Please stop unhooking while the killer is chasing you.
Multiple matches today I've seen this happen or had it happen to me while I'm on hook. A survivor hangs around, gets spotted by the killer, runs straight to hook and unhooks thinking...what? That the killer won't down the freshly unhooked and still injured survivor? This is scummy as hell and I know there probably isn't much to be done about it on the devs side, they'd have no real way of punishing this, it's just infuriating to me that it happens so often. I just needed to rant and see if anyone else shares this sentiment or perhaps has a differing perspective? Maybe I'm not seeing it from all angles.
Appreciate your time.

For me as killer, I love these kinds of players who just hook dive and happily trade places. Lessens my work and more pressure on the remaining survivors, but as survivor, unless I see BT's icon appear, I just want to strangle the survivor that just got me tunneled from hook.
7 -
I'd rather have your survivors. At least I can dead hard and get to a loop in that situation. Trade ya.

Doing all the gens,unhooking safely and not getting caught til end and they leave you....
7 -
Yep. The minute you go down to NOED you know right then and there nobody's gonna look for the totem. It's straight out the exit gate.
6 -
Yup exactly,i didnt wanna be bias and bring noed into this but yes you are 100% correct.i mean ill stick around for a few min around the gate or somwhat look otw to the gate but im not risking it

Yeah unsafe unhooks suck, but if you're already going to run the killer to me while I'm on hook, the least you can do is actually commit and get me off of it. I'd much rather risk getting tunneled than die on first hook because survivors keep running the killer around me.

It happens to me even during the EGC and what pisses me more is when they do it with no BT. I don’t know why some players think it’s a good idea.
1 -
I don't even want them doing it if they have BT.
######### go for a smart save and if the killer comes back during the unhook, then BT will activate but otherwise, don't ######### run over with the Killer on your ass.
2 -
This is one of my huge pet peeves. Don’t lead the killer back to the hook. And DON’T lead the killer back to a slugged survivor that’s taken the time to crawl away and hide, and probably hasn’t recovered yet.
3 -
True,i rather be unhooked and die than never unhooked and died.atleast i had a chance because sometimes the killer will hit too early and the attack will be ineffective
0 -
No. I will continue unhooking in front of the killer and bitching at them for 'tunneling' whilst taking zero responsibility because I want my own way. 8hook0kill4life.
Also, I'm gonna hang around constantly and always put myself in vulnerable positions and complain about getting tunneled after the killer literally ran away from me because they felt bad about my sheer potato levels.
(Sarcasm aside, I wish survivors had the base ability to cancel an unhook so they don't get farmed by a sandbagging teammate)
7 -
I just want people not pick me up from ground in the open when killer is around,atleast wait til im behind cover..its not that i dont mind being picked up.unless its a dire situation please wait a second

The Noed thing is a BS excuse. You know why I say that? I play Michael Myers and most of the time, when the End Game Collapse has begun, I have hit infinite Tier-3 and have hooked someone. The other Survivors still come back and do their best to save the guy/gal on the hook. And frequently they manage it. So using Noed for an excuse simply doesn't wash as an reason for heading for the hills. Killers with chainsaws have insta-down all game, and people still try to save others from hooks.
The reason some Survivors leave others at the end is because they can't be bothered or they are cowards. I'm not trying to pick a fight; I'm just stating a fact. Noed isn't an excuse. You leave because you choose to leave, because you want to leave, and/or you are simply not willing to pull you weight on the team if you don't have to do so.

As an experienced dbd player i would always 100% of the time rather be farmed off the hook than left to die.
You never know what the person on the hook is running.
Maybe the survivor has DS/UB combo and all it would take it for someone to farm them for said survivor to escape.
I will always farm during egc because i hate being left behind and at high ranks the majority of players are using DS UB or even now soul guard on cases for noed.
0 -
As much as I hate doing so, situations like this are why I bring DS and Dead Hard. Getting hook farmed feels terrible and ######### you if you intentionally do so.
Of course if you have BT or fully intend to take a hit/go down so I can run away, then it’s fine. Either I have protection or you’re sacrificing yourself for me.

Its amazing how few survivors are willing to puposely lead the killer away from the hook rather than to it.
if they're "camping, proxy-camping" or whatever fun term we use now, you get spotted, and run to the opposite corner of the map. If they chase you? plenty of time for someone else to get the unhook, heal, and fully reset the killer's pressure. Even just by holding W away from the hook, you're removing pressure 90% of the time. If the killer doesn't fall for it and doubles back? you basically have their blessing to work on a gen. Hell, its usually the best time to work on "unsafe" ones, or work to prevent a 3 gen from happening.
Either way, if you actually adapt, you win. Problem is, everyone wants to be an urban evading claudette and go for a panic unsafe unhook when they get caught because they REALLY want that WGLF stack. Hell, getting hit immediately after the bad unhook gives them TWO stacks, further incentivizing awful play.
Of course, this exact scenario is yet another example of why Kindred is so powerful in solo queue (and in general,) but people still refuse to run it because "muh small pp build."

