When to sweat...

With MMR being a random mixup, things can be kinda confusing. I'll have games where I go in against really good teams and If you don't start off spreading as much pressure as possible you'll get stomped... but then I'll get games where I'm in that same mindset and I accidently end a game super quick with under 20k BPs for a 4k.

Just played a game as Pig where that exact thing happened. 18602 BPs for a 4k... I guess what I'm getting at... What does one do when they realize it's NOT Seal team 6 they're playing against but rather baby survivors who somehow hit P42? Do I "accidentally" let them wiggle off and then completely lose sight of them in the imaginary grass? I don't want to send the message that I wanna farm but, let's be real... NO ONE had fun this match.

    against babies or "bully squads" some matches open opportunities to end way too quickly. i'll just take a bad chase so they can recover. after a 4 man slug i also dislike letting them wiggle and recover because it instantly turns into a farm match, so i'll let loose before that point.

    You should sweat all the time. Show people the fallacies in this game for what they are. If they quit, maybe we can get some change that isn't cash shop related.

    I just kill em quickly. I am not interested in dragging the match out.

    I ease off as much as I can if it seems like the matchmaker threw together a typical hopeless solo queue team. I won't throw a game, but I'll end it at 1 remaining gen instead of 4 or 5. Sometimes they can't get out of their own way and there's nothing you can do. You've got a player that seems like it's their first time playing (let's be honest, it's a Leon), and 3 other survivors not doing anything. Can only prolong it for so long.

    But I always start the match off with the assumption that matchmaking actually gave me similarly skilled opponents.

    I always go for hooks whether I win or lose. If it’s a sweat squad at least the match is over quickly if they’re babies…. I still go for hooks but try and pace the game out to make it enjoyable for learning survivors.

    Even my baby survivors tbag at exit gates. So I'm turning towards 24/7 sweat. I stand next to them so they can get off hook and this is how they treat me
