Solo Q Vent Post
Yeah. Solo Q is awful. Seriously, why does anyone play it?
I got left on hook from 1st to death AFTER I had been Reassurance'd TWICE.
I think, "Oh well, just some bad luck."
The very next game, exact same thing, except it's a Tombstone Myers. He just sits in front of me, Stalking and nobody even comes close to grabbing me. They just sit and t-bag in front of him and let him 99 his power. The girl who hide the entire game in and out of lockers gets out through the Gate because it spawned poorly for the Myers.
It's just been awful today and my Killer queues are exceeding 10 minutes, can't imagine why.

Yeah I'm kinda sick of it, especially since I keep getting tunneled out by several weskers. I'm just gonna take a break/not play until something interesting happens with the game.

My soloq games have also been awful. I keep getting put on teams with people who constantly hide, crouch/run about, don't do gens. One of my games the meg constantly left the gen and crouched about when someone was downed. Another game one person literally led the killer to me (I was hooked) when in a chase so no one else could save me and I died on my first hook. They never commit to gens and rinse the map of palettes by pre-dropping like crazy.
I can't even play killer because the queue times are just horrible and I don't want to wait about for 10 minutes just to find a match.

What do you mean killer queues are exceeding 10 minutes, they implemented queue incentives which must've fixed the problem! Now you can get 10k bloodpoints instead of 5k for being left on the hook in soloQ!

Lol I'm being treated to those double BPs for dying early. Love it! I haven't seen any incentives active for killer yet :(
3 -
yeah I've had nothing but bad soloq matches all afternoon
if I'm not working on a gen then one never gets done, but I can't work on gens because I get chased all game
nothing better than running the killer for ages only to go down and see two auras crouching around the map
(the third has been in a locker for three years)

if you can believe it I saw a 50% bonus incentive for killer last night for approximately 15 minutes

I think if SoloQ is a plaything for killer-players, they need to give bonus in Auric Cells. It would be a salary as a service employee, because just entertain killer is not fun, then it's a job.

I play it because it's fun and I like it? You people are insane. If you're not enjoying a video game, don't play it.

It still wouldn't be worth the agony that is the average Solo Q match.

This is a venting thread as the title states. Believe it or not people can enjoy things and still be annoyed from time to time. Don't come into a thread with the sole purpose of being offended at others opinions and "venting" to get things off their chest. Also calling people "insane" is truly unhinged. Be nicer to people.

I am insane for wanting something to be better.
I am insane for needing to vent my frustrations about a very bad mode.
I'd say it's more insane to pretend that Solo Q is fine, but I don't need to attack people to get my point across.
15 -
I have yet to see any Killer incentives.
7 -
No, it says vent post. Not thread. OP did that. Then I expressed my utterly rational viewpoint. I have fun with DBD regardless of what role I play. It's a good game and I enjoy it. If you feel otherwise the only logical thing to do is literally anything else.
3 -
The fact that I still end up being well over half the collective brain of most of my solo queue teams has to tell you something.
7 -
You and me both man.
7 -
You're really nit picking post vs thread? OK. Thank you for your less than helpful contribution to this discussion. Saying "you people are insane" isn't a rational viewpoint. It's just plain rude.

Survivors have been nerfed sooooo much, the will to try is fading amongst all survivors.
I know for me, the harder you try the effort is simply drained down a toilet because all it takes is the power of the killer.
The devs did a pretty good job making killers an "unstoppable force". They need to reconsider that awful idea. They might be bad at playing killer but the majority of the player base is not struggling with killer.
11 -
It makes the matches where you get even one other teammate you can work with that much more memorable.
But in general, yeah, solo queue is a potato-fest. Or full of SWF trolls. Got teabagged on my first hook and left to die last night because I dared to cleanse totems, like I'm supposed to automatically know they had a dedicated booner. Four gens left when they did that, too. Crazy.
4 -
People just dont wanna admit that the average player isselfish and lazy and sees dbd as a "me vs the killer" game where teammates are just a resource to be used as if they were a pallet.
2 -
Just play killer bro, it's worth the wait. Leave solo q to rot of it's own accord.
5 -
Ok I don't know about anyone else but has anyone been left to die on hook or reach second stage a ton more after 6.1.0?? The amount of times im just left on hook is astonishing.

What makes solo queue so unbearable, Pulsar?
0 -
I feel like I already summed it up.

I'm going to share something direct and honest. You won't like it, but you must heed it: You've gotta carry the match, Pulsar. From the killer players in this forum, I've discovered that as a veteran player the expectation is that you..
- Loop for the gods. You must keep the killer occupied most of the time, without going down.
- Complete 2-3 gens, probably by yourself.
- Safely unhook and heal other survivors when needed.
If you can do all of that, you'll have earned an enjoyable solo queue game experience--at least per a plurality of killer mains on this forum.

Thank the rift. It might improve in a week or two when everyone is done with their challenges. The best time to play is when the rift is closed and during events, really.
It's 2022 and cosmetics have become more important than gameplay.

