Im getting tired of getting 3 gen every single game because of survivors not keeping track on where the last gens are. So im beggin you to stay on top of it.

That is all. Goodbye <3

    It's definitely a solo queue problem. Inexperienced players will both sit down on whatever gen they spawned next to and gravitate towards corner gens because they feel safer while still feeling like they're helping the team.

    A loading screen tooltip about this would be nice. "Choose your generators carefully! A generator in the center of the map may be more dangerous, but will be a benefit later on if you can knock it out of the game early." or "Choose your generators carefully! Leaving several exposed or closely-clumped generators for last can lead to a difficult situation."

    If you have 3 gens, do not blame only your teammates. That is team game and you all did this mistake together. So maybe be more careful about finish which gens first.

    Although this is true, it's also not uncommon for 3-gens to occur because you didn't realize where certain gens were or everyone was spread out on different gens and 3 gens popped within seconds of each other. It's not necessarily that they didn't "keep track" but rather didn't have the knowledge of where the gens were because they just hadn't been somewhere yet or just never found that last gen until late in the game.

    Nah, you can totally blame your teammates. There's one of you and three of them; 'your teammates' as an aggregate are going to complete more gens than you do unless you ended up with the worst kind of randoms. Furthermore, you can't actually stop your teammates from completing gens, as frantically as you can gesture spam and headshake at them.

    I recognize that it's never intentional, and most of the time it comes from a lack of knowledge of what anyone else is doing, but good players will have a general understanding that center gens should be done early whenever possible, and they will also know which maps are at high risk for strong 3-gens.

    If I'm on Azarov's, the killer is clearly trying to protect one side of the map, and my teammates just plug all three gens on the other side while I dart around the killer trying to work on one of his protected gens or trying to lure him away, that's a teammate problem, not a me problem. A better team would have recognized the problem and tried to pressure one of his gens, and succeed through attrition - and I have had randoms that cottoned onto this. Unfortunately, it just takes one player who doesn't to walk the whole team into the killer's trap. Lots of players will just go "killer there, work on gen here" and then go all surprised pikachu when the endgame turns brutal.

    It's why I always try to get the middle gen first

    Sure, you can still get 3 gen'ed but I feel like it's at least less likely if a middle gen is dealt with ASAP

    The only gen that matters is the last one. The first four may have been done smooth as butter, but that gate doesn't open until #5's been popped.

    So if you see a clump of 3 gens and you're at 2 left, do your team a favor-- bust one of them out. Get the middle gen done to begin with.

    You'll save far more games than you know with a bit of game sense.

    You’ll have to do it yourself & cut back on the altruism if it’s happening that frequently. Trust me. I prevent so many 3 gens by being mindful of their locations. Indoor 2 floor maps are tricky though. Azarov’s resting place & the other one that splits the gens on both sides can be very challenging. Try not to be the first one spotted and get that middle gen done as quickly as possible. If you can’t, get the NEXT closest gen to it done. Then try to get at LEAST one gen done on the other side. Never do corner gens first if you can help it. I go for all middle gens first vertically & horizontally. If you’re on an important gen that can prevent a 3 gen, stay on it. Cross your fingers someone else will go for a save on hook. In solo que they usually do.
