I know I myself am not the greatest but I do pretty well in chases and having good game sense but the teammates I get just...yikes (especially as late cause MM keeps giving me yellow/brown ranks for some reason?)
And I do tend to win quite a few of my games but so many I don't get to have multiple escapes cause my teammates just love to farm each other and not help out like I mentioned (can't tell you how many games I get where I have to do up to 3-4 gens myself lord it's annoying)
I really hope MMR (I have doubts) fixes mm so I can get better teammates more frequently cause lately it's a big yikes

Well we can exclude matches where you get thrown wild ranks like the browns you were mentioning. That's a matchmaking issue and not truly reflective of a normal solo queue game.

There are a multitude of issues with mmr and why it's not going to work.

Firstly the whole reason we are getting mmr is because rank isn't an accurate gauge of skill. Yet, we aren't being told how mmr ranks "skill". We also aren't going to be shown our mmr. If mmr is to replace ranks because it's a more accurate gauge of skill, why didn't we just use that criteria for the current ranking system?

So what reason would there be for not showing us our mmr, not showing us how it determines skill and not just using its metric for the current rank system?

It's because there isn't confidence that it actually does gauge skill and also because they don't want us to be able to point out its inaccuracies or that it is matching us incorrectly. In other words, it's the current system we already have except without the ability to see the poor ranking and poor matchmaking to be able to call out the devs on it. It's a way to cover up the games issues.

The only reason they've given for hiding the mmr information is that it will supposedly be manipulated to control our mmr. This doesn't make any sense. If mmr measures skill...then us seeing the skill metrics...will make us play skillful in order to.."manipulate it"? So "manipulating" the mmr system is just playing skillful? Sounds silly right?

You're now gonna have no idea after a match as to whether or not you were matched correctly and no clue if the system considers what you did playing well. You're gonna be in the dark. Can't complain if you don't know anything right? lol

Here's another issue different from the rest of this...

The game is quite poorly balanced in its current state. The extremely poor ranking system, rank reset being too little, too much ease in ranking up on survivor is what covers up the games imbalances. It puts more potatoes against good killers.

IE in a perfect mmr system world killers would be getting destroyed. The games issues I just listed cover up these imbalances.

I can agree on balanced but it's also more frustrating when the teammates I get aren't that good. Had a game last night against a ghostface on haddonfield and the nea, bill and david kept farming each other like crazy while I did the only gen and they essentially threw and we all died (I died to egc) Sure it's more balanced in solo queue in a way but with matches like that I can't understand people who enjoy solo.
I try so hard to make solo work but when my teammates aren't good and won't help out I can't tolerate sometimes, sure I win some games but that's only if the killer was bad in some way

The vast majority of my solo matches are 3+ escapes. You will get matches like that every now and then, but on average the bad survivor teammates you get are still decent enough that if you are decent you will do alright. IE most games they're just slightly bad that you can manage a win if you're good. Rarely are they so bad you can't carry.

In other words, I think when "most" survivors complain that they lose the majority of matches because they have teammates that are so bad that they can't win, it's actually because they are bad as well. This is speaking in general, not specifically towards you.

Most games are winnable in solo queue if you're good. Most, not all.

I think the majority of people on here lack good self reflection. This is a big part of why I'm thinking about starting a series of videos where I critique submitted videos to help people realize how winnable a lot of matches were if they had played better instead of just blaming bad teammates.

Why may I ask. Personally it's how I play but it's god awful. I get teammates that leave me to die on hook despite running kindred sometimes (still don't know how people think this perk is good) I run the killer around for quite a while and I see my teammates doing nothing after getting hooked, and no one helps me with gens or totems so I'm not sure how anyone can prefer solo queue tbh

Because it feels like a more balanced and fair match.

If I'm in a swf it feels like we're bullying the killer with an unfair advantage that the game wasn't balanced around.

Kind of like if you enjoyed boxing as a hobby but for every match you went to, you showed up with a knife...does that sound fun, challenging, or simply fair for the other guy?

