Lemme put it this way:

After half a dozen matches on surv side SoloQ feels OP. (edit for clarification: regular SoloQ feels OP compared to Lights Out surv experience.)

After half a dozen matches as killer I'm about to fall asleep.


And with that I'm also done with the game mode.

    So lack of information makes soloq stronger?

    That's news to me.

    Then just play the OP side and have fun!

    ... not in lights out. - In the regular matches. ... Maybe should have clarified that one.

    Like I said; Killer is boring af in lights out (for all the wrong reasons on top).

    Clarify the "killer is boring" statement as the term boring means different things to different people.

    I played one match of lights out and realized it wasn’t for me. Thankfully I can get the event challenges in the regular gameplay.

    Thank you for the edit. I was confused lol

    Lights Out has definitely changed my perspective. I was excited for this mode because I was so over survivor in regular game mode. So it's saying something that after a few games in LO I was ready to go back to regular 🤣

    Boring? The one thing this mode brings is a definitive need for skills and mind-games because you can't rely on none of the usual things : no track marks, no vision, no perks.

    The survivor side is almost the same except tools are still available.

    I'm enjoying this thoroughly but I've always loved mind games and I didn't wait for this to play perk-less.

    I like chase as killer and I don't usually play the high mobility killers. For some reason not even I know I really like Nemo. - I also really despise tunneling or being a "back to hook Andy".

    In the Lights Out mode that left me wandering around the map and patrolling gens until I could spot a survivor. There's so much time during the matches that I just spent wandering that I actually and quite literally yawned my way through them (to the amusement of the friend in the discord call who where doing their own thing and eventually commented that maybe I should stop playing that mode if it makes me yawn so much. - Which I did.)

    In any other match that degree of "idle time" would cost you the match. Yet, since survs don't know where to go either, I still 3k+hatch every single time (pretty much regardless of it being Solo or swf).


    Granted; different people have different priorities but as far as I'm concerned... just nah. Not my thing. Absolutely not my thing.

    I think that would help if the killer couldn't see gen's auras. I played both side and I was just shopping kills by going gen to another until I find someone. I think that knowing the killer has his power should be good enough.

    At some point I just decide to screw the game over and give points knowing it was +150%. I don't see any more fun or purpose to that mode anymore since I got all rewards.
