My Least Favorite thing about Solo Q

I can understand when people dislike gens as the only objective for survivors. I think many people would be happy if survivors had a second objective. But I personally, and I think many people, would disagree with the severity of the problem.

Scott Jund made a video on why he actually enjoys being tunneled, because it means he is being chased all game and doesn't have to do gens which he finds boring. And that can be understandable. However most responses to that in the comment section always had the same point. It's a good mixture of both that most people find so enjoyable. Working on gens is the more chill and relaxing part. Just like doing other objectives such as healing or cleansing totems.

I also think you can not reduce these objectives, especially healing or cleansing totems, to just the holding M1 actions you do. When sitting on a gen for example, you are also hitting skill checks, and more importantly, are always keeping an eye out for killer to react when you need to. With totems, you also first have to find them before cleansing them. And you do that all while trying to evade the killer.

So personally, I very much enjoy survivors depsite gens and other actions forcing me to just hold a button. As long as there is enough variety going on. If I just do gens the entire game, of course that match was just a bit boring. But in general, I don't think it's that much of a big deal. I for one, and seemingly a lot of people, have a bigger problem with camping, tunneling, and Nurse.

Pretty valid video. Makes me think that regression perks or ones that make gens hard to do are some of the worst games I've played on dbd. Skillcheck doctors are right up there with nurse sweats for me.

here is the thing with Solo Q. SWF is the thing the game is balanced around. They perform much better because of the unfair advantages through coms, and unless they completely remove the swf option from online games (they could keep it in custom games) the game will always be balanced around them. Simple. I kind of find it ridiculous because the mindgame is a big part of the game and swf communication pretty much denies that, feels like cheating, it will never change, unless they restrict that to custom games. Until then Solo Q will have to deal with unfair balance, because simply buffing Solo in some way compared to SWF is not going to happen

I agree, there is more to it. Also looking for clues like what perks are the killer using, add-ons, perks of survivor teammates etc.

But I can't argue that playing survivor is a lot of M1 and having friends to play with is 100000000000 times better than solo :)
