This is a massive pain in the ass.

I felt bad for the Meg as she killed herself to give Jane hatch only for Jane to dc

    Lmao, I just played a match as clown and two people DC. I could careless, players who dc = quicker match then on to the next trial.

    @Galklife

    You really overestimate my ability to hit people with a direct bottle I could barely do that up-close let alone do it consistently enough to make the add on worthwhile.


    But if I don't start using up my red add-ons they kinda just sit there doing nothing


    As for my ruin that thing was destroyed before I encountered my first survivor.

    The one shot takes set up though. You have to hit them with a bottle like a you're a drunk baseball fan throwing stuff at a pitcher.

    @Volfawott should i count every broken AF add on ( both from killers and survs?) and ebony moris? i got some of them in 2k hours of playtime

    and no im not using them in normal games (sometimes i do when i know surv and i want to make him suffer) but using them in normal game is a little bit overkill xd

    ofc you can use your add ons, but dont expect survs to be too happy with it (i know some survs that will DC after seeing those add ons, and main argument is "well if killer isnt dumb its close to impossible to do 5 gens" and why you want to play when you know you lost from start)

    and after 1DC, its not weird for other surv to DC why? you want to play 3vs1 vs killer with that build? nah.

    and not make it so surv only thing i saw many killers DC after surv got instahealed(thats only surv add on that is strong (maybe you can count 2 up and 1up instaheal), so it works both way (and imo red things should be nerfed for both sides)

    @ReikoMori lol hitting survs with bottle isnt that hard xd have you played huntress and used close range hatchets? its pretty much the same xd you dont need to land bottle on surv that is 20m away from you xd

    EDIT (i know its most likely joke but Volfawott told he has hard time with that)

    @KillermainBTWm8 i know pop is better, but most killers need perks that doesnt have usage but just works (because they would have to think during game) same with noed it just works, killer doesnt need to do anything

    pop is more consistent, ruin is coinflip

    and dont forget pop doesnt help killers that are busy with tunneling and doesnt have time to look for sth other than that 1 surv

    Try harding at rank reset?!

    Where do you think Rank 1 survivors landed?

    In rank 12...

    Insta-down add-ons are regularly met with DCs (See: Iri Head Huntress). Rank reset has nothing to do with it.

  • KillermainBTWm8
    KillermainBTWm8 Member Posts: 4,212

    All I get is incompetent teamates as a survivor while at rank 7 still getting grouped with rank 20s aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa and as killer it's calm and peaceful.

    Funny conundrum Rank Reset is.

    You get paired with people who do dramatically less than they're supposed to, still win, and just black pip.

    When playing survivor, the killer doesn't injure or hook enough people for your Altruism points, or keeps losing you in chases, affevting your Boldness points.

    When Killer, survivors arent altruistic enough to save their teammate getting One-Hooked and chases end way to quickly.

    It's almost like rank reset serves little purpose.

  • Horus
    Horus Member Posts: 850

    Thats why you cant end the game quickly both the survs and killer have to draw out the game as long as possible in order to get enough points to pip

    Why're you going all-out with your best add-ons on rank reset, where the games are usually the easiest? Counter-productive, if you ask me.

    I have legit never D/Ced before witnessing the ungodly slappergy coming off of this decision to directly BREAK the matchmaking calibration.

    Although I saw one Killer who settled for AFKing.

  • MarksmanSpecal

    So, if i got the answers right:


    If the killer is using an ultra-rare, that is not "fun", so it´s ok for survivors to dc. Ahm, ok.... So, vice versa, if i play kiler and face a Syringe, a purple flashlight or something else, i should also dc?

    I dont get u, sry.

    People keep disconnecting for every BS, not as much as when the pips didnt get lost after restarting the game, but it´s still a problem. Dont like the map = dc. Dont like the killer = dc. Oh, it´s Spirit, Billy, Nurse = dc. Oh, i got hit first = dc.

    If i would dc every time, my Ruin was broken within the first 30 seconds, i wouldnt play at red ranks, i would play at such a low rank, BHVR has to create.

    Also, regarding the "fun" - thingy, and the - sorry to say - most stupid "why you want to play when you know you lost from start" idea: I really think, no killer should be made the toyboy, which u can loop forever and a day, who ´s giving u chase points, and than leaves u. As a competitive person, i play to win, trying to be as fair as the situation allows. But thinking, the other side is responsible for ur fun, is kinda arrogant.

    I mean, if he wants to use OP builds then he's certainly allowed to. I don't know why people are acting like he should go perkless, and even then, saying it's okay to DC is still not okay, regardless of the killer's build. The same applies to the killer when the survivor is using some nasty add-ons.

    I'm actually kind of that this is still getting traction.

    Hell there wasn't even that much context behind the pictures.


    But I guess it might as well run for the list.

    In this match only two people got hit with the insta.

    First immediately dc'd and the second was the Meg who tried to kill herself to give Jane a chance.

    As I said before I'm not good with getting the direct hits of the bottle I decided to try it because I've never use the ultra before.


    I did not realise exhaustion base addons was such a contentious thing I guess I apologise for daring to use it.


    For the people who are complaining about ruin. it got cleansed before I even encountered my first survivor. Trust me it wasn't that much


    Laurie: Disconnected immediately upon getting down

    Ace: Disconnected right after being unhooked. First hook

    Meg: Managed to run me around Shack and most of the estate before I clipped her with a bottle in the yamaoka building she tried to Sacrifice herself to save Jane. killed herself on first hook

    Jane: Disconnected during Meg's sacrifice animation not after during.


    No I don't claim to be the Gandhi of killers.

    I'm not going to go out of my way to be a douche to survivors but that doesn't mean I've never been a douche when the opportunity arised.


    If you want a nice taste of karma the next match of that day got a isnta heal squadette.


    To the Xbox community. I apologise for apparently being a scumbag clown, it will not happen again instead I will return back to my Piggy and Legion

    Yours sincerely
