What is your SOLO-QUE experience?

3 people crawling around while I distract the killer for 5 gen. It's ain't easy and it ain't fun, but when I do get decent teammates, it's most likely in a match against the Nurse, who most likely camps and tunnels for no damn reason, just because they're too lazy to leave the hook and pressure the gen. What BS.

My last game was against The Trickster and it ended with 1 gen left just as soon as I got camped and sacrificed for 2 minutes because I needed to save an ungrateful Nea who was close to dying but never bothered to unhook me. Tragically, they all died with 1 gen left, and I was the one who popped the 2nd to the last gen before I sacrificed myself.

I thought the consensus was that soloQ is miserable if you play for escapes and/or pips. If I play for WGLF stacks, challenges rituals or to test a funny little build it's usually nkt nearly as miserable simply because the goal if the game is a different one.

Most frustrating aspect of soloQ is the de-pipping that often is entirely out of your hands though. - And being forced to watch the auras of your teamies when you're on hook and the age old question of "what've they been up to anyway?" is answered. Sometimes it really hurts to watch. And sometimes it's very clear: there is zero point in sticking around.

That being said, outside of peak hours soloQ is still an alright experience in about half the cases - but it comes in streaks. I also think it's the hardest for new-ish Players who dont yet have a very grood grasp of everything thats going on.

Solo queue is the only way I play dbd, friends that have dbd haven't played in 2 years and have like a few hours on it soooo it is pAiN. Getting left on hook too long when there is 3 others still in the match, being camped but there's still 3 other unhooked people who can save but even though it's not a bubba, will not even attempt to save, sometimes gens go so slow that everyone dies at 5-4 gens because everyone's to busy hiding in the corner of the map.

I mean this isn't every game, but like 2 out of 10 games I get this bad solo queue experience.

I play a decent amount of solo survivor, though I play more in a SWF usually. I'd kept survivor stats until just recently over 275+ games, and my escape rate, somewhat surprisingly, was about the same whether solo or as part of a SWF (around the 55% number).

I can attest that some solo matches can definitely be miserable, but all in all, I don't mind playing solo, and I'm pleasantly surprised by my teammates more often than not. My biggest concern is when I'm the "random" with what looks to be a 3-person SWF, as I'm worried about being the sacrificial lamb in those cases.

I had two recent matches where playing with a SWF showed both extremes of how being a "solo" can go. One match against an Oni, everyone else on death hook, I go down for my first hook after some decent chases with 1 gen remaining. Was worried about being left to die (I think the Oni had gotten their power), but I can see one person on the last gen and the other two sprinting for each of the other doors right before it popped. One served as a distraction while the other got a gate open, and the one that finished the gen pulled me down -- perfect teamwork, and we got a four-out.

That's the great result. A yesterday was almost an example of the pain solo can give you. Up against a GF, and the 2-person SWF (matching names) are an Adam (first hooked by the exit as Jill and I were working on the last gen) and Dwight (on death hook). The Jill I suspected was a solo like myself. We pop the last gen, I head to rescue the Adam off of the hook while GF chases Jill. I get to the Adam to see the Dwight popping the exit gate and Adam pulling himself off the hook with Deliverance. Just as Jill goes down -- the Adam and Dwight leave (in their defense, they were both doing Adepts, so in retrospect, I understand the call), leaving me alone. Thankfully, I got close to where the Jill was being hooked (within BBQ, which I suspected they had -- and did, and they also had MYC, so I got the unhook quickly, so it wouldn't activate). I wasn't running BBQ, but I was able to take the protection hit and we both narrowly got out. I can only imagine that the Jill was thinking she was going to get abandoned, but I've been in her shoes and was ready to sacrifice myself so they could get out. Not always what you see in solo.

TL:DR -- solo can be occasionaly miserable, but overall, I enjoy it, and matches like the two examples above are why,

Choosing not to bring Kindred

Loading into the match

Immediately regret not bringing kindred

I almost always play SoloQ. Because of different time zones, I play SWF once in a blue moon. Overall SoloQ is enjoyable, but there are some games that can be very frustrating.

Killers face-camping/hard-tunneling because u had the audacity to loop them is one thing.

But farming survivors or the damn bunny Feng's that work with the killer to get everyone else killed/pull you on/off the hook until you die... yeah I have nothing nice to say about those players. That has happened often enough that I dodge lobbies with Feng players.

Nea's on the other hand are some of the best teammates! <3

Absolutely miserable. I play to win and can't get teammates that fit my playstyle. I constantly have teammates throw games for Rift challenges, refuse to play at all, or just goof off. That's not how I want to play. No, it's not my MMR. Let's just say I have it on good authority that it's above the cap. Raising your MMR on survivor will not improve your experience at all. SBMM does an absolutely terrible job of matching survivors of similar skill and playstyle.

It depends. Hard to say. But I can say the more relaxed the killer is the more fun it is. That does not mean I have to escape.

Very frutrating for me is a match against a killer with strong perks and addons and then I got hooked and see that nobody is doing a generator. It feels immediatly like a match without a chance.

The best games are the games where you die and still able to enjoy or laugh about the game. Really rare, but happens 🙂.

My Solo games are awful. Usually one or all of these scenarios happen:

- Teammates sacrificing themselves of first hook.

- Teammates DCing on their first down or because it's a killer they don't like.

- Teammates bringing the killer to me while I'm on gens or healing.

- Teammates body blocking me while I'm a chase.

- Dying on first hook because teammates decide to do gens and crouch around the map instead of helping.

- Camping Bubba's

- Basement campers

So yeah, solo survivor is not a fun experience for me and that's why I often play selfishly, unless my team has proved they will be of help. I very rarely get compitent or good teammates.
