How to Play Solo Queue

Core Concepts

• Solo queue consistency beats high-risk hero plans.
• Information and routing discipline are your core force multipliers.
• You must adapt faster than teammates can communicate.

Survivor Playbook

• Use one fallback slot for anti-collapse states (tunnel/slug/endgame).

Killer Playbook

• Exploit solo hesitation by changing pressure targets rapidly.
• Punish rescue ambiguity with hook-cycle timing pressure.
• Force communication-tax states through split objective pressure.

Common Mistakes

• Assuming SWF-level coordination exists.
• Overcommitting altruism while gens stall.
• Ignoring your own consistency slots for situational tech.

Quick Checklist
