Why is gen-rushing still possible?

my guess they have to sweat harder or lose.

Gen rushing doesn't exist, its a made up word for survivors that do there job quickly and effectively against a killer not doing his job properly.

Gen rushing would be like whining about a football team scoring too many goals to early in a match ffs 🤣

Do thanatophobia, dying light, and sloppy butcher stack?

Edit - seems they do

I know it takes more skill than holding m1

Wait, weren't you that 'Spirit main' now hard defending survivors again? Right, wolf in sheep clothes, I knew it.

I've gotten 5 stacks before. It still suffers a similar problem with old ruin in that it's really dependent on whether or not survivors get skillchecks and survivors missing skillchecks. Sure it's easier to miss skillchecks if you don't the warning, but if you pay attention to the center of the screen it's not hard to miss them.

Ideally Lullaby would be great on stealth killers who can take advantage of the fact survivors won't hear their TR and are likely too busy focused for the skillchecks they might not notice you approaching. But keeping the totem alive on most maps is certainly tough.

I will try to offer up an answer to this..

Mainly alot of the streamers of this game are survivors they can not have to much going on as its very difficult to read chat this is the only reason I can think of..

if you look at people such as otz tru3 monto etc play killer they really struggle to keep and eye on the chat as well as play well as killer.. But when they play surivior they don't have this issue.

I really wish we had more rewarding perks like repressed allience personally.

Idk, I wish they could just change some core aspects of gameplay. I wouldn't consider genrushing a scummy tactic considering there really isn't much else a survivor can do, with tunneling etc killers can go to other survivors but with genrushing you cant really do much else other than stand around like a melon or cleanse totems I guess (which I tend to save throughout the game as I love a bit of inner strength). I have however drifted away from the game in the last few months because it just gets so dull... I tended to be a bit lacking on the generator front and instead go around finding the killer so I could go in some long chases since chases are by far, the most enjoyable aspect of the game for survivors however when killers leave you etc (completely understandable given how the game has been made) I would have nothing else to do besides fixing generators which is incredibly boring. For the first few hours you play DBD fixing generators is actually fun because it's so tense, you have no clue where the killer is and it feels like a huge risk. By the time you get slightly more advanced it just becomes incredibly boring. In my opinion, and I am not a game designer so I don't know how exactly they could go about implementing this, however if gens became a lesser part of the game, perhaps even having their time or numbers needed for completion reduced BUT more objectives were added (We currently only have 2 before we can leave excluding side ones like saving teammates ( 1: Gens 2: Exit gate). If there was some sort of objective in-between gens and the gate it could spice things up a hell of a lot. Again, I'm not denying that finding an idea that would work and then implementing it would take time, but personally I'd rather they spend more time on this and make new killers and survivors less of a focus, at least for a while but then again, they would probably never do that as they can squeeze tons of money out of players from new characters, though changing the gameplay itself would have a much greater impact.

Unfortunately, any hex perk is broken 20 seconds into the match by any survivor with at least one working eyeball.

clearly you're not playing much survivor matches. Killer is hard, survivor is hard. The only thing not hard is swf.

I think your post would be valid if half of the perks illustrated were even slightly impactful. Dying light gives more advantage to the survivor in free botany knowledge than actual help to the killer and Surge numbers are too low. Ruin and Lullaby are hex perks and until a perk that comes out to protect these perks exists, They're too much of risk for no real reward for when you actually want the perk to work. Only corrupt, Pop and to some extend sloppy have an impact, Thanto just being an extension to sloppy effect similar to how Quick&Quiet works well with Head on for survivor which is ok I guess. Maybe the problem would be less prominent if new perks like Surge were less trash and dying light did not give survivors free advantages.

So... Why are second chance perks stacked constantly but anything to make the game last more than 4 minutes needs to stand on it's own? That's some backwards thinking if ever there was. Maybe if hex totems weren't just thrown directly into the survivors face and gone in the first 20 seconds that would maybe stand up, but as it stands the vast majority of maps it's pointless to bring hex perks. Honestly people keep complaining about spirit and Freddy but expect to see a lot more of them with the current rate of how fast games are going. They're basically the only viable options to counter gen speeds and the devs don't seem to actually understand that, and I'm sure at some point both are going to get nerfed into the ground.

You'd have to be a pretty bad group of survivors to all go down in 2 minutes.

Swfs can make anything possible! You just gotta believe in magic! ;)

I purpose that we end all baby dweets before the grow into sweaty swfs. It cannot fail.

What a phenomenal question and input. I hope Peanits answers this, I couldn't agree more.

Any decent swf will be setting off your traps as fast as you can place them. i guess the survivors in your area are quite casual? Especially if 3 genning works for you.

Its quite funny how some survivors say "gen rush is not a thing, I'm doing my job", then they complain about camping and tunneling. A bit childish.

Anyways, the fact that perks like Corrupt or Pop ar mandatory in every single killer in order to compete means that gen progression is kinda an issue, some players say "apply pressure" but if the gens are still poping fast while applying some pressure that's the problem (situation were you hook A, start chasing B, C is going for the safe and D is working on gens alone and they still pop super fast).

Sloppy is not a real slowdown perk, survivors work on gens while injured because dead hard.

If you run discordant, some games you spawn in and immediately look to your left and see a yellow gen, then you look to the right and another yellow gen. 2 there and 2 over there. You go left, surviors hear you way before you get there, now again 1 goes left 1 goes right. You chance the one on the right. The left survior goes back to the gen. Now you hit the right surviors and he speed boosts away. You here the ding from the gen across the map, not even 1:30mins in. 1 person injured, the other back on the gen. You have a choice what do you do? Down the one survior risk the gen behind you? Risk getting flashlight or body blocked on the hook? Do you let him run and heal and go back for the other person on the gen? Or do you go find the other 2 surviors because you just saw another gen turn yellow? 4 surviors only need 5 gens. If you want to play a good killer and have a perfect game you need 12 hooks. 2mins on each survior. Thats not including Borrowed time, or Decisive strike. If every survior has DS hats 4 possible escapes. Thats like adding a whole other survior to the game now. Its risky slugging nowadays and now the new girl got a perk where she can drop pallet from your shoulder like ######### is that.
