Midwich Elementary School is becoming a huge problem (EDIT - OoO is the larger problem)

Can I just say that I don't know exactly what it's like here on this forum when it comes to sides, this was my 1st post but I never camp or tunnel anyone intentionally. While both camping and tunnelling is bad play, it isn't trying to take the game hostage. The game does end eventually and people can move on quite quickly usually.

I'm by no means a Killer or Survivor main. I just like playing the game and I try to do it a fairly as possible, sometimes against my own enjoyment of the game but honestly I'd rather just lose and move on than play like a scumbag and win.

No one should be entitled to win any game.

While that's great I think that it would be far more interesting to see a variety of perks not just the meta nearly all the time. I'm not saying remove any perks from SwF but regulate their usage in a team to allow for more interesting strategies than everyone running DS and Unbreakable. The fact that doing this would eliminate this kind of perk + map abuse is a useful by-product that goes a long way in removing these useless time-wasting bully teams from the game.

Unless you somehow think they are healthly and fair part of the game? idk, I don't have a fix all for everything that will make everyone happy.

Well I've learned a lot today, maybe that I just don't want to use these forums. I had a funny feeling that posting here would be an extension of the huge flame war you that get in-game. Thanks guys.

I set up a ticket but expect no reply from Behaviour. Good luck to all of you.

I do agree in it's current state it's very OP (especially when in the survivors favour, which is almost always otherwise they would never equip the perk) but does it need to be deleted? No. It's needs a serious rework because I don't think the developers understood the ramifications of the perk when it was created and didn't have maps such as Midwich planned. It just sounded like a cool risk reward perk like No Mither (which could do with some changes too).

I honestly think the devs may have turned down it's chance of appearing as the few times I've had it recently, it does seem to always because of a map offering than just by random. Don't quote me on that though. I haven't seen the stats.

I also want to throw out the while the map design is questionable, I don't hate Midwich. Hell, aesthetically & atmospherically: it's a really good map and I have managed a couple of fun games on it but for each of those games, there's another match where the survivors abuse either glitches or poor design to try and take the game hostage & make me rage quit.

This OoO SwF thing just really just took the biscuit though. No hate, but just the tenacity and toxicity of those survivors to do something that was so blatantly unintentional and scummy and then scream at me in post game for not letting them "have fun" by forcing a rage quit out of me for free BP and some sick sense of power and satisfaction.

Just really sad to see.

Dude, are you trolling?

Not trying to be rude or anything but If you don't like stealthy killers that's not an issue with me (some random) or the game. I play pretty much all of the killers and no one (to my knowledge) has ever DCed because of the killer I'm playing. If you want to play survivor, learning to deal with stealth killers is just part of the game (Like learning to deal with every killer). Most can be countered by running spine chill or just swinging around your camera and being aware of your surroundings whenever you are open to stalk or ambush. I doesn't work all the time but once you know who the killer is you can be on high alert.

Stealth killers take a decent amount of knowledge to play effectively too. Wraith without the right addons has very low map pressure, Myers (while pretty well balanced) does have a very weak early game and personally I find Ghostface's power quite fiddly and the cooldown (by default) is crippling if you misuse his power.

Don't worry though, stick with it. Learn what you can and most killers, terror radius or not, can be out-played if know you how they operate.

Best of luck out there!

Um... they didn't really counter my build? in any way?

I was using a bunch of random level 3 passive perks (Hardly even a build because of how strong my addons were & I wanted to play fair) and infinite tier 3 because I was going to prestige Myers and wanted to use up addons & offerings. Could not care less if I won or lost the match, I just came for the BP.

I'm not some entitled player that thinks I deserve to 4K every match and will happily "lose" if I have some fun chases and get a decent amount of points. Hell, if they were fun to play against I would have given them props & reps regardless of the outcome of the match. If they were fair to me, I would always give last survivor the hatch. Infinite tier 3 is powerful but I'm not going to play super toxic because of that power.

These people on the other hand, running OoO in a 3 player SwF, would happily play super toxic because of their powerful perk.

I sacrificed 3 out of 4 survivors (the hatch spawn was completely up to luck because they refused to even touch a generator)

As you can see these people expected an escape out of this stupid strategy because they bought offerings and items. They got barely any points and I still managed to black pip despite their best attempts to starve me of actual gameplay. If you think these survivors "stopped" my build, then you are severely misinformed.

I'm not going to read the scoreboard to you. I'm sure you are capable enough to do it yourself. I'm sorry but the stats don't lie.

I'm not here to "whine like a baby". I'm here to have a proper conversation about how and why this map combined with these kind of players using this one perk is an issue for the game.
