Survivors who use self care are useless
Sorry had to be said

You saw the Nancy didn't you?

Couldn't agree more. It's my favorite when all three of my red rank teammates are self caring against a Legion every time they're hit.

But how else am I suppose to farm survival points?
Sarcasm over, only way I know of getting survival points is escaping and self care. There any other ways?

It depends. If you get hit constantly , run to the corner of the map, and heal every time, you are useless and should be in jail.
But it’s a perk that gives you so much freedom and independence in many situations. Example: having to save someone and everybody else is dead or out of reach. Self care can save you both here.
it depends. Used right is still a good perk.

How so?

We'll take you seriously when you give a coherent argument instead of being a salt wizard.

Not really. Self care has helped me more often than it's hurt me, but I'm also not a person who sits in a corner self-caring and it's usually a last resort.

Yum, sloppy butcher into self-carers.

It's a double edged sword. I play Solo pretty much exclusively, and I have no idea how many times I've ran to a teammate to heal me and they just won't, no matter what you do.
If it's used by people in the corner of the map, who brute force their way through Sloppy then yes, I agree.
But it's also a great way to be independent because let's face it - half the time in Solo, your teammates are incompetent, if it's a last ditch effort kind of thing.

...unless they’re like me and run Botany Knowledge, Desperate Measures, Self Care, and WGLF (with a med kit)
- always heal myself fast.
- Always heal injured teammates fast
- always unhook fast
- always revive slugs fast

Killers love players with Self care. Keep Self care

you forgot the if they use it incorrectly part

Meh... While it is slower to heal with than finding another survivor to help or using a medkit, Those aren't always available. While I agree that I have also been infuriated by survivors Self Caring next to a gen I'm working on, or preferring it to getting healed by me, I can't deny that self care has allowed me to rescue teammates or pull off things that would've otherwise been impossible without it. To me its one of those Niche perks that, when used correctly, can mean the difference between winning and losing, but when used incorrectly, is just stupid. I don't begrudge people for bringing it in or using it, but for the love of... if someone is near you and can heal you quicker or if you have an un-depleted medkit, ######### ing use it/them for crying out loud.

Sometimes it's better though. I'd rather they use it and manage to shake the Killer or supply a decent chase. Injured Survivors don't stealth well and only take one mess up/out play to go down.
I do really hate those players who run from others to go self care. Had 2 Nancys flee to opposite bushes to both self care earlier. Like why?

Self care is all about how you use it.
By yourself it takes 32 seconds with self care, with a team mate it takes half the time of only 16 seconds but theres 2 of you so thats one less person on gens.
So if the killer is chasing someone and your self caring it up while your other 2 team mates are doing gens no harm done right? Right.
Problem is thats not how most people use it
Times to not use self care
* Team mates struggling on hook
* Multiple team mates slugged
* Against a legion
* Against sloppy butcher
Just a few reasons. I never run self care just as a disclaimer lol imo its a trash perk that should be removed. Iron will > self care
Just run iron will and rush gens then heal when you run into another survivor or if your on death hook.

Self Care is definitely not a bad perk. There are however times you absolutely not be using it and people do anyway. That said, if your whole squad has it and you're against a Legion... you have gotten unlucky.

We talking about Otz's pathetic teammates? God, that was so infuriating lmao
0 -
Agreed, but it's also sad that Iron Will is just better than Self-Care in a similar area despite them doing completely different things, one helping you to stay injured and slam gens, the other allowing for more survivability without using resources as well as being independent at the cost of time. It's actually kind of annoying that Self-Care isn't a viable perk in 99% of situations. I honestly think they should buff the self-heal speed to 60% and maybe buff the self-heal item efficiency to 100%.

no useless waste time looking someone all map for heal? how about you team mate are down, other 2 rats escape how you will help him without med? or you prefer let him die and escape like rat

Your perspective is skewed my friend. Is Self-Care a wise option for healing? Nope, not to me...ever.
But it’s not totally useless as far as fun gameplay goes. There’s 2 sides of the game. A killer will have a much more enjoyable time VS survivors that keep self caring against their Sloppy Butcher than they would VS a team that stayed injured all game and pushed gens.
Don’t make the mistake of believing that every player holding one button on a generator is “fun” for all people playing survivor. While necessary, yes, boring as hell IMO.

Enough with the selfcare is garbage posts. It is almost as annoying as the NOED is OP posts.
It's a good perk when used at the right time. Just like many other perks. Bad survivors make bad plays all the time, not just with selfcare.

Oh, did you mean this Nancy, by chance
...solo queue, Rank 13, 360° Nancy
smh

head on, ds

I'd rather have 3 survivors on my team with self care than 0 survivors on my team. No, they're not useless. They're less useful.

Looking my teammates from the hook selfcaring against sloppy butcher legion.
Okay, bye.

Paired with Botany Knowledge its decent. I bring a medkit for faster heals on myself and still get faster heals on teammates. And a yellow medkit heals at 133% and lasts forever with the efficiancy boost from both perks.
The only time I don't self care with these two is if Sloppy Butcher is in effect as it just takes too long, but the medkit counteracts that.
