Games as SoloQ Survivor are even more miserable now
I played 12 games as solo survivor and they were all unbelievably horrible. Sure the gen time increase might balance things around for swf but just because it is balanced does not make it fun to play.
Here are the issues that I have with SoloQ or playing survivor in general:
- complete lack of communication; anything to add more ways to communicate would be lovely (icons showing what survivors are doing, having a wheel for text prompts to send like "On my Way", "I'm Hiding", "I am going to unhook", "killer nearby"); basically anything that closes the HUGE gap between swf and soloQ so this game is easier to balance
- Survivor being able to kill themselves on hook; if they want to leave, they should disconnect and receive the penalty; too many people use this to soft DC just because they got downed within the first 30 seconds
- BP gains are horrible; if you escape flawlessly without being chased or anyone getting hook thats a lovely 7k for you; if you sit on gens the entire game and do 2 of them solo, thats a whole 2500 from gens; getting fuckall from doing the main objective is really not good. More scoring events and more BP for survivors please
- the killer is able to use incredibly unfun tactics; camping and tunneling are still probably the things that kill fun the most; are they justifiable in certain situations? yes. Should they just work always? no. Due to lack of communication + lack of punishment for killers + lack of tools to combat it these mechanics can single handedly turn a 10 minute experience miserable (5 minute Queue, playing for 3, getting camped for 2)
- gens are hyper boring to do but what's new
- Nurse and Blight are still not adressed; due to the changes they are absolutely disgusting to face
- some absolutely boring stuff such as basement trapper or tombstone piece myers still exist
The 100% bonus in my region for playing survivor will not make me play one more round. Maybe when i feel a bit more masochistic I'll play. As a 50/50 play, I am now a Killer main. As for killer imo literally just deleting DH would ve been enough as the first step. DS did not need a nerf (unless it s the open gate part, thats very nice) and holding W was not that big of an issue imo. It was the ability to hold W, finally get caught but then E and repeat holding W.
I hope you have a nice day and my regards go out to all SoloQ players, you guys have earned my respect.

Unfornately that was going to be the outcome at a patch designed to shake up meta perks and buff killers as whole. The devs at least have mentioned they plan to add solo q improvements in the future, so we can only hope we don't have to wait too long for those to be ready.

my expectations arent high; they worked on sbmm for a year and that was a flop
also 6 years... and core issues are still in the game
sure the game has gotten better but the same issues that existed 6 years ago, still exist
I hope they actually address them and soon at that

Usually I don't care about escaping if the game was good. Had a great Onryo game the other day where she played well, had good chases and interaction, and was one of my more fun games lately despite dying that game. She was cool in EGC, which is always a plus.
But my games today were atrocious. My last game tonight was a Thana, Plaything, Pentimento huntress who proxy camped every other hook. We did two gens, and the second gen popped right before hatch spawned. Maybe with full comms/SWF it would be manageable, but that game felt purely unwinnable soloq.
