Kobing just before you unhook them and what to do to prevent it
Probably not just me but I find this extremely toxic as someone who sees a survivor try to kobe in front of you, especially after you've run the map when injuried. I don't run a map for point but because I probably have an unhook build where I could heal you quicker or give you BT.
The solution is to stand in front of them and watch them reach their next phase or lose one of their lives.
Once done you then have to decide whether you unhook them or not.
Yes this affects you and your teams chances of beating the killer but lets face it, do you really want to play with this player anyway?
I can only recommend everyone do this as toxic players will then suddenly realise the points they could have got for unhooking themselves means far far far less than losing one of their lives.
I expect only thank yous for this solution and you are most welcome :D

It is an extreme understatement when people say this community is spoiled lol

Lol I try and kobe if there's time just because I find it funny, and I find it funny when someone does it to me. I don't see an issue here at all, of course I won't do it when the killer is around.

You're seriously tilted because someone tried to kobe before you could unhook them?

It annoys me to...but i wouldnt watch them die over it 😂

Because it was completely unnecessary and selfish to do it when your rescuer-to-be has left their objective and run across the map to rescue you (and be rewarded with points, etc). You literally gain nothing from the kobe, so it's only done out of inconsideration of the other players, and that's what's annoying.

This.
i have done this (waiting for second stage when someone tried to Kobe right into my face) but only if they have been toxic/anti-mates before (eg making noise next to me)..

i'm never mad about someone try to kobe it's their 4% anyway, the one i hate the most is someone juking near hook

Actually you get 1,500 bloodpoints in the Survival category. I try my hand once if someone is coming to get me but that does not make me a “toxic” player or “inconsiderate”.
There is a 4% chance right there for me to escape that hook, 1/25 games will I get that Kobe. I don’t attempt with the intention of stopping someone of getting points... what else can I do on that hook? I just happen to not get that 4% and now I’m left to reach second hook stage- that isn’t going to help you or me, that is an unhealthy way to go about it and could lead someone to not save you while you’re on the hook.
I’ve seen it happen, one person spams unhook and doesn’t fully unhook the person so no one rescues the spammer from the hook.
If you “ran from the other side of the map” like you said, then it’s more likely that they wouldn’t want to risk kobe-ing because the timer would below 2/3rds anyway. Your example seems a bit exaggerated.

You gain points from it so “literally nothing,” is incorrect

Just attempt the Kobe before someone is literally 2 m or less away from you, but if you really wait until I am there that’s unhealthy.

Flip side, when I go to second stage just because someone had to finish a gen or loot a Chest before running 10 meters to unhook me... I will let go of struggle the instant they get near me

If their savior is right in front of them I don't really see the issue. Most of the time it doesn't work, if it does it's just funny in my eyes if someone jumps off the hook right into my face.
If they start doing it before it's certain if the savior can get them it sucks though. I sometimes see people do a kobe attempt just for the savior to get intercepted by the killer, then the person on the hook suicides once they enter struggle as "they were left to struggle 🙃"

If you try when someone is on their way, then that's up to you. Maybe they won't make it to you.
But if you're trying it when your saviour is literally right there with no obstacles preventing them from unhooking you, that IS inconsiderate because you've just wasted their entire journey getting to you and taking themselves away from completing other objectives just to satisfy your own self. You would have had a guaranteed unhook.
You decided to exercise an RNG element just because you could with the safety net that survivor provided by being there.
Had that survivor not been there to unhook you should your attempt fail, chances are you wouldn't have attempted it. So in that sense it is selfish and inconsiderate.
If you really want to test RNG, then give up your first stage entirely to it. Put your entire game where you think your strategy is and save others from making the journey to you to unhook you.

You have your own opinion of course but I don’t get why you’d be mad over a free unhook over an RNG element. If someone did that to me, I’d be laughing even if I had Deliverance/WGLF/We’ll Make It. You lose less than 2000 points, I don’t see why people are acting like it’s such a huge deal.
On that note, I also want to say that I don’t attempt if there are unhook missions in the rift because I know how grindy they are.

Nope hardly exaggerated, was a midrange map and left generator I was working on as other two were healing but example is irrelevant.
Like the boy who cried wolf the word Toxic is correct. My unhooking build would also have healed them quickly with borrowed time, perhaps I should have replaced them with perks such as slow selfcare?
Sure but to attempt to unhook yourself and 96% chance of failing each time but predict someone will unhook you before you struggle isn't for the good of the team.
To read some find it "funny" to unhook themselves but fail to see they lose benefits of perks from the unhooker then I guess they are the ones who should be playing in their own 4xSWF as I only want team players like myself when I play survivor.

Oh be aware I will usually unhook you if you try kobing in my face but only after you reach next stage... I should player killer Nea

On what I said about it being "funny" I don't mean I want them to do so, but if they decide to do it and it works then I find it amusing. And only talking about when they do it moments before they're about to be safely unhooked.
I'd never do it myself because the player about to unhook you could have a variety of perks like We'll Make It, Aftercare and more that would benefit me as well as them.

It’s nice that you were doing an unhooking build and all but personally, I wouldn’t have taken that heal with or without We’ll Make It, it’s still an 8 second heal and that’s 1/10 of a generator, even without my usual Resilience build. Perhaps that’s just me though, I’m confident and competent in chase, by no means an expert but I can hold my own and would rather so called “gen rush” than satisfy some extra point gains. I will say however that it was nice of you to put on an unhook build, I don’t see that very often at all.

It depends. I don't normally care if someone does that but if I'm doing a challenge or I have an unhook build and I see that then sometimes I'll be spiteful and let them get to 2nd stage. It all depends on what they've been doing in the match. If that's the only thing they did then I don't care but if they've been toxic or rather stupid in how they're playing then I just can't help myself but shake my head and wait.
It's hard not to get spiteful sometimes with how people play. I had two people chase the killer as I was getting chased trying to be toxic with flashlights and what not for about 2 minutes. Per the norm they were awful and went down in all of 2 seconds when the killer finally gave them attention. I didn't even bother healing or rescuing them until they started to actually do something. They have every right to play like that and I accept it just as I have a right not to bother with them after seeing that kind of crap.
I have had other players do things to me as well and I understand if I did something stupid like accidentally sandbag them or something else then I prolly had it coming. It's all in fun really. I get salty over it in the moment but then 5 minutes after the match is over I laugh about the entire thing. In fact I'd argue I actually enjoy getting mad over video games, not the hardcore mad but just that video game annoyance that really gets you into the game.
