In which way do you lose ?

I would love to see your gameplay. I know soloq can be hit and mis but I've never experienced it that bad.

Real "babies" playing this game

Every 5th game I play as Victim, I meet some god-awful Killer, with default skin, that get absolutely dunked on. I've played this game for a few years now, and I never stopped seeing obviously new Killers.

10 or 11 is a bit heavy-handed. Probably every 4th, max 3rd, games of mine have somebody offing themselves on hook. It happens, but no way more than 50% of the time.

On my end, I get prestige 50+ since going back to solo-queue. I was having rough games yesterday when Freddy came out, but since going back to solo-queue I've been having nice chill games.

I get what you're saying, however. How many hours in the game do you have?

Oh that's wild then. 😭😂

I'm nearing 3k on my end, but I mostly get cross-play players on my end. Might just be hours and not many survivors in queue. A bit strange to see Premonition and Technician.

I did get out of a Hillbilly game with my random Dwight running Spine Chill of all perks, but it might just be people using generic perks because they like them. Randoms can be a little odd with their perk selection and can vary widely on the perks they use I find.

Some games you have people running full meta, other times you have people running full chase, or just a random assortment of perks lol.

I played 5 games one afternoon a couple of weekends ago when the weather was bad. Would have played way longer as survivor, but all 5 of those games the first person killed themself on hook. I switched to killer.

It isn't that far fetched, believe me!

I played 9 games of solo queue last night. I died once, then escaped 7 times in a row, then died on my last game.

Matchmaking is non-functional and is by far the biggest reason why solo queue experience is terrible. BHVR seems to believe that most players would rather have a fast queue and get matched with whoever, regardless of skill level, than wait a little longer and get matched with similarly-skilled and experienced players. Not to mention how flawed the skill-measuring system is to begin with (escapes being the sole measure of “skill”)

I think it's one area that developers really shouldn't listen to players on. Of course players are going to say they want fast queue times. But they're still going to complain when 1 person is in basement and 2 people are slugged at 5 gens (an actual thing that happened to me the other night).

Speed is being prioritized way too much if I can set my controller down, go do laundry, and have the outcome be the same as if I had actually participated. The game is a waste of time at that point. No value. And the most frustrating part is the complete radio silence for 2 years now on matchmaking. It's terrible and they're happy with it.

I've been tracking my last 12 Survivor games. I mostly ran a silly locker Dweet build (played 1 trial with an all stun perk build to do the Jane tome challenge), since I have more fun in this game when I run whatever builds I feel like and decide not to care too much if I win or not.

No one quit or gave up, aside from one game with a griefing swf that tried to get me killed because they saw me get into a locker (I guess?).

I died in 9 trials. One escape was a lucky hatch spawn, one was a chill Billy that I think was going to let us all go anyway and one was against a Trapper who locked someone down in the basement at endgame (the rest of the team went on a suicide rescue mission but I'm not that daft. Trapper got a 3K.) Trust me, running a meta build would not have made a difference in any of my games (except maybe against a Tunnelling Wesker. Oh, and a Huntress with Iron Maiden that made my entire build very risky). So that's 1 real escape in 12 SoloQ matches. Perhaps BHVR could buff Killer a little more to help?

Did the tome for survival and it was chill. Pro tip for everybody is that , stay on the gen and complete that thing and dont run away like a coward as soon as the terror radius start to show, if everyone did that gens will pop like flies. Today for example i had a stab 25 people quest and i met an SWF. I just ran around stabbbing people and all these people was so confused and didnt do anything by the time my quest was done it was still 5 gens up due to surge.

Had they not been running leaving blood everywhere and sat on a gen in a corner somewhere it would be alot harder.

As I expected, played this evening and I'm not saying solo queue was a paradise but it's the first time I've really played after Chaos Shuffle finished, and as I suspected might happen, with one mode, everything felt a lot better. Managed 50% escape rate from 8 games but there wasn't a single hook suicide, games felt close and winnable even in defeat. Most fun I' ve had across those 8 games in ages.

It just seems whenever there are events or modifiers on, the quality of solo queue absolutely plummets. Was dreadful during Chaos Shuffle, the Christmas event and the last 2v8, probably the worst quality matches I've experienced in over 3 years of playing.

Yeah, I agree people do need to stick a gen because sometimes the killer is too fixated on seeing another survivor and more than likely won't interrupt you.

If he/she does interrupt you, just run away from your gen, and hopefully a random takes over. But again, I don't really experience that in my solo-queue games. People normally stick gens, even get off in case of Pain Res.

But ultimately, I run Deja Vu a lot of the time (I hate the gen placements). So, I hardly get into three gen scenarios and it helps the game flow a lot better.

If Windows wasn't my auto-include perk, it would be Deja Vu. The perk was good even before the gen speed buff.

Deja Vu is beautiful because I find sometimes gens can be clustered on one side and bordering on having five gens (almost sometimes, especially on Autohaven).

I try not to use Windows on my end, as I like to free up perk slots and it helps me get better at chase as I'm always memorizing where pallets are by looking everywhere during a chase or remembering tiles. 😆

In all honesty, I don't even use Deja Vu for a speed boost - I believe it only shaves off a couple seconds unless you're doing a full gen speed build. I just like the information it provides as it sucks getting into a 3-gen scenario.
