The game is in its most unplayable state ever for solo

I havent heard it refered to that, but it sounds like the new strat of prioritizing two survivors and rotating them to maintain pressure and scare them into being less risky when on death hook. Generally you only go after the other 2 survivors for slug pressure, or if they can be downed and hooked with minimal commitment. Its still technically tunneling, but its probably the most even middleground for how the game is currently balanced. If you ever find yourself as one of the two, you want to become ghost when on death hook, and always run away from any pressure positions on the map as soon as the killer sees you in order to minimize its effectiveness.

I am in the position of thinking that neither camping nor tunneling is a problem, and that if the targeted survivor is dissatisfied by it, some changes should be made regarding it.

Yes, I think you are correct. I just learned the word toggle tunneling lol.

I was well aware that there is a derived language about camping. Face camp, proxy camp, gen camp, Franklin camp, Insidious camp, gate camp, pallet camp.... .etc etc etc.

But it was kind of interesting to me because it is rare to hear a derivative language about tunneling.

All I know is, 1,1,1,hard tunneler, 1,1,2,1,tunneler! And gen tunneling! That was about it.

About that first point with the " Survs DC because they cant bully the killer"

I actually played a bunch of killer recently because with the amount of tunnelers and campers (at least on EU) you'll have more fun watching paint dry than playing Survivor. (Its so bad there at this point that i've gotten post game compliments for not staring in the eyes of the survivor i just hooked till they die) I've had killer matches with up to 3 DCs because i wouldnt fall for their flashlight or pallet saves.

I've gone against survivor bully squads quite a lot too, flashlights, toolboxes, all the meta perk SWFs. Maybe 2 of these ended with more than 1 or 2 escapes at most while i had suboptimal stuff due to leveling killers since i never bothered to do so before the prestige rework.

Hell, i went and adept-ed 5 killers in one sitting, including Pyramid Head, Nurse and Blight because i felt like it with yellow perks and little sweat

The point is: right now, this game is so unbelievably Killer sided (from someone who plays both) that claiming survivor-sided-ness is on the level of delusion rivaling the Flat-earth society.

You misread. I said every other game. And yeah, it's pretty close to that. Maybe a little less, but not that much.

I don't stream. I'm not even a good survivor or anything. I'm getting pretty good at killer, but most of the survivors I play against as killer can pull tricks I couldn't even dream of. I just think that MMR is doing its job; I seem to be as likely to escape as I am to die.

I haven't done any math, but open exit gates have definitely become a more common sight lately.

Is anyone else shocked that all the icon suggestions involve the icons being a reduced sized icon that is superimposed onto the survivor portrait, where it would be unnecessarily difficult to see when certain graphic effects are happening to the survivor portraits? Does anyone really want to play “what’s that icon” when a survivor portrait has madness static overlapping most of the icon?

Why haven’t any of the suggestions involved the icon being the same size as a survivor portrait, and being NEXT to the survivor portrait so we can actually tell what icon it is?

I never said I had "almost 100%". Stop putting words in my mouth. I said that it's maybe a little bit less than fifty. Every other game is 50%. And it might not be exactly 50%, but I'm escaping enough games that I don't feel uncomfortable when I play.

I played three games this morning. I escaped one out of the three (and the first one didn't count because I had to go AFK because my pasta was boiling over).

I think the thing that helps my survival rate the most is just doing gens. In a lot of solo games, I do three out of the five, because everyone else wants to do other things. I definitely feel like I have to do the heavy lifting there, but it is what it is. You don't do gens, you don't live.

Maybe the fact that you're a good survivor actually affects your survival rate in a negative way. I'm at mid-MMR at best as survivor, so I don't have to deal with Nurse and Blight every other game.

Are people complaining about people who are complaining about solo q in dbd?

Playing dbd with 4 friends is literally the only balanced way to play survivor in this game. You can run fun builds, you can run tryhard builds. You can do silly and wacky things.

And then solo q. I don't even know where to start. It is ridiculous. And even after 6 years they still haven't fixed it. But they changed core game mechanics like the speed boost after a hit. They reduced the cd after a hit. They nerfed gens, again. They added base BT. they're about to change the whole gameplay around downed survivors by giving them the basekit opportunity to pick themselfs up - that's crazy. They would like to add MORI to the basekit.

But it's still impossible to add more coordination to the team to the basekit? Like, what? Still no Bond basekit, Still no Kindred basekit, Still no icons that tell you what your teammate is doing. No opportunity to set markers everyone else except the killer can see. Nothing.

You still can do all 7 gens and 2 exit gates the most efficient way possible (as everyone should play a game) and the category were not even close to be maxed out. The weird and wacky way to get BPs in dbd is completely misleading on how to play the game correctly. For doing a single gen you should earn at least 4k points and not just 1250? Dafuq?

Yea it's just bad and people are asking for changes for years now. Instead we've got Map updates no one asked for. They stopped fixing map while updating maps but people asked for that for years. They're changing tons of core mechanics no one asked for. Idk. I'm hoping this game is about to die slowly but surely. People start making mods again and some intelligent people out there give us the game in state where it was fun to play.

The irony in this.

That's not true.

They also don't like making simple number changes until they're basically forced to.

I would agree but most of the time people DC or suicide on hook it's for pretty petty reasons. If you dislike the game vote with your playtime and stop playing it, simple as.

People always say this, Like I tunnel maybe 1 in 20 games in a super sweaty game. And guess what? No one dc's the sweaty game just when they get downed fast vs 0 gen regression blight with some of his middle of the ground add-ons. Sorry you suck and got downed in 20 seconds. That's what majority of my DC's are and I consider DCing myself everytime it happens early because the game is over and boring. They say iti's not worth it before there is no chance of being tunneled in my games XDXD

sorry

Perhaps your attitude and willingness to give up is what's keeping you in low MMR? Everytime you just give up your MMR lowers.

To add to this, its also important to keep in mind how MMR shifts work: The bigger the gap between you and your opponent, the more the outcome shifts each players values. So if one of your matches where you give up ends up being vs a wee lil babby killer with low MMR, you will lose more from that match than you would going against a sweat elemental forged in the depths of 3am swf queues. Likewise if you beat the lil ragamuffin with a sharp/blunt object, you gain less than if you manage to topple a particularly ruthless killer. Its a big part of why MMR being hidden makes it extremely difficult to track, but its also there to make sure that agency and effort both carry similar weight to actual mechanical skill.

And the award for Most Overly-Dramatic Headline goes to...

Other than reporting them though, what can BHVR do about that?

Very true. It's not possible to get perfect teammates and it's not possible to play perfectly; everyone makes mistakes. I don't sweat it if someone makes what turns out to be a bad call. At least they're trying and learning like everyone else and, besides, it's done and I make mistakes as well. It's time to adapt and/or learn and move on.

You took it that way, thats on you. The edit was stating that there can be plenty of reasons, by design, that players make plays that others consider bad. I also never called you a bad player, just pointed out that your behavior is exactly the type of behavior that bad players do. I can't separate the two any more politely than I already have, and the fact you're firing off impossible hypotheticals as justification is exactly why I said it. We all know there are situations you're not going to be able to win with the game, and good players shake them off and move on. A good player realizes their own personal input is all they have control over, and do their best with what they have available in the millions of other variables in any given match. They don't complain about the impossible, they do what they can to avoid it, and they don't internalize when it happens.

No is not solo is fine if you are good at the game
