Trying to squeeze a solo survivor game during halftime of the super bowl. Literally dodged 6 straight games. Pathetic.

    I'm not normally that fussed but yeah it's not nice when survivor queues can take minutes. Especially if there is seemingly no reason to dodge.

    I think dodging SWF is cheese, but I understand why weaker players would want to do that. Dodging any lobby with a solo player is so lame.

    A 3 man swf can be a huge pain in the butt, too. That means the solo gets unlucky.

    Its ok just do like all these killers arguing  how they dont have to play with certain things do and derank yourself, the ques are instant and you never get dodged people can shame it all they want but I didn't pay for lobby master 3000 I paid for dead by daylight and as long as I don't DC enough for a ban then who cares whether they have fun, do you think they care about ruining your game? Do you think they care if you  have fun getting dodged for sometimes 2 hours at a time only to get some laggy match where some poor guy gets face camped right from the start or the killer dc ? Putting me right back in lobby master 3000..... No I'm fine and  I don't care a bit if they're miserable because that's the way they are to me and as some of you have said before when survivors complain " it's not your opponents job to make sure you have fun"

    Some tips...

    Ready up asap. I dodge people who don't ready up fast enough because too many idiots make a last second switch to a toxic loadout.

    Don't have toxic in your name. I'll gladly send you back to the waiting queue.

    Don't be a Squadette.

    Only time I leave or "dodge" is when a survivor has above 250 ping

    Because instead of doing what I do and leaving when I have crappy connection as a survivor, they decide to stay and whine at the end for some reason. Just leave the lobby, I am not going to drop my killer lobby for 1 person.

    I dodge for clones and ping over 300.
    I've had many games where it was sub 300 and the survivor will still start teleporting away even if I should be in lunge distance and they uses their exhaustion perk on 2nd or last hook.

    Most of these 6 dodges were insta. I'm not running any items. I'm running Ace with casual clothing on. It's just nuts how wimpy a lot of these killers are.

    I dont personally dodge. If it's all toolboxes I'll throw on hangman's trick. If it's flashlights and medkits I lose all interest in the conventional definition of winning and play leatherface with Franklin's Demise. I give a chill game and let anyone who isn't toxic go. Anyone who is toxic gets camped.

    This is true. It's far too likely for the SWF to be toxic. Sometimes they're nice, but a lot of time you hear things like "the random sucked" or they gang up on you 'cause how dare you stand up for the killer.

    This. Too many times survivors are fooling around switching characters, outfits, items, back and forth, or stay in a 700 ping lobby hoping for some magic to happen.

    Aren't they openly complaining about queues? Ready up asap before joining and game on! If ping is over 300, leave right away, don't wait until 10 secs are left. You bug the lobby for the other players.

    They most likely dodged because of the other guys in the lobby. Don't forget that killers dodge for a reason and not because they want to play lobby simulator.

    Because of the high population of survivors currently (easier to get points), some get matched in lobbies that they shouldn't. These mismatches have high pings, which is a very valid reason to dodge when people don't leave themselves. There are 3 other survivors in that lobby, it's not necessarily you, that the killer is dodging.

    Here's some more..
    2+ toolboxes means its either genrush mania time or a sabo squad. Neither is fun for me, so that's a dodge.
    If all survivors got 150+ ping, I might consider dodging based upon how bad the "top ping" survivor's ping is.

    Lol. You killers are so toxic. You act like survivors deserve to sit in lobbies for ages, because the game is designed a certain way. Grow up. It's a game.

    The sweet irony is all these stories on reddit about killers disconnecting so survivors can't get out with their lanterns.

    I don't endorse it as it's not nice however there is some kind of karma at play here. All killers wanted for years was for survivors to leave the game once the gens are done, yet they would try to stay in as long as possible making sure the killer sees them tbag, or delaying the game for another 5 minutes because they wanted to go look for the hatch rather than using the open exit gates.

    Now survivors are begging killers to just let them go straight out of the gates :lol:

    Some do.

    You come into my lobby with "toxic" in your name, I click on your profile and see you're part of Ochido's group then you go right back to waiting. Nobody wants to play with idiots like that.

    Funny now that you mention it I haven't had a killer D/C either. Most games we arent winning because solo players aren't doing gens but still, the ones we did win no d/c.

    But yeah survivors seems worse than ever. I can understand the solo players who d/c because they're pissed off nobody comes to rescue them (though if they're already on hook they might as well just get sacrificed), but the sheer amount that d/c just so you cant get the hook for the lanterns is astounding. Really ######### petty.

    I had several SWF DCing in groups since they didnt want to verse certain killers (happened with spirit, doc and hag)

    Then I was blamed by the remaining plebs that I didnt let them farm..... just lmao :lol:

    Nope I do just fine at rank one killer the crying wont end until you have a survivor start in struggle and then it might not even and I won't deal with lobby master 3000 I'll derank like you've admitted to doing plenty of times get instant lobbies and have fun , its not anyone on this forums fault for the way the game is maybe except the devs of course but hey if you can't beat them join them I'm deranking and IDGAF who likes it because I've heard the killers say plenty of times it's not their job to make sure we have fun so guess what?

    Yes I will , you aren't trying to fix it by telling people not to dodge or derank to fix these lobby  issues either and  I refuse to waste my time waiting anymore I'll do what all of you say you do and have instant lobbies, you and I have both seen it all over these forums, nobody cares to try and fix it so  I don't care anymore 2 hours for one game made me say enough is enough who cares I'll just be part of the problem so I can enjoy a game I bought without getting dodged for ridiculous reasons like me having a toolbox or being a Claudette

    Dodging SWFs is not being part of the problem, refusing to adjust the game to SWFs is the problem.

    Maybe so but that's not any survivors fault at all , if the devs tested their games at high ranks we wouldn't have this problem I get why people don't like swf because of the communication making up different perks and I get that somewhat, but you don't always run up on those death squads I rarely see them at rank 1 killer where I can be like wow these guys got me and I just couldn't do anything, I think if we Nerf the strongest killers plus add ons THEN re balance survivors since most killers will be pretty close to equal in effectiveness and you will have a much better product on a even playing field instead of survivors balanced around the absolute most ridiculous combination possible by the killer , buff open handed to let anyone view eachothers aura perks within a 8 meter range to make communication not so powerful, you can see something better instead of having someone try to tell you and solo would get the love it needed hopefully making the DC rate for solo drop , but that's just my opinion no hate here just shooting it straight the way I view it

    Well yeah, but there's no way to be a powerful monster if the player behind it isn't skilled.
    Were those killer players expecting to be fed with a baby spoon? That's cute.

    The biggest issue with swf is the toxicity. Being a team against a stranger, and having people to shoe off to just results in the most frustrating gameplay experience.

    The bad ones ruin it for everyone else.

    Not bait, just a proper reply to someone who needs to intentionally derank to do well.

    You could've loaded in too quickly and the Killer thought you were part of an SWF or the Killer looked at your profile and saw you had a lot of the trophies/achievements unlocked and thought you were going to be a godly player and decided to dodge.
