Anyone feel like solo queue is just not worth it in the current meta?

I have never been a fan of solo q, I have always felt if im gonna play solo, I'm gonna play killer so I don't have to deal with garbage teammates.

If I'm playing and no friends are online, I'd much rather play killer to be honest. It's easier for me to have better games as killer than as survivor, let alone SoloQ.

With enough Survivor puddings, you can make your own incentives hahaha

I was lucky yesterday, incentives were on killer for a while

Made 175k bps in one game with incentives + pudding + cute survivors willing to play around in snowmen and farm a bit

If it was me just now, I apologize for what I've done.

If it was not me, I still apologize to those guys.

Remember, killers don't know if you're playing solo or in a SWFs. If anything they need to treat every group as a SWFs.

Solo isn't the problem when MMR works, the problem are SWFs when MMR works.

As i said, they need to as there is no telltale in the pre-lobby if the survs are SWFs and/or sweatlords in general.

Cosmetics won't tell anything, low Prestige Levels can be smurfs and no items can still easy quickswitch.

I have to disagree about playing to have fun means you are deluded. I mainly play solo. I have one friend that plays duo with me once a week for a few hours.

I honestly go into every game assuming I am going to die, and if I end up escaping it truly feels like a huge win. But regardless, I have fun.

Do I get upset if I’m tunnelled or camped at 5 gens? Sure, who wouldn’t, as we all want to just play the game. But I just GG, Next.

To me, wins aren’t that important. I take all the bloodpoints I can get and then go into another match.

Maybe this is because I’ve only been playing for about 7 months so I’m not jaded or tilted enough yet? Who knows. But I play to have fun and and my fun isn’t dependant on escaping.

I think SWF is a problem when mmr doesn't work.

Assuming mmr works perfectly, and assuming SWF really does have a higher escape rate at any skill level, then their mmr would inflate and put them in front of killers who are able to handle them. In a majority of cases, SWF would not be a problem, because mmr would take care of harmonizing SWF and Solo escape rates by boosting SWFs to a higher mmr where they'd have the intended win rate, roughly 50% of the time.

The problem lies when mmr keeps putting really good SWFs against killers that aren't well adjusted against them.

As it is, there aren't enough players to make sure mmr works as well as it should, so the game will put anyone and everyone together if it deems them loosely close in mmr, and that means some really good SWFs are matched against killers that have a harder time handling them.

UPDATE: Just had a match against a killer with Eruption. It triggered twice during the whole match with a total of 3 survivors affected. Its 25 seconds. With the time between downing a survivor, picking him up, carry him to a hook and hooking, the timer was almost over.

The game has other problems than Eruption.

If you start to count things collectivly, then take a second to consider how many minutes killers spend picking up, carrying survivors and hooking.

As i said, by the time the killer finished the hooking animation, my cd was almost over. Even though he downed a survivor right next to me. Wasn´t really inconvenient, as the killer also isn´t getting much progress during that time + he needs to kick those gens. Which gives a headstart in chases. Which are far more valuable.

to be honest, 3 hours of playing without a an afk , escaped twice , at least getting some Bloodpoints . if BP bonus did not exist i would have stopped playing (at least) survivors , not worth it.

Atleast on steam you can look at their friendlists, which works most of the time for me.

I don't know if console has a similar feature though.

But why would that streamer dc? Because he can´t repair or heal for 25 seconds? Thats not really an issue. Maybe a nuisance but not an issue.

This just feels like Undying Ruin, where people complained that they had to cleanse 5 hex perks in order to get rid of it. When in reality they could just ignore it, as it had no effect on survivors that repaired.

Considering that DH was at 70+% for years without being changed at higher MMRs, surely turnabout is fair play?

Before the patch wich nerfed DH i ve never had a problem with it as killer was counterable , less than now but it was. was nerfed because most killers complained, now with the latency it is miserable. i think the old DH had his place in this new meta.

Was playing some solo queue last night. You see a fair amount of Eruption, but it's certainly not every game.

never said it was every game but i see the same 6 perks every games

Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance

Call of Brine

Eruption

Dead Man's Switch

Corrupt Intervention

Pop Goes the Weasel

i rarely see killers with less than 3 perks generators perks listed above every game while Survivors have more variety of perks unless some like Boons.

Also - people DC'd like crazy before the shakeup. You aren't going to stop people throwing a sulk when they make a mistake, get downed early, face a killer they don't like or just want an easier game. That's not on killers, that's on survivors.

i dont agree totally , there is a lot of more d/c or suicide on hooks now , every 3 games there is a suicide .

Today , 6 hours gaming, never paused the game, i escaped 5 times , Killers mostly done 3 or 4 kills, i counted only escapes.

10 mins a game so 5 games an Hour , around 30 games ,5 escape let you count the escape ratio how this is fair ?

Game was well balanced before new SBMM update for SoloQ than Now .

The reason killers pick out the weakest is simply strategy that happens in every game. As far as tunneling and 3 genning, that’s a symptom of the games poor balance. Gens go so fast they feel forced into it. So in an ideal scenario we’d fix map design so that killers have more time and then in turn we’d prevent the severity of how well killers can tunnel or camp as well as reducing gen slow down perk effectiveness. In other words, the negative things you’re talking about here are the symptoms of a problem, not the problem themselves and we have to fix the core issue first.
