3 gen killers who won't chase

If you don't chase at all, using Brutal Strength makes gen-kicking very fast. And then you can shock the other 2 gens immediately after with the insane range. Everyone will spend so much time in madness tier 3 and fail so many skillchecks I believe this is sustainable. Especially if you also hit people and force them to heal on top of snapping out of it.

Hitting survivors requires chasing.
Not saying its easy. It depends on the skill of the survivors. If we are talking low ranks then yeah it's probably impossible.

In a tight 3-gen setup that has already lasted half an hour people will stay on the gen for too long and you can get a hit in with no more than a 5 second chase.

I've only had this happen once that I can remember. Had a match where I was unfortunate enough to be the last survivor and just needed 1 generator. The remaining 3 generators were all extremely close together and the killer had already closed the hatch. The killer stood in the middle of the 3 where he could see and hear any of them. No matter which one I tried to work on the killer was on top of me within a couple of seconds.
I would run away. He wouldn't chase me. He would just hit the generator to eliminate what little progress I had made and go back to the point in the middle of the 3. I tried several times. Finally I realized I wasn't going to be able to get one of the final 3 gens. I went and found every totem and cleansed it. I found every chest and searched it.
I would occasionally sneak up to a side of one of the gens where the killer couldn't see me and tap it just to make him run to it. After about 10 minutes of that the killer messaged me and told me he was going to report me for holding the game hostage and he wasn't going to allow me to get one of the final 3 gens so I may as well just come allow myself to be killed.
I was actually about to do just that. At least until he told me he was going report me and I was holding the game hostage. After getting the message I ran to the furthest corner of the map and stood there for 20 minutes until he finally DC'd.

Find the hatch and wait for your teammates to get themselves killed.

Long story short it's incredibly hard to break a 3 gen strategy. While possible to do of someone hard focuses 3 gens. Chances are your gonna lose. Best thing you can do is get another survivor's attention and break the strategy.

The best counter to this is to gentap, run up to it, tap it and work on it, because of how gens work eventually you will complete the generator even if it is a slog, and bonus, if he focuses on one generator then you are free to do another

Was the killer's name "wasting your time"?

I think its not easy to defend 3 generators from 4 survivors. If they split and swarm 2 generators killer wont stop them.

There isn't much to be done if the gens spawn in such a uneven way. If a killer isn't going to chase someone then it almost necessitates that someone just go down so the killer has to move to a hook. The best way of defeating the three gen is to go to the largest density of gen spawns and do those first.
Though considering how the game is...predisposed to going faster than it should three gen set ups are the best way to preserve your gatekeeper score.

Was this during the PTB for patch 2.0.0 where you could close the Hatch and the Survivor had to finish the gens to escape? If it wasn't then why didn't the EGC start after the Killer closed the Hatch? I was thinking that the EGC would've killed you or you could've opened a gate.

Wow. i was apparently on autopilot as I typed that. Should have said killer had already found the hatch and it was right in the middle of everything. I'm so used to saying the killer closed the hatch that it just came out that way.

So there's no counter 🤣

Personally I say let the 3 gen happen and then just go nowhere near those if the killer is protecting them, let the game go on for hours while they sweat trying to protect gens nobody is touching.

I'm asking what I can do as a solo survivor with teammates who don't realize whats going on. He said the counter is teammates with good game sense. Since I already said that's out of the picture, I am not wrong to reply to his comment that there's no counter.

That's the same in any game, though. Sometimes you get bad teammates that don't know how to play against something or counter something effectively. There's no secret here that's going to make you win the game in a team game yourself against a killer who is 3 gen no chasing and your team doesn't split pressure gens.
Like, beyond that, what else do you expect? That everything is going to have an easy, clear cut counter? That's not the way it works. And I don't know what game you're playing to run into these killers so commonly and in "several games in a row" but I rarely ever run into 3 gen killers that commit that hard to the strategy, and when they do it's simply a losing battle for them, just a really slow one.
You could just leave the game or let him down you near a gen by a hook, I guess?

As solo the only thing you can try to do is keep working on one gen while the killer isn't looking and then run/hide when they start to come back and if you have to run them do your best to try and make them go to the other side of the map and don't waste pallets you'll need that are close early. Long process but by the time your teammates 3 gen themselves the killer will have to bounce between the gen you've been pressing and whatever gen the randoms throw themselves at.

Seriously?
This is stupid to complain about.
Would you prefer if the killer just tunneled/camped you instead?
It's just good strategy. A good killer will focus more on applying pressure on the map, so why complain?
I usually deal with these kinds of killers by trolling them enough to want to chase me.
Running right up to a killer using this strategy and doing 360's (successfully) will usually irritate a killer into giving chase, especially if one can manage to bait and avoid multiple attacks.
The worst that can happen is you get killed (at a certain point, it's better than a seemingly endless match).
Either way, just jump into another match.