It's hard to honestly feel like I earned a win, or outplayed the killer when we aren't playing by balanced rules.

in I absolutely hate the solo experience Comment by Blueberry January 25, 2021

I actually like their concept to play as and against.

The problem is they're completely terrible. One of the weakest killers they've released in an extremely long time. Just so many problems.

They have counters, on top of counters, on top of counters.

-Victors locker hold needs to be longer

-Victor shouldn't be kick-able after a successful lunge

-There shouldn't be a notification to survivors of when they swap between each other. Is asking survivors to have their eyes open really asking too much? I mean honestly.

-Why is Victor so loud? It defeats the entire point of him not having a TR.

-Victor should be re-callable immediately, why is he able to be held hostage at all?

-While a survivor holds Victor, Charlotte should have Undetectable. This actually makes survivors want to get him off.

-Survivors near Victor when he's idle or on someone should be aura shown, not a location ping

Boom now she might be close to A tier. This may seem like a lot, but that's just how bad she is.

Right now play against The Twins as survivor feels like I'm a child having my hand held.

His traps would still be too visible on certain maps like the game, maps and OoO would still turn him into Machete man, and there would still be so many counters to him and no consequences to stepping in traps if injured so long as he isn't like RIGHT there.
Trapper is like 90% weaknesses and counters haha.

Oh I'm not disagreeing with you. OoO needs a rework as well.

As you mentioned there honestly does need to be more of a threat to walking into a trap while already injured. IE maybe walking into trap while injured requires a teammate to free you.

Trapper with his best addons still isn't even A tier and I don't think A tier is good. That's how bad he is.

I'm not sure about that addon at base, but at least 3 traps at base, traps on the map are more clustered towards the center, much darker traps at base, and a larger radius on the traps triggering would go a ways for helping him. Even with all this he wouldn't be A tier though, that's how rough he is right now.

I’d prefer this as well, kinda like Fire Up.

Basically.

They could also make the tokens work like DH if they wanted as well. IE it rewards you for playing in a way that's more fun for survivors since you're leaving the hook and letting them rescue. I like the idea of more perks that give incentive to "fun" game play.

They've got some options with coding that already exists.

Side idea. Reverse Fire Up. You start the game with max tokens and lose them as gens get completed. Interesting thought.

I'm with you man, I'm with you.

People like to look at how fast you can down with her Corrupt Purge without realizing that you probably ended up wasting way more time getting them infected/broken and then picking up the fountains in the first place than the amount of time you saved downing with the Corrupt over a basic m1. Not to mention time spent getting those people infected/picking up the fountain is also killing your map pressure aside from its time loss component.

I think people exaggerrate how strong her Corrupt Purge is too. It's good don't get me wrong, but much more out playable than people make it sound, especially given the cost associated with getting it.

You're also one of the tallest killers in the games for your mind games at loops.

Honestly if they'd just allow her to activate her pools from anywhere that would go a long way.

I don't believe that is bannable at all. He's doing whatever it takes to save himself.

The "working with the killer" ban criteria I believe is more referring to entering into a match knowing the killer from the beginning and working with him from the beginning. Those scenarios are very different.

One is a self preservation tactic when you're about to die and the other is trolling/ruining the match for everyone.

The reality of the game disagrees with you.
If the bar to carry were as low as you say, most survivors should be able to loop the killer consistently for minutes. The fact that that doesn't happen means that the bar is actually pretty high.
You can't argue with the actual state of the game and the facts and actual kill rates of the game. I know a lot of players like to invalidate BHVR's statistics and call them worthless, but the state of the game is how it is because it is.
Like I said, you're so good at the game that you can't even understand that the game is actually hard for a lot of people. Majority of survivors escaping 75% of the time like in your case is far from normal.

"ike I said, you're so good at the game that you can't even understand that the game is actually hard for a lot of people."

