Sincerer question on the W meta

What do you do? Like honestly i feel i can play loops decently well, i ######### em up sure, or sometimes my brain just turns off and i cba to mind game stuff but this has been happening in allmost every one of my games: Find someone, down the fast, hook em, maybe go off patroling maybe quickly double back if there's an unhook get another down, etc.

all this takes... 1-2 minutes , a gen or two gets popped. At this point the instant anyone on a gen hears a heartbeat they just BOLT , like make the nearest LT wall, hop a window don't even try to run the loop, bolt to the next tile etc wich all results in a nice 10-15 loss with 1-0 kills

Like the best way i can describe the problem i'm having is i either 4k really stupidly altruistic survivors, ya know, the click squad, THOSE i don't really care about, but vs survivors actually playing to win, not just troll, in a say 12 minute game, i get 3-5 hooks in the first 3 minutes then 0 the rest of the game, maybe even 0 downs.

And the worse part is after some gen conga i'm just like ######### it i'll get my safety pip and tunell --- adrenaline, without fail the dude i actualy wana safety on flys off into the sunset.

I'm at rank 2 and i can't say it's been hard getting here, i seem to have found some kinda gatekeepers tho....

(Could just play blight / spirit / nurse but honestly i'd rather loose than deal with the bile)

PS: ow and also ruin seems ... useless, do you guys actually defend that? like it hasn't ever lasted past 5 minutes, usually gone in the first minute, across the map

    I play clown so using the antidote effectively makes holding W fairly redundant but certain killers can’t really deal with it

    Clown's ability to counter W meta is quite underrated.

    You mention you don't want to play Blight for the bile? Honestly I feel he gets way less bile than Spirit, to me it feels he gets the standard level of wrath from the survivors you'd get from winning with any Killer.

    But Blight is the single best counter to holding W in the game, as his power negates that entirely as you'll close any distance in the blink of an eye. He's really fun to play IMO.

    (Although I appreciate "play this Killer" is not a good answer to a strategy that exists in the game)

    I don't know anyone that hates Blight, most people think he's quite fun and fair. The people who trash talk you for playing Blight are the people who'll do it for any killer they lose to.

    And yeah the trend pretty much continued throughout the night (played pyramid head ~10-15 games). The games survivors actually did objectives at best ended up in a 2k , at the endgame, because survivors are altruistic, usually full 4 man escape.

    The games i easily won where when survivors did big woopsies. One on dead dawg where a jake went down and shack -> basement hook -> 3 survivors swarming basement, a few back and forths later and got my first kill, no gens were being done cus... duh ended up sweeping up with like 2 gens done. -- flamed for camping, ofc, because when i see 3 people running around shack i'ma wander off like "uuuuuh maibee ter 5th survivor doing a ge_ne_ra_tor!"

    And another were they were playing quite well. Like during a hook 1 gen and 1 totem would pop with a 3rd survivor nearby ready to unhook. Stuff like that. All untill 1 perticular hook all 3 of em ran over from a gen they just did, got two downs of that and kinda carried from there. Got 3K and a hatch but had this hillarious moment where i down an unhooker and hit the hooked person (BT) with the same Wave. The person with BT ran into shack and hoped into a locker to bait the pick up, i refuse and she keeps hoping out and back in the locker the instant i'd get close or far.....a few seconds later she died to BT Deep Wounds and i used Final Judgement..... god i laughed
