whats with how scores are calculated?
Idk if its different on mobile, and im assuming most of ya'll are console. But I just presiteged my clown so I'm lvl1, and I got thrown into a game with a bunch of high powered survivors, just itchin to make a total ######### outta me. DS, flashlights, taunting me with teabaging/pallets/crappy super tight circles/stupid burst of speed perks that activate just as you slash. They got the first 3 generators so quickly, then there was a huge gap of time between 3 and 4 it felt like a further taunt. "Heuheuheu u suck so bad we don't even we don't even gotta rush outta hur durdurdur. Im A sUrViVoR aNd I jUsT DrAnK a HuGe GlAsS oF ######### JuiCe" kinda stuff. Anywhozil time goes by, I've been hooking them here and there, but only getting one at a time cause they're practically taking turns. And I've got none of them by the time they get the final generator done and they're f*ckin round for yucks when I hook one of them and they don't struggle the whole time for one reason for another and they get entity-ed off. Very shortly before that one gave up they got the exit opening, getting timer rolling. The 3 remaing are still messing round, but they keep but I'm keeping them injured/downed and these guys totally have a "Nobody left behind" sorta mentality. I get one on the hook toward the end of the timer. And they gotta bookit or otherwise they die.
So my point is, I'm 2 for 4 but my score is just short of 31k. Furthermore their scores don't suck, but aren't close to mine. im just sorta lost. I feel like I didn't do all that great only getting 2 and all, and they certainly commanded #########. Whats is this? Was i actually good? Or is this merely a product of them dragging out the game?

Noted. This is a rated M game, but if you post the word "shizz" in the forums you get [BAD WORD] filter instead of being treated like adults who say "shizz" 25 times a day.
Edit: a unneeded word

In short, yes, this is a product of the game dragging on for a long time.
For the long answer, the reason why you got so many points is because of Late Game Actions. Hooks that occur after the Exit Gates are opened are worth MUCH more than hooks before the gates were opened. Additionally, due to the Survivors sort of meme'ing around, you liekly got a lot of hits, which probably maxed out your score in the Brutality category.
You also probably threw a lot of bottles, since you were Clown, and that probably maxed out your Deviousness category.
Hunting category is pretty easy to max out, so I'm sure you got that too.
The only category you didn't get as many points as you could've was in Sacrifice, because obviously, you didn't sacrifice everyone.
Also, a 2K Average (or something close to it) is what the Devs consider to be the ideal game, and therefore, what they attempt to keep in mind while balancing.

Dang. Thats what It felt like. Living survivors made me sad. But even 2 kills I got were undeniably bittersweet. When the survivors are this this good and, this coordinated its no contest. It felt like they orchestrated it. They find out what you are, immediately understand your limitations, and f**k all after that. You're a toy now. Its thier game and you're only chance at a real kill is stick close to a hooked vic and feel campy. and by God I tried, but I always walked away a little to far trying to lure out the rescue squad, because too far away was the only way to shake em the hell out.

I understand. If I may, I would like to offer some advice.
I've been playing for two years now. On almost every Killer, top tier Survivors WILL toy with you. Eventually, they get to be good enough at the game that they don't really feel any sort of apprehension around the Killer, which allows them to make extremely risky, but ultimately excellent plays.
The absolute best thing you can do in that sort of situation is to keep a clear head. Look at it as a learning experience, as hard as that may be. Watch what they do, how they move. Next time, they may find you are better prepared than they anticipated.
Personally, I main Legion. Legion is NOT a strong Killer, especially in the top tiers of play. I am pretty used to that sort of play at this point, and to be clear, there isn't anything wrong with it. I have found that while they may not be apprehensive of Legion, they will absolutely be apprehensive of an unpredictable player. So, I try to surprise them. I make my pathing weird, I slug for two downs, then when they think I'll keep slugging, I go back to hooking immediately and catch them off guard. Sometimes, you gotta get in their heads.
If you'd like anymore tips, I can try to give some pointers on my stream tomorrow, if you'd like.

Thatd be great! What stream platform and when?

That's just cause your points come from practically all interactions with the Survivors.
You see them (Chaser category), you hit them (Brutality category), you hook them (Sacrifice category), and maybe you use your Killer Power. (Deviousness category)
Survivors are only getting Boldness points from interacting with you, no Survival or Objective points, and they may get some from healing and unhooking. (Altruism category)
Their scores aren't that surprising to me, especially with how the Survival category works. (You either escape for 5k, or you get nothing)
