Why is suicide on hook still in the game?

To be fair plenty of games have leaver penalties if you leave your team high and dry mid match - usually the equivalent of this game's DC timer. Nothing is forcing you to perform during the game either but having the guy let go when I ran across the entire map to unhook him in phase 2 when the killer is chasing the other guy is basically a kick in the face that the devs refuse to put in this game.

I wouldn't mind if the entire hook stage became a skill check every X number of seconds - so if you REALLY wanted to suicide you could fail even single skill check but there is still a minimum amount of time you would be on the hook - not 9 seconds then instantly let go in phase 2.

‘cause hook escape attempts are a thing, and probably always will be.

Unless they remove the penalty for escape attempts all together and only give the 3 attempts, the survivor still moves into the struggle phase... even the cages currently have that feature. Should that struggle mechanic or penalty be removed, survivors would jus be on the hook for 2min until unhooked or no rescue at which point they progress into the sacrifice animation.

If they feel so upset for whatever reasons and can’t “hook terminate” and then are rescued, they’ll probs jus stand there collecting crows, at which point you’ll get at most 2 hooks on them.

They’d probably DC before going through all that.

Not going to way in on either side of the whole argument, but I will say that MANY games, especially those that feature online vs-coop, give far more strict penalties for leaving games early. Granted these are more competitive games like MOBAs and whatnot, but the point is yes, in games where you have teammates that rely on you, you are forced to play, or you suffer a consequence.

I guess I don't understand why you would bring up the question then. You know then when a cause is lost or it is just hell to continue slugging away. Sometimes it is better to cut losses and jump back into another game that might have a chance at some actual fun, Not like this game is an esport.

Because you have the 4% chance of escaping while in the hook.

If you fail, you get punished.

There's the "suicide on hook" mechanic because there's the "escape on hook" mechanic.

I get ur frustration, but i still don't see any point to spam and break ma A button if ma team mates are playin so selfish not even attemptin to come for me, it would be different on ma swfs because ik then they would at least attempt to come and get me (I wouldn't let them on insidious bubba, i would hang and struggle in swfs) Not all of us hook suicide in a selfish way, it's as i said ma team mates are not comin, they would rather sit on a gen not botherin thier arse even if the killer isn't face campin, i have kindred on, and they still sit and do a gen close to me then piss off to the next one. I will not reward selfish players by strugglin so everythin can get done so they can escape, not in a solo game anyway.

1. They're to busy urbanin round the map hidin

2. Self carin on sloppy butcher at the other side of the map

3. Sittin on a gen not givin a ######### a team mate is hooked

4. Hidin in lockers

Please don't get me wrong as i have been in games I've went on ahead to rescue people off the hook, and they'll see I'm comin yet will try and 4%, and when i get there they don't struggle, this is what i mean we're not all selfish in our hook suicide, some have very good reasons, and others are just.. idk... twats, i actually meant to put this part in ma last message, but didn't want to give u an autobiography 😐

I get frustrated too when ppl can clearly see i'm comin to rescue them and they're just like ah ######### it sorta thing.. we get punished for points, and the help to try and escape, it's equally as frustratin for team mates as well as killers, both sides are punished... it's not fair in both sides for no reason really hook suicide.. I've already explained ma reasons, but i haven't needed to hook suicide in a year anyway

Well, you see Timmy, sometimes people get very sad...

Lol no matter what you do, if they gave some kind of penalty for suicide on hook, the people would purposely get caught just to leave match, there really isnt any way around it, there will always be a way to play around leaving.

This sums up my experience usually. Watching my whole team go down within seconds to iri hatchets is cause for alarm. Id rather just lose the pip and jump into my next game. Its gonna happen so why wait. Get it over with.

I personally as a survivor hate it more than anything when a teammate suicides off hook but I understand.. I do it when I'm pissed, or I've had to endure a bullcrap connection. The only times I ever suicide on hook is as someone put it earlier from the devs. When hope is lost. Iri hatchets, suicide. Crap connection, suicide. Teammates without thumbs going down left and right? Suicide. What's the point of waiting for the inevitable? Go down get hooked and get out.

My paragraph makes it sound like it happens often but in reality its usually only once in a while. Sometimes things are just ######### and you need to bounce.

Then you did what you could. Even if people are dumb, you have to at least try to lead them in the right direction, rather than just whine about their failures.
