Solo Surv going to remain awful?

Solo survivor is an absolute disaster of an user experience. I would expect this from an abandoned game or a company that has 1 employee, but this is pathetic for a company of this size and revenue.

-Sweating killers running whatever is the top flavor of the month killer + add-ons + meta perks

-Usually with proxy camping and/or tunneling either from the start or at the very second a gen is finished

-Slugging to prevent hatch

-Reward for looping the killer for multiple gens? You get hard tunneled first! Don't worry the other solo survivors thank you for your sacrifice as they pop gate and exit.

-Survivor dc'd or afk'd from the start? GG

-Killer exploiting latency? GG

-One of your survivors is a newb? GG

-Rare, but hacking on killer and surv side. Had a game where a Dwight held the game hostage using hacks.

-After enough losses you get the merciful killer that gives hatch, this isn't a win it sucks

-After enough losses the match maker gives you an afk, bot, or wood league killer to bring up your win rate. The suck just as bad.

    The funny thing is and I Have said this for years no matter how much you buff survivor giving them perks at base, handouts etc this what you have written will STILL happen, this is how solo queue works in every game not just DBD, it's literally gambling everytime you hit that "ready" button.

    The issue is buffing survivor will always indirectly buff SwF which makes some issues you pointed out even worse "Sweating killers running whatever is the top flavour of the month killer + add-ons + meta perks" They do this because with a SwF if they want to win they have the tools to be able to be efficient as possible. SwF>Killer>Solo Queue as they say when it comes to strength in DBD and SwF has never been nerfed or changed once since it made its way into the game.

    Because the game refuses to tell killers when they are against a SwF or Solo killers sadly just always have to assume the worst to come. Pick a killer meme build and guess what? You get hit with Eyrie map offerings, Insta heals, bm 99.9% of the game followed by trash talk in the end game chat. So what does this cause? That killer who was playing chill is now pissed off and decides to run a meta build so they can feel like the power role. But then what happens? This killer now running meta is now against an inefficient, inexperienced solo queue who get destroyed at 4 gens, thus posts like this are created.
