Camping issues for solo players

So got chased at begining of match, 8k boldness points, looped Bubba for quite a while, literaly 0 gens done at least 4minutes past, 1 afk since begining, I go down and I got facecamped then I get unhooked after 2nd hook and he tunnels me and after 3 min chase he mories me, 4 gens left.... end of game I still have top points 8400 and he face camped literaly everyone after 25minutes of searching for a match....

Whats the ######### point of playing solo in this game if all its gonna be are face campers and dumb teamates that cant tell a big person in a yellow apron from a white wall right infront of them in stranger things lab.......

I dont mind dying or even being camped but can I at least do a gen first or do something else so I dont depip? this ######### ######### is abnoxius to play at this point 25minute waiting time just to be face camped.... if I had 3 friends then yey 3 people easy escape, this game definetely needs to nerf SWF and buff solo somehow cause this is horrible

  • Kindred can help a bit, not if someone is just afk though....

    Had kindred, didnt help at all since I was the first to go and u cant see him anymore if he stays still for 3sec he had a camping build, he facecamps till 2nd hook then goes around the corner...

    EDIT: Killer was rank 13, I was rank 8, others were rank 4 rank 9 and rank 17

    It’s pretty simple, don’t be the first one chased. You can’t get camped if you don’t go down.

    Even before his huge buff I always avoided Bubba like the plague because any down against him you were liable to get rev camped.

    And honestly, getting facecamped after a super long run is a reward in itself to me. That means you definitely won assuming your team doesn’t throw to get you.

    sorry, I don’t see a problem with the face camping. You should be upset with your team for not doing gens and letting you get face camped for no reason. they have more than enough time to do gens while you’re being face camped. I wouldn’t be upset at the killer in your position.

    I wouldnt normally be this mad I would just rage quit and go to bed but I'm trying to get to rank 1 for the achievement and unfortunately dont get to play often and its usually teamates just like this...

    I'm more mad at my team than the killer but still face camping and tunneling like that just pisses me off, he was bad too cause I managed to loop him for quite a while and I barely every played hawkins lab map

    We should at least secure a safety pip if we max out boldness...

    All you have to do to pip up easily as survivor is save people with borrowed time. Sprint burst and spine chill are some of the best perks in the game to avoid chases altogether.

    Just don’t do what I see 95% of survivors doing which is BT saving right in front of the killer; resulting in only a hook trade or the guy coming off the hook being tunneled.

    i feel you, I think the solution would be to remove bloodpoint caps so that game doesn’t feel wasted. That way if you get 8000 boldness points and still being chased and never have an opportunity to work on gens/etc, you’ll continue getting points. it’ll make our time more worth it in those situations. Bloodpoint caps are dumb IMO

    I played 3 matches yesterday and got 5 pips in total that's not really an issue as long as I'm; not found immediately, chased the whole time and then face camped... That's when it's impossible to even safety pip, it's a depip guaranteed.

    I'm gonna sleep it off, already not nearly as tilted but definitely have horrible solo experiences and just don't find the game nearly as fun..

    solo? play killer, problem solved.

  • Yeah, there is like a 50/50 chance you're going to get face camped by a bubba in lower ranks, and like a 25% chance in higher ranks.

    Like 80% chance after the last gen is done.


    I see this as a failure of team mates though, and the mori. Normally in solo queue most people take like DS or something, so in higher ranks they will just sit on gens until you are just about to die and then run in and get you off either with BT or you have DS or whatever; and they will hook the other person but lose you.

    They then hang on the hook and you all go do gens and such and repeat this until end game basically and then at least 3 people usually escape with decent BP.

    With potato teammates however it's usually just a lemmings bloodbath.

    If matchmaking worked properly, you should be paired with teammates of equal skill. Clearly, in a situation like that, you weren't. Hopefully the MMR system will fix that.

    If only there was a way to change solos so as to bring them up to the level of SWF. Like how they are now adding hook counters to the UI. Or when they blocked the killer's loadout in the endgame screen, thereby equalizing solos and SWF info on the killer. Orv them adding the obsession chase indicator.

    You know QOL changes like a totem counter, chase indicators for all survivors and making kindred base kit.

    But alas I guess not...

    Yeah I played a Bubba yesterday too, twice (same guy) who literally camped every hook. I still had fun even though he camped because the chases were fun (and my teammates were productive).

    What is really annoying is bad teammates. Just played against Huntress who 4K-ed at 4 gens, because teammates made bad decisions (sandbagged, urban evasion through entire map, going for saves and heals at the wrong time etc.). Even though the Huntress chased everyone and double hooked everyone, THAT game was really no fun. And it was really because of teammates.

    Bad teammates on top of being camped/tunnelled is what is really annoying.
