Anyone else about to deliberately De-pipping and how do you feel about ppl doing it?
Okay I am about to suicide on every hook for the next 20 games. I'm about an inch close.
One more insanely out matched game and that's what I am considering.
On one hand I feel bad for my team to do that but on the other -I'm not exactly much use to them if I'm playing at the wrong level for me anyway. so....
Thoughts?
And don't say get good or I might smack you because you can't get good if you die fast and aren't getting to do much of anything anyway.

No, I’m too competitive for this. I want to stay at the top and feel I am beating the top players. If I am in a sour enough mood I do something else.

Honestly I don't blame you. I came back to DbD after a couple days break and the first matches I get were Freddy's each running a mega-slowdown build that ended with 3 DC's and me dead on hook within the first minute of the match. I would honestly rather de-pip back to yellow than go against killers who sweat so hard. I just want a game that's enjoyable, not constant sweatfests 24/7 that just ruin the experience for me.

I'm not that competitive - I just like to play.
I'm honestly not in a bad mood about it. Frustrated as I'm useless to my team and dead fast anyway. So it's like should I just de-pip to get to a level I should be at? and I'm I a bad teammate for doing it? or..
Exactly enjoyable... and technically my teammates loss a teammate anyway. Just a minutes sooner really lol
It feels wrong to do that though. So I'm humming about it and I wondered if others felt the same atm.
It's always nice to know you aren't alone in your thoughts :-)

I mean, on the one hand it does screw over the remaining teammates, but on the other hand, I really don't want to stay in a match where I'm just not enjoying myself. I play games for fun, and if it's not fun, I won't force myself to stay in it for anyone else.

Are we though - screwing over teamamtes - really - we're dead anyway - just slightly sooner than we would be anyway?
There's where I'm going back and forth.
And the next shocker - teammates running killers right to you on purpose, who knew exactly who the killer was before the game started (said it in chat) and a 4% Kobe that works when you are trying to suicide LMFAO
There's a freaking shocker lol
I think de-pipping time so I'm with my own people. :-) I like my people. I miss my people.
Gotta love this game. --thud--
BTW I am actually laughing my head off over it.

Same here. I've been playing for 13 hours straight and I've only escaped once and even that was because Freddy showed mercy when I was the last one alive.
For some awful reason I'm red ranked although I don't think it matches my skill at all. Aside from the mercy game every game I've played has been a 4k for the killer. It's getting old really fast. At least with MMR I had a chance.
The only thing keeping me from hook suicides is the negative effect it would have on the game for others.
Did I mention that every other game is a mori game? Fun fun.

Glad tomorrow is 13th, rank reset.

I'm not competitive at all anymore. I went that route in Overwatch during its first two years with ranked mode. And it made me such a toxic gamer before all was said and done, that I said to hell with that. I've been gaming since I was a kid in the 80s (I'm 47) and I never got competitive like that in game before Overwatch.
I just played DbD for fun and bloodpoints, just for the Slasher fantasy. Survivors escape? Whatever. They do in movies, too. But if I am survivor, which is always SoloQ, and I have teammates not doing gens and not even coming to unhook me, it's a suicide on first hook. As I said, I play to have fun. And that kind of team ain't fun.
As for rank, I'll never hit any high ranks because I do not even remotely try to.

I'm a rank 1 killer who refused to play during this whole MMR mess and maaan... There are SO many boosted survivors in red ranks now lmao. I've only seen a few people who were obviously trying to depip. It can be annoying, but I don't really blame them; they got ######### over majorly by the MMR (or they got used to ez wins).
It shall be my darkly divine duty to depip all of these misplaced survivors lol.

Takes too much time. Rank reset hits every 13th. Just take a break for a bit and you'll drop down. Of course I always shoot back up to low red/high purple no matter how much of a break I take so I stopped trying for those EZ games.

