Anyone else not having fun anymore in solo survivor?
Almost every single game now it's the same thing...
1) Facecamp, your team tries for the save and they die for it. Game lost
2) Facecamp, so you do gens, then when you finally power the exit gates you get hit by NOED.
I see now why people only play SWF and bring in toolboxes and all the powerful perks. The game is quickly becoming junk otherwise.
That's if your team makes it that far. Normally someone disconnects right at the start so it's basically a 3 vs 1 game.

I have been having a terrible time with solo survivor, but not because of face camping (completely). Like you said, there are so many disconnects lately. I don't know if this is a bug or if people are trying to depip but I played about 20 matches today and out of those almost half had dcs. This has been so freaking frustrating. There are some killers that let the remaining 3 at least pip but many don't (and shouldn't have to, it's not their fault). On top of that, the survivors I do play with are so desperate to do gens after the dc that many times they completely stop looking out for the killer. You add to that the survivors that let themselves die after they see the dc and you really have a recipe for a ######### day...
Another thing is that, all of a sudden, I've been having survivors sending me hate mail. One guy called me a scrub and a ######### player because he couldn't get into the hatch in time because I was still hooked. This guy was also the one that refused to heal any of the teammates and led the killer to us every time he was getting chased... So yes, I purposely stayed in struggle instead of giving him a chance, I want those points. I've been playing like I normally do, so why have I been getting so much hate mail lately (I've been consistently rank 1 or 2 for the last week so it's not because I'm in a higher ranking now)?
Another thing I've noticed is in the games with 4 players, killers have now decided to face camp the first survivor they hook then play normally after that. I don't mind that as much because I do gens but it's getting old. Good strategy though.1 -
Nah, I love playing solo. Even when I do play SWF it's typically only 1 other (very rare we go 4man).
It's awesome when you wreck a killer bad enough to get "Swf scum" hatemail while playing solo by managing to actually coordinate in those rare matches when you have decent teammates.
I actually prefer the lack of communication since the game isn't being hand fed to me. I don't know who the killer is until I hear a sound cue (Myers tier up, chainsaw, nurse screech, etc), I need to actually pay attention to my surroundings since I don't know where the killer is (unless I'm running empathy or they're chasing the obsession), etc.I'm probably the odd one out by preferring solo, even when the majority of the time I'll get matched with clueless teammates. It just seems much more fun even if it can be frustrating.
Rarely have issues getting facecamped though, maybe killers in my region are nicer

That also is a problem. On some nights - no exagerration - 3vs 1 makes up the majority of my games. Sometimes it loads that way but thr majority of the time its someone disconnecting in the first minute.jmaximo93 said:I have been having a terrible time with solo survivor, but not because of face camping (completely).

Yeah the killer plays normally after the first person has gone because its much easier that way. They don't need to camp anymore. It absolutely sucks for whoever is on the hook first though - and then this perpertuates the disconnect cycle as people dont see the point in staying in the game if they're not going to get a chance to get off the hook.1 -
For me, its not just the disconnecting and the camping that is real. Also the fact that i get matched a lot with 3 player SWF that literally see the random person as someone to farm and let die first. Even if i make it to the end of the match, they will just run out and let me die, even if i am at my first hook and killer not near me or them. They just dont care about the random.
I played the game for 3 hours yesterday and all I had was facecamping, 3team SWF or a lot of disconnects.
It was really depressing to me to the point that i was literally ready to never play it again.
Today i played some more and thank god there were also some matches that where actually not 1 of those and i had fun even. But most matches go now in a not so fun way for me that i even wonder if its worth my time anymore to play and just move on.1 -

If the facecamps or 3 vs 1 were the odd game here and there I could put up with it but some nights its pretty much every single game.3 -
For me it's more of a lack of variety. Hag on Groaning Storehouse has been one out of every three games for me. Go in, spend two minutes finding the hex totem, see it, shine flashlight and destroy seven traps, break totem, go to nearby generator, break trap, repair gen, go to hooked Survivor, break five traps, flashlight breaks, try crouching around to get past traps while fellow survivors run around like little children told they can have free candy, Hag finds me, get chased, downed, and hooked, team mates circle jerk until I die. Enter new lobby, Hag on Groaning Storehouse...
I just want some variety.

