Little tip for soloQ players
i know SoloQ has been rough just from my killer games MMR has been weird, but my survivors games strangely enough have been more random
But i always tend to escape, against most killers, and i gotta say something
PLAY FOR YOURSELF
seriously, i know survivor is suppose to be team based but ain't nobody playing for teambased, now of course if you see someone playing for the team play with them but if you see a dwight self caring in the corner of the map for 20 mins while u are getting chased or hooked, don't bother with em, if he gets hooked leave em and u aren't forced to run BT every game you know, run perks that help YOU and only you escape
now when i say that i don't mean don't do anything, do gens do stuff just don't take any protection hits or try to get the killer's attention because 70% the time u are gonna hit stage 2 before that self caring meg finishes healing
(i talk a lot about self care because even as a killer i just get annoyed when i find the same survivor healing in a corner for the 5th time, seriously just heal with your teammates its 100% faster)
its soloq u might get an amazing team that will help you and make sure everyone escape or get this
(and before anyone tells me that a sweaty build, im on sadako either i play with that build or i become worst than trapper, so please keep that in mind )
this game is the perfect example of what in oblivion is even MMR
2 people who know what they are doing, a very "FUNNY" Steve that teabagged at 5 gens at first chase yet fell for the simplest mind games but he managed to head on me once (glad the report button exists, oh wait ), and a dwight that has no idea what game he is even playing who also went toxic because meg tried to save him from basement
honestly if i was meg, i was just would just leave him and get hatch, im not forced to save him, hell he was just gen rushing himself by keeping the gens that i can easily patrol around unfinished (the meg did have a pig mask which i appreciate )
TL:DR play like you are playing killer, solo and alone, if u get help that's nice if not then carry yourself, if people get mad.....press the continue button, if u are gonna rely on your items and the killer has franklin's which is very rare, pray to the entity and hide
Edit : since people are saying wow the steve doesn't deserve a report FOR LITTERALY TROLLING AND RUNNING INTO ME not playing badly not teabagging because its funny but literally doing it on purpose while others are trying to play the ######### game , so hackers and subtle cheaters don't deserve one either? and i don't frankly care how anyone plays but since i play both sides i know how the survivors are feeling when its a 3 v 2 with one survivor contently going down INTENTIONALLY

Altruism kills. If rescuing 1 survivor risks the escape of the 3 others, then its best to cut the losses and leave.

Why would this require reporting? The tbags? The head on?

he threw the game for the other survivors because he just wanted attention and was useless the whole game

That's your assumption, but could you actually prove it? People do make mistakes.
I gotta say, you're partly right about Self-Care, but partly wrong. It takes years to move from one side of the map to another and heal together. Yes, it's faster in general, but when you add the time you'd be running and exposing yourself to the killer just to get healed.. No, that's not really worth it. Now, I'm against running Self-Care alone - Do combine it with Botany Knowledge or just boon a totem to heal yourself up, but that's it.
I've used to heal myself up with Self-Care and Botany Knowledge, but I've kinda switched to Iron Will and Resilience combo with Lightweight or Prove Thyself, just so we could get a generator or two done before the killer takes us all out. Sure, I've been surviving around ~33% more often, but I haven't really provided any help to my team mates, besides healing them up fast enough.
Regardless, I'm gonna keep playing the way I am; Yes, I'll keep sacrificing myself for my team mates even though I do almost never get the favour returned.. That's just the way I play for years and do enjoy playing.

i don't even have to prove anything steve has the lowest points of all and he teabbaged while i was behind him like stroking his back, if that isn't throwing i dunno what is
and yes play as you like im not saying anything about it, and even i tend to sacrifice myself so other get hatch, which sometimes works and most of the time i think about my life choices lol

That's the difference between survivor mains and killer mains.
Killer Mains are sweaty and often play optimal using everything they have available to them to secure a 4k. They often take the game WAY more seriously than survivors.
Survivor mains just want good chases and like insane moments where they pull off an incredible play. It's more rewarding than just powering through gens and escaping. The most memorable matches for them are not just escaping quickly, it's the match where they went toe to toe with a basement camper in the EGC and somehow managed to save thier friend and escape, or when they ran the killer for 5 gens and died, but thier teammates got out.
If you don't believe me watch a few streamers. There are 2 killer mains and 2 survivor mains swfing right now and it's freaking hilarious how differently they approach the game. The killer mains are freaking screaming over the mic and talking about hook geometry while the 2 survivor mains are only worried about somehow getting a killer to drop into a hole...

not all killers are sweaty, hell i give hatch when i have a good time, and actually its the opposite survivors tend to be more sweaty than killers, or maybe both sides are, but killers atm are still not ready to take the game easy because most them are still in pre this patch, HARDCORE af
or you do tend to take the game easy but then see that 3 gens flew in 10 seconds...and pressure hits and same for survivor, you take it easy and suddenly all 3 other survivors are down and again pressure hits

