ability to maintain proper composure.
Game after game, I get solo queue teammates that refuse to do gens, kill themselves on hook, actively refuse to participate, or behave like the killer's terror radius is literally confirmation that they are about to cease existing if they don't immediately vacate the area.
I have played for a long time, I believe I have pretty decent game sense. I occasionally screw up like anyone else but I know how to play, how to loop, how to know when to bide time, etc, yet I keep getting lumped in with people that sit in the corner of the map counting their legs.
I have had to try build after build to either help my teammates or focus on my own survivability as a whole, but there is only so much someone can do when they get shoved into matches that are HOPELESS from the get-go.
I am being pitted against Killers that run all Meta, Iri/high tier Addons, slugging, camping, returning to hook mid-chase while my own teammates play the game as though they've had their frontal lobe excavated.
It's impossibly bad. Because no matter how much I try, I can't make up for the massive debilitation that occurs with bad/inexperienced/malicious teammates.
"It's just a game" you might say, but games are meant to be fun and exciting. There is nothing fun about knowing within the first 30 seconds that the Lethal Pursuer Blight using Compound 33 and Blighted Crow with BBQ is stomping your entire team which now consists of a bot and only one other teammate cuz the first one he caught already sped up the sacrifice process and left the game.
Basically, I just want there to be in-game skill checkers for not just "surviving by escaping the exit gate" because there are PLENTY of games where that just is not physically possible, and you get dumped lower and lower into the pits of hell where Sweaty Killers take full advantage and Squishy Survivors lurk in lockers.
Completing objectives, teamwork, evading the killer, stunning/prolonging chases, escaping chases, taking protection hits, rescuing and healing teammates, these all should factor in to your overall skill level, not just "Escape Thru Exit".
With this, you get paired with people that actually STICK IT OUT and MAYBE JUST MAYBE the game won't feel so horrid for solo queue. I'd rather the in-game timer take forever to pair me with teammates if it means I'll actually be put into a game with people that play the game and know what they're doing. Because right now, I feel like all these horrible matches that became utterly bereft of any chance for escape has left me stranded in the lowest, stinkiest of pits.
And the people who give up immediately, DC. or refuse to participate constantly should be put into games with each other until a hidden counter shows they're "redeemed" by actively participating in any way other than a tantrum.
TL;DR: Solo Queue feels like Hell and the game punishes people for their teammates not participating. There should be additional "checkmarks" to showcase skill in individuals as well as teamwork.

So in short, make the MMR count more than just escapes.
Fair point. Low MMR solo Q is a nightmare, and the lower you get, the harder it is to get out of it.
I support this suggestion.

Yeah you summed it up pretty well, thank you. I also believe Killers should have similar skill expression and whatnot, it's just excessively noticeable for solo queue (To me).