my only problem with playing solo survivor is, that i always get trash teammates (not always, but most of the time). like, rank 1 killer, 3 rank 1 survivors and me (rank 5) i was the only one who actualy played like a rank 1 person there... the killer gave up on chases asap, he hardly ever left the hook and never checked for the gens (except once when i was working on the last gen and he happened to be nearby). my 3 mates just all swarmed around the hook, trying to get that one guy off, resulting in them getting hooked over and over again. i ended up doing more than 3 gens on my own and then finally dying after opening that exit gate, (huntress got me right when i got it open, tbh, i let myself get hit and then went back on the lever instead of running away, so it actually was my decision to go down there) and my team just kept running around my hook ,killer kept staying always in LoS and when he actually went away, me mates just didnt do anything. i did get farmed though, and after my other mate sandbaged me, i died.
great round, but whats worse is, that almost every single one of my rounds ends up like this.
gotta love your team...1 -

Everytime I play solo survivor my teammates always kill me.
Yesterday I pointed desperately at the exit gate but that stupid meg didnt wanna leave so I died to the pig trap.....I am never "facecamped" because I dont play like a toxic shithead
I just wished they would make piping harder again, thats the main problem atm

I don’t like playing solo because I get stuck with 3 man SWF who either farm you or act like pricks and let you die on the hook. It’s mainly your teammates who get you killed no matter how good at surviving you may be. Most of the time I’ll only get camped if the killer doesn’t have a kill yet and the exit gates are powered, but a lot of survivors run Borrowed Time and bodyblock as the killer is chasing you to the exit gates so that’s not a very big deal.

But the killer finds someone quick, down then in like 20 seconds and then just sits on them all game. They don't even have the chance to be toxic. Toxic killers exist too.7 -
Maybe it's just me but that's the one time I don't mind them camping. If the exit gates are open it makes sense that they're going to guard their hook. There's nowhere else for them to go, and they know the survivors are only still in the game because they want the rescue.MegMain98 said:I don’t like playing solo because I get stuck with 3 man SWF who either farm you or act like pricks and let you die on the hook.

I kind if understand basement camps too. It's too powerful for the killer to let go. Also they're rare which helps, just the odd game here and there.
Its the standard hook facecamp right off the bat which drives me insane. There's no need for it.2 -
I only play solo and must be getting lucky where it's pretty rare to see a 'camping / facecamping' Killer. And like most of you I will not count the killer staying around a hook after the gates are powered as 'camping'. I'm on PC too so not sure if this is a console issue but again not seeing it. I haven't played much in the past week so unless it's something new happening...not seeing it.
The other thing is I haven't run into many SWF groups that farm me or leave me to die but maybe that's because I do what I can to save them too. Whether it's actually unhook, distract, or take a hit for them when they're hooked. They usually sacrifice themselves for me or protect me like they would anyone in their group on the way out.
Out of my 10 or so last matches I think there were 2 killers who decided to camp.
A Rank 2 Wraith and a Huntress who didn't kill anyone even though she camped the hooks.0 -
Not going into how swf will literally leave you hanging, a thing I have noticed in my games is gens will stop at 3 and everyone plays for the hatch. Don’t even count on the other survivor if it’s just down to you two because they want you to die more than the killer does.2

There is no face camping anymore. It simply doesn't exist.
Also, did it ever occur to people, that the killer camps, because he's losing the game? Because 3 gens got completed by the time he got his first hook? That he's playing defensively, because another chase like the last one will result in 4 escapes?
Nahh, people escape with 11k bloodpoints and still think it was a good game.3 -
95% of my games are alone, and I still have fun for the most part. I think my biggest issue is getting hook farmed, or waiting to be rescued after I entered phase two because someone is looping the killer right next to me. It can be frustrating, but I've sorta accepted that I'll have great games and terrible games.
Being solo doesn't always dictate my playthrough experience. Even if I go in with a 4 man SWF with the best items and coordination possible, the killer could easily choose to be a bitter sister and ruin the game for everyone. I understand your frustration, but I promise you'll eventually have suspenseful games and clutch escapes that make it all worthwhile. Bad games will always be a thing. It's just a matter of learning how to take your losses with grace.

