Solo Q officially Dead
Sorry but its not playable and fun anymore.
And I know the biggest issue is bad matchmaking, giving me baby Survivors.
However, now its so bad that I cant carry these bots anymore. Gens take to long, I get chased for minutes and nothing pops. Then Killer decides to stop chasing me and downs my mates withing 15 seconds full health state.
BHVR you should have adressed the bad matchmaking of team mates 1st before doing these Killer buffs.
Or are they no competent Solos left anymore and everyone switched to SWF long ago. I wonder why eh

dont worry. Soon many killers would need to play solo to find a match, and you know, they escape always

With the new blood point ensentive I doubt it’ll come to that.

Uhm wdym? If Solos switch to Killer or leave the game it will come to it. Someone has to pick the survivor role times 4 to make a match happen.

All is good in my solo games
👍 devs

There as already and over abundance of survivors to killers, and even if they do leave in droves then maybe that’ll balance out the queue times?
You do know that if there’s an imbalance in either roles then there’ll be a blood point booster to adjust it ?

My solo games are good.

everything was good in my Killer games before even against the sweatiest teams

My Killer games were good before the patch. Im currently 4king as wraith with 4-5 gens up.

That can tilt super fast. Because some players are not just leaving DbD. They just leave survivor role and play Killer exclusive (like myself rn). So basically it doubles per player
0 -
also, why is the survivor role becoming 100% bonus rn if we have to many survivors? Makes no sense

I have a 100% survivor bonus and the qs are 4+ minutes but my killer qs are instant. The insensitives aren't working

Or they borked matchmaking

Been playing solo all day. It's literally the same unless you relied to heavily on the meta.

2015 called and wants the meme back

Do the gens literally take the same time? Do you literally not see legion and plague more often? Literally?
7 -
Hahaha your funny acting like matchmaking was ever fixed. But seriously I don't see how broken match making would make the insensitive be wrong.

Same thing for me.
But onto the subject matter, this patch in general is pretty enjoyable for me. The forum animals crying "DBD is dead!!" happens after every single balance patch. I will say, however, I really really really wish that BHVR had chose to give some form of Kindred and maybe Bond as base kit as opposed to base-Borrowed Time.
As a Solo Q player Kindred+Bond never leave my bar (or at least when they do I immediately regret it). Prove Thyself is still free BP with a bonus, so.... I have maybe one perk slot to experiment with in my Survivor build. And that is likely going to Off The Record when the dust settles because, well, that perks ridiculous.
Would love to run some fun perks like Blast Mine or Flashbang, etc but just not much room.

I have to agree I actually love everything BHVR did this patch so far but I do wish they would of gave solo q some love. It would of been nice to see those icons for your teammates in this patch but maybe next patch if they keep up like this we could see a new BHVR

“Officially”.
I’m not sure that word means what you think it means.

Super mixed bag as always. I'm not sure what the point of giving me a role incentive is if you're going to stick me in an awful game matchmaking-wise. You can keep the bonus if I'm going to be put in a lobby with a 20 hr player. At some point they have to accept that half of the playerbase is super casual and half is more competitive, and different things will make each side happy. But throwing every playstyle and skill level together just creates conflict.

Same thing here. I'd rather not get the bp boost if queue times are longer now instead of instant and I get new players in my lobby.

What can I say... Congrats survivors on overreacting on killers "10% buffs". This is so sad...

I have played like 15 soloq games today and died a total of 3 or 4 times, I de-pipped once. It feels like they increased que time to match you with closer MMR survivors and killers, it feels much better than yesterdays games imo. OTR is like wearing a nice warm blanket every time I get off the hook, feels amazing, I don't think I will ever take it off.

Im pretty sure people arent making things up and just cry for the sake of crying. Solo Q is totally dead. Im facing only teams with minimum 3 toolboxes as wraith and my only gen perks are corrupt and overcharge. They cant get more than 1 gen done, Im absolutly dominating every team since patch.
3 -
I've seen a few Legions but no Plagues. I dealt with them the same. Don't waste too much time healing and stay out of range of Frenzy. The extra gen time and thank buff is noticeable but not all that impactful.
The game still plays the same. It's not a big deal.

