What's up with everyone using OoO all of the sudden?
I don't hate going against OoO, in fact I love it because it gives me an extra challenge as a killer. But lately I've been noticing a LOT of people running OoO. I even had 5 games in a ROW where people brought this perk.
Did OoO suddenly become meta or something? Because some of these people who run it aren't even good runners or loopers. Just a genuine question, because this was a weird morning.

that OOO pretty good in SWF... same with Head On Perk.... With party chat in discord sure unbeatable...
that's why people run that OOO...

I run OoO when solo, so the killer chases me, that simple. I'm tired of only doing generators. I see so many complain about gen rush, so i felt like changing the playstile. What i get back? Every killer say i'm on a swf, the mantra for the bad killers: "GG SWF".

My buds run OoO while solo queue, (we can't play together because I play on ps4 and he on pc) and well he uses OoO just to practice how to loop and run tiles, maybe that is what is happening to you? People want to practice looping.

Hmm, I do know someone on PS4 who also does that. Maybe that is the case. Still, it is rather strange to find match after match of people using OoO all of the sudden
1 -
One good reason we should implement balance for SWF so we can stop having that excuse. I'm tired of it too.
3 -
Because people love broken perks lol

People run OOO as a distraction perk in SWF’s (The person who’s really good at chases in the group will most likely be running it to buy time for teammates to do gens)

Is this just a PC SWF thing? I primarily solo survivor at red rank on PS4, but I never see other survivors use it.

What does OoO mean?..

Object of Obsession

When I run OoO is because I want to train looping, I'm bad at it and I'm a solo survivor.

People just realized how broken it is. I'm actually surprised this spike didn't happen earlier.
1 -
I dunno, I find it as a swf perk, but it could just be that people actually want the sight.
0 -
And just how would you do that, because I don't think there is a way..
0 -
I know there are legitimate reasons against forced voice chat, I think if we at least offer the option and assume everyone uses it and therefor is basically SWF, we can balance the game around that and all survivors are suddenly on an equal playing field theoretically and there's no worry about what's balanced for solo play but busted with SWFx4 abuse.
It's not the only way, just the one I see best right now. I'm sure there's others ways but it can't go on like this. We can't have solo and SWF be so vastly different in experience and strength.

I love using it because doing gens is boring as f*ck. It doesn't really change much for me because there are a lot of killers that play extremely boring and tunnel of off hook. This way I at least get so see what's happening in the match since I'm always solo queueing.

I've had the same problem. And on top of that, I feel like survs have been just a lil tiny bit extra toxic. And by that I mean every other group has been a nightmare but the remainder have been mostly fine. As a Ghostface main I am not thrilled about the OoO thing. I'm also a returning vet in green ranks and get matched up almost exclusively with rank 1s and rank 2s, and my skills are just really not yet up to snuff for this. It's making playing killer like it was when I stopped playing in January, and I was just starting to think the game was kinda balanced (albeit broken).

Unlucky. I haven't run into OoO in months.
1 -
Oh ######### i lost uhm uhh "gg swf" cause im defintely just not bad or anything
1 -
I think its funny look at thr profile pictures and i can see the giant divide in opinion before i even see what they said.
0 -
it might be cuz of Otz's stream when he went against swf with one ooo in the team, there was this loong discussion about this perk being toxic, so some people probably run it on purpose to be toxic, now that it was mentioned at stream.

I've been running OoO in my standard survivor loadout for a while. I enjoy chases and this is a good way to ensure I get chased for most of the match.
1 -
I don't mind voice chat. My squad did it when we played. They have since moved on to other games, so now I solo mostly. I just want the old ruin back, and match making fixed as killer, and teammates that aren't boosted potatoe heads as survivor.
0 -
I've noticed the same and I honestly love it. Before I would guess about 1 percent of my matches had an object user. These people were normally really, really, really good runners. Now many more people are using it and they are flat out horrible at running so they are very easy prey.
0 -
Can't speak for any other platform other than PS4 but its mostly used by cocky swf. Mostly used by the one who is considered the best looper among the 4. They get your attention and hold it while the others Rush Gen's.

obviously they wanna get facecamped

SWF.

I don't know but they never run sole survivor.

I use it when I want to get some runs in. I have a strange habit of cranking out 3 gens while never seeing the killer because I tend to run away from healthy teammates. I'm always solo queue, so it's bait or information for me.

This ended up on my Google news page, tf?
To answer though, it's an swf powerhouse perk.
0 -
Here's the problem with that. If the killer choose's not to entertain the OoO user, than that survivor gets free information to tell their swf. I avoid OoO user's because you ain't getting none with obvious bait, but it put's the killer at a significant disadvantage though. It's why I believe that OoO needs a cooldown since it gives too much information.
0 -
Thats the main reason. OoO provides three people wallhacks without downside in a swf.

Pretty sure this is just a PC thing. I'm a mostly solo queue player at red ranks on PS4 and I've almost never seen my teammates running it. If a solo queue player DOES run it, it's usually just to take the aggro to make the game more interesting for themselves, since many feel that the chase is the most entertaining part of the game.

it is a good way to become better at looping killers and trying out new tricks like the dumb tech
0 -
Play ghosgface or other stealthy killer, ergo, suddenly its not such a good perk