There is plenty of people, and these people facecamp even when no gens are done.
But....its been a good night tonight. Strangely. Shame that these good nights seem so few. No real campers and only 2 games with a rage quit or someone who didn't load in.
Edit: Ok no sooner than I had typed that I got a game where Huntress caught Quentin like 40 seconds into the game and just stood there staring at him so he eventually just killed himself on the hook. Great game truly.

Well, funny game today, with a 3 swf team as well. they were all claudette bloody clothes with flashlights, so i say hey claud squad (i play her too without bloody clothes). Then once we are locked one of them replies toxic claudette squad. Yup, gonna be fun.
So in game i do a gen with someone, while obsession has his time with killer, pulling off all his dick moves. He gets downed, teammate swarm around and bully killer and safe him. Next one down, and then they want me too save (Killer was freddy). Freddy actually camped the guy with ds, but i just walk up and pull him off next to him. Get in dreamworld, but freddy doesnt do anything to me. Goes after same guy again, who is hooked again. I go in and save again. Still going after that guy. Meanwhile almost all gens done and the guy dies. Leaving me and two others. Gens are up, one of them being chased. I open the gate when the other one goes down too. I look at both of them lying there and just run out without even bother considering a save.
To me, if they wanna play toxic, fine, ill do that. But to them not killer..:) Cause i dont agree with this kind of behavior. Afterwards they namecalled me for being a pussy, while I actually walked away with most points...:) Most of them not even 10k. Guess its more rewarding to play non toxic...:P

Since face camping is gone, you could have just unhooked him.
The gen rush is strong. I mostly get into the struggle phase, because survivors prefer to do gens.
Who's to blame? I bet the killer...1 -

Why does this never happen to me though? Explain that
Also camping isnt toxic btw, camping is a strategy (legit one). Toxic would be for example hitting a survivor on hook, mori canceling or sth like that0 -
I'm definitely having less fun. I'm not sure what it is, maybe a combination of all the changes to the game, i've been in a lot of boring or lopsided matches lately. Its also possible i'm burnt out on the game too.. maybe time for a break

I perform better when i solo because i am alot more focused and less altruistic. Typically if i SWF i die alot more because i am not as aware of my surrounding since i am usually talking alot with my friends about unrelated things. I also end up hook diving more to save them. That is just be personally. I prefer the game solo because its just a better experience.

Yay. Just got purposefully farmed by a Claudette. As always.
They really need to put a stop to this #########. It's toxic behaviour and the Claudettes do it on purpose.1 -
Yeah. It's a dead content game due to killers having way too much power over survivors. The killers are generally bad at the game, so they come on Twitter, forums, Reddit etc. and complain about the killers not being up to their standards.5

Because in my experience, and in the experience of many others - the vast majority of Claudettes play like this. They are often selfish people who farm others and hide at the edge of the map for the hatch. They are always the first to leave the gens. They spend 10 minutes running around looting every chest in the game. They often try to lead the killer to other people to save themselves. In some cases rhey even purposefully bodyblock.Poweas said:@The_Crusader said:

You might not be but it doesn't change the fact that many others are.
I mean she has that rep as being the toxic character for a reason. Squadettes exist for a reason. Also the fact that she's known as the hardest character to find goes towards their intentions of being stealthy and leaving gens to hide for the hatch.3 -

It's amazing how we all have such different experiences. I rotate, Nea, Feng, and Claudette (claudie mostly because she gets a bad rep and I want to play her differently;not immersed,team player) I find that Jakes and Neas are some of the worse teammates in my experience. Neas are the ones that usually blow up gens for me and urbanly evade away while the killer comes when I'm trying to finish up, also leads killers to me when I'm doing gens, or stands infront of pallets that I can't throw down. I also find that most hatch campers are Jakes and Neas in my games. I've had run ins with numerous Jakes that would do gens while you're on the hook even though you're the last two players, pop the gen, killer finds Jake and you never get off the hook. I get farmed a lot by Megs, who use sprint burst after they get me off the hook and run away when the killer comes for me even though they have full health. What I mean to say is that we all have skin types that we associate with bad players, but it doesn't make it true for everyone. Also, I'm not aware of Claudette being any more toxic than any other player, immersive, yes, but then she meg, and dwight are the most played so I'm guess they get around to having the most stereotypes.

