    I don't mean this to be rude, is English not your first language? You keep using words in a way that makes me think you learned English in school, not as a native speaker.

    I ask because the way you said your initial post, it's written like you wanted to imply that the average escape rate for all survivors above some skill level is 60%. If english isn't your main language, i could totally understand you not knowing that you accidentally implied something you didn't mean.

    Anyway, I want to make sure I understand what you're saying. Are you saying the much simpler point that there are some survivors out there, somewhere, who have a 60% escape rate?

    Obviously the 96% was hyperbole but I don't lose super often as Killer.

    I'm pretty sure I do play Killer. Why wouldn't I?

    It's true that my English is bad. If the expression is incorrect, please feel free to point it out.

    There is something hidden behind the average. Although this is just a comparison between top players, I don't want people to forget the fact that there are survivors who are working hard to increase their survival rate even in the midst of a terrible soloQ life.

    My guess is that some of the top 5% of survivors have a survival rate of 50% or higher. This is simply because the number of people who fall exactly at the average value is the largest number of all people, and in reality there is very often a wide distribution from top to bottom. It might be easier to understand if you imagine a 2d6 die roll. Only 1/6 of the total falls under 7.

    As a survivor main I agree with you. Far too often you see survivors performing unsafe hook rescues. If other survivors are pulling you off the hook while the killer is still relatively close you can't blame the killer for taking the gift dropped in their lap by other survivors doing stupid things.

    Maybe the end result is tunneling, but to me there's a major difference between a killer intentionally tunneling and tunneling created by survivors playing with zero strategy.

    I think the problem is that when you said "advanced survivors" you meant "some survivors who are good at the game," which is a normal thing to say, but, most people who play DBD would think that "advanced survivors" means "all of the survivors at the top of the in-game ranking system."

    The way you wrote it was fine, but because of where you posted it and because of how other people on this website use those words, it seemed like you were talking about something else.

    I think you're pretty good at normal english. The problem is just that some communities have slang (words that they use different from "normal english") and I expected you to use the slang instead of the normal english word.

    Hey, it's the best thing you can do right now if you don't want to get tunneled.