I never once said it wasn't or even implied such. That is what you inferred on your own.

"I know a lot of players like to invalidate BHVR's statistics and call them worthless, but the state of the game is how it is because it is."

The stats are near worthless for a multitude of reasons if you seriously want to get into that here. Kills =/= a real representation of the games balance. You referencing the state of the game with the kill stats seems to imply it's skewed against survivors, that is not the case.

I mean it already has a cooldown and often you don't get much value out of it even if it stays up the entire game so....there really is no need for it to remain a hex.
The devs have said themselves Hex's are meant to be extremely powerful/dangerous compared to normal perks, but you run the risk of losing them.....Blood Favor has all the risk with none of the reward.
So they should either make it not a hex; or buff it. Thing is they won't do either....it takes months, years even, to get one lousy perk's numbers changed by like 10%....

Oh I agree.

Honestly if they did nothing but strip it from being a hex and kept all it's current effects it still wouldn't be ran by anyone, that's how trash it is.

I mean jeez for hex's supposedly being stronger and no one would still run it even if it was permanent should seriously tell the devs how bad it is. That says something.

What's funny is you could do this same thing with a few other hex perks and people still wouldn't run them either...lol

Obviously not. If your team mates are actually getting gens done, while you distrac the killer you should consider yourself lucky as well.
The team mates I get don't always do gens while I am chased. Not infrequently I am the first getting chased untill the killer leaves me and the first getting a gen done as well. Sometimes I am even I only one going for the save after I got that gen done.
I'd love getting more of the team mates that you say you get frequently, but I don't. I get some of those that dc after getting downed first time, some that kill themselves on their first hook after lasting a 30 sec chase. I get some that just farm someone else of the hook withouth bt and go down instantly as well, resulting in 2 people hook and 1 gen done. I get some that just fool around to have fun, not caring to escape but to bully the killer. etc.
I said it already: You can consider yourself a lucky person when it comes to this game :) Be happy

Exactly instead of waiting to lock it auto locks one pallet if it’s abused and if you nail a hit boom the survivor is actually taken out because they wasted time these changes would effectively become the anti pallet perk it’s ment to be as you either drop it and it breaks or your locking it out and the locking out any you come in contact with including vaults

Honestly wish they'd just scrap it being a hex, remove the hit component and now it's just a permanent bamboozle for pallet looping. Doubt we'd see that though.

I like your idea actually.

I honestly wish they would just stop making hex perks if they refuse to make them more viable. The vast majority of hex perks are trash bar only a couple exceptions and even then, those perks we're only really worth running when we had Undying. Without Undying (IE the nerf coming kills the perk) hex perks in general just aren't worth it. Undying was a bandaid to fix how bad hex perks were.

I assume they want to keep the perk a hex. If this is the case use your recommended change and remove the cooldown.

No, not everyone can do it.
You are a gifted player and good at the game. Not everyone is at your skill level. This isn't hard to understand, but it may be too hard for geniuses to get. Geniuses are so far removed from the realm of mortal man that their standards are completely skewed.
75% survival solo q rate is ridiculously good and maybe only 1% of the playerbase can achieve that.
There's a reason why the kill rate is what it is. Most players aren't as good as you are.

I get what you're saying but you're missing my point.

My point was that his terminology was implying that there's a problem with solo queue balance, rather than an issue with teammates or his own skill level.

IE the implied reason for the results is my issue.

I also think that the way you phrase this is that it takes some really high skill level to carry on survivor in these solo queue games and I don't think the requirement is that high. The bar is actually way too low currently imo.

The mayority of you all? Then call yourself lucky, seems you get all the decent survivor players, that fit their rank and behave like their rank and actually try to be a team with the other 3 strangers, most of the time. As you know that isn't the case for everyone- you just stated it yourself: There are a lot of people that are getting to red ranks that struggle against those experienced Killer players (going down after 10 seconds, just searching chests, totems and going for saves/ never touching a gen, killing themselves on first hook or dcing as soon as they got found).
Even you should know, that your survival of 75% of your games in solo Q, has to be an exception, as it would change the numbers in the stats dramatically. Consider yourself lucky :)
Anyway, thanks for your experience although I am honestly more interested in hearing about other ranks experiences.

