So SoloQ is just a massive coin flip on what your team does
So I played a match against a Deathslinger he only went after me probably because SoloQ and my team just leaves me to slowly die on hook coming to rescue me here and there here's the kicker. No one bothered to heal me or even take a protection hit. Yet if I don't then they get mad at me because I wasn't helping or I'm a baby 0 IQ survivor even though as a SoloQ player I have to bring perks that only help me survive since my team always leaves me to die.
If your wondering what those perks are it's Self-care because I barely get healed by anyone even though I'm near them injured, Left Behind because usually I'm Left behind and/or I just want to have an escape in case MMR is coming at me with a spiked bat, Calm Spirit i mainly have it incase Doc,Clown and perks that cause you to scream and Despite measures while yes it gives a boost to healing and unhooking on others i just like having my perks being from different survivors.

I mean...kind of, yeah 😅
While it is "technically" possible to survive as a lone warrior who don't need no help from anyone cause you're a strong, independent young (wo)man!, it is virtually impossible for you to do 5 gens all by yourself while simultaneously running/hiding from the killer.
it's what's always going to hold the game back for Solo Q. They can make all kinds of changes to put Solo on the same level as SWF but ultimately, you can't "fix" bad teammates.
I'm at the point in solo queue where I just don't care anymore. Just play for yourself and bring whatever perks you like. I was getting tunnelled earlier and still I got unhooked by a team mate right in front of the killer after getting second hooked. Then, despite my unhooker being healthy and not having been hooked once, they tried to ensure they stayed right in front of me so I'd take an endurance hit for them. Either that or they were sandbagging, because they wouldn't let me past them. I just stopped and let the killer down me because no way was I giving them the safe unhook after that. No one tries to take hits or aggro anymore, so I just say 'good luck in your 3v1 then!'
That's kind of the case with any game with random matchmaking. Unless you all know each other going in and know what each other are capable of and what they'll be doing, you're going to have a random assortment of teammate viability.
So I'm guessing you're not that experienced with the game, not because I think you're bad but because you would already know the answer to this question. When you look at your matches and see DCs at the beginning of the match, people killing themself on first hook, no one working on generators, teammates going down in 5 seconds, and teammates leaving you to die at the beginning of the match I think you have your answer. Solo q is almost completely random and usually not in your favor.
Get rid of Self care and replace it with Kindred, Self care is a killer perk at this point, bring a medkit instead.
Oh well, similar thing happened to me yesterday... i was looping killer for around 10 minutes, I was doing great job at looping only to find out only 2 gens were done, most of the totems were cleansed, chests opened and on the top of it all - I was left dead on first hook, no one bothered to get me of hook.
SoloQ is too much of a problem and mmr doesn't work - 6.5k hours and still getting baby 0 IQ surviviors on my team, hehe.
I was was actually called that once even though I did nothing wrong and it was by the killer which was weirder.
The reason I keep self-care is because I don't want to bring a medkit in realize after a full heal I barely got any juice left and barely another heal in so I basically have to either hope my team heals me or I find a medkit the reason I still keep it is because of stuff like Despite measures it stakes so it changes that 25% to a nice 11% just with me being injured so I heal a bit faster with self-care while stuff like Sloppy will still be annoying I don't deal with it for to long since Sloppy and Self care slow healing to increases it 50% with desperate measures alone its instead 36% while yes still alot I usually have another teammate injured or in chase while injured so on so forth while yes I could go find them I'm risking being caught and then downed so basically yeah I keep Self-care since my teammate rarely wants to heal me and Desperate just so I heal faster that way I'm back in action sooner.

Welcome to the GULAG
Do I have still have to fight to earn my freedom while in the Entity's gulag?
That's solo queue for you. Sometimes you get good teammates, sometimes you get the three stooges. It's a dice roll every time you queue up.
Na, the gulag is a luxury compared to soloq.
Maybe I'm just broken after so much SoloQ, but that's become part of its perverse charm for me. 💀
I feel as if this can kind of soft-apply to most online cooperative or PvP team games. You're always rolling the dice on if your teammates are good or not. DBD is a bit different because you also roll if the killer is good or not as well, and they make up the power difference.
Pretty much. It always depends on survs / your team. And there are limits on how a single surv can carry in a 4v1.
