    I dislike having to depend on my friends' availability.

    Plus they'd just demand me to play more altruistic than i want to.

    I'm a lone wolf basically.

    I'm not stupid btw, i know having others alive will help me.

    But in the beginning, whenever i wanted to go for the unhook, woops!

    Someone beat me to it.

    Meanwhile, neither of us made progress.

    So i said screw it, i'll let others worry about hookings.

    So i slapped on Kindred & Spine Chill and just enjoyed my singleplayer experience since. 😋

    I used to be a Solo Survivor, but Killer is just too fun to play now. Wraith all the way bois

    I play solo more than swf, swf is more fun but I love playing survivor with or without friends.

    I am the same, I play solo more than swf. My usual friend mains a killer so we dont often do matches together as a swf team. In any case their rank is like 9 or something so I get in groups with high ranking survivors and killers. I do my best but I feel maybe playing alone till I get better helps everyone in the long run.

    Yep, I like playing survivor regardless of SWF or not, and doing my own thing doesn't bother me.

    Yeah, you'll always get partied with some idiot that causes your death in one way or another, but the same can be said for SWF anyway.

    Given how this game plays against good Killers, one bad teammate can cost every Survivor the game.

    I can't count how many times everyone has died (both from Killer and Survivor POV) because one teammate is crouched at the Hatch on not on a gen, or when one person wastes a valuable pallet very quickly, or when someone farms people off hook without any strategy.

    Likewise, one AFK Survivor gives the Killer a free win and saps all fun from the game even if the Killer is merciful, let alone two or three (yes, I've had that happen).

    I have had fun playing Solo Survivor, but I have had more frustrating and unfun Solo Survivor games than fun ones. Playing Killer is always a better experience IMO.

    Not really. I've had good times going solo, but most of the time I'm getting left on hooks and sandbagged way too often for it to be enjoyable. With SWF it's nice to know at least someone has your back.

    There are far too many people who play far more stupidly than they have any right to at their rank. Not to mention solo survivors can be really unkind for no real reason. In my experience, the unprovoked meanness of solo teammates is surpassed only by that of killers who are facing (or believe themselves to be facing) a SWF team.

    I hate solo play if the killer wants to make sure I die in specific and randoms do nothing but crouch about. I've been one hooked so much recently.

    I hate it when I get farmed too that happens a lot. Makes me being ds which I am not used to hitting.

    Used to. Not anymore. Rather scalped myself than touch that ever again.

    You asked if I like it, and yes, if I can't find a nice SWF I go solo or killer

    No only because other players can do the silliest things, like farm in a killers face and it's just painful to understand. Ontop of that that doesn't mean I don't play solo, I was gonna change to yes and just say what I don't like but, rip.

    I rarely play SWF, having bad teammates is a pain in the ass but eventually you get over it

    It may be frustrating at times... But, It's better than having to hear 3 dude screaming and ruining the thrill/atmosphere.

    While I enjoy playing with my friends more, I can play on my own and still have fun. My playable tends to vary slightly depending on if I play alone or with others.

    Yes, but it's a "sometimes" for me. I enjoy playing with my usual co-op buddy way more than I do playing solo.

    as long as my mates dont DC out of the game all the time, i dont rly mind playing solo.

    I was hoping “yes but it’s torture” would be an option. My addiction to playing solo survivor has really made me question if I might be a masochist.

    When I play survivor it's like 95% of my games. I don't really have anyone to play with so I've just gotten used to solos. Often bring things like Kindred and Bond to help.

    I also always focus on keeping the gens apart as it seems I constantly get people who do all the gens on one side x.x

    I do but omg some survivors can be more Boosted than me!

    At high ranks I don’t mind playing solo because players usually know why they are doing, but I cannot stand playing solo on low ranks. So many boosted players and I’m constantly left wondering what goes through people’s minds sometimes lol.

    If teammates weren't so unreliable, I would have said yes.

    As survivor i play usually solo, its more relaxing, but also decreases the chance to survive or getting support from the others and can create frustrating situation. So i like playing as solo survivor, but it has in compare some real downsides.