What a game changer. Especially considering how the bloodweb is so much fun! (Sarcasm)

I've seen 100% bp bonus for killer more times than I can count. You just have to play in the middle of the night, is all.
So set your alarm! Just kidding. Don't set your alarm.

people play, im inlcuded, because like the game and, like me, believe always will be better next match, empty hope. but, yeah game never was bad like now days. Play solo is anoying of frustrating now. Maybe solo players will leave the game or change to killers over the time if nothing do about solo experience. All frustration has a limit.
2 -
I think you might be onto something. I think auric cells would honestly be a good incentive to play solo survivor. It really does feel like a job.
1 -
I think that some people have spent a lot of money on this game and that their investment keeps them playing whether they're enjoying it or not.

As soon as the 4th level of the tome opened, I was left on hook in the majority of the games I played.

Eh, most people just straight up suck at this game (myself included). Which means most of the random people you play with in solo queue are, surprise, going to suck.
If you don't want to deal with solo, just don't play solo. I know I certainly don't ever play solo survivor. It's a team role, after all. There are literally thousands of DbD discord servers you can join, and you can nearly instantly get a full team of four competent players with as little effort as typing "Swf?"
I get you're just venting, but the solution to your problem already exists.

More like complete 5 gens.
This game is turning into Track & Field from Nintendo NES. Everyone is way too busy running around, doing squats or hanging out in the locker room.

Solo q sucks right now. MMR ######### up dbd
2 -
I ask myself that most days. I seriously can’t find another game to replace DBD as my main. I just keep chasing that high of playing DBD in the good ole Red Rank era, but I don’t think I’ll get that again.
Why are your killer ques so high? I hear a lot of players say that as well, but mine are pretty decent. I wait maybe 4 mins tops? What MMR do you suspect you’re in, Region, and time of day do you play? I play on NA servers, suspect I am in low-mid MMR, and play all different times of the day, with the same low wait time.
0 -
NA, all day but usually later and whatever MMR Tofu plays in. Can't stop finding him multiple times a night.
0 -
Yea then most likely its your killer MMR- it’s probably pretty high.
0 -
i feel your pain luv. hopefully it will all be over soon. solo q buffs soon enough, have faith.

Solo queue has always been terrible now that the average killer is actually capable of competing with buffs and dh no longer artificially extends some chases by a lot solo queue has finally fallen apart.
1 -
I can just describe you a lot of the average solo Q matches I have:
Trial starts, it's a Ghost face in this particular example, but introduce any other killer. I bless a totem next to a centric generator (people don't understand the importance of getting generators in the middle out of the way ASAP) and start repairing. About 10% in and since the match started, there is a Nea that has been crouching inside the gas station on Autohaven, while this other Kate was chased for the incredible amount of 20 seconds, and another Dwight repairs one of the corners of the map. As per usual.
Kate goes down, she gets hooked, I'm about 30% on the generator now, Dwight goes to farm Kate, he goes down in front of the hook. I'm expecting Dwight to at least crawl away so I can either get him up or attempt a hook save. He just stays there. Nea goes from crouching inside the gas station to going into a locker (I have bond). I manage to bait the GF to hit Kate before she dies, I unhook her, take the hit, and sprint to Dwight's body and get him up. Kate gets downed again instantly, and Dwight follows 5 seconds later.
Now the Ghost Face is on me, I'm injured, and in the 20 seconds Kate took to go down, she managed to use 3 strong pallets, including shack pallet. I keep seeing Nea now crouching around the edges of the map. Two survivors are still bleeding out on the ground. At that point, I just bait Nea. I make sure the GF finds her, he downs me, and then chases her. The chase lasts about 10 seconds.
Everyone dies. with 5 generators left.
"ThIs iS LoW MmR"
Except that it isn't. Because next match it'll be a tournament Blight player with 6k hours, and 3-4k hours survivors. And two matches from that it'll be a 800 hours Nurse with 1-2k hours survivor. It's all over the ######### place.
The state of solo Q is so unbelievably bad, a lot of the survivors (even the ones with thousands of hours) are so unaccountably incompetent, and there's so much tunnel and camp that the survivors don't know how to play around, that you will have to play 20 matches to get 1 decent game.
To this day, I still think that Nea is in a locker somewhere.

Solo Q was the worst gaming experience before 6.1. Now it's even worse. I am happy Killers got the QoL they wanted, but solo is really bad now.
What I don't like about how my games go now is not that I die 8/10 games. I died about 60-70% even before the patch. But at least I felt I had a chance before, dying at 1 gen left or in the EGC is fair. Now I die at 4 gens remaining, a lot. The Killer has 2 survivors on death hook while only 1 gen has popped etc. It is just hopeless. We get stomped so much. And that is by every Killer, not just Nurse/Blight. The insane slowdown X chase buffs X nerfs of survivors perks is a lot. It's basically 1 or 2 mistakes being done by a survivor that hurts the team too much. Time management is just not good enough for solo to be good.
There should at least be an option to choose to have voice coms, see other survivors loadouts and ping or action symbols in the HUD. Something!
The biggest problem here is matchmaking. Competent SWF's can still do just fine, they eliminate the surprise of teammate skill and can coordinate their loadouts to synergize.

Here's my one and probably only Solo Q match today.
Gotta love challenges that promote throwing.
