Solo queue as survivor is a nightmare!

Let me start by saying that I agree that a SWF team is almost impossible to play against as the killer, it is true that if played optimally survivors have the upper hand due to how the game mechanics work, but playing solo queue is completely different, playing solo queue is almost the exact opposite of ''playing optimally'' I'd even say that solo queue gives the killer the upper hand (not due to game mechanics but due to the community itself) theres like 10 different barriers you have to go trough to even get a fair match.

To start off you have to trust the matchmaking AI will pair you up with/against players of your same skill (which is often not the case since matchmaking sucks! I was going up against purple and sometimes even red ranked killers when I was barely rank 16 playing with 1 or 2 basic perks) I am rank 9 now for survivor and rank 13 killer.

You also have to trust that you will not get paired with a troll who will ruin the game from the start (I had lots of matches with troll team mates that will follow me to a generator just to blow it every time to lose progress on purpose) or with the rage quitter who disconnects as soon as he gets downed the very first time.

You also have to get paired with people who know what they are doing, most solo queue survivors don't cleanse totems and they usually don't give a hoot about how gens are distributed around the map, they do whatever gen they first come across and most of solo queue matches you end up getting 3 gen'd and makes it very hard to escape, especially if the team is down 1 or 2 survivors. At least 7 out of 10 games that I play have at least 1 of the people I mentioned and makes solo queue feel like it's a nightmare to play survivor.

I know there is probably nothing we can do about a bad team mate (hopefully they will learn the game and get better) but why can't we have harsher punishments for trolls and rage quitters?
