Lagging skill checks/ got a better modem and router. Also on console if ping is red i dodge.
Tunneling/camping - not sure what you mean by not depipping. Doesn't happen very often to me so i deal with it.
Face camping - if im on hook i waste as much of the killers time as i can. If im not on hook i do gens as i never run borrowed time. If theres 2 or 3 of us left and we are all close to hook we may all run in and take a hit bit i solo so....
Getting farmed - mutter a curse and move on. Its just a game.
Mori, try not to get hooked and downed. If i do, hope it's in a spot where i can enjoy the show.
Oni- try to stay healthy. Hag, just lose. Hag is rough as a solo without ue. I just try to be smart in the way i play.
Mostly, i play survivor because i can mess around and have a less stressful time than as killer. Its a game. Im not really going to die if i get sacrificed.
Also best way to avoid being face camped and tunneled is to not tbag and flash light click.

Lagging skill checks: find Ruin or compensate for the lag. Not sure what platform you're on, but FPS is a factor.
Tunneling and camping: it's a thing. Either play again or don't. The best thing you can do is make it not worth their time to repeatedly target you.
Facecamping: run Kindred and Borrowed Time if you're a solo survivor and it's something you feel you need to be prepared for every game.
Getting farmed: Rank up and generally get better teammates as you climb in ranks
Mori: part of the game. Both sides have things that shorten their objective. Moris and keys are ridiculous, but...play again or don't.
Oni: hug corners when he is in Demon Mode. Loop like normal when he isn't.
Hag: this is a tougher one if you're newer. You can avoid the traps by crouching or disarm them with flashlights. Many low rank Hags will place all their traps near a hooked survivor and never leave it. You can blast through the gens while they camp or use Urban Evasion and Borrowed Time to make the save.

- Play like normal.

If you are on pc, disable vsync from the config files. It makes skill checks a lot more smoother.

- Avoid high ping lobbies
- Nothing you can really do about that. Hope you’re team is willing to rescue you and good at body blocks.
- See above.
- Nothing you can do if you’re solo.
- Don’t get hooked but I mean a direct counter to a Mori is a key, so what’s wrong?
- Get a decent squad or perks. Oni Killers usually slug, so run unbreakable and/or iron will. Self-care or Med-kits can help. But overall it depends on your teams assistance. As for the hag, good luck if they’re really good.

For the lagging/ruin skillcheck make sure to check what picture mode you have set on TV (if you're a console player!) as it makes a massive difference! Most modern tv's have a dedicated 'game mode', it makes a world of difference when I use it in DBD.
For most of the other issues, there's little you can do other than chalk it up to experience & move on :)

-Keep working on the gen (waiting for the sparks to go ut first
-Depending on the situation, if the killer is camping in endgame collapse just leave, if the killer is camping midgame do a gen because I know the rest of my team is probably gonna get downed next to the hook in a minute. And if you really hate tunneling use DS, if you dont get to use it then you were not tunneled and dont acusse the killer of doing so
-Same as last one
-Welp, Im now dead, whatever, time to move on to another match, thanks other guy for being a great teammate!
-Welp, I've been moried, whatever, time to move on to another match, thanks killer for equipping an ebony against a bunch of solo queuers!
- Use urban evasion for hag, and for god's sake dont run as soon as you get unhooked because every guy does that and it ends with me getting downed after the hag teleports. For Oni play normally and when he's got his power try to make turns when he is coming to hit you, if there is a wall even better cause he cant turn 90 degrees correctly when against a wall

-Lagging skillchecks with ruin
Either try to find the totem or push through anyway, if you miss a great, just wait for the sparks to go away cause you won't get any progress on the gen but you can still get skillchecks
-Tunneling and/or camping and not de-pipping
Tunneling by going into juke the killer mode, lithe+dance with me work pretty good for this, they can't tunnel if they can't find you
Camping push through gens and if i'm the one being camped hope my teammates push through gens, kindred is amazing for this
-Face camping and not even being able to touch the hooked survivor
Same as above just with a sigh
-Getting farmed
Growl and then move on
-Mori
When i know there is a mori i usually try to play a lot safer and sneakier
-Oni and Hag in general
I haven't versed oni that much
Hag: first thing i do is pray that my team knows that you can crouch traps, if they don't, i try to go for the hatch
Other then that i would sometimes look in chests to see if i can't find a flashlight, try to pop her traps while she is carying someone to a hook and if i get in a chase run to completed generators there a low chance hags will trap there

Tunneling and/or camping and not de-pipping
Well if you didn't lose a pip then you already dealt with it well enough.
Lagging skillchecks with ruin
Skill checks are client side so this is a direct issue with fps. If you are on console then not much you can do about it. On PC with the right hardware you can unlock fps up to 120.
Face camping and not even being able to touch the hooked survivor
You can touch them just fine. You might get hit or grab in doing so. Not everyone can or should be saved.
Getting farmed
If it's right before you hit the next stage it's to give you a chance. If it's an issue start running DS.
Mori
Hide all match or sandbag your teammates. 😉
Oni and Hag in general
Oni is easy. Tight angles are now impossible for him in his dash. Jungle gyms, buildings, L T walls. If you know that you will go down jump in a locker. This forces his cool down and prevents snowballing.
Hag. Depends on her addons really. If you know where traps are, destroy them while she is carrying someone. Same for hook saves. If she is picking up someone run for that unhook. In general same for all killers, hold that M1 on gens.

About the skill checks, disable vsync and the fps limiter. Ever since I did it, Ruin does not matter at all (It is very easy to land hex skill checks).
About tunneling and camping: DS and Dcs, honestly. If the persons camps you with 5 gens left I just go to the other match, but if it is like on the egc I use DS and hope my teammates have BT.
About moris, lobby dodge. Killers do it all the time against SWF.
And against hag, she is pretty good but is slow and you can avoid her traps. The new Oni is possibly one of the worst killers in game so just turn a corner and he can't get you (Yeah, thanks Devs)

Wow, I expected to be told "git gud" to be honest xD. Thank you very much everyone who responded! I reached rank 4 recently and the game is pretty much transforming into a chore. I got 5 ebony mories in consecutive games and just told myself "yeah, no". Looping is usually not that much of a problem unless that one of a kind P3 ally sandbags me lol.

Oni's not a problem. Other than that pray.
