Playing with random survivors is the worst experience in this game

10 games, 10 useless teams, i'm in the wrong MMR or something, every single random group i get, is composed of absolutely terrible players, they should be on the wrong MMR, its like they just installed the game, they have absolutely no idea about hiding, sneaking or any basic part of the gameplay, i'm not saying be good on chases or anything, i had one guy literally killing me by unhooking me immediately in front of the killer, and he didnt have BT, TWICE, and it seems a lot of people are buying the resident evil package just to try or something, because any time you see a Leon, its 99% its a big newbie, either match those people with day 1 baby killers or give us a way to change our "survivor mmr" or something, i just want to get a decent group for once, really see no other way but to find a SWF

    Ahh i see the problem.

    Are you late on your yearly sacrifice for the MMR gods?

    Find a SWF. It will go faster than waiting for SoloQ or MMR to be improved by BHVR.

    Welcome to MMR hell. You will discover that this is not just an expression, but an actual thing.

    You lose because your teammates suck, your MMR drops and you keep getting progressively worst teammates because of this, so you keep losing. At this level the babiest of baby killers with no perks can slaughter your team easily.

    There is no escape, abandon all hope and submit to the void.

    You can only get out with at least 2 other friends who are willing to rescue you from hell.

    And then all the killer mains will complain about SWFs

    Run perks that are better for solo play. Be the guy that goes all game without the killer sighting them.

    I wonder if "loser's queue" is a thing .

    If I hide all game,who’s gonna do the gens? Save other teammates? Or should I just wait for all the randoms to die and hope that hatch will spawn right in my face? :D hiding all game turns the match into a 3v1,and we all know the outcome of such matches.

  • Barbarossa2020
    Barbarossa2020 Member Posts: 1,369

    I didn't say hide, i just said be the guy who isn't seen.

    Play with sprint burst, you'll find you're more inclined to play stealthy rather than just rush around leaving a trail for a killer.

    The amount of survs i find just from scratch marks is astronomical.

  • Chaos999
    Chaos999 Member Posts: 869

    Nope. Hatch doesn't change your mmr. You will remain in hell even if escape through hatch sometimes.

  • Chaos999

    I'm a main killer BTW, and not necessarily. Once you have Escaped MMR hell, by increasing your MMR past a certain threshold (requires friends), you can resume solo queue and you will mostly receive decently competent teammates. Until you slip and fall to hell again, that is.

    It's a combination of a dated concept for solo i.e. limited info and an MMR range that often goes too wide. Killers were much weaker when the game was designed around players having no info outside of the perks they brought. We're well past the point where solos need base info to consistently compete with good killer players

  • Lima24927

    toatlly a big disaster, 9 out of 10 matches a big failure, no matter how hard or how well i do, i unhooked like 4 + people, healed everyone back, did 1 - 2 gens still lose

  • ColonGlock
    ColonGlock Member Posts: 1,224

    Even if your team is getting destroyed you can earn plenty of bp saving and healing them. Be a hero and be fearless

  • Lima24927
    Lima24927 Member Posts: 101

    just to lose a tthe end ? because thats what happens, and god forbid i get caught first, bc some ********* will unhook me right in front of the killer

  • ColonGlock

    This game has no real win conditions. It is what you decide a win is. Change your goals and the frustration dissapears

  • Sumnox
    Sumnox Member Posts: 605

    But it does. Surviving for survivors counts as a win, and killing for killers counts as a win. No other factor is taken into account. That's what lowers/increases the MMR. If you "change your goals" you better have very, very low standards, because your MMR will plummet into the underworld, where there's a blendette and 2 megs having a picnic in a bush.

  • ColonGlock

    My only goal is bp and I tend to have earned the most when I play survivor even if I die, which is often.

