DEVs, solo survivor escape rate is 10-15%. This game is "balanced"?!
DEVs, you just spit in the face of solo survivors who bought your game. The game is absolutely UNPLAYABLE for those who play to escape! You are completely ignoring big part of your community, which is a big mistake, keeping people frustrated will not work forever.
This problem should be your first priority instead of nerfing survivors even more. The average survivor escape rate is 35-40%, it's much lower for solo, but you keep nerfing survivors. Probably not because it's necessary, but because the other side makes more noise and demands unjustified changes. You have to realise that some people will NEVER be satisfied and there are much more such people among killers, I'm sure you noticed that. They will demand more and more, it will never end. Are you ready to completely break the game, ignoring your own statistics and common sense? Do you want them to become silent? They never will, live with it.
It's time to wake up and fix your game, you have stats, you have facts. It's time to make survivors playable again, especially solo otherwise you will shoot yourself in the foot!

I don't know, I don't really like the nerf to decisive strike, but I feel like killers should always be dominant to wins. With their powers and brute strength and speed, it does make sense that the win rate is 40%. I just don't really like the nerf to decisive strike, since it can be used only once per match anyway.
I thought Decisive strike was fair enough, with just one more chance to escape.1 -
I like how the "escape rate" drastically changes every time someone uses it to get a point across.12

Where did you get that info?

Where are you pulling those numbers from?
I escape definitely way more often and im solo lol

The escape rate for survivors is 35% on average with lower ranks having a lower escape rate (30%) and higher ranks having a higher escape rate (40%)
However the 4k rate for killers is only about 25% (the list was separated by Killers rather than by rank so take that number with a grain of salt)
Thus to make the game more balanced we would want to increase the 4k rate and decrease the 3k rate

Don't have numbers as there's no ingame tracker, but my success as a solo is way better than 10-15%. That just shows survivors are doing something wrong, whether its teamwork or failure to adapt their playstyle.1

Random numbers are fun.

Average number of game I can play vs the number I succeeded in. Not claiming I am great but on a typical night I do better than 1/10.Master said:@DemonDaddy said:

So when you talked about the 10%, then this was based upon your own games?
I recommedn watching some youtube tutorials (there are plenty out there) and learn how to play survivor

@Master
Was referring to post title and projection that solo was less than the percentages provided by Dev's. While it may just be attention bait, I found it was less than representative of a solo's capabilities. But yeah, never think to big of myself to turn down good advice & tips.1 -

escaping isn’t the main goal. getting the proper emblems to pip is. escaping is just extra points. not necessary4

10-15% survival rate is still okay, I don't see the issue, it's DEAD by daylight not survive by daylight

Oh, didn't know that. Still, 10-15% would sound fine to me, it's around the same escape rate that survivors have against my frank's mixtape legion and legion is one of the worst killers in the game.

Ironically enough since Legion came out I've kinda noticed Freddy isn't ######### tier. I get killed more by him than some other killers like TrapperMhhBurgers said:@Mr_Myers said:

True, compared to other killers, I see others call him one of the worst, but I have never escaped from him, always one of the first to die from him.
Wraith, Trapper, Hilliybilly, Pig, Leatherface, Huntress, Nurse, Doctor, and Michael Myers I have escaped from before, almost to Hag and Legion, never the CLown, but have always died from the "la la la" of children from Freddy. O.o0 -
However, 37.5% of crows caw in average 2 seconds after they're disturbed, while playing against a doctor you're expected to shout at least 4.5 times in a match considering 80% of the time you're brought to at least madness tier 2.
Leatherface misses 42% of his chainsaw swings attempted vs Davids or Jakes and Megs are disarming 72% of the traps in matches against Trapper.
Please balance accordingly!

