Solo que survivor issue

I’m a rank 2-1 survivor as many people probably are and rank doesn’t really mean much I just wanted to say it to explain the match process. I notice every game is usually against a rank 1 survivor and I have 0 issues with this it’s good but literally every killer is just slugging the entire team down and players just rush into save without even healing and trade hooks like absolute idiots. They do this so fast that’s it’s literally one person doing generators while this good chase happens. This isn’t just every now and then I’d I take 10 solo que games into account this happens for a good 70% of games. And yes even with my fellow red ranks. I guess we can’t blame the killer cuz the killer needs to win too but this method makes a solo geared up rank 1 killer almost unbeatable when going in with randoms. To every killer that thinks SWF is toxic you have your answer now. And to every survivor main who thinks solo que is ######### this because of SWF. So basically this DBD loop is #########. Killers are way too strong in solo que more than 70% of the time due to teams lack of communication/greed for pips ( often causing the game to just die). It doesn’t matter how good of a survivor you are this game is 70% team dependant you cannot do everything yourself you cannot do altruism and generators if your other team members are constantly slugged and can’t hold a looop. This is something I notice all the time but it makes a decent to good player basically remain unrewarded. The pip system kinda sucks. It’s easy when I play with my brother duo que I literally has a 10% chance to depip cuz we can talk but solo man really sucks even tho I get max chase if my whole team is down well then that’s about all I’ll ever get. Yeah I’m complaining I get it but pip system should change it shouldn’t be some stupid emblem thing it needs rework it’ll promote killers and survivors to play differently. But what do I know I only have 220 hours or so. Solo que for survivors usually isn’t fun if you go on massive lose steaks due to RNG of teams. I agree sometimes I get killed in seconds but often times I can outlast but at that level of play it won’t even matter without team communication. How come there isn’t an in game mic for surirvors? Is that a bad idea or?

    I haven't read it fully tho.

    But i play solo and I have hell of fun doing so.

    But yeah it does happen where they just hook trade, run the killer at the hook with another survivor on it.

    But i also had games where i was put with a 3 man swf and they literally did the exact same thing.

    Kept running around the hooks, around the killer, rescue without healing.

    And the fun part at the end is that they didn't blame the killer but me for not doing anything for the team.

    Did 3 saves, couple of heals and 3 gens but hey it was all the solo's faults in the end 😂

    Main concern here is like what can u even do? I run across so many team members doing abolsutely nothing, DC on first hook , and waste time, run into the killers slug zone and GG game is over. It’s a really punishing game for solo experience depending on your team and for someone with my luck it ends up getting boring af sooner than later. Being the final survivor when 3 gens are still up , and you can’t even get altruism because it’s a slug fest is sad. I also play killer so I know how the system works. I completely destroy teams when they are solo and sometimes even SWF. I don’t even use hex perks. Only BBQ AND CHILI but it’s so easy to 4K survivor teams and I know it’s hard to pip as killer but this play style just seems idk.... boring to me I just hope for a new emblem system which takes into consideration slugging and gen rushing that’s the barrier or each side.

    I play solo all the time and I've seen people rushing in to save each other right in front of the Killer and get downed and hooked and...I don't know why? I will assume they have Borrowed Time, but sometimes they don't. They just unhook in front of the Killer and end up down and hooked again. I remember one time in particular where the match started and three people were downed near the killer shack. They just kept trying to unhook each other without healing or leaving the area. I was doing a gen and looked up and all three were down on the ground and I was the only one fully healed. I ran over to heal them because I felt I had to and the Killer was right there. Turned out that the Killer was nice and let us all heal and do gens and leave but that's not always the case.

    I also had a match where this Meg kept unhooking me in front of the Killer and of course the Killer only went after me and hooked me again and the same Meg unhooked me again and the Killer went after me and downed me again. I was in the match like a whole 30 seconds - didn't get to do anything but be on the hook and die. And while I don't care about my rank, I noticed mine will go down due to the actions of others and I don't think that's fair. I don't care if I stay at Rank 20 forever, but I don't think it's right for people to get screwed over by teammates and lose their rank xD

    Not sure about in game voice chat though...There's a lot of toxic people and I'm like...socially awkward and wouldn't use the chat to begin with 8u;

    Unfortunately, in solo q, it is not feasible to try to do the gens with an overpowered killer and meta perks. Even a well coordinated team can barely win against such. It is smarter to get as many points as possible before the game is over, if you are in solo q. The gates will never be opened unless the killer is a noob.

    Don't blame people's mistakes and lack of common sense on others. We all know how infamously bad solo queue teammates usually are, whether it's a Legion doing adept or a ruin/tinkerer/undying Freddy.

    I mainly do Solo Queue, and as soon as a gen that I'm working on is about to be popped, someone is usually downed. It is very hard almost impossible to take the game in your control because of how your teammates handle the game. I also hate how people that crouch around the map without participating in being chased and are rewarded. I find that to be very questionable and annoying.