No, I get lots of bad teammates. The reason it works is because I get the killers attention and loop for the team. You know how to carry in other words.

"Even you should know, that your survival of 75% of your games in solo Q, has to be an exception, as it would change the numbers in the stats dramatically. Consider yourself lucky :)"

You're missing my point. My point is not that this is the average. My point is that if I'm doing it than so can y'all, and if you're not able to on average that you may also be the weak link.

My point is also that by your original post you seem to be pushing the match results as out of your control and solely because you get bad teammates. IE you give yourself very little agency.

You will love my Twins build. Undying+Ruin+Sloppy+Dear stalker. Its literally designed around 4 man slugging. To be honest, after Ruin+Undying get erased from the game, I think every survivor game regarding high-level will just be 4 man slug oriented. It really sucks because I like playing all the killers but its not fun playing killer if every game is uphill battle that gets played 1 gen or in EGC for 90% of the game vs ultra high-level. I'm sad that that slugging will be only way to win consistently with so many negative killer patches. Oh well, so be it.
I do not like slugging as survivor purely because it shows weakness in the killer's ability to chase within alloted generator time window so in order to fix generators, slugging is used as shortcut to scapegoat an imbalanced aspect of gen speed to chase to hook ratio.

Tbh 4 man slug is never happening unless the survivors are playing like complete potatoes or the killer just completely outclasses them in terms of skill.

I agree Undying will be dead and gone from every game pretty much once the nerf comes to live. Nerfed version is trash.

Slugging is the only way killers can win against good survivors other than camping or slugging.

Anyway wraith, trapper, ghosty, and clown all needed help as much as her maybe more. Clown will HOPEFULLY be better, wraith I don't see the invisibilty changes helping much at least not in purple and red ranks, trapper they might have made worse or 1% better. plague is buggy and controlled by survivors.

I'd say Clown is still trash. His change is a buff technically, but nothing significant enough to matter whatsoever. None of his core issues are fixed.

Wraith change once again is technically a buff, but nothing that matters. Both him and Trapper suffer from the same issue which is heavy addon dependency. Both of them need more addon power baked into their kits.

I actually think Ghostface is alright, maybe just some more power cooldown reduction at base and an addon rework as most of them are bad.

I was watching Otz on a stream go against a hacker, he clipped some footage and attached it to his report. Unless he was doing this to be extra safe in case they lost their copy or something, this made me think they do not record matches.
Just think about the logistics behind this, assuming the game is recording video for 5 players a game, that is say 70MB per player (assuming say a 10 minute game, obviously there will be longer games). So that's 350MB for one game, almost half a GB. If you work out how many game are played each day, this becomes a massive amount. Even if they were storing videos for one day, we're talking big scale here.
Considering stuff like the match enjoyment rating not doing anything (so I've heard), and also the amount of bugs in the game, I just don't see this being likely.
Not to mention this video recording would also have to be streamed from each players machine to some server. Most people have very slow upload speeds. It's not happening.
Some sort of server-side log recording is more feasible, but still, I doubt it.

Not one of areas of expertise so you probably know more of this than I do so that sounds reasonable.

I suppose this would mean the report system is near entirely placebo then. The devs have said quite frequently that this isn't the case though which seems a little contradictory as to which it is.

Not sure. Maybe one of them will clarify how the process works here in a little more detail.

"The matches are obviously recorded". Is this known or been confirmed? It seems like a pretty complex feature to implement (technically they'd have to store and transfer a lot of data to record every single game)

They've stated they go back and watch matches for reports of hacking and even if they hadn't said that I figure it would be obvious as then there would be no reason to even have a report option if they can't go back and check. Wouldn't make any sense.
