Does solo survivor really need to be buffed?
I'm a survivor main who mainly plays solo queue, I honestly do not think solo survivor needs to be buffed. A survivor does not need information or comms to know that if they are not being chased, then they should be working on a generator.
If a survivor does need communication and information to know when they should be working on generators, then they should focus on improving as a survivor. Even when it comes to hook saves, it's down to game sense whether the survivor should go for the save or not.
The only thing that I think would be useful to be added is a totem counter, as SWF keep count of how many totems they cleanse anyway. Maybe bring back the ability to see the randoms rank and character levels, to give solo survivors an idea of how experienced their randoms are.
The biggest issue with SWF isn't to do with the lack of information but more due to the high potential of getting bad team mates. Which can only be fixed if they change the ranking system to prevent bad survivors from getting to high ranks.

I don't think survivors need buffs. Like OP said, most of the pain in solo queue comes from bad teammates. The amount of people that don't last 20 seconds in chase is wild.

If the devs can find a way to nerf swf without affecting solos then no, but I don't think that's really possible so the only solution is to buff solos in my opinion.

Rank 1 solo survivor here, and I would say we do not need any buffs at all. However, I might have been playing along with 3 or 2 man SWF teams without being aware of it, so it's really hard to tell.

I theorize most of the buff suggestions come from those that normally play SWF but have to play solo every once in awhile and want the same experience.
