I feel like solo q is a nightmare because of SWF
Simple I've noticed this unless it's a twitch SWF most SWF will not try protecting you why more then likely because your a solo q person. I've noticed a lot when I play survivor they'll not protect me but their friends will protect eachother and so on. Basically Solo q is just shoved if your not in SWF yourself your basically bound to end up not protected because your not part of the SWF.

Yeah, it can be hard being the solo to a 3man swf. In my experience, they'll either embrace you or abandon you. If they've been good team mates then I'll go down with or for them. If not, then i just play for myself.

I only play in duo, very very sometimes trio, and while I cannot speak for all swfs, we're just as inattentive with each other as we are with any player. Anytime someone is hooked we assume either one of us is going for the unhook, and we've had the "Okay do you go or I go?" "Dude I'm the one who's hooked" discussion many times.
I generally have my fun from playing with them and not particularly from escaping (even though it's always nice), so when there's a chance to save or trade with a (presumably) solo teammate during endgame I'll generally attempt it. I won't against an instadown killer or if they're in basement though, I'll assume it's reasonable to not risk a snowball.

SWF is just Easy Mode. Everybody else is playing the game on Hard.

Once you get in higher ranks, that won't often happen unless you're being selfish. Then yeah, they'll sandbag you.
It could be that you're at a skill level that your teammates don't have the experience to know what to do for every situation.

If you're playing Solo put Kindred in your build and make sure to be a useful team player. I almost always play Solo and I get teammates that save me when I need it more often than ones who don't.
If you are being a team player and helping out and not just hiding while they do all the work the team will notice it and often try to return the favor.

I don't really even see it solely as a SWF thing. If its Bubba who's guarding a basement, I wouldn't want to go for the save when me and 2 other teammates have the option to leave unharmed.
It is unfortunate if they don't go for the save, but I wouldn't count it being that bad.

SWF is what makes and breaks this game.

Just go a full solo build and play for yourself.
Gen, unhook if its very safe, open gates and walk out.

I can promise you it's not the SWF element of the game forcing the Nea to DC because she got mindgamed at a long wall within the first 30 seconds of the game.

I honestly don't even know where people see this stuff, most of the time if I'm solo and with a 3man they do stuff like good saves on me just like on eachother. Like 2man saves where one takes a hit, runs off and the other saves to prevent a trade. When they do leave me on the hook it's in the situations where I genuinely want to applaud them for doing so. Please do when it's a killer like Bubba just camping me to death not even near any generators or ... anything else, lmao.
Not saying people are lying, before someone takes it that way, I just don't experience it. And back when I did play in teams bigger than 2mans like ever whenever we did a 3man we actually had a pretty good time making getting the solo out by any means necessary a fun side objective 😄

True if im put with a 2 man or 3 man SWF they always prioritise throwing BM'ing and being toxic towards the killer rather than doing gens and throwing the entire match because of it, they leave us "randoms" on hook.

this does still happen at high ranks because mmr will throw 10k hour players in with 200 hour players. my last 3 games before Iri 1 last month were an absolute mess, with awful survivors on my team compared to the great teammates i had for a few games before that. there is no way i could have dropped mmr out of those earlier games, and then i was stuck with the worst teammates straight after. i impressed the killers being the last alive in those few games, soloing generators and escaping through the gates, or looping till the spirit decided he respected my play and just let me open the door. final game was a double pip with all Iri emblems but again, it relied somewhat on killer mercy as otherwise i would surely have lost my unbroken iri when it was 1v1
there are just so many random factors that can break a solo queue team, even morale is at stake from the outset of a solo match, with the crack of the nurse being enough to break the resolve of many, who may actually feel somewhat traumatised from the strings of bad games they've had before.
being stuck with an SWF, sure sometimes they've been helpful and we've cooperated very well, but i have been betrayed a lot of times by them as well, the worst being a couple weeks ago when i 99'ed a door then unhooked their SWF pal while they healed, only to have them deliberately dodge hatchets while the other 2 were still uninjured and i was trying to get them to take a hit (no expose). the 3 of them just ran straight out the door. i had done half the generators in that match, a little looping, and me and the SWF mikaela were both 0hook at this point. maybe they were just so unconfident in their ability to save me, they all had decent hours played so i really think they were just kinda bad and didn't care to even try to save me in return.

I know ######### still happens in high rank, but it happens less. The times I get sandbagged by a SWF or left to die *just because* happens so infrequently that to me it's a non-issue. The team usually dies because someone's doing a challenge, ######### around too much looting chests, tries to style too hard on a killer, or just genuinely loses because the killer is good. Usually has nothing to do with SWF ######### me over just because I'm the random.
Sometimes the play is just to leave. Sometimes the play is to die on hook so you don't feed the killer even more. Sometimes the play is to purposely go down at 0-hook state-- giving teammates a reason to help you because they're not death-hook. A lot of players are spiteful or they don't want to risk a death if they can't afford it. And yeah, sometimes it will happen at high rank, but like I said, it is not often. 1 in 30 maybe if that? 1 in 50? I can put in 10-15 games a night and I can go weeks in between times I feel I get ######### over on purpose. It's not once a night or every other night, that's for sure. That's why I don't think this particular issue is a big deal.
There are some good points people make with why solo queue is bad, but blaming it on SWF ain't it.

game wouldnt survive without it. most swf arent all that great.....but in these forums it would lead you to believe they were. people being bad with certain killers is what really breaks this game. because they are the real problem. in the right hands any killer is viable. thats the concept people here cant understand.

See most SWF's aren't playing the game to sweat... they play to play
But some SWF's are playing as if their life is on the line
If they put in-game comms then they can tune it (but I doubt that)
This whole entire game is vicious cycles... one after another
And this is one of them

That's one perspective.

Once I was paired in old RPD with SWF and one of them was a streamer. At some point, I got hooked and they spent some of their time healing, but most of it was wasted clicking and teabagging the killer for clips. None of them even tried to come to my rescue and I died on my first hook.

That's not really true. The high level SWFs will still totally ditch you when appropriate. Yeah, they won't leave you on first hook or anything, but they will blame you for everything, they will dump the killer on you in favor of their friends, and never expect them to come back for you at the end.
In my experience, you don't really notice a difference with 2-mans, but 3-mans either go full "get down Mr. President" on the rando or they're totally leaving them out to dry.
(That said, I should edit in that I think this is only a very small part of the problems that plague solo queue.)

I mostly swf, specially on the times i duo, my games end with my friend on discord saying "you always try helping the randoms and this is what you get" so no i beg to differ,, solo players have the worst attitude in my games, only exception is the budget bully squads that are both terrible at the game and ultra obnoxious at the same time
