A bit of data from 30 matches playing as a solo queue survivor..
I play both sides, this sheet has no bias, it's just information.
I do NOT have low MMR, I have thousands of hours playing as both killer and solo survivor.
I will admit, the killers I've V.S. recently have been very mixed.
On a personal note as a solo survivor, if you bring self-care in the current meta, don't complain games are too difficult, you're the reason the games are hard for other survivors.
As a killer, I encourage all survivors to bring self-care, it's a good time investment.
I'll post again when I reach 60 games :)
Feel free to ask me anything :)

I've actually been considering bringing Self Care + Bite the Bullet into a match. Not to heal myself fully but just to shut myself up briefly at critical times. I used Bite the Bullet with a medkit earlier against Pig when I was trying to get my trap off. She literally ran right past me in front of the Jigsaw Box. So I still think Self Care can be a handy tool at times.

Why do you think this matters
1 -
How do you know you're high MMR?

No.

I assume it matters because a bunch of people are giving their own experiences as solo survivor -- or survivor in general -- because this forum, presumably, is for people giving feedback on the gameplay.
The forum is littered with people claiming survivor is completely unplayable or that they're losing every single match they queue up in. When other people share experiences that are different than that, it matters as much as the people sharing their bad ones.

I'm just going to say it...
I have a really hard time believing you escaped 24 of your 30 matches as a solo survivor in this economy.
Edit: Or rather, that you played into 14 zero-kill games at "High MMR"

Can you upload them in screenshot format, like this?
etc.
Makes it easier to believe.

I don't.

Self-care + Botany is one of the best combinations to bring in this meta where killers tunnel and camp none stop. Having said that if you bring just self care you'll lose almost every time, so it must be the combo.

OP is claiming to escape 80% of his matches. That is a statistical wonder in solo queue, even if one was to claim this is a small sample size. Furthermore, the data suggest that nearly 50% of OP's trials were zero kill games.
Do you realize how difficult it is for a killer to not kill anyone, now that DS and OTR are disabled once the gates are powered? Hooking anyone at the end of the game is a death sentence, unless the rescuer has BT or the killer grossly misplays the turn of events.
Something here is misleading.

30 is still an incredibly small number for tracking outcome in a highly variable scenario like DBD, I'd expect raw count data the skew toward one tail till well into the 100's or more for something like this.
Raw counts from outcome don't control for any of the variations in gameplay, player experience or team build, meaning a huge number of games would be required to really make any reasonable point about the game overall.

I've been noticing a ton of killers far below my skill level, as well. However, it has only been in playing with 1 or 2 other friends that I've been able to leverage that fact to better the outcome of the match. In solo queue, i'm pretty helpless with respect to my teammates' fate, which paired with the lack of aura reading in OP's data is what leaves me in disbelief.
I suppose if OP said they queued with one other person during this data collection I would be more inclined to believe it.

Mmm, I actually disagree. Screenshots might be more easier to believe, but seeing a spreadsheet like that makes the information much easier to understand compared to OP posting 30 screenshots of their end-game screen.
I actually think a better way for them to go about it would be uploading screenshots of all of his post-games to Imgur or something in an album or throwing them in a dedicated tab in the spreadsheet, and then posting an online, read-only copy for people to look at for themselves in real-time. (But this would involve OP having their email visible to everyone as the poster, so of course, I could see where they wouldn't be comfortable with that.)

Ok, well let's start by addressing queue times, I'm instantly getting into matches while as killer I have to wait forever, so I'm assuming that some matches are paring me with killers they shouldn't (speculation but I assume true), so this may be helping my escape rates.
I did it in an excel sheet instead of screenshots because I wanted to see more than just escapes, but what perks were becoming meta etc. it's easier to look at a glance at a spreadsheet than over 30+ screenshots.
Really unsure why people find this unbelievable, a lot of the killers I went against weren't high tier killers, a lot of them didn't slug/tunnel/camp, so the escape rate makes logical sense to me, it comes down to how the killer tries to play. I also probably play more than most people so.....
On a final note, the meta change hasn't impacted me so much for one reason, before the meta change, I ran random perks through a wheel, so I never had a set build, got use to using nearly every perk, so when perks got nerfed, it didn't change much for me.
I'll admit, good idea, but from what I've seen, people are choosing to run self-care solo (no botany) so, yeh, that hurts.

Why does it matter, because the whole forum is just people saying how unhealthy the game is, it's impossible etc. asking for drastic changes, but providing no evidence.
I'm just showing my experience as a solo survivor to show that it's not as bad as everyone makes out (for me, personally).
Guess to some, harder and more challenging makes the game unbalanced and unfair.
Looking at your previous comments on other posts, you clearly just have a stick up somewhere. If you aren't going to provide anything meaningful to a post, just don't comment.