To bad our success wasn't enough to meet the kill ratios the devs want to balance for.

"Sorry but its not playable and fun anymore."
I cant
abuseuse DH tocorrect my mistakesmake distance anymore , mymeta perksfavorited perks got changed i refuse to run other perks - entitled survivor mains
jeeez its been only 1 day , can people just chill out for just 1 week and test stuff to see how the changes affects the entire game overal and not doing a early conclusion, today my matches were fun and not having to be worried about teammates having BT is Huge for game health.

Many of us played the PTB and warned BHVR many of these things would happen... but they nerfed Bottany.

My small experience of yesterday have me the worst teammates I could have.
If it becomes the norm, I'll have to find a team.

I've been playing killer and all easy 4Ks. No idea if these people were solo or grouped, but it's been pretty easy. I've been breezing through my killer challenges from previous tomes that I skipped lol in one game they managed to do two generators, most of the time they might get one or two at best. If you're not that good as killer, this is a great time to get your challenges completed.

I have had no problem with my solo matches. Of course killers are stronger now, but if you always respected the killer before and learned how to play the game and looping without DH, then you are doing fine.
That's the issue, though. People are used to running circles around the killer and having DH as their free out-of-jail card. That's now working anymore and many are confronted with the reality that their skills weren't actually as good as they thought.
Some will drop the game, others will adapt and learn the game and things will carry on.

I have 6k hours, I can do my predictions by small sample size. Im not braindead. Dont conclude from your inability to make predictions on everyone else not being able to do this

"The biggest issue is bad matchmaking" - really? Don't get fooled, killers came up with this argument to play down SoloQ issues. If most of soloQ players are getting bad teammates, where are the good ones and why is SoloQ survival rate around 35-40% then? And why does matchmaking mainly fail only for SoloQ, since killers have kill rate of around 55-65%? Did matchmaking work way better after the release of DBD, when playing survivor was much easier and then suddenly stopped working, after all the matchmaking tweaks? It's just silly.
Don't repeat something that killer mains want you to think, SoloQ is bad not because of matchmaking, it's because soloQ is unbalanced and needs buffs. As simple as that.
3 -
did I say its the only reason? I said its the biggest and I know this with my 6k hours and using Bond as my Main perk since years. I idiotic bots.
Solo Q is unbalanced yes, because BHVR has been balancing around SWF for years now. But it doesnt change the fact that Solo Q MM is absolute garbage and make it even worse

"If you respected the killer before you'll do fine" you people really have a power fetish.
4 -
100% this! I know exactly what kind of people say this. "Just fear me, be scared. Pls, just for once I want to feel being the power role".
5 -
Your predictive power is not as demonstrably accurate as you believe it to be.
In fact, it's about as far off as your understanding of the word 'Official'.

Imaging getting hung up on a word used in a titel. You are amazing.

If I need to be hung up for you to successfully move on from my response, then go ahead and think I'm hung up.
0 -
So you either have a power fetish or you show no respect for your opponent or the role they play?
Isn't the urge to disrespect the killer and to dominate and totally destroy them its own power fetish?
I honestly think that somewhat reinstating the original status quo ain't no power fetish but is unironical the way the game was original conceived. And I never felt particular servile in my survivor games pre-patch, I just never saw the killer as a punshing bag, but respected their ability to kill me.
0 -
I never teabag, never flashlight click and don't nod at killers. I never BM. I also don't use dead hard. What more respect do you want?
0 -
Then I either don't know why you attested me a power fetish in a somewhat derogatory sounding way, or you seem to do so yourself. Still, this whole verbal exchange leaves me confused.
0 -
What makes you confused? What you said is that if survivors respect the killer and don't use dead hard they will be fine, and I'm telling you, I respect the killer and don't use dead hard and solo q is still not fine.
