Solo Queue MMR
My MMR has dropped a lot recently. I've consistently had the worst teammates, two or sometimes three baby survivors against multi-prestige killers. Guaranteed losses based purely on matchmaking. I'm now stuck playing against bad killer players and it's miserable. They get so tilted so fast. They don't respect you when you play well, they get angry. They camp and tunnel so hard, even at five gens.
I don't want to be stuck in this hell, but it's so hard to climb back out of this hole. There's no memers here, so skill expression. Just bad players struggling and getting mad about it. I just want to go back to getting my teeth kicked in by a good Blight.
What can I do to get back to where I was? I don't understand the MMR system that well. Should I run a solo build and play selfish? I hate leaving teammates behind, but playing at this MMR is terrible. It's just hostage negotiation match after match.
Seeing as my teammates suck balls, I'm going out of my way to find the killer and run them for as long as possible. Usually dying as gens don't go very quickly (killer usually face camps their first down too). Is this a good way to climb MMR, or does the game class me as sucking because I died first?
Any tips would be appreciated. I miss Plague, Pig and Nemesis.

It's really hard to tell where you are with MMR in solo queue. Generally speaking, at least one person in that lobby is a backfill, and that throws everything off.
As far as increasing your MMR, there are ways to do it in solo queue. The order in which you die does matter AFAIK. Dying last will lose you less MMR than dying first. Match length also affects MMR gain. The max you can gain is +20 on a 4 man escape in a 10 minute match. Don't hold me to those numbers. Hatch is a draw. You don't gain or lose.
The best way to guarantee MMR gains or draws is to run a rat build. Sole Survivor+Wake Up+Left Behind. You play normally and try for the 4 man escape, but this build gives you multiple escape paths if you backfilled into a hell lobby amd everyone is dead at 4 gens. Zero or +5 is better than -10 or -20. The best play for MMR gains is the gate, obviously. But you risk No Way Out. Hatch is safest.
That being said, I've been playing that way for a long time, escape well over 50% of my games, and my lobbies in solo queue still suck half the time. I play in a 4 man SWF for hours on end and we 4 out 80% of the time. Solo queue lobbies still suck. There's really no escape.

Thanks for the tips. I genuinely thought switching from my support build to a more aggressive looping build would make things better. But even when I do well, I seem to slip back to playing against new killers. I just assume my MMR has gone down, as the baby survivor and killers are way more frequent than they were.
I wish the game would not penalise players for getting hard tunneled so much. If a killer gets mad and wants to hard tunnel you out of the game, you are kind of screwed in solo queue. If you get unhooked, eventually you are going down again (unless there is a MASSIVE skill difference). The killer is strong enough to take one survivor out of the game completely if they choose. Sure they might throw the match, but their kit allows them to do that with little resistence outside of SWF. The game shouldn't judge you as sucking because the killer decided to use the game mechanics to guarantee your death after one down.
I don't own Laurie, but I was looking for a new survivor to play, so I'll pick her up 👌
Update:
Sorry, I'm on PS5, so I can't do a screenshot. I didn't even have to play like an *******. I was able to do a bit of everything during the match. I was able to rescue and heal teammates and loop the killer, but he gave up on me and went for the others.

Does MMR exist? i feel as though survivor i escape maybe 10-20% of games maybe less and the statistic does carry over to killer where i conistently 3-4k 80-90% of the time. I see the same players when playing killer and survivor so how does mmr even work in general?

I have no idea really. I think outside of SWF, survivor is just pretty rough. Honestly after 500 hours of solo queue, I'm close to just finding a SWF. I can't be bothered to coordinate with people, but it's gotta be better than the solo queue experience.
