Genrush, what else?
I hear so many killers complain about genrush and here i am, wanting to be a good little survivor that killer like to play against.
My playstyle atm is: start the game and do a gen to the first skillcheck. After i search for the hex ruin or just continue with the gen.
Depending on the killer I estimate the chance of needing to worry about NOED. M1-Killer yes, others not so much. Depending on my estimation i cleanse the totems i see or not.
As game progresses and gens get done and people get hooked, i eventually safe them if i see it convinient.
When only one or two gens are left and we have several hooks left, i usually search for reamining totems for extra BP.
When the gens are done i waddle my David King to an exit gate open it and wait for others to join me at the gate, or i try to be the big savior if someone is hooked.
After a lot of text, here is my question:
Am I doing it right, or am I an evil gen rusher? What else do I need to do in order for the killer to enjoy the game?
What am I to do if another survivor is extraordinary good at beeing chased and we did like 3 gens before the first guy got hooked.
Ofc this post is part evil mockery, but partly i really want to know, what killers expect us to do other then gens.

What you described is not gen rush. And even if you did gen rush I wouldn't complain that you should do something else.
Gen rush is strong, not mean. You should do what you feel is going to make you win.

I play the same way do a gen, look for totems, rescue and heal, search a chest, work on another gen, get in a little chase. Open an exit gate die or escape there's not much more to do.
The Main priority is gen's that's why there done so fast

Gen rush is part of the game. Obviously survivors are gonna focus on the gens, it'd be stupid not to. Until the game is fundamentally changed, gens are gonna drop like flies. Not much anyone can do.

As killer main I rarely complain about Genrush even if there are 4 ProveYourself/BNPs. It is almost not possible for me to do anything, as 2-3 survivors always are on the gen, while I catch another.
The problem for me is that guys, who succeed to do 5 gens in 3 mins against killers, which are unnable to apply much pressure on the map, go on crying that I camp or tunnel.
I may be not very good at this game, but it`s not a big deal for me. I just want to quietly play the game I like in any way I wish.
I don`t think, that genrushing is because survivors are meanies or else. It`s the problem of the game balance and devs must solve it.

If you're playing survivor, bang out as many gens as you want.
Anyone that expects you to play a certain way is laughable, much like anyone that's willing to change an effective playstyle at the behest of others.

There's nothing wrong with gen-rushing. That's like arguing that it's bad for the killer to kill the survivors. Its their objective; don't hate on them for doing it.

I see a lot of "made up rules".
Apparently it's bad to (here I will list things for both Killer and Survivor):
- Tunnel
- Genrush
- Camp
- Teabag
- Slug
- Play The Legion at all
- Loop
I think you should just play the game and have fun. If you're not actively trying to ruin someone else's experience, then you're doing fine.

looping is bad? well i'll not try surviving and wait under the hook

Lol, sounds good. GLHF

I get frustrated with because of two reasons. One, because it is incredibly strong, and two, because it is essential to the survival of the team. Neither of which I feel should be the case. My solution would be some kind of alternative objective, but I really don't know what that would be.

It's not a survivor problem. It's a game design problem. There are no limits to how many second chance perks or instaheals can be stacked on a team in a trial (MoM, Adrenaline, etc.), maps are enormous especially if you are on a low map pressure killer, 90% of pallets are safe if survivors loop them correctly (see through walls on Coldwind come to mind), and there are often so many pallets so close together that breaking them just means you'll be breaking another one in 10 seconds. I get super frustrated, but it's 100% on the devs to balance their game.

the general complaint about genrushing is not faced towards the survivor players, but the devs, who, after such a long time, still havent really fixed the problem.
if you as a survivor decide to do the gens, thats fine. you are just doing your objective and no one should be able to complain about that, but what people complain about is the amount of time it takes you to do so.
games can end within 5 minutes with a win for the survivor side. thats no where enough time to get anything done as killer, which is ridiculous.
TL;DR: ppl dont complain about the survivors, but about the gamedesign

You are an inteligent survivor @PunL, that means you are dangerous. You go to my list of survivors to mori ASP. See you in the fog ;-)

The genrush is perfect!
Only good people can play killers! not NOOBS!

Asking survivors not to do gens is like asking a killer not to kill. That is the entire point of the game.
