Data I Collected Over 250 Matches Has Something To Say...

I stated at the top of the post that the matches that I used the data from were not from consecutive matchups and breaks were taken between playing (normally a few days between because I was literally losing my mind from Eruption), during the breaks I would play other games entirely; every match of Survivor I had played, I collected data for though. But Im not really sure if it would create inaccuracies or not so I put a disclaimer regardless.

Another thing to note, is that with most of my data, Eruption was the most used perk in the gen-kicking meta. Overcharge and Call Of Brine still saw high usage, but I faced many killers that either used Overcharge + Eruption, or Call of Brine + Eruption. SH: PR and Jolt also saw a lot of usage due to it's synergy with the perks as well.

I collected data including how many generators were completed, items brought (and addons), killers used, how many times each survivor was hooked and what amount of generators remained when they were hooked, maps played on, offerings used, etc. A lot of my matches were recorded so after the match I had to rewatch to get the information put down properly.

I wrote A LOT down, and a lot of it is somewhat organized in an Excel sheet I made, though counting all of the data was time consuming, the perks counted were still in the spread sheet but I used a separate application to keep track of the perks used since it was probably the hugest amount of data to keep track of.

I plan on doing this again in a few months once things get changed a lot more, and new perks are introduced, etc. It's kind of a pain in the rear but I love seeing everything come together after all the time and effort invested.

I would always advise starting with a fresh slate.

Also for formatting, you can typically just do whatever you want with it, since Im not sure what data you exactly want to capture. It's also important to format it in a way that makes best sense for you, some of my formatting is weird but it makes sense for me, so I do it, but it's something I would never do in a professional setting so it might not work for you or make sense; Id recommend experimenting until you find something that works for you specifically.

As for learning Excel, there are several YouTube tutorials that can help, Im use to using Excel since Ive used it a lot when tracking stuff required for my degree in Art Education, and when I first started using Excel, I heavily leaned on YouTube because there are a lot of amazing tutorials out there to use.

I hoped this helped.

I typically play in SWF when I play Survivor, so Im not too use to the SoloQ experience since I only really play SoloQ to do Archive challenges. My escape rate with SWF is significantly higher (I havent recorded my SWF data, so I cannot provide a %, but I know I escape more times than I die) which probably lead me to be at a high MMR range.

Another thing is that I purposely avoided teammate information perks; Kindred, Bond, and Empathy were off limits, I wanted to get the raw SoloQ experience (NAE).

The build I ran for almost every game was Dead Hard, Adrenaline/Off The Record, Hope, Renewal to try and prevent me from getting tunneled out, but even with this build I still got tunneled out for a decent amount of matches, which is why my escape rate is so low. Taking hits as well was kind of pointless since most Killers will just slug and chase relentless, so a lot of my teammates just stuck to generators instead.

Most matches basically resulted in a Survivor getting tunneled out or DCing at 4-3 generators remaining, with, as mentioned before, me getting caught at the end of this a decent amount of matches; and with stacked slowdown bringing the matches to an unwinnable state, Survivors either gave up or tried to power through an unwinnable situations and obviously fail.

Also I mentioned the perks in a reply, albeit I never really talked about Survivor perks, mainly because the only perks that were consistently seen throughout the matches were Dead Hard, Lithe, and Sprint Burst; AKA, just exhaustion perks. I was honestly kind of surprised by the lack of Overcome users but after the shadow-nerf where it no longer procs after an Endurance hit, I can see why. Adrenaline appears to kind of be making a comeback in the meta, I saw it a lot throughout my matches, ignoring exhaustion perks it was among the most used perk with 38% (285 / 750) of Survivors bringing it.

Ive been in this thread answering questions whenever I can, so if you have any more questions or statements I can respond to, I am willing to provide an answer.