People playing for themselves is one of the reasons solo q is miserable.

as i said, if someone is playing for the team, play with them if not play for yourself, unless u wanna hear toxicity even tho u tried to play like a team player

Points do not mean anything. I've been tunneled to death at five generators so many times, yet, I have almost always managed to get each chase to last a little over .. ~30 seconds while trying to somewhat save some pallets for my team mates. In such cases, I've been sacrificed with.. ~10k points at most? Yet, you couldn't claim that I haven't done anything, especially if that option was solely removed from me by being in the chase for the entire duration I've been in the match.
It may be worth to try to dodge the killer's attack while the killer is close, but sometimes.. Ehh, it's just not worth it.
There are still some people, who're like the angels though.
Solo Queue is only miserable if you treat it that way - If all Solo Queue players would've changed their mentality and started to focus on playing as a team, the state would've been greatly improved; Thing is, it takes some effort with no guarantee of it being worth the time and energy, so literally nobody's trying so.
I don't understand, why do people believe that others are supposed to submit to their will - I mean, isn't it more than just a little bit obvious, that you should look in the mirror before judging other people? Now, don't take it personally, it wasn't mean that way.

Uh huh
This is the equivalent of reporting for tunneling and camping i think. Reported for wanting attention and being bad at the game! Reported i say!
2 -
holy ######### is this an awful take
Report the guy for not playing how you want, yikes.
8 -
DUDE seriously?
im the killer i don't care how he plays, but throwing for the others who are actually trying, this is literally why this damn game will never get balanced
report the guy for not playing how i want, hell even go and keep spamming a pallet for all i care but since i play both roles i know how the survivors feel when someone like him exists DAMN
0 -
so let me get this straight, people throwing and trolling IS FINE, and it doesn't ruin the game for the other player who are actually trying to play.....yea.. im starting to see why the report button doesn't work
0 -
Buddy
Pal
Friend
You are mad that he had the galls to tbag and we both know it. Dude wasnt throwing or trolling or you would have lead with that instead of leading with ''he tbags and then gets mind gamed in 5 seconds''
You dont need to backpedal, you dont need to make stuff up. Its ok, we get it, you want to report people that annoy you. Lots of people do. I judge you a little bit for it but it clearly doesnt matter because i dont know you and my opinion of you doesnt matter. You dont have to convince me that thats not what happened, its fine, really : )
4 -
you can't be serious, you seriously cannot be serious right now, i really don't care about the teabagged mainly cuz i play killer too much if it came to holding a grudge against someone teabagging every game i would have went insane but wow, i actually thought u were trolling me, hot damn and fyi he didn't annoy simply because he couldn't even loop or well do anything that could annoy me and yes i went it with first because let's be honest if u teabagg while the killer IS RIGHT BEHIND YOU, not after stunning them or doing something amazing is basically thowing, but wow im shocked that u even think like that, bud im lost for words.
the fact that i wanted to the right thing, and report someone for ruining the game for others, even tho it benefits ME cuz one less survivor to deal with, yet you somehow got it the completely wrong way
and oh hey i got a 4k.......im VERY MAD that he teabagged and died at 5 gens im fuming and ranging and throwing my set up all over my room......ptf
edit : remember kids when u get beaten by common sense u run away

I must be missing something since there’s no clip of the game because you obviously won’t ever get banned just for playing badly or teabagging.
3 -
again my man, if he played baddly that's fine, and teabagging as well, THE GUY WAS RUNNING INTO ME alright?
0 -
Hypothetically depending on what they were doing if you record a game and a survivor is blatantly trying to help the killer win that’s reportable under the Griefing category. You can in theory get temporarily banned for obviously intentionally helping the other side win.

i would i really would IF THIS WAS THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS DAMN POST, the steve was merely an example yet for some reason everyone this damn Forum just focuses on the wrong thing

Personally as solo, I like to borrow from Dwight's quote from his Bond perk: "We have to work as a team! I need you to survive so that I can survive!".
So it's self-serving, but understanding it only takes an early death to destroy the game, and I'd rather a player who is at least trying to survive than a cop-out who just suicides on hook. An extra distraction for the killer, at least.

at least they are trying to do something which is effort

Yeah cutting your loses is a big one. Dont know how many times a ######### killer has 4kd off of a endgame hook that snowballed into oblivion

don't all killers do that according to the forums

lol sorry

"(and before anyone tells me that a sweaty build, im on sadako either i play with that build or i become worst than trapper, so please keep that in mind )"
Where is that build sweaty? Franklins is more of a meme, Corrupt is gone ater two minutes tops (do you need this at all? sadako needs no setup .. .maybe missing something here), TT is more of an information perk than gen defense, and Merciless storm is mostly stalling and a little bit regression. Perfectly fine for me. But who am I to judge, I usually run all the scourge hook perks on her ^^.