You wrote survivors wrong.Parity said:Yeah. It's a dead content game due to killers having way too much power over survivors. The killers are generally bad at the game, so they come on Twitter, forums, Reddit etc. and complain about the killers not being up to their standards.1 -
Don't gen rush.WhateverIGuess said:It's a mixed feeling. I have fun and really enjoyable matches but I also have terrible matches that just make me want to quit the game and calm down.
Solo games: (60% of the time)
1) Dead by Teammates, just plain bad teammates who crouch all game and refuse to do any gens. Mates get downed within 10 seconds of the chase, always have to save them.
2) Actually get a good team but this time the killer is a God Nurse with NOED.
Q: Which game was more fun?
A: That's right. Both were bad.
NOED only affects gen rushers.
Also, if it would have been a God nurse, then you wouldn't have reached the gate powered phase.
I'm playing solo all the time, because my friends got burned out.
I don't get the point if "good game when I survive" and "bad game when I die".
I escaped with 13k points, Black pip = good game?
I died with 22k points, piped = bad game?3 -
Getting a decent game is good regardless of whether you win or die.
Losing and black pipping because your team got wiped out in record time due to running straight at the killer for instant unhooks = bad game. Or when they unhook you right in front of the killer so the killer will tunnel you and leave them alone = bad game.
I can understand people being poor at the game, they can't help that. However running behind the killer thinking they don't realize you're there and then pulling someone off the hook 2 seconds later thinking the killer won't just turn around and down them again is the kind of stupidity or blatant toxicity I can't deal with.
This whole idea of noble killers doesn't exist either. As much as they pretend online they punish survivors who do this in the game I've never seen one not take advantage of an easy kill.1 -
That's why you gotta run kindred when playing solo, allows your teammates to work efficiently if you are hooked.The_Crusader said:Almost every single game now it's the same thing...

2) Facecamp, so you do gens, then when you finally power the exit gates you get hit by NOED.

That's if your team makes it that far. Normally someone disconnects right at the start so it's basically a 3 vs 1 game.
Since noed and ruin are a common thing and cannot trust other players to cleanse the dull totems i usually run this when playing solo:
Kindred, Open handed, Bond, Small game.
I'm quite succesful with this build and i dont need SC because i can see teammates from far with bond + open handed, open handed also works with kindred and reveals killer's aura in a 16 meter radius instead of 8. Two days ago, for instance, i managed to escape against a tryhard hag running devour hope, ruin, noed and mori.
PS: swf is nice but i do love to play solo as well, sometimes voicecomms are a mess and you can't hear what's going on in the game.0 -

Since noed and ruin are a common thing and cannot trust other players to cleanse the dull totems i usually run this when playing solo:
Kindred, Open handed, Bond, Small game.
I'm quite succesful with this build and i dont need SC because i can see teammates from far with bond + open handed, open handed also works with kindred and reveals killer's aura in a 16 meter radius instead of 8. Two days ago, for instance, i managed to escape against a tryhard hag running devour hope, ruin, noed and mori.
PS: swf is nice but i do love to play solo as well, sometimes voicecomms are a mess and you can't hear what's going on in the game.
I've tried small game. I don't feel it's worth it. Totems are easy enough to see anyway. I find I can take out 3, assume the others might have got the last 2 but sadly not. Small game wouldn't really fix that. Especially on maps like swamp where totems are often at the fsr edges of the map.
That's an interesting build. I've been thinking about trying Bond but I need to unlock it first.
Right now I have...
-Exhaustion perk
- Alert (only for solo play) or sometimes We're gonna make it or botany
Urban Evasion
Pharmacy (for self-heal and fast healing teammates)
I switched to we're gonna make it after the healing changes. Thats when I was running self-care. I guess with pharmacy I don't need it as much thats why I tend to use Botany more of Borrowed time for SWF.
Alert is good but yeah I could switch that for Bond or Kindred. Its great for seeing which way the killer is heading after they break a pallet or.kick a generator. I do feel Kindred is important solo though. Game isn't as bad now that I've ranked up and players are better but I guess giving them more info would help them.0 -
It's true that small game isn't mandatory, but you can certainly find them faster with that perk, and time is a key factor in this game if u want to survive.
Here's an example of 4 matches (almost in a row, didnt take any screenshot when i got 2nd place lol)

