I mean, from almost 6 match, i facing a high experienced killer, even i get a killer with 3,000 hrs. I am only rank 10 survivor. I dont get any bloodpoints , this game only wasting my electricity & internet bill. With the lobby time that almost more than 10 minute, i only enjoy the game very short, and killer get 4K. Damn BHVR you need to fix this soon, or player will complaint and uninstall your game.

    So far it has only improved my solo play. It's becoming more common to see efficiency on gens, safe saves, and even body blocks from my fellow solos.

    Thing I'm enjoying most though is that killers are straight to the point and making survival more difficult.

    Eh, it worked for me.

    Poor Kate was tunneled all game (hence the 12k points) and we couldn't save her but did take a load of hits and 3 of us got out through the gates. Wasn't that bad.

    Yeah my game is vastly improved on solo survivor, we got 4k'd by a spirit earlier and the scores looked the same, but it was just a few critical errors at the start that let her super snowball the end of the game it happens sometimes.

    The game has always been tough as solo Survivor. The only time it isn't tough is when you get matched with a potato Killer or someone who doesn't care enough to sweat the 4K.

    Solo games have never been better for myself and anyone I've asked about it.

    Same with my killer games.

    which is fine? the SBMM will adjust so you get matched up with killers more your skill, that is the entire point, just give it time.

    And remember, every match you just gain stuff, you never lose stuff, you cannot go backwards.

    Looks like it didn't work well for the killer though.

    Most of my killer games have been clean 3k+hatch/4ks, so maybe it's placing me lower than it should. But since this thread was about solo survivor, I gave my experience playing solo.

    My teammates have been amazing. I'm probably going to take a break after the test until it's permanently on.

    Here has been my experience this far as a solo survivor. I have mostly been playing survivor the last couple months so the system should have a decent amount of data on my survivor play.

    During the morning hours when my survivor queues are fastest, I feel I have been getting better survivors than I was with emblem rank match making. Most of my games at this time it seems the survivors are too efficient for the killers to be able to overcome and thus feels like the killers I face are not of the same skill level, at least as of the team as a collective. Their have been a few exceptions but for the most part the only killers that seem to have been able to put on enough pressure have been ruin, undying, tinkerer blights and 1 cracked spirit. Speaking of spirits, it seems a lot of them have taken the iron will buff hard (not saying it was a bad buff, just pointing out my experience). I only played against one nurse and they didn't do well.

    In the evening, when my survivor queues are long, the level skill of my teammates drastically drops. Most of the killers still feel like I out skill based on how chases go. Then the next match might be a 6k hour wraith that destroys us. So it seems like it can be all over the place.

    I have a little over 2100 hours. In my morning queues I have been paired with 3 fairly well known streamers with thousands of hours more play time than me and in my opinion, highly out skill me. I'm not sure why the SBMM would think I'm of the same skill level.

    With the exception of better teammates during my better survivor queue times, I do not feel like my matches have seemed more fair or evenly matched than they were with emblem rank match making.

    Scratch getting good survivors during my better queue times for survivor. I just got out of a game with a survivor that only had 250 hours and this is my good survivor queue time. They were not a smurf. HOW? If the system is matching people of similar skill, why am I getting one extreme to the next? If I got a survivor with 8000 hours (Bryan_S) in my lobby that runs no perks and still outperforms everyone in the lobby, why am I getting a 250 hour survivor in my next match? How can I be in the ballpark of skill to get matched with a great survivor and then in the ballpark of skill and getting matched with a relatively new survivor?

    These matches are not fun. It's either we complete all gens in 4 minutes and the killer had no chance or I have teammates that crouch around the map and we get destroyed by the sweatiest killers in the game.