@Troman . I really want to know where you got theses stats.
100% of people who drink water die. I am sure all of the survivors have had some water once or twice in their lives. Tbh they are doomed from the start. It's kind of a mercy killing.
Survivors are playable bro, I play survivors everyday. Killers aren't playable because the only one that dies is me from high blood pressure. Git gud.
2 -
You know at least 70% of lobbies hold a form SWF right? (Whether its duo's, triple or 4man) so I dont see how solo is a very large portion of the community.... but yes solo needs the team knows this..................... I bid you with a git gud1

Solo Survivor thug life(because every game needs a hard mode with nuanced, strategic, harrowing game play reliant on sheer bloody minded stubborn determination and sheer force of will alone)
0 -
It was the survivor side who made more noise since the very start. If you are bad at game it doesn't mean its unfair.0
-
My survival rate is below 30%. But you're missing the important point here. Escape is only one factor in your success as survivor. Repair a lot, help other survivors a lot, waste the killer's time in chases a lot, then die. That's a success. Escaping is just the cherry on top, it definitely should happen less than half the time.
That said, I agree it's more difficult for solo survivors. Devs have a hard time addressing the balance issue between solos and SWF. But you still have the wrong way to look at it. You should enjoy difficulty instead of complaining about it.3 -
What? Solo survivor escape rate is -221%????!!!??!!?!1/1/1/1 We need to do somtin~!
Whaaaaaaaa!?!?!!?!? Killah kill rate is 101%?!!?!?!?! OPPPPPPPReally, you think someone will believe in those "stats" taken from the ass? You, survivors, claimed a month ago, that "survivor escape rate is only 60%, so the game is pretty balanced", a week ago you went from 60% to 40-50, and now you say it is 15%? Really? Don't treat everyone like a people of your kind, we won't believe in this #########.

Tbh SWF is hard mode. Not many of my friends are rank 1 and some of them are only there because of me.
SWF isn't easy mode for everyone. I Escape more in solo.1 -
I usually escape unless a DC ######### is in the game. Nowhere near 10%. LOL
Numbers where?2 -
I feel you bro, it's absolutely a nightmare play solo at high rank. This game lost his balance since summer 2018. They remove too much pallet too much windows. And spirit and legion breaks a lot of game meccanics. Like the vault animation of spirit, you never can understand what it's up to
1 -
They removed, like, 1-2 pallets per map. The Spirit is a mindgame killer, she's supposed to be like that. No comment on the Legion.
1 -
if the escape rate for solo survivors truly was of 10/15%,I would already have left this game then.
1 -
Well, for bad solo survivors it probably is.
2 -
That's for sure.
That's their problem tho.

Git gud get 3/4 with huntress with only her 3 perks.

@Nea_Death_Experience "SWF is hard mode"? You can't be serious, there is nothing more easy in this game. If you escape more often as solo surv, that does only mean that your SWF teammates need more practice and that your random teammates are more experienced. It doesn't mean that SWF is hard.
1 -
And yet I win 80% of my solo survivor games cuz I got good at other things than just trying to loop.
1 -
Bro you need to take a joke. I am saying the people I play with are bad. My friends are casuals and are actual rank 14-18. SWF is hard more for me but it was a comment in fun. You read one line in my comment and got triggered. Chill.

Bro, im saying my mates are bad. Take the joke. They are casuals, it is hard mode.

ummmmm What? The average, by actual factual numbers, is actually 2 survivors escaping per match. Just because you get killed 40% of the time doesn't mean i do.

For all the killers who think the game is all about them, there's some people here who enjoy to play survivor and want to have a decent chance to win, I'm sorry but i'm playing since the game came out (I'm rank 5 now trying to climb seriously since a month) and some killers have a ridiculous advantage over survivors in some cases its not even fun... If after 3 minutes everyone is on the floor because there's a fkn Hex Ruin, and a Barbecue and chili AND a one shot damn skill... good fkn luck for the survivors to win.. and I guess killers don't play survivor so they don't know... -_-
2 -
You can't reach rank 1 and that means killers have it easy?
I am rank 1 both usually and played more survivor than killer. Killer is harder. Try it and see for yourself.
3 -
barbecue and chilli is RIDICULOUSLY easily countered. Once somebody goes down hide in a locker till he is on a hook for about 4 secs, leave the locker, return to gen, gg.
2 -
But how do you bully the killer then? =)
2 -
Yeah I was in a game against a legion other day and he couldn't get me down and finally gates got powered but I'd killed his totem. He resorted to the moonwalk exploit to finally down me then hard camped me on hook and kept slashing me. I just laughed at him the whole time knowing i'd won.