The only reason I would do it without BT, is because of a Mettle of Man/Deliverance Build I have going and will take all the hits.
1 -
Or its a really good killer and its pretty much ='s to suicide for both parties and would be enough to cancel the pip up or double pip thats needed
1 -
I run Kindred.
...with Open Handed...
...and survivors still make dumb plays while I’m on the hook despite clearly seeing the killer.
2 -
Sometimes it's the correct play. There are many variables, it's not black and white.
1 -
I'm ok if it happens in the first 5 mins. I'm ok w tunnel too. Killers gotta kill.
But it sucks if u do all the work, safely saved multiple ppl, did most gens, carried the game, and gets BS unhooked towards the end and die immediately.
Of course I have a thick skin from dealing w toxic gamers in general but still.
1 -
It's especially annoying when they then start calling the killer camper even though they are the ones who brought the killer back
1 -
It's fairly simple from my perspective. If you unhook me while the killer is chasing you, ESPECIALLY without BT, I am going to assume you are either hook farming me or trying to get the killer off your back by giving them an easy rehook (and gods bless you legends who leave the farmed player alone in favor of chasing the farmer).
Now. DBD gives you a choice on whether you play as a team or screw people over, and if you are in the latter category...well your playstyle is legitimate i guess.
However if you pull this s**t i will leave you high and dry for the rest of the match.
1 -
Disagree....as a survivor main that has been left on first hook so many times, I'll take my chances in being able to get away. If i get slugged again then so be it. If u end up trading with me then i will at least try and save u back and i always carry BT on most builds. So please don't be one of those teammates that just bounce...perks be damned

It's even worse when the survivor, before going for the unsafe save, runs the killer around the hook, preventing any other survivors to actually do a safe save. The person spotted could lead the killer away, but they want the save so badly they will do it no matter the cost.
1 -
People that do this without BT are potentially throwing an entire match away for some BP and a safety pip. It's infuriating.
1 -
Sometimes it is the correct play but what annoys me is when it just results in me getting tunneled and the person who farmed me in question typically just blames the killer instead.
Same thing applies if you have borrowed time. Hey Meg I love the fact that you have borrowed time but it's not endgame collapse and I have absolutely nowhere to go and it's not hard for the killer did just hit me again.
The survivors in question that typically annoy people don't do it because it's a strategic play they rush in just to get the points maybe have borrowed time not to save you but save their emblem. Now you're stuck with a killer who's just been given free steak and doesn't want to pass it up

This is really frustrating, and happens way too often. I understand, every situation is different, and I've experienced some situations where it turned out to be a good play, but once you have a feel for the way the match is being played and you know for a fact that won't be a good move, I feel like the hooked survivor should have a choice in the matter. I wonder if devs could possibly add a way for the hooked survivor to choose whether they want to be rescued if the killer is within X amount of meters...

Storytime Kids!
The killer was Billy. The map? Storehouse. There were 3 survivors, including me, left in the game.
I risked it all to unhook a Claudette. The killer was chasing another survivor, a Dwight who I took a protection hit for.
I got caught and hooked. I was on my first hook, and I was being facecamped .They teabagged at the Exit gates for about 20 seconds before they realized their error. Dwight rushed in to save me. Or so I thought...
Dwight tried to save me. He unhooked me inches from the killer. I got downed instantly (no BT) and Dwight got sawed.
After it was all said and done, the Claudette, who had BT and teabagged at the gates while Dwight died trying to save (or troll) me; had escaped.
In the endgame chat was a message from Dwight, directed at me: "FU*K YOU YOUR FAULT STEVE"
and this is why I main killer
THE END

happen a lot to me as well.
1 -
Lol. Why are you so angry about this? I leave people if there's NOED because I don't want to feed someone who used a ######### crutch perk.
1 -
Welp they are exceptions. Like the hooked survivor is 'bout to hit struggle bc no one came. Sorry but u either get saved with BT (since I always run it) or suck it up and hit second state.
0 -
I'll usually knock down the unhooked (sorry) to deny the unhooker their emblem progress, then I'll chase the unhooker for farming you.
2 -
Oh don't get me wrong, i thoroughly believe its killers choice at this stage, you're just doing what you do and the blame never gets thrown your way for someone else being a d**k :D
3 -
Oh believe me I wasn't trying to defend myself, just wanted to let you know that even though I do knock you down, I do it to punish the person farming you <3
1 -
Absolutely, but in all of my experiences, nobody ran BT. Nobody tried to distract the killer or lead them away. They just ran at the hook while the killer was chasing them and unhooked me. I don't see the strategic advantage there aside from them hoping the killer goes for me and not them, which is super scummy and still warrants the criticism in my original post.
0 -
The more painful one is some survivors with BT just do unsafe hook because they have BT, and if you down later. They're like "I gave u a chance, its ur fault"
Its not easy to win a chase with deep wound effect.
I would like a chance that able to relax abit, healing up, or at least out hiding Killer while still injured, or chase when not in Deep wound.
