    You need to look up the definition of entitled dude ,i'm sorry to burst your bubble but no one wants to w8 a full sacrifice because killer decided to face camp them ,,you on the other hand thinking that they have to suffer that so you can finish gens is entitled,,,games are supposed to be fun and tbh i don't even think survivors doin gens while a person is gettin facecamped are having any fun,you just assume people will play the way you want them to play,,if you got that much of a problem with people giving up on hook when facecamped find a few people to swf

    The thing is, I did not choose to me matched with rage quit mcgee, i cold not tell the thought process of said person or mannerisms of said person in the lobby. It is not entitled of me to complain about some self centered person rage quitting when their version of fun is ruined.

    They should not play an online game if they are inclined to do things like this. Suck it up or take 5 minutes to chill out.

    Thinking that you deserve a certain type of behavior/recognition just because is being entitled ,,i cannot explain this in a simpler way,,No version of fun includes being stuck on a hook unable to play the game,,,you asking a person to waste his time doing nothing but watching his hook stages progress so you can do ur gens and leave,,If anyone should take a break from online games it's you cuz you're the one thinking a person has to waste his time for you simple as that

    Exactly the survivor camp, he is absolutely not having fun, some will say camping = free win yes in team free win thanks to the vocal cheat because you can say say go gen rush except that in pu = no vocal so we are playing at game as it was designed "we're going to dehook".

    The killer who camps is just a big loser, he is bad at hunting so when he arrives to catch a survivor he camps to make 4 easy kills without knowing how to play, do you find it normal that a big loser kills 4 good players? me no.

    If I waited out the timer or took the "5 minutes" after every game I got face-camped and tunneled to death I'd be penalised for a week lmao. Better to uninstall the game at that point and move to something less toxic ✌️

    But yeah, sure. Take more away from survivors, nerf them into the ground and give more buffs to whiney killers.

    Your logic is flawed by blind us vs them bias.

    Forcing a survivor to stay in the game is not a buff to the killer... a survivor leaving asap makes the game easier if not a free win for the killer.

    how can you compare those 2? The one thing is literally griefing your whole team and the other is a strategy to win your game? Dafuq

    Because camping is lame

    If my teammates are doing gens I'll stay on hook to keep the bonehead killer company while my team gets an easy escape.

    If they are not doing ######### at 5 gens while the killer dances around me like their some special skilled player I will suicide on hook.

    You can't force players to stay in a losing match.

  • Phantom_
    Phantom_ Member Posts: 1,373

    No. You're just making statements based on assumptions. I never specified when SD-ing on hook would be okay. Or which buffs I meant. Also, I play both sides equally so don't give me that nonsense argument of me making it us vs them.

    I don't struggle much as a killer to get a 3k/4k. I don't camp nor tunnel. If a surv does suicide on 1st hook early game or DC's, I do go easy on the others. Because I know how that feels as a surv.

    As survivor, I play 99% soloq, and I've had many games in a row where I've gotten face-camped on 5 gens, hard-tunneled, or where other players are too afraid to go for hook rescue. After a certain amount of games, I'm done with wasting my time and do as I please. I don't owe my free time to survivors that are hiding in the bushes or not going for a save. I'd rather just move on to the next game.

    Obviously, I wouldn't do that in a team where people are actually trying to play the game and aren't just hiding. But you do you. 🤷

    I doubt you can see every single situation from the hook, sometimes ppl are not doing gens cuz they are busy with other #########. For example if the Killer is keep juggleing around with each survivor to keep everyone busy and away from the hook. I have seen too many situations where ppl suicide cuz they think the others where not doing anything meanwhile the team was ACTUALLY busy. Also only cuz you hit struggle doesnt make you lose your game, do you also dc instantly as Killer if 3 gens pop before your first hook? Learn to get a hold of yourself dude

    Also only cuz camping is lame to you doesnt mean it is griefing or trolling, it is still still a strategy even if you dont acknowledge that, you are not that special to define that I am sorry.

  • I_am_Negan
    I_am_Negan Member Posts: 3,756

    Yes you are right I'm blind I can't see my teams. They are those green yellowish looking blobs moving around? Right?

    No I don't DC I'll try to get what points I can get until the last gen is done then open the gates. I don't camp I play fair 12 hook program.

    Don't put words in my month I didn't say grieving or trolling I said it's lame I'm entitled to my own opinion.

    I took a break from this game, but really I should of also took a break from these forums too.

    Your first reply was "same could be said about camping". So you tried to compare those 2 which I tried to show you that you cannot really compare them. If you ddint meant to compare them then dont imply it. Anyway sry if it came across more rude then it should be.

    What about the survivors that do it because they got found first?

    What about the survivors that do it because they don't like the killer?

    What about the survivors that do it because they just want to?

    This isn't just because of campers. There are many other situations where a survivor does this for seemingly no reason and it should be prevented..

    Idk I don't speak on their behalf.

    And yes, I agree that in some cases it's really not valid, but in a few it is. But to remove it completely as a mechanic just because of a few is nonsensical to me. They could make it so that if a player does suicide on hook two games in a row, they then get penalised, same as with DC-ing.

  • Zozzy
    Zozzy Member Posts: 4,759

    It would need at least a 5 game track for the penalty.

    I just got peeved because i had 6 games in a row where someone just left asap for seemingly no reason or because the killer was proxy. The thing is that Kindred showed me why the killer was there. The survivor they were after was looping at the hook or just standing there.

    Finally had a win streak to get me out of mmr hell and it was ruined by this. I guess it wasn't a skilled play by me to join a match with these people without reading their mind.

  • DY86

    Because its either that or the dc penalty. What do you think is more favorable?

    besides, its also a tool that can be used when there only 2 left and say 4-5 gens still. That way u can give ur teammate a chance to get the hatch before the killer finds them.

  • I_am_Negan

     Anyway sry if it came across more rude then it should be

    Don't worry about it.

    I just really dislike camping. I believe it's the number one reason why there is so many problems with this game.

    I wouldn't mind it as killer if it gave me full credit for all hook stages.

    Trying to get certain achievements or difficult tome challenges is super unfun when someone kills themselves on first hook.

    Same with DC's

  • sonata93
    sonata93 Member Posts: 418

    Yeah, true. Which I why I think something should be implemented in the EG where killers can hurry up the timer or something, especially when it's survivors bm'ing at the exit gate.

  • Araphex

    So let's just penalize survivors even further by forcing them to sit on the hook and not have a chance to get off or leave earlier because their teammates aren't doing anything to help save them. I'll never understand why people here just want to penalize players more than what they already get penalized for, or for things that don't require penalizing. So yeah, just make the game less fun. Makes sense I guess.

    they should think of that before allowing someone hit stage 2 on the first hook like ?? Why would I think of someone who didnt have the decency to think of me. Your line of thought is honorable but it goes both ways
