Ok, I've had it. How do I find an SWF?

Solo queue is just an exercise in self loathing. Since SBMM dropped, my matches have been constantly filled with unabashed campers and tunnelers. That alone has been frustrating, because it's impossible to pip up with such a playstyle. I've been throttled with Killers who have names that glorify their glee in griefing, camping, being generally poor to others (i.e; one named themselves HEX: ToxicPoison or some such cringe idiocy).

But the icing on the cake today was the survivors I was matched with. So I'm Solo and was in the dark that I was matched with a 3-man SWF. I didn't realize they had a key, because I have a life, and sometimes when I queue up, people in my household are talking, or doing things etc.

During the match, I played as usual but eventually I used up my Med kit. When I was injured, EVERY SINGLE member of the SWF refused to heal me. They just ignored me blatently. I understand that gens are important, but when a Gen is at like, 5% progress, and a survivor (me) is on Death Hook, is a heal isn't too much to ask? But no. They all categorically refused to heal me.

Then they sand-bagged me and all escaped with a key.

Afterwards, they sent me messages; "LOLZ Ur BAD."

Now look, I'm an adult. I have a great career, a lovely home, a wonderful partner etc. I just play DBD in my downtime, but holy crap. No one, including me, has time or patience for oily, basement dwelling teenage bully squads. Now that I've learned BHVR has absolutely no regard for Solo queue players and bases the quality of my team mates on escapes (cuz SBMM that took 2 years to develop is basic), I've found myself wondering why I even try to help other team mates anymore. It's every man for themselves and my matches are gradually starting to shift to that even worse than before. However, I'm not like that by nature. I haven't been able to stomp out every last drop of empathy in my soul to be like the greasy sociopaths I'm matched up with. I TRY to save people in End game. I'm the one that doesn't like to leave people behind. I'll heal you if I can- if I think it's too dangerous, I will drop my Med Kit so you can grab it and heal somewhere in safety. I will solve Pinheads puzzle box before the Chain Hunt. Yes. Even in Solo queue*

My Perks are usually geared for being a team player. I'm THAT Bill. But with SBMM, apparently players like me are not valued, or at least, are foolish for being the way we are.

So I'm done. How does someone like me find an SWF? Is it possible to find one with fellow adults so I don't have to endure morons with "LOL GG EZ" disrespecting or bullying Killers as well? Idk, maybe I just need to find another game.

I am genuinely looking for help in finding an SWF.

But you have to pretend I'm an old (but not THAT old) professional, who has a full life outside of video games, with a decent vocabulary rather than just " HURRRRRRRRRRRR GG, U SUCK. GG EZ llololololol *click click click click**".

    Have fun getting into a group, only to then be told you underperformed on a certain match, and having them not want to play with you anymore.

    Not saying that every group will be like this, there is many friendly people out there, but the DBD community can be very toxic.

    I enjoy playing solo without all the expectations and strings attached that come with groups, despite being in a weaker role as a solo.

    As for finding a group, usually you can ask people you played with after the game.

    Facebook groups and the official DBD Discord are great places.

    A SWF without clicking and gg ez is not a SWF at all. You would never fit in old man.

    LOL It's not an SWF without a pastel coloured Feng Min with a flashlight screeching about Baby Killers.
