Sometimes I do!

Mostly I am trying to make random's life better with flashbang/pallet saving, because my build is mostly altruistic for saves.

Never leaving them until 2nd stage aswell, even if I have to trade!

This game is actually unplayable for soloQ. U face against blights p100 with double iri and your teamates just hide in a corner or down after 5 seconds. After the MMR changes this game is abolutely boring for soloQ, even with "helps" from survivor HUD. When we had the rank system this game was A LOT OF BETTER and more enjoyable.

I feel there is no soloQ left as a killer. I only face SWF with iri addons , with one person trying to stalk my stealth killer callign out where i am. Its not fun to play killer either atm and that is why you see slugging with meta killers and perks becuase you are a bunch of people who play the game unfairly.

Not one bit. I think I can handle 3 matches max anymore.

I used to love chaos shuffle but now the killers are playing like their families lives depend on their win. They act like they have to sweat even harder because they don't have the perks they want to have but still play chaos shuffle anyway.

Then you have the teammates who seem to be allergic to gens or heals (which I hear the NA-W servers are well-known for), can't loop a house fly and drop on first hook all while consistently going against killers with over 100 ping.

The only chance of survival would be having 8 perks to counter tunneling, slugging, gen rush and self-healing because my team won't do any of it.

It's sad to see my fellow solo players really not enjoying it. Maybe It's because I play so infrequently now I can still enjoy it.

That being said, had time for two matches yesterday. Played on on Chaos Shuffle and one on normal. Both we were all dead at 5 gens.

Solo queue is rough for a wide variety of reasons. The only advantage of solo queue over SWF is that at least when you die you don't have to wait around for your friends to finish. And you will die. Probably around 80-90 percent of your games.

They need to separate queues with quitters getting stuck in their own pile while non-quitters get to play with each other. Who cares if it makes wait times a few minutes longer.

The issue with solo survivor is having teammates giving up over selfish reasons.

They already reverted most Xeno changes because some killer main content creators got upset that they can't get low skill cheese kills after the changes. They follow the $$$ which means releasing OP licensed killers and bending over backwards to whatever a handful of content creators that have a cult following believe.

Well i spend 75 hours a week the past 7 months becuase i havent had anything to do. And when you run franklin/weave, Ghostface you can see who is SWF and who is not. When they put their items in a specific place of the realm. How they follow each other , how you are always trailed by that 1 person the entire game. When the end of the lobby they got similar names

Solo Q does not have the coordination to know when a stealth killer is coming towards you area 200 meters away in stealth and is on the other side of the map unless someone has told them something.

I'd say 90% of my survivor matches are solo queue - I personally have a load of fun. Sometimes the teamwork is just oh so right, and after we will add each other and play a few matches together after, but usually it's just solo. As long as it's not a blight/nurse/wesker, it's usually at least a 3 man out.

Granted, sometimes I play at late night, and when I do, it can be the wild wild west of the quality of teammates.

Here's one of my two favorite solo queue saves to date.

Other one is on Reddit, no video link directly sorry.

Solo queue is perfectly viable once you're in the mmr with other experienced survivors, but it's pretty frustrating on the way to that point.

I don't believe the vast are survivor players, I really don't think there is a such thing as survivor main because there is no point in it. The queue times and incentives speak which side is most popular and fun. There is always an excuse to nerf survivors.

Tell me, if we are so worried about survivors waiting, why wasn't killers nerfed for 2v8. Killers waited like 30 minutes even with a 400 percent bonus for survivors and there was no nerfs to killer. Everything will deny common sense to keep the game killer favored and miserable for survivor.

The game would be so much more popular if it was fun and fair for both sides.

Every time I play at night, survivor queues are super long and killer queues are instant. Even during the day when fewer people are playing survivor, killer queues are never as long as the evening time survivor queues for me. You can believe whatever you want, but the fact is there are far more survivor main players than killer main players.

Survivors were buffed quite a bit for 2v8. I played survivor almost exclusively during the last 2v8 event and escaped a majority of my matches. It was not even close to being killer sided.

I’m sure this will get downvoted just like my last post, which tells you that any opinion that even remotely defends the killer side is not popular here. What were you saying again about not believing there is such thing as a survivor main?

The vast majority of players being survivors isn't really a matter of opinion, the game wouldn't run if that weren't the case. I mean every match is a 4v1. And I don't see the incentive on surv 24/7 or anything. At least half the time I see no incentive at all, and when I do see it, it's like 25%. So logic and math dictate that ~80% of all players at any given time are playing survivor.

I'm not saying solo queue isn't tough right now, it is.

But saying the majority of players aren't playing surv or that there is no such thing as a survivor main (lol) is just delulu talk. The biggest slice of the DBD player pie chart at any given time are solo queue survivors. If it weren't so I'd be waiting forever to get into a killer match, and I certainly am not. I have no patience for waiting.

Now it's not as much that way as it once was, as the balance has tilted toward killer (no objective person would deny that), but the game used to be wildly surv sided. And people have been saying "just wait killer mains, you'll be waiting an hour for a match when no one is playing surv!" since 6.1.0, and it hasn't happened.

Okay, maybe it takes 30-60 seconds to get into a killer match instead of 10 seconds.

And as for your statements about 2v8 - people didn't want to play surv as much in 2v8 because all the novelty of the mode is in playing killer in tandem/with a friend, not because surv was weak.

2v8 is insanely survivor sided. I would know, I played pretty much only survivor (played five or six matches as killer total over the three 2v8 implementations) and escaped constantly. Like 75% of the time, like twice my 1v4 escape rate. Nerf 2v8 killer? lmao.

Now solo queue survivor is most often a rough experience. But people screaming "solo is unplayable! It's so bad that no one wants to play anymore! It's literally like being dipped in acid!" and flailing about isn't helping when they could be making rational arguments and actual realistic suggestions instead.

I have the most fun playing events or special play modes like Chaos Shuffle and 2v8. I usually pull back and don't play as much when only the normal mode is available, because it ends up feeling so sweaty. I actually think Chaos and 2v8 are very friendly to solo, which is probably why I like them — you aren't matching with people who have a perfectly calibrated build; everyone has either one of the pre-set builds from 2v8 or a random build from Chaos, and that feels a little more fun.

Killer difficulties may need to make a come-back.

You should be able to "Ping" things like totems, generators, and chests. Even if you think showing the aura is too much info, you could do something like a glyph where it makes noise if you get close. Just to get a LITTLE help from teammates

I have a theory that Killer difficulties were placements along the mmr bracket. So Trapper and Legion were categorized as “beginner” which leads me to believe they were mostly for lower mmr. Higher mmr Survivors might have faced less of the “beginner” Killers. I think Plague was categorized as “hard” because the power is so easy to get value from that the player ends up playing against “hard” Survivors.

I’m not willing to die on this hill or anything but it is a suspicion on how I think the difficulty system used to work.

Solo queue has been so bad for me, can’t get teammates to gens while I run the killer forever.

The quality of my teammates extends from a single cell organism with an Xbox controller to 100,000 IQ Einstein. I help everyone equally, and sometimes I get emotional when other players make a big mistake. But that is okay. We will work together anyways. That is my favorite part about this game. It sucks when other people don't care or get upset—but sometimes things work out.
