Running Corrupt intervention.

Patrol gens

Nobody on them.

Find someone ~15 seconds into match. (playing doctor)

land a hit almost immediately.

~15 seconds to catch up

Swing

Dead hard. Vault a god window.

Catch up ~15-20 seconds.

Find an unsafe pallet.

They drop.

Play around the pallet.

Mindgame once, lose the mindgame

Mindgame second time, win the mindgame, hit.

Grab guy.

Hook him.

3 gens pop.


Can you please make early game exist again?

Every single game i lose at least 1 gen to the first chase, often 2-3.


Do something.

If survivors slam the gens, and the first chase gets 1-2 pallets, you lose 3 gens. Its dumb.

    Early game change is supposed to be coming at some point. Hasn't been specified yet but it was mentioned in the latest stream. Really wonder what it's gonna be like.

    Yep. And even if you read them perfectly, predict the dead hard an end the first chance real fast, 2 gens pop instead of 1. Yeah... it's still GG in another 4 minutes, if that.

    So your first chase was 80 seconds at least. Thats too long, and up to you. Especially with Doctor.

    Thats my point. With as many pallets and vaults and windows there are. If a survivor gets to 2 pallets, its over, you lose 3 gens.

    You know that Doctor has a pretty good anti-loop ability? If you are not using it or are not good with it, improve and dont complain.

    i mean, im a massive believer in the motto "the only gen that matters is the last"- ofc with keys throw that out the window but oh well. so imo early game right now is about two things- down a survivor and get a 3 gen. you do that one you're golden- 3 gens are the key to this current meta imo because theyre so easy to defend and whilst smart survivors may know what you're doing it's actually really easy to force a 3 gen.

    Also, it's simple math.


    Game starts, survivors generally spawn in on the opposite side of the map. They are all usually a bit split up. Killer walks immediately to that side of the map. Most maps take ~20 seconds, the larger ones take nearly 40. You find your first guy. They see/hear you because terror radius exists. You start a chase. takes about 10-15 seconds of just holding w. If they make it to a pallet, add 20 seconds.


    Lets ignore the first 10 seconds, because survivors take a second to start a gen and find one, especially if they are split up.

    10 seconds + 15 seconds (1st hit) + 15 seconds (2nd hit) + 3 seconds (picking them up) + 5 seconds (get them to a hook):

    10+15+15+3+5 = 48 seconds

    All it takes is for them to get to 1 safe pallet, and between the 2 hits, catching up between them, you are gonna lose 3 gens. At an unsafe pallet you can mindgame, but even then its usually a 50/50.

    I agree man

    Really looking forward to this new "early game thing"

    Really can't think of a single thing they could do with this thing
