Solo Survivor - A horrible experience
There is no doubt about balancing the killers, it is done with SWF teams in mind. But there is a catch to this: Players who are alone in the game.
Playing as a solo survivor is a boring, stressful, tiring experience. killers nowadays have a lot of power and anti-looping mechanics, which makes the game tiring.
I've been playing since 2018 and I started playing again for a few days because of the Alan Wake DLC, but I couldn't handle how stressful it was to play alone.
Since you are balancing the game with SWF in mind. They should immediately allow communication in the game, even if it is in an area, like dayz works. This would help those who play alone a lot more.
There's no way you can enjoy a game where you die all the time, or the vast majority of the time, because there is no communication and the killers are full of buffs. Dead hard is actually a horrible perk, what did you do with it?
The more anti-looping mechanics the worse it becomes for a solo player, you can't enjoy the game because you get caught very quickly now

Toxicity of verbal communication would be similar to the Call of Duty level based on how endgame chats are currently. A chat wheel similar to Rocket League would be nice to have, albeit I don't really know how that would work when implemented.
Yeah they gutted Dead Hard pretty bad, funnily enough people still want nerfs! Decisive Strike also got gutted into practically non-existence...
I think a solo queue becomes bearable once you’ve risen out of low MMR. If you’re in mid to upper mid MMR you’re likely to encounter a plurality of teammates more competent at the game than newbies or extreme casuals, who are in low MMR. Doesn’t mean you’ll win every match, but it’s nevertheless going to make a big difference in how comfortable your trials feel.
Killers are now calling for Windows of Opportunity to be nerfed too.