I'm 41, and I sympathize with you more than you know. I'm at the age where when I get home from work and finish putting my kid to bed, I just want to load up a game to relax and have fun. Competitive games have a way of turning you into a toxic player, so I try to actively avoid that, but DBD is a special case in that there's no other game like it. I have fun playing it, but sadly it's one of the most toxic games out there, and getting steamrolled over and over again by people far more experienced than myself doesn't exactly make for an entertaining few hours.
As easy as it is to say that I could care less about not ranking up or getting few blood points, the truth is I'd be lying. I do want to succeed and I do want to be able to hold my own, but the original MMR ensured that that was never going to happen. I'd love nothing more than to load up a match of DBD and not care about the outcome, but when that outcome is so heavily predictable, the game loses all it's luster.
Hopefully the devs can fix the shortcomings of the new MMR.

I guess for me, even though I haven't touched Competitive Mode in two years, I still get my "competitive" fix with the Friends & Family team in Overwatch. Even though we usually just play Mystery Heroes or Quick Play Classic (neither of which uses an MMR since it is in the "Arcade" section), we will still "play to win" with the heroes we picked, or were given in the case of Mystery Heroes.
Now don't get me wrong. Naturally I want to escape as a survivor or kill 'em all as a killer, but the entire asymmetrical nature of DbD just doesn't have me taking it even a little seriously like I would an even-team match-up of 6v6 in Overwatch. By the same token, I walked out due to the new MMR. Going against extremely new players, or people with thousands of hours more than me, wasn't fun no matter how you cut it. Then getting hit with multiple Error 111's on top of too-long killer queues sealed the deal.
I'm waiting until Error 111 (and its sibling, 112) are fixed. Plus, I might check out cross-play to see how the killer queues are. I know console survivors tend to wait long for matches over there, so maybe the abundance of console survivors will alleviate some of the PC killer queues.
But I bought DbD back in 2018 to play as my favorite killers. The icons of Myers, Leatherface, and Freddy, with a little mix of Amanda and (as of last year) Ghostface. If cross-play doesn't alleviate the killer queues for me, I'm very likely done because that is the last Hail Mary for queues. I just don't enjoy survivor as much as Killer in DbD (whereas over in F13, I enjoyed counselor more than Jason).

During the MMR, I was lucky enough to be getting paired with like skilled players on my main killers, and noobs on killers I never play. I felt like the game was finally keeping me where I'm comfortable which rank wise is around the purple ranks, but now that MMR has been turned off it's been nothing but frustrating games against high skill red rankers since I'm at rank 1. Because of this, I'm de-ranking on purpose, but not in any pathetic way like DC'ing, or going AFK, Instead I'm breaking out my Ebony Mori's and insta down perks, add-on's and killers, and just killing everyone after their first hook. Doing this earns me decent BP, but devastates my Emblem scoring which gets me "Entity Displeased" pretty much every match. The furthest back in Rank I can go is about rank 7-8ish doing this, but that's where I'm most comfortable anyways.
Sure it's mean to the survivors, but at least I won't be matching up with them again for very long, and it gets me what i want. I was actually worried about the MMR system, thinking it was going to be matching me up with High skilled players constantly, and I wouldn't be able to just de-rank out of it like I can now, but honestly, it was doing right by me and I'm missing it already.

You underestimate the value of times on hook. Killer got to catch you at least 3 times before you die and it gives your teammates a lot of tme they need. Plus times of your teammates on hooks and you will see that hook stages is not only your but whole team's valuable resourse. If you would keep playing and not dying on first hook you actually may escape and have fun.
If you have fun only playing against weaker opponents it is something wrong there. You not gonna have fun most of the games because you are not trying to get to the level when you don't care about how strong the killer is, because you refuse to learn. Also you not gonna have fun because you feel bad for screwing up your teammates constantly. In that case if you not have fun in dbd you would quit playing it because you not enjoing it much.

For me as survivor I actually mostly enjoying to save teammates. Especially when it is end game and someone got hooked. It is realy satisfying to unhook someone and guard his way to exit gates. I even enjoy to sacrifice myself if it helps someone to escape. Game is not over when you got downed. Hook stages is your consumable resourse. If you wasn't hooked and you see Killer tunneling dead on hook person you may bodyblock killer's way to save your teammate because it will give your team more time they need.

As Killer I have seen survivors who was downed first extremely fast. So I consider them as weak opponents. But after first hook they may show me such a high looping skills so I realise I underestimate them earlier. If Killer easily downed you first it is not nessessary because he stronger than you. There is no reason to give up this early.
