Every popular survivor main YouTuber every video there will be killer miss 20 of 360 m1 lol, this is quite funny, I'm killer main and 360 barely work on me since I don't hold m1 unless it's necessary, I go near them and m1

Is 360 effective for you guys?

    It's not a high percentage move. Sometimes they work though. Keep in mind a youtuber/streamer isn't going to upload many failed 360 attempts.

    Against new/below decent killers, it has worked. The only time it has worked against is when auto-aim decides to mess me up by making me go towards them but not actually hitting them. It's hard to describe, but if it's happened to you, you'll know what I'm talking about. These youtubers usually go against lower experienced killers, hence why they absolutely look like babies in those videos. In reality, they aren't going to show a ruin undying blight who won't fall for 360s or whatever.

    Short answer: works on worse killers, experienced killers don't fall for it.

    You'll notice if you try it a lot of the time the slasher will step back and watch you spin for a second until you're in a good position to strike. Think of the killer's slash like a cone, right? Anything in front of him will cause you to take a damage state. By spinning around and around you're trying to make it so you're not in that cone.

    Personally what I like to do is fake to either my right or left and then hard swing my character in the opposite direction so at the end of the lunge I'm on the side of the killer instead of in front of him and still in his field of view.

    It's better than just running forward and letting them get a guaranteed hit. If you don't have Dead Hard still look behind you and act like you do, it can buy you a few seconds while they bait out your bait, while they in reality were the ones baited.

    Not really. It worked on me when I was a noob. But as I got better it hasn't worked on me in a long time. Also you got to remember those youtubers play many, many games, I'm sure they take the gameplay footage where they succeeded in 360 a killer. But it usually only works on unexperienced killers, and something I noticed is that it has a higher chance to work on consoles killers not always but sometimes.
