why do survivors do that one thing?

why is there always that one survivor that just doesn't ready up and makes everyone else wait for the countdown? they don't even do the last second switch or anything 99% of the time

    Hey, let me do Fashion by Daylight while you are all waiting for me!

    They’re probably eating/drinking or using the bathroom.

    Some people just need to get up real quick and do something. I know I've done it a couple times before if I need to get up to take a leak.

    I know what you mean otherwise. Some people kind of use it as a tactic. I've heard it from either side. Some people apparently know how to check what killer they're going against for some reason? Maybe that's an old trick, but as an example, killers would switch last second sometimes to avoid certain people like that. If you're a Hag player and somebody in a SWF group knows it and shouts that out to their friends, everybody is going to know to bring flashlights and urban evasions. As for survivors, I see them try to use last second switching in their favor to randomly switch to a character that has a decked out build, for example switching from a default Meg over to a "toxic Nea" with a key or other high tier item.

    I would complain about people taking forever but I'm not exactly innocent of it either, although I don't go just waiting out every single timer. I'm usually good about it. But I try to be understanding.

    In my case it's usually that i've readied up for queue and immediately change my mind to go for a smoke, click leave, and unbeknownst to me still get thrown in a lobby.

    I've had survivors who wait until six seconds and just leave (and they call us killers toxic and trolls)

    Taking a piss yes, but everything else should be done before youre in lobby

    Agreed. Only time i dont ready up immediately is if i see all three other people playing as the same survivor, and i decide to play along and make sure i got at least something on whatever survivor they're playing

    I don't have 2 monitors and I tend to tab out and periodically check the game while in a queue. A lot of the time I check just after that weird 15-second ready lockout has been reached, or during the offering/loading screen.

    So I'm that survivor at times. And that killer too, I guess, as if I see I'm in a lobby I just press ready instantly as either role.
