Cannot Pip Up on Solo Q

Yea, pretty much unless you are in a good SWF or you are a juking looping god that makes Nurses cry, you're not going to get very high, especially not in Solo Q. Hell, you make it to gold you're doing better than me.

"Oh, getting Iridescent I isn't about skill, it's just how much you play."

While I do agree that you can have those days or nights where ranking up is near impossible, I won't say you can't pip up in solo que. Just gotta do a lot more work to compensate for those types of teammates.

I was gold 1 last night and needed 2 pips to hit Iridescent.

Won my first match & got out, pip. Immediately after, went against a Wesker who just tunneled & even face camped me, while teammates just unhooked me for points and ran off, no bodyblocks, no taking a hit, etc. Depipped.

Next match, a Freddy on Swamp. 2 of my teammates were death hook and we had 1 gen left. Eventually, he started to catch me and I was soon death hook. Kid you not, the Meg & David who were on death hook weren't even trying to do a gen, they just walked around in the corners of the map too afraid to do anything. Thankfully the other person who hadn't been hooked (who was trying to help me repair the final gen) got it done and we all got out. +2 pipped into Iridescent, called it a night there lol.

Being stuck in gold for a month...yea IDK bout that. I'd assume you're not playing well or efficiently. We all get those teammates that D/C, snowball the match or just kill themselves on hook, it sucks but you should still find some matches to +pip if you focus on a little bit of everything. Even in some matches where my teammates have D/C'd or killed themselves, I've surprised myself and pip'd.

But yea, solo que is very bad. No disagreements there.

I am surprised noone has asked this but what is your build? I honestly don't think pipping in solo should be hard, escaping is a different story. Pipping with survivors generally follows something like the 2x2x2 rule. 2 good chases, 2 gens and 2 unhooks. 2 perks I think help out tremendously with solo are, Kindred and Distortion. Kindred because you can ensure unhooking is safer and that you dont waste time going for an unhook when someone else is already there. Distortion, one of the best survivor perks in general IMO, gives you information on the killers perks, and prevents you from being the target frequently. We'll make it can also help with your benevolence emblem. Bring a med kit unless multiple people are, in that case bring COH and a map that can track totems, less likely to get franklins. Information is your best friend in solo queue so aura reading perks will be the most helpful outside of your chase perk (possibly more helpful than your chase perk). Windows of Opp, Fogwise, Alert, Bond, and Empathy are great additions to know where your safe spots are, teammates are, and the killer is. If you make a build with 1 stealth perk, 1 assist perk, 1 chase perk, and 1 info perk you should do well. (example could be Distortion, Kindred, Lithe and Fogwise).

Don't treat solo queue like SWF when it comes to your build. Meme builds are much harder to pull off and some great GREAT perks and items lose a lot of value in solo. Like Adrenaline is often very powerful because a teammate can trigger it while youre in chase. If you dont have a health state loss and are not in chase its actually a hinderance as it exhausts you. Toolboxes are weaker too because its hard to coordinate which gens you are doing to know which gen needs prioritizing. Deliverance, Prove thyself, Reassurance, Kinship, For the People, Botany Knowledge all work better with a team knowing you have them or helping you use them.

The DC/hook-suicides are clearly messing the chances to pip.

I did read it. Yes and I said some nights or days you will have those. It happens. 3 nights ago I played 5 matches and someone either D/C'd or killed themselves on hook at 5 or 4 gens, in all 5 of those matches, I did not live and I lost 3 pips. I ended up closing the game after that cause I just felt 'whats the point'. But to not move out of gold in 1 months time? Nah that's partially on you. I've also had matches where 1-2 people kill themselves on hook at 5/4 gens, just because of the killer they're facing and I still manage to +pip or at the very least, black pip.

Ex. Faced a Spirit almost a week ago, 2 of my teammates got caught at the very beginning and both wanted to kill themselves on hook. Eventually they succeeded but me and the Vittorio who stayed in the match, decided to just try for points, we still did gens when the other was being chased, we still went and saved each other every time (thankfully Spirit was nice enough to not just sit at hook and actually let us save each other each hook state), and she didn't tunnel one of us, she took turns chasing both of us. In the end we still died, but I +pip'd. Pretty sure the Vitt did too.

There are a lot of situations that you can still turn around and make something out of. Not always, but there are definitely a lot of surprising matches like I said that seemed like a depip but turned out to be a black pip or +pip.

Assuming I get easy killers over and over while you only get difficult ones is another part of coping. I guess you don't want to admit that but that's alright (also since when is Spirit an 'easy' killer, sure not as strong as before but strong nonetheless). I go against Nurses, Blights and a range of others, with some of those players having thousands of hours in the game. But tell yourself whatever you want man. :)

GL getting out of gold in the next season with your mindset.

I get to iri 1 in solo pretty much every month, but getting from mid-golds to iri 1 takes as long as everything before.

The disconnection issue is a huge part of why this is. Getting from ash-silver is strictly a matter of time, but I would say getting from mid-gold-iri 1 (especially iri 4 - iri 1) actually does require some skill, especially when a good portion of your games are essentially 3v1. You really have to buckle down and play opportunistically when you get near the end.

And since those 3v1 games are essentially lost in terms of advancing in grade, you have to have some time to burn to get to iri 1. Unless you have a lucky run, it's not going to be an efficient run.

At the very least I think it should be that no one can de-pip in a match with a DC, but you have to be careful not to give too much to people for a teammate DCing, because that could be abused.

No I recognize this but disconnects and people giving up doesn't mean you auto depip. You have the same actions that you need to complete. If youre in a 3v1 you can still unhook, do gens, chase, and heal. If you continue playing to the fullest you should be able to safety pip most of the time and focus on pipping when you have others who actually play.

I'll bite since you wanted to assume some more. Lots of 'or or or' in there, good rational post man.

Annoyance = someone disagrees with me, tells me to play better, can't take it so lash out with condescending and rude comments. Check!

I know a lot about what I'm saying, you just don't like the fact I called you out for being stuck in gold for a month. I have over 2k hours in this game, been Iri1 for both killer and survivor in the past, and I'm Iri now. You can keep assuming and deflecting everything on to others though, you're good at that at least. And if you were so good and you only got strong killers like Nurse & Blight, yet you claim being hard stuck for a month in gold, your MMR would go down and you'd face 'easier' killers as you put it. Stop acting like you're the only one going against S tier killers, and S tier only. Especially in solo Q. You're not. Don't gotta lie bout it on the forums, ma dude.

I play more than most streamers I know and I get camped or tunneled out 9/10 matches. When you lose pips after every match you get them, it doesn't matter how much you play. You're just lucky not to be the one camped/tunneled.
