Why is gen-rushing still possible?
Comments

Exactly, yet a killer getting gen rushed isn't his own fault for playing awful or the survivor being better? 😂.
Just stop it my dude, blame yourself if you get genrushed
1 -
Yes, if he camps and doesn't spread the pressure obviously IT IS his fault.
But again there's many times where you're applying the pressure needed but it simply isn't enough to scare red rank survivors away.
This thread isn't focused on "Haha you gen rush you're awful player!!!", its the fact that doing gens is the sole objective in the game, and it only takes 80 seconds each.
And if you're a good killer against a good looper he can eat up 70 seconds from you injuring him and getting a down. And this exactly is what encourages tunneling, I'd rather for the guy that just got unhookerd and get a 20 second down at max, than waste my time giving someone a speed boost, chasing him, then downing him and oh he's in first hook state (minimal pressure)

If you're chasing someone for almost 70s then you're not applying pressure.

Yeah ive only had it happen once, a group of reds were overly confident against my fast stalking infectious michael. But i let one wiggle free cause ending the match that fast was boring

My point is, if you play well you should be rewarded for it. And holding m1 and hiding in a bush the entire game shouldn't be given a free win in 260 seconds as shown in the video.Survivors PLAYED well if they were able to repair all gens, you didn't pressure them, they can easily do their gens, what else do you expect?
Btw, why do killers get rewarded for tunneling? that's the equivalent to gen rush.
0 -
So you defend gen rushing then wonder why tunneling is rewarded because its as bad as gen rushing...
You smell like b8
8 -
I defend gen rushing cause you say tunneling is fine.
If maybe they punish tunneling, we can fix gen speeds.
I smell like bait cause my opinion doesn't fit your narrative and POV? Get real man.

I don't know what game most of you are playing if you really think genrushing doesn't exist or it's just survivors doing there objective. I've genrushed in a SWF just to prove even when the killer is doing well there isn't enough time for them to fully get to every gen and stop the survivor. All I hear is survivor mains who's never played rank 1 killer a day in their lives. It's not every game but when a SWF with mic and discord shows up and know what there're doing it's GG unless you have noed and other endgame perks.

They said they 'nerfed' gen rush but they really didn't. It only affects multiple people being on a generator, and only makes it a few seconds slower.
4 -
I guess people forget that survivors are weaker role in this game where killer is faster, has a weapon and ability. Cuz of that, stronger perks for survivors. Even tho i agree swf breaks a game a little cuz of comms, but its not that often at least in my case.

Let's see you do better. Post the video. And play the card game. Let's see how good you are then, Mr expert. Cmon, go ahead! I'll wait...
2 -
And nice vid of a pre-nerfed nurse taking out rank 20 potatoes. Show me this happening to red rank survs vs red rank killer. A recent video, not one that was made in kyf, and one that actually shows rank.
3 -
lmao seeing like 8 people here defend gen rushing or pretend it's not a thing just amazes me. "not enough pressure" is a lazy excuse but anyways argueing here will only get you more frustrated
15 -
Riddle me this: You do realize a killer can't be 4 places at once right? So, how does he stop the gen rush when he's already chasing someone then?
5 -
You can check my channel dude, I upload at lot of videos on youtube

"Btw, why do killers get rewarded for tunneling? that's the equivalent to gen rush."
4 -
Here's another one btw
0 -
Hit N' Run, using slowdown perks, not chasing people for too long, making a 3 gen strat, slugging, mindgaming in chases so you catch survivor more faster.
Want some more? btw just realized you got a warning lmao
0 -
Oh damn imagine posting cringy pictures here lol.
Is that supposed to be a joke?
If gen rushing really is a problem to you:
0 -
Ahh, I get it now. Another surv main. Go main killer for a while dude. I bet your opinion changes reeeal quick. And main him in purple ranks, not potato ranks buddy. and what warning? 🤷♂️

As a killer man I’ve come to this conclusion a long time ago. get good.

