I absolutely hate the solo experience

I play solo because of dumb stuff that happens but now a days solo queue is just a "oh look that survivor is hiding on a locker" and the "oh that other survivor is self caring in a corner"

I prefer solo queue because it's more immersive, but I understand your frustrations.

Unfortunately, the devs can't do anything about selfishness. Aside from rewarding good behavior.

But they can make other changes like better matchmaking, or buffing perks to help out solo survivors.

Solo survivors have one thing in common with killers. They both have to endure really unfun matches.

To be fair, they aren't required to save you. Just like the killer doesn't have to leave the hook or ignore the unhooked survivor. Freedom of choice is a helluva drug.

Well least you didn't run the killer for the equivalent of four gens - but no gens actually got done.

Because it feels like a more balanced and fair match.

If I'm in a swf it feels like we're bullying the killer with an unfair advantage that the game wasn't balanced around.

Kind of like if you enjoyed boxing as a hobby but for every match you went to, you showed up with a knife...does that sound fun, challenging, or simply fair for the other guy?

It's hard to honestly feel like I earned a win, or outplayed the killer when we aren't playing by balanced rules.

The vast majority of my solo matches are 3+ escapes. You will get matches like that every now and then, but on average the bad survivor teammates you get are still decent enough that if you are decent you will do alright. IE most games they're just slightly bad that you can manage a win if you're good. Rarely are they so bad you can't carry.

In other words, I think when "most" survivors complain that they lose the majority of matches because they have teammates that are so bad that they can't win, it's actually because they are bad as well. This is speaking in general, not specifically towards you.

Most games are winnable in solo queue if you're good. Most, not all.

I think the majority of people on here lack good self reflection. This is a big part of why I'm thinking about starting a series of videos where I critique submitted videos to help people realize how winnable a lot of matches were if they had played better instead of just blaming bad teammates.

One time when I was solo I saw nobody was coming to get me so I took the chance and it actually worked and I got downed again and nobody came to save me.

Well we can exclude matches where you get thrown wild ranks like the browns you were mentioning. That's a matchmaking issue and not truly reflective of a normal solo queue game.

There are a multitude of issues with mmr and why it's not going to work.

Firstly the whole reason we are getting mmr is because rank isn't an accurate gauge of skill. Yet, we aren't being told how mmr ranks "skill". We also aren't going to be shown our mmr. If mmr is to replace ranks because it's a more accurate gauge of skill, why didn't we just use that criteria for the current ranking system?

So what reason would there be for not showing us our mmr, not showing us how it determines skill and not just using its metric for the current rank system?

It's because there isn't confidence that it actually does gauge skill and also because they don't want us to be able to point out its inaccuracies or that it is matching us incorrectly. In other words, it's the current system we already have except without the ability to see the poor ranking and poor matchmaking to be able to call out the devs on it. It's a way to cover up the games issues.

The only reason they've given for hiding the mmr information is that it will supposedly be manipulated to control our mmr. This doesn't make any sense. If mmr measures skill...then us seeing the skill metrics...will make us play skillful in order to.."manipulate it"? So "manipulating" the mmr system is just playing skillful? Sounds silly right?

You're now gonna have no idea after a match as to whether or not you were matched correctly and no clue if the system considers what you did playing well. You're gonna be in the dark. Can't complain if you don't know anything right? lol

Here's another issue different from the rest of this...

The game is quite poorly balanced in its current state. The extremely poor ranking system, rank reset being too little, too much ease in ranking up on survivor is what covers up the games imbalances. It puts more potatoes against good killers.

IE in a perfect mmr system world killers would be getting destroyed. The games issues I just listed cover up these imbalances.

So what could be done on the survivor side to make sure the potatoes stay where they belong and not get into matches they shouldn't be able to get in? The issue with survivor is yeah it's easy to play in terms of just hold m1 and help out when you can but where there much survivors can do (a game issue not a skill one) it's gonna be easy for now until devs do something for objectives

They also hide mmr only cause when they made it to where it was possible to see other ranks people just kept lobby dogging which I guess they don't want

Hiding it gives no benefit that we do not have now.

The literal only thing it accomplishes is as you've implied, covering issues up.

Old rank reset will help (I still don't get why they changed it to where it is now) and idk I feel like I get a lot of points when interacting with the killer when I can I just want more points to other stuff like being stealthy or healing and kinda want more survival points cause theyre isn't much in that category I feel tbh

Also what's the issue with seeing our own ranks? Is it due to people thinking they're better than they are cause they see a red rank and think "i'm so good" when in reality they aren't?
