Just went into a solo queue match since the update dropped

Maybe the years of solo queue has desensitized me to dying all the time but I'm actually pretty happy with that last patch and where it put Solo Queue.

While there are certainly things that could make it better and more in line with SWF (specifically those icons that were supposedly in development at one time but evidently they've changed their mind or something), I like the much more difficult survival in the current state of the game. I can go up against M1 killers and actually feel somewhat threatened and escaping actually feels like I accomplished something now instead of just stomping some baby killer.

Campers are still a major problem but campers were a major problem pre-patch too and I've yet to hear a suggestion that I didn't think was either easy to abuse by survivors, unfair to killers whose only option is to camp at the time, or both.

Started playing SoloQ since the patch, it's not that bad. Objectives are boring though.

Baby killer was probably the wrong word. I should have stuck with M1 killer :D

I don't think your complaint is invalid, it's more about what you want out of the game. For me, I like the more...competitive for lack of a better term edge that the update gave the game. I feel like surviving should be rare in a game like this and the only reason you do so is because either the killer is actually a baby killer (in which case, they shouldn't be playing against me but this MMR is goofy sometimes) or because I actually played very well.

There is absolutely work to be done still as there are some perks that are heavily stacked against the solo queue player (something like Overcharge sucks for Solo because you have no way to communicate to others what's going on so you might get a gen almost done, have it get Overcharged, and lose everything just because you couldn't tell anyone to go tap that gen while you were hanging around on the hook) but personally I like the direction the patch took the game in. But I can understand why others may not, especially if you prefer the more casual nature the game had.

In high mmr you have to tunnel/camp basically if you're not playing nurse or blight. Good survivors still do the gens fast and can loop well. In middle mmr I think tunneling or camping is less common because they're not needed. Super tunneling ofcourse is more rare in high mmr where you focus on one survivor and ignore rest of them. You can usually down and hook other survivors but you have to priorisate that you target one survivor bit more.

It's pretty unbearable to people farming you because hue hue 5 second borrowed time to people insta killing themselves no matter what situation

I keep getting games where my teammates get downed more then doing gens then I can basically only save and then before I know the game is over

They wouldnt have buffed the killers if there wasnt an actual issue with the kill rates so yeah im sure the biggest problem still lies on the survivors themselfs and not leaning against very strong perks like DH and endgame DS.

Dcs and insta rage quits are the biggest issue for me not the fact that killers are playing well. I still see survivors that can loop even good killers very well while others do gens and dont hide in corners. Usually these matches end 3-4 survivors getting out of the matches.

Also the fact that you say going against a good killer is not fun just tells me all i need to know... I love going against good killers that dont lean on tunneling and camping anyone but kill survivors with their actual skill. I dont mind losing at all to them and i always give them props at the endgame chat

Yeah 😴 last paragraph is funny pretty sure you rarely touch solo Q, tunneling is still the best way to win for good or bad killers it doesn't matter, it's at an all time high right now because it's easy, effective and DS is dead, the game rewards it massively

if you enjoy solo Q good for you but some things need to be fixed it has nothing to do with DCs

+1

You don't need to be in a vacuum. Every thread I have looked at since joining the forums he has been there saying completely survivor sided things. I'm all for balance, but one sided opinions in a vacuum is bad.

You are @ing someone who I know is completely against the killer changes that pretty much only affect killers below S-tier outside of gen slowdown, im not sure about the other guy but you are essentially creating a vacuum depending on him. I am not "attacking him" nor am I trolling your posts. You essentially said "this patch is unplayable for survivors am I right guys who agree with me?"

You don't have less resources they have simply changed. Unless you are going against iri tag blight/ nurse it is quite literally a skill issue. I am not discounting that mmr has been terrible for a descent amount of players since the patch dropped. But me as a blight player with extremely high mmr am going against survivors who are performing much better in every way just with a different meta, not because of there perks but because high mmr has shifted to the actual good survivors instead of the e,w, pre throw survivors. These survivors aren't just SWFS, they are also solo queue. Everyone except low mmr PLAYERS have been unaffected by these changes other than E survivors. This game and no game in general will every be balanced around low mmr, high mmr survivors are doing just fine with a few outliers. I do agree solo queue needs some information buffs but that is all.

I think survivors objective can extend longer, but not on Gen, they should go back to 80sec but add something else. Then further nerf Gen perks

With many perks that affect Gen perk recently (better than new, hyper focus, and Haddie totem perk), its still possible to Gen rush.

BUT I really think hook time should be extended to 90sec (3min for both hook stages instead of 2min) to punish campers, not with perk. Old DS should be basekit too, for tunnelers

Should not use perks just to prevent camping,tunneling,gen rush