This thread has really devolved

I like how the video you link the guy literally boast about how him and his squad won against OhTofu by gen rushing him.
4 -
I play on red ranks boi.
Maybe you should git gud and stop talking nonsense.
0 -
Yet I love how he said in a stream OhTofu isn't that great 😂
0 -
Someone thinks my clips that I've been posting over the course of years now are all fake? My disappointment is immeasureable, and my day is ruined.
1 -
Y'all Killer mains just forgot to apply pressure like you should have, my solution is to take a sticky note and put it close to your screen so you are always reminded that you should apply more pressure.
You could also learn Spirit and only play Spirit until they nerf her to the ground :)
I heard BHVR has a secret deal with headphones sellers.

It's funny how much you move the goalposts you never have to admit gen rushing is a real thing.

Sadly this is DBD forums :(

I don't think this video proves your point tbh. The guy isn't play against decent survivors.
Even if you think he does, the video still isn't good for your point since he talks about beating OhTofu at 2mins onwards (who used an ebony mori with billy) with his mates and beat him because they 'genrushed'.
I don't like the term 'genrushing' as if there is anything else for survivors to do. I blame the Devs for nerfing ruin and not doing anything about why its used so much (this early game EGC could be next year for all we know).
3 -
Didn't the team say in the post with the Ruin nerf that you guys are planning to eradicate ALL gen regression/slowdown perks for killers?
0 -
I play against decent survivors a lot but obviously I won't manage to kill them all in 1 minute so why would I upload an "ordinary" clip of Bubba getting looped when that's really not interesting in the slightest? 🤔
1 -
Genrushing is a bit more specific than just survivors doing gens. Actual genrushing really isn't that common, because it requires a bit of coordination and rather boring survivor gameplay.
What a genrush requires survivors to do is not heal, keep hooked survivors on a hook for as long as they can before the next hook state, work on gens solo, drops pallets and run to the next pallet as it's much more of a time waster than trying to loop a single pallet.
You really won't see genrushing from anything other than a 4 man swf group who really wants a guaranteed 4 man escape every game.
1 -
Show me a video of some non-potato survivors getting downed in 2-3 minutes, and for each of those vids I’ll send at least 2 vids of gen-rushing. Nuff said.

I'll just leave this here...

Have you not thought about looking at why killers want to stack these perks and maybe seen that it's necessary to run multiple slowdown perks on most killers (with the exception of a few) if you don't want to get absolutely destroyed? I didn't like having to use old ruin but I used it because I had to if I wanted to play nice. Now I'm forced to tunnel someone out of the game, force 2nd stage or death or slug if I want to win. Old ruin made me able to play nice.
2 -
Nothing stacked to ridiculous amounts even with old Ruin
It just made the time frame playable against SWFs bum-rushing generators
0 -
Notice how survivors still regularly spawn within 10 feet of generators? I suggest causing 1 survivor to spawn within that distance of the killer each game then see if they still think it's fair.
3 -
I agree why don't survivor have to work for these perks?like killers have to with they perks
2 -
Lol, at this point it’s just people who are never gonna change their opinion having a pointless argument
1 -
Here's my question! What about killer's that don't have the map pressure to stop gen rushing?
2 -
Here’s my 2 cent. Yes, there are perks and killers to counter gen rushing. And sometimes it actually works too, not all the time tho, only sometimes. But even tho that’s true, why should be forced to play a killer or run perks just so that I can play the game?
3 -
Sounds like you loose a lot. Just get better or tank rating so you feel better about yourself beating up on 20s. Honestly just sounds like you are having a hard time and instead of working on it and fixing your play you came here to scream and cry. You should man up so to speak
1 -
Nearly every killer who complains about a gen rush in post game chat failed to down anyone within 2 minutes of the start. You don't need to take the first chase available, nor do you need to continue a chase that isn't working out. Plus, the game is in no way over if 2 or 3 gens go on your first hook. So many killers overlook finer points of strategy.
Do you have a favorable gen spread near a hook? Consider proxy camping to get 2 hook states for the price of 1 or force a trade.
Is the gen spread favorable from the start? Concede specific gens to protect others.
A huge mistake so many less experienced killers make is picking up a survivor when they already have another on the hook. You are giving a free unhook the second you put someone o your shoulder. It's almost always better to slug when someone is already on the hook.

Yet you were asking for proof of me playing in red rank, I gave you my youtube channel where I upload videos.
