Solo Q is in the worst state ever

They don't want to buff Solo-q because if they do, kill rates probably will down.

Sounds like bad luck to me. I am exclusively a solo survivor and my escape rate is much higher then yours. It takes a dc, gen phobic survivors, or a great killer and even then sometimes we still win. All it takes is one bad chase for the killer to lose.

I have pretty much never played with DS. Especially not since the nerf. Exhaustion perk yeah, that's something I usually always have. Though it's hard to fit sometimes since I have not taken off iron will since I bought the game.

And it's a build for you to escape, not necessarily your team. You can swap back to a regular build once you think your MMR is high enough to get good teammates. I don't usually run BT in solo Q either. With Wake up, if the team dies horribly you still have a very solid plan B.

There are only a few rules in solo Q. Never be the first one chased, and never be the last one chased. If it's a Hag or Bubba literally throw every pallet on the map before going down cause your first hook is death hook against those two usually.

That's not a really good line of thinking for solo Q imo. At the end of the day, to win the game if you are the best player on the team you need to handle looping the killer. And that usually results in your personal death, which is not a win for solo Q.

Or, alternatively, if the killer realizes you are looping them too hard they can just focus your teammates and leave you to hold M1. That's what I usually found happens. And tons of the time, you cannot hold M1 hard enough to win the games. Especially if you get some spuds on your team and it's a really strong killer.

The only way you are surviving tons of solo Q games is by the hatch/door. So for it to be less miserable I usually have a plan B in place.

Yes, Solo is pretty much impossible now due to killers being overpowered and have been for awhile now. There is no way BHVR can buff solo without heavily nerfing the overpowered killer meta.

Just unlucky, fact is theres not actually anything wrong with solo Q but you will get randoms that's DC, give up/rage against certain killers or just dont know how to play.

I played 15 games and escaped 12, the 3 I lost is because of people giving up on first hook etc. But the games where people actually played we steam rolled the killers

I don't feel like MMR is doing what it's supposed to be doing. I'm much like OP. I care very little about escaping. Chases and sick plays are what's fun to me. I'll have a game where I complete 3 generators all by myself, get 5-8 flashlight saves, do 2-3 totems, run the killer for a total of 4 and a half minutes without getting downed, 3 safe hook saves, heal a total of 6 health states on other survivors, have 5 protection hits either to help a survivor wiggle off or prolong their chase....I'm the one who ends up dying while the urban nea did half a gen and hid in 10 lockers all game gets the escape. I'll check after the match and see I'm paired with three survivors with less than 20 hours in the game(meanwhile I have 2.6k) and we were matched with a killer with 5k hours. If you're escaping consistently, I hate to break it to you, but you're probably the one being carried or you are just EXTREMELY lucky. Bad survivors consistently get boosted to higher MMR because they get carried, so even at higher MMR you still have several paint eating teammates. Occasionally I'll get some savvy teammates and we'll rock ######### out, but almost every game I'm matched with survivors who are scared of the terror radius, will DC on first down, will crouch walk while the killer is across the map, throw pallets as soon as they hear the terror radius, will leave you to die on hook for their own preservation, can't run the killer more than 15 seconds and fail skill checks constantly.

I honestly think that the matchmaking does this on purpose. I remember when I first started playing years ago, it was impossible to escape as a survivor, especially when trying to learn the game. DBD is a hard game to get into as survivor because your first 50 hours will feel impossible and like the game is extremely killer sided. I think I'm consistently matched with new players to bolster their escapes. Sure I get mad at new player stupidity, but I can't blame them. I sucked ass until around 1k hours. Sure I COULD play selfish, not engage in chases, not take protection hits and not take self-risky plays to save others, but not only would that make me a bad survivor, it would be incredibly boring.

The problem is, tunneling and camping are too effective against baby survivors. I honestly think killers are very aware of this and use it to their advantage but would NEVER admit it. Many games I play, If I get found first, the killer will give up on chase after about a minute when they realize they won't catch me easily and may have to exert a lot of effort and/or time to hook me. After running the killer for a minute, they leave and about 20 seconds later I hear a meg scream and see she's down. Then that killer will just tunnel them out. I'll see the killer occasionally throughout the match, but they'll never commit more than a few seconds chasing me. They repeat the tunnelling process on the other survivors until they're all dead and they'll either slug the last one so I can't get hatch, or hopefully hook them. Much like OP I escape probably 2/10 games, but those two times are through hatch, which has no effect on your MMR. I'm sick of getting 20-30k bp every match while the rest of my team got less than 10k and I either die or escape through hatch. It's super annoying. I don't care much about escaping, but I'm sick of having to sweat every single game, carry 3 other survivors on my back to a sweaty killer running ruin/undying/scourge/noed EVERY SINGLE GAME, against people who installed like a week ago.

Of my 2.6k hours, roughly about 800 of that is killer, and while yes I think SWF can definitely be frustrating, but this idea that EVERY game is an optimal SWF is complete bull. I main legion and have overcome flashlight squads, boil over/breakdown squds, etc and it's some of the most fun I've ever had playing this game. Maybe it's because I'm a survivor main, but even as Legion I can end chases super quickly because I know how the survivor will play. I know when/where to keep gen pressure, know when to look out/handle flashlight saves/ boil over etc. I don't think survivor is hard, but I don't think killer is either in any way shape or form and that's just my honest opinion. But matchmaking has ruined the solo survivor experience. Just some competent teammates is all I ask for. Hell, I could escape 1/50 games, but as long as the game is fun, I wouldn't care. I would love to see states of individual survivors now. I can almost guarantee most survivors have an escape rate of 15% or less in a game where killers think that getting a 3k means the game is survivor sided. The current perk meta for killers combined with the matchmaking makes this a golden time for killers. Even huge streamers like OTZ thinks that killers have it super easy these days. He also pointed out that even if you get a 4k 50 times in a row, the one time you got a 3k will leave a bigger imprint and frustrate you. That's insane seeing as how being a solo survivor nets you a loss 90% of your games.

Complaining about Solo Q is boring.