  • Lima24927
    Lima24927 Member Posts: 101

    oh yeah, i guess i will change my goals to die every single time and call it a win, and getting barely any bp as well ! that is such a fun goal !! lets die and get 3-4k 20 times in a row and call it a win a be happy ! , please dont say such a crap comment buddy

  • pseudechis

    This isn't that fault of solo queue its the fault of MMR being based on kills and escapes alone.

  • pseudechis
    pseudechis Member Posts: 3,904

    I've walked away from plenty of deaths as survivor with over 20k BP's, maybe you're not as good as you think you are. Just food for thought.

  • ColonGlock
    ColonGlock Member Posts: 1,224

    If you have less than 1k hours then all I can say is eventually it will click. If you have more than 1k hours then perhaps change your playstyle.

    The game is not balanced for casual players. The killers objective is way too easy.

    Theoretically speaking, the way the players are playing is how they are supposed to play but there is no feasible path to escape.

    You have to play on a perfect team or the gates will not be opened. But I never play anymore expecting the gates to open.

  • Lima24927
    Lima24927 Member Posts: 101

    Nah, im good, extremely good for 90 hours of gameplay and only 50% as survivor probably, i can loop plenty of killers already, know how all the basics, know the tiles, know stuns, know how to stealth, and i have escaped MANY times, and with a lot of BP as well, just did 30k while saving at least 2 players, doing 3 gens, opening 1 exit gate, and healing people as well, im just being required too much to actually have a win, good training i guess, but i would like to have teammates that are above the "bot level", people that can at least try, or dont die after 1 second of chase, its pretty simple im not asking much or asking to win everytime, just have people on my level on my MMR, the survivors im playing with, should be on the game tutorial, or at least watching some youtube videos

  • ColonGlock
    ColonGlock Member Posts: 1,224

    This right here. If you are already dead in your mind the killer cannot harm you anymore

    It is so much better that way so you are not so disappointed at the tally screen.

  • SMitchell8
    SMitchell8 Member Posts: 3,302

    In a horror situation, you probably will end up with a bunch of randoms. All part of the experience imo, make the best of what you have, not just have 4 on comms with meta perks for a cake walk.

  • TotemSeeker91

    This is why I only play survivor with friends and why I stopped playing killer.

    As a killer, the survivors are all experts and make zero mistakes. Makes me ask where we're these players when I was playing survivor?

    As a survivor, the other survivors are autistic chimpanzees. They can't loop, drop pallets early, leave people to die on hooks, wait for a camping killer to leave instead of doing gens. Like how come I never see these survivors when I play a killer I am horrible with?

  • drsoontm
    drsoontm Member Posts: 4,903

    I guess it depends on the player.

    I find killer to be generally way worse.

  • Carrow

    Pretty much. I have some light-moderate social anxiety so I really don't want to SWF up, but every passing day I'm more and more temped to stop playing SoloQ, it's so atrocious and every single time they tweak matchmaking, it somehow becomes even worse. But then again, it's not that surprising. Every single time the devs talk about the MMR, the only focus is fast matchmaking, fast matchmaking! Like, you can give me ten matches in an hour but if all of them are ######### I won't want to play. Give me 4 good ones and I'll even wait a few minutes between lobbies...

    I think there is definitely a point in solo q where the game thinks u can carry ppl way under where they should be. I seem to run into this a lot n id only consider myself a slightly above average survivor. Pretty easily get to Iri 1 rank, but id be willing to bet the ppl i end up playing with are nowhere near red ranks. I feel ur pain.

    One of the problems is that killer mains usually spend more time crafting their skills and learning things and dbd theory, otherwise you get bullied a lot and have a very stressful time. On the contrary, i see a lot more weak survivors in higher MMR who get carried by items, offerings, perks and of course their SWF. Killer mains usually know more about running loops than the average survivor.

    I spent much more time with learning killer gameplay before i even started getting good as a survivor, because it just wasn't necessary until i started comp.

    If your average solo survivor would know how to play and which are the most efficient strategies, even a decent killer would struggle on the more surv-sided maps.

    No, killer is the worst experience in the game