There is no face camping anymore. It simply doesn't exist.Also, did it ever occur to people, that the killer camps, because he's losing the game? Because 3 gens got completed by the time he got his first hook? That he's playing defensively, because another chase like the last one will result in 4 escapes?
Nahh, people escape with 11k bloodpoints and still think it was a good game.
face camping has evolved into staying right next to the hook and tunneling the person if they are saved

Solo games: (60% of the time)
1) Dead by Teammates, just plain bad teammates who crouch all game and refuse to do any gens. Mates get downed within 10 seconds of the chase, always have to save them.
2) Actually get a good team but this time the killer is a God Nurse with NOED.
Q: Which game was more fun?
A: That's right. Both were bad.
Don't gen rush.
NOED only affects gen rushers.
Also, if it would have been a God nurse, then you wouldn't have reached the gate powered phase.I'm playing solo all the time, because my friends got burned out.
I don't get the point if "good game when I survive" and "bad game when I die".I escaped with 13k points, Black pip = good game?
I died with 22k points, piped = bad game?That doesn’t make sense. “Don’t gen rush.” Doing generators is the survivors ONLY objective. It’s like telling the killer “Don’t hook everybody too fast”. What else are survivors supposed to do? Enjoy the scenery of the swamp and wait for Mr. Leatherface to come their direction and sacrifice them? Again...generators are the SOLE objective for survivors. “Don’t gen rush.” Whatever you say.

You remind me of that streamer who claimed Freddy was face camping him.
You just made my day!
Face camping was standing in front of the hook, survivors couldn't unhook, because the press m1 to unhook prompt simply wouldn't appear.
This has been removed last year. Now a killer can't face camp anymore. It hasn't evolved or changed. It simply doesn't exist anymore.
But survivors like the name, and call everything face camping:
- killer stands 40 meters away to trigger MYC? Face camper!
- killer gets looped in a 40 meter radius? Face camper!!
- survivor leads the killer right back to the hook? Face camper!!!
It would be hilarious, if it wasn't so sad.0 -
By that logic, camping doesn't exist. Since the KILLER is doing his ONLY objective: KILLING!MegMain98 said:@Tsulan said:

Camping is a strategy to ensure a kill. There are other ways to kill. Camping is a viable strategy to ensure a kill. You can also slug, mori, or just sacrifice. Killing is the only thing killers have to do to win but there are MANY ways to kill.
Survivors have one thing to do and that is hold M1 and fix a generator. Don’t be so defensive over survivors gen rushing when fixing generators are the only thing they have to do.
Your logic makes no sense by telling survivors not to gen rush when they’ve got ONE objective to do. If a killer has to camp to ensure their kills then so be it, it is what it is.
Your gen rushing “logic” isn’t even hilarious, it’s just a pathetic attempt at making up for certain killers bad gameplay. No tea no shade 🤷🏼♂️

So no totems, chests, unhooks or heals?
This gets funnier by the minute.0 -
Obviously he has that included. Survivors obviously heal and unhook, they don't just ignore everyone for gens.Tsulan said:

This gets funnier by the minute.
But thats just something that comes as and when, it's not an objective like gens are.
Chests - a lot of survivors don't need them. No point looting them just for the sake of it.
Totems are the only one and that's only to avoid NOED. It can be awkward though running around the entire map solo just to count broken totems. It's more for SWF.1