As a fully SoloQ player myself, I agree with most of what the SoloQ players here have said. It's not that I am simply looking out for myself and playing for the hatch, it's actually quite the opposite. I go into each match hoping for solid team play from at least one or two of the other Survivors. But, 4.5 years of experience with this silly game has taught me that this will NOT be the case in the vast majority of matches. I've learned to not let myself get uptight about it. It is what it is.
So, I build for stealth. Urban, Iron, Distortion, Premo. Nea The Ninja! I wear the darkest colored, non-foofyest outfit available. I use the geography and lighting of the map to my advantage wherever possible. I use the Killer's limited 1st-person perspective to my advantage wherever possible. I hide in plain sight if I need to. I'll use lockers where I can to save Distortion charges, but I actually LOVE that post-patch I can recharge it simply by being in terror radius. That's huge. I don't run everywhere I go, avoiding leaving runway lights for the Killer. Frequently, when the Killer gets around to making a hook, I am no more than 10 yards away, waiting for the Killer to leave the area.....and ensuring that the Killer is not doubling back to thwart a save.
All told, it works as well as it can.

Exactly. Appreciate who you're actually with. And it only takes one great move to change the tide.
When I was learning there was one match where I didn't do particularily well, but in the final moments the killer picked up one survivor who was dead on hook and I pulled off an absolutely flukey torchlight save through a gap in the wall. We all got out. And although I really didn't do that well through most of it, a survivor messaged me after to say "Godlike save, my dude!".
It just takes one good move at the right time, and it can make all the difference.

Another tip for Solo Queue players:
Expect to do most of the work, especially regarding gens.
1 -
well do share your build im always looking to improve

I’ve been playing a lot more solo q survivor than killer lately due to queue times being long for killer, and honesty I have been having more fun playing survivor than killer. I don’t what it is, but matches have felt very balanced and I really haven’t had terrible luck with bad teammates.
1 -
Solo Queue is the weakest of the 3, but it is nowhere near as bad as people claim it to be. It is certainly more random than the other two, but if you're especially coming over from killer you probably already understand how to play as survivor better than a pretty large number of people who play survivor only. Every time you got outplayed by a survivor, they were inadvertently giving you lessons on how to be better at the role :)
Glad you've been having good games tho. There will certainly be bad ones, but if you understand how to make things go the opposite of how the killer wants, your chances of keeping most of them positive is pretty good.

Like I wrote, just all scourge hook perks, simply because there are now four of them, with the last change to monstrous shrine ^^. So its:
SH: Monstrous Shrine (free)
SH: Floods of Rage (from Sadako)
SH: Pain Resonance (from Artist)
SH: Gift of Pain (from Pinhead)
But beware, that one is way more "sweaty" than yours ^^.

Survivor escape rate would increase dramatically if the survivor playerbase used kindred in the same way that they used the crutch old dead hard, but no, they are allergic to kindred, they prefer to whine. Survivor side is not weak at all.
0 -
like some have said some of us never used the perk(deadhard) before or after this update.
you killers need to get over deadhard it dead it can't hurt you anymore.
0 -
I am not a killer main, i started playing killer, i play mostly survivor and YES, old dead hard WAS a crutch and the most used perks, does not matter if you used or not. The core of what i said is: Survivors are allergic to kindred, they should use it like they did woth old dead hard. Simple.
0 -
well not going use kindred when it help sometime but other time it wont do anything.
don't say survivor solo is easy just because we aren't using one perk ever match with in a way swf get for free.
solo not easy no matter how many time someone say it or think it.

You're not wrong - the game wants to make everyone into a terribly selfish human being these days, but what can you do except have even greater chance now of joining someone on the hook?
Altruism kills more survivors than anything - I wonder if making selfish the way to go will end up having the intended increase in kill rates they were expecting - or less as more survivors say to hell with it and just get out. A lot of killers got their kills in end game and if devs want to kill survivors even considering an endgame rescue - well, it is what it is I guess.

Kindred always has use, especially if more than one survivor uses it. My matches with survivor (99%) are lost because of how braindead and bad some survivors on the match are, or even when i do a blunder, survivor matches are hard because of survivors themselves. Kindred is a 10/10 amd VERY underrated, everyone is allergic to it amd never uses it, altough they whine about wanting it basekit. The build i use is: SP, Kindread, prove thyself and dark sense/deliverance, this last perk can be exchanged for other one. Again: Everyone is allergic to kindred it seems like.

Altruism wins up until the last gen is repaired or someone is getting camped. At that point, it's everyone for themselves.
1 -
I used it ones and when the killer wasn't camping no one came to get me just doing gens like he was
it got it place a lot time it waste because of your teammates so it either win win or lose lose with it in solo why people want it basekit so even when no come help you it don't feel like wasted slot sometimes
all this update did was pushed people into play with friends more
I'm sure killers are facing alot more 3 man and 4 man groups now.
1 -
i actually used and still use kindred, its very useful to know when to move and if u try to save someone when the doors are powered
