Survivors literally unplayable

ppl still DC immediately after down this is ridiculous

you should at least retain some of your ranks after rank reset. not all the way to Ash.

    Also dont forget, any lost due to DC wont count for stats, so killrate is around 80% at very least.

    Game is only for playing as killer, or at night when your friends online to play in 4 SWF on comms

    The problem with soloQ is that you heavily rely on your team to play well on your first minutes of the game.

    Many games it is one or two mistakes and the killer easily snowballs to a 4k

    Yeah solo changes are a must soon. Any team based game has pinging as a feature now basically (Deep rock, Back 4 blood, Apex, OW, Valorant even CS:GO)

    Can’t imagine it’s too hard to implement and even a simple ping like “Killer chasing me” or “Gen almost done” would be game changing

    The survivors aren't a team, it's 1v1 x 4 not 1v4 remember

    They dropped that narrative after the game came out just like how this was a hide and seek game. Fact is it’s a 4v1 and lacks communication between the 4 which sucks

    As long as it is written in the book of manners they have that they are allowed to DC at any time in online games, it will never change.

    With the childish conduct of many of my random solo team mates, giving them the ability to communicate directly with me in game would honestly make me quit DBD, or at the very least quit playing survivor unless I had a full SWF.

    Anything is preferable to this

    Console players don't use pings, I know this from experience. There's a game I play on Playstation that has a ping system and it feels like I'm the only one making use out of it. I'll be saying "I need healing"! over and over and they still ignore me.

    Base kindred with status icons might be better imo

    JFC how bright is your game?

    If I'm managing as a solo survivor on console where the Swamp is literally pitch black in some places, what's your excuse as a PC player with full 360's on low graphics settings and a constant spotlight illuminating the entire map?

    There are a lot of problems with solo survivor. SBMM for survivor has been de-tuned to the point that it's pretty much selecting 4 random people in queue to play together. A lot of the killer meta requires coordination to play around and solos don't have any way to do it.

    The way BHVR chose to address the complaints with SBMM was ridiculous. Good killers weren't having issues with it. Killers that relied on weak solo players were having issues with it. Instead of addressing the power gap between solo queue and SWF that exists in the top 5% and allowing killer MMR to settle, they made a knee-jerk reaction and screwed over every solo player by lowering the soft cap by 300 points and buffing killers.

    BHVR's knee-jerk reaction is to always attempt to buff average players in a contrived manner and alienate their skilled players on one side or the other. Good killers were not struggling pre-6.1. But average killers were after the softcap was lowered and they started facing players well outside of their skill range. What did they do? Lower the softcap more and buff killers. Sorry solo survivors at the top end. Hope you enjoy teammates with 30% of your hours now. And now killers like myself 4k at 3/4 gens instead of 1/2 gens.

    Jesus...think this is the highest I've seen someone sharpen their game.
