Dear devs, some effort into solo queue please?
I think everyone can agree solo queue is lacking so much communication between the members it's all confusion and chaos.
The thing is fixing it isn't even as hard as it seems, small changes like making Kindred base-kit in solo, a totem counter, or if you feel like releasing a patch that isn't just half a page of lazy polished old stuff then adding a chat wheel to that god awful new HUD would do just the trick.
Apart from the frustration it removes in solo queue, buffing solo queue to SWF level allows for much smoother and easier balancing for the balance team cause you don't have to consider all these dumb swf exceptions since solo queue now can execute them almost just as well.

Making kindred base but just without seeing the killer and just seeing all other survivors is a good idea. Having a totem counter is a brilliant idea I've been wanting that for so long and I have no idea why that isn't a thing especially when they say totems is one of the survivors objectives.

Even with the see killer effect it's still be quite alright but yeah it'll clearly prevent double saves which can get annoying.

Agreed, also yeah seeing the killer to would be good I'm just trying to think if maybe there would be a way to still keep the actual perk kindred and maybe even rework it a bit so you only see the killer maybe but you see them from a further distance from the hook maybe.

Solo doesn't need help. People need to get better at survivor in all honesty. Solo doesn't need a totem counter. The survivor role is already getting it's hand held too much. Solo is only bad when your teammates are low skill. If 50% of survivors could play optimally, solo would be 200% better. 99% of the issues solo has is due to other survivors. People DC for any reason, they give up on hook for any reason, they crouch around, they don't do gens, they can't run the killer, they rush hooks to save, which lets the killer snowball, etc. I have no issue on a personal level as a solo survivor. I can run most killers to the point they lose multiple gens, or they just leave me to find a weaker target. The only thing I have an issue with is lower skilled teammates giving low skilled killers free wins.
People really need to look into their personal skill and find how to improve. This is a PvP game and it should be a challenge for both sides, not just killer vs experienced survivors.

Other than skill issues, the only other problems effecting solo queue is a poor ranking and a poor rank reset system which is putting survivors at higher ranks than they should be. IE your other teammates are supposedly your same rank but in reality are much lower rank in their skill.

No thank you, I don't want more free info flooding my hud. Solo has less to work with than swf, but I don't want that stuff as free info. I'd rather have to figure things out in game without being instantly notified.

What is it with people on these forums not understanding that the game cannot be properly balanced until solo survivor is buffed? So many people are so quick to say that solo survivor doesn't need buffed yet these same people say that playing against SWF is too difficult. Allowing solo survivors to be at the same level as SWF will subsequently allow the devs to balance the game around SWF, what is so difficult to understand about that?

yes something should be done. but what?
Someone suggested in-game text chat which could work. Hide it or display it. Use translator if you dont understand.
Kindred minus killer viewing sounds OK.
Totem counter? not necessary - there are only 5 totems and already so many helpful perks to find and cleanse them..

Some are too busy writting "OMG SWF IS BROKEN PLS REMOVE, BHVR KILLER FEELS MISERABLE" threads to understand why SWF cant be properly nerfed and Killers buffed until Solo has the problems it has fixed.
