Why do many players choose to die rather than struggle when hooked?

    Its the proper way to deal with getting caught 20 seconds after the game starts.

    A few reasons most likely

    1.Could be a bug where it forces them to give up

    2.Don't want to struggle having to spam a button to struggle is very frustrating for some and can tilt some tremendously in a frustrating game.

    3.give hatch

    4.don't let farming teamates get points

    5.knows the game is a loss.

    I love is the survivors who wait for you to run across the map, only to kill themselves when you get there.

    I personally do it for a few specific reasons

    1. To give the other remaining survivor a shot at the hatch
    2. To get out of a garbage game. And by that I mean something like 2 people disconnecting very early for whatever dumb reason. Sorry but better luck next game to whoever remains and the killer, some matches are just not worth it.
    3. If I'm being camped and every other survivor crouch around the hook instead of doing gens. Sorry, but every second I spend looking at that shitshow I lose braincells and I'm not dealing with that

    All of the above but that struggle is probably the main reason for me if no one is clearly coming, when you see everyone ignoring you and on the opposite side of the map and you're slamming the input hoping to be saved, it kills the wrists/hands after a few matches...I know kindred is a thing but seriously I'd rather they just change it to a hold the button down thing. I've had a few matches where it glitches too.

    Mechanical keyboard player here. If its later in the night, I'm not waking up my boyfriend for the few points that spamming space is going to give me. If i can hit it quietly I will but they really needed to come up with something better for struggle than spamming spacebar.

    It sucks spamming x on a dualshock 4. The majority of the time, i die around 15% just b/c my damn thumb hurts.

    I'd actually prefer some sort of doctor/madness esque qte skill check. You'd still have to earn your last few moments of life, but with less arthritis.

    If you know you are getting hard camped and or tunneled.

    The game is a loss.

    No one coming to save.

    Farmed by teammates.

    Hate the killer being played.

    Suddenly have to go to the bathroom.

    Phone call.

    Space bar spam.

    Because you cant get banned for it.

    Sometimes:

    • team is fooling around and forget about unhooking me in the 1st stage
    • i got angry in 2nd stage tapping
    • when team comes to save in 2nd stage
    • then I sacrifice in front of their faces -> trolling/rage

    It' the same as healing. Both struggling on hook and healing are not time efficient things to do

    They are lazy. You wouldn't believe the lazy trash in gaming.

    I could ask why do people struggle as the last one left... it happens a lot as well.

    Sometimes your teammates make a terrible mistakes and you get cought. So you don't want to play longer with them. Sometimes the killer is campibg you, but you teammates are trying to farm you.

    Some survivors don't want to play against specific killer. Also survivors hate 3 men game.

    sometimes the hatch will appear right where i was hooked. so i lure the other survivor to me, and then let go right before they save me. then they get the hatch

    I almost always struggle. Even if I can't be saved I want the struggle points.

    Because they don't want to kill their spacebars on the obsolete mechanic.

    Even if I know I'm dead I almost always struggle to the very end just to be a good team player and give my team as much time as I can. Not everyone is as good of a team player though.

    Struggling in general is just annoying. Mashing the same button over and over again wears the thumb out, no matter what button Struggle is keybinded to. The plus side is, I found out through trial and error what speed I need to mash the button, so as not to over mash.

    I'm on PS4 and sometimes my thumb gets tired and I miss a beat, muck up the mashing rhythm or slip off the button. Especially after a few bad games, it starts to hurt my thumb and my nerd pride. Really wish it was HOLD X not to die instead of mash, it wouldn't be as frequent.

    That's exactly the response I'm looking for.

    Thank you!!

    I would be struggling more, if it didnt wear out my spacebar that much. My keyboard is more important to me, than some BPs, or teammates in a game.

    To rob the killer of potential BPs and rank.

    It's a -1 pip if the killer hooks and sacrifices all players with one hook each. Sacrificed all 4 players....not one DC, not enough "action" to grant a 0 pip.
