It's the aim of the game...
Can anyone tell me why killer mains complain about survivors doing gens and hiding?
I just had a solo surv game 2 of us escaped and 2 died on hook the end of game chat the killer put
ez gen rushing and hiding all game = trash ez
doing gens is the only objective of survivors i don't get what you want? survivor to do one gen and then wait five mins to start the next one and in my opinion you can only gen rush as a SWF as you can all communicate on what gens you are on and what to do as solo you have no clue what gens people are on.
What makes it even better is them complaining of survivors hiding, if we can hide we will its not the aim to get hit or hooked ( plus this game there was chases, including with me not our fault if you cant keep up sometimes)
I just don't get why some killers complain about people doing gens especially when its all solo survivors. IT IS THE AIM OF THE GAME !

As a Survivor, you're not allowed to camp, tunnel, or play certain killers.
As a Killer, you're not allowed to hide, use structures, pallets, windows, or do gens.
Welcome to DbD.

You know... Somehow that still makes sense.

The same reason people complain about tunneling.
It's just not fun. A killer that goes against a team of immersed people (that are good at being immersed) just doesn't get to play the game. They get to play the "walking around looking for people" simulator, with little minigames of chases before going back to walking around. As for the complaining about the survivors doing gens, that's always happened and will always happen. It's just whining.
Just like people who get camped and tunneled get to play the "Sit on a hook for two minutes" simulator. After maybe playing DbD for a few minutes.
Both are strategies and help the person in winning the game. Both are incredibly unfun.

Gens are not the only objective. You need altruism and chase points too.
Game is more fun with variety imo. I am never satisfied when killer didn't hooked anyone or just got a few hooks. Boring games.

That seems like the problem was the fact that everyone was stealthing around, which is actually kind of completely ridiculous on DbD. Honestly, it's not unlike getting tunneled. Not saying you were doing anything wrong, but pointing out that that killer had a miserable experience and was taking it out in chat.

The same way survivor mains can complain when killers kill them. My only objective is to kill as a killer but when I do it very efficiently I get told that I'm the scum of the earth.

But there was chases and enough, it was a small map and it was spirit, if i can get out of a chase and hide especially injured i will.
I dont want to extend my chase with them any longer then it needs to be.

Were there? If the killer was mad enough to complain about stealth, and you went out of your way to justify stealth, then it seems like maybe there weren't a lot of chases to be had.
1 -
The fact that they managed to get 2 kills with 3 hooks with both suggest there was enough chases.
There are just some salty people that complain about anything in the game.
They also stayed pretty closed to whoever was hooked so there definitely a chase plus us 2 that escaped got hooked at least once aswell.

Well it does get to the point where its three prove thyselfs, a toolbox build and gens before friends
I had three of these lobbies in five killer games today, only two of those matches were the same SWF. The other than was all randoms. I kid you not toolbox build and the three prove thyselfs and all.
Now I'm not complaining but I kid you not 4 gens were done in three minutes, and as Wraith that's hard asf to cope with.

Someone's having a bad day if you can't find people with Spirit. I respect good hiding abilities from Srv....but damn...
Maybe dude (killer) needs to slow down a bit, have a coke and a smile, and stop zipping all over like the spirit usually does lol.

Sounds like a solid game.

When I play killer, I don't care if I don't get a single kill, as long as I played and scored well, esp against a good swf. When I play survivor, I don't care if I don't escape, as long as I played and scored well, esp as a solo. Too many killers try to get a 4k asap, resulting in a boring, low-scoring game for everyone, and too many survivors try to slam 5 gens and peace out asap, resulting in a boring, low-scoring game for everyone. That there are so many players who are rabid about playing either role exclusively and who are blindly passionate about demonizing the opposing role is the biggest, voluntary absurdity of dbd and is the result of players, not game issues, not updates, not perks, nothing else. This game could be used as a diagnostic tool for personality disorders, the way a large portion of people play and behave in it. Don't pay attention to the sour grapes of the perpetual whiners on either side. They are the unfortunately present Karens and Kens of dbd, and they are inescapable in every facet of life.

Generally complaints about gen rushing as killer come from when the killer is at fault and didn't apply enough pressure. Sometimes this is the map/ games fault but usually the killer can do something to get survivors off gens. It can be pretty frustrating to lose all your gens without even seeing someone so when I play survivor I make a point to have a balance of hiding and starting chases.

This is the argument within DBD when some want the game to be more hide and seek and have killer more of a power role.
When they then meet a group of players who are stealthy and immersed they complain its not fun. The blendette comments have always been a prime example.
The fun in DBD for the most part is in the chase and it's why stealth isn't rewarded as much as putting yourself in harms way. The devs do want interaction between the players but it's not something they force as they want the players to play how they wish too.
So there is nothing wrong with a stealthy playstyle as just like camping it is part of the game, play how you wish and don't dwell on these type of comments.

Ngl I've seen that before playing solo and see 3 gens pop almost instantly. I automatically start running looking for the killer to make sure they're not being abused or anything and they get a hook and alway, always I either get unhooked in front of the killer (not a camping one, one that has left and chased another surv) or die on that first hook.
Not complaining, just an observation on a "tactic" I've seen a lot.

Doesn’t matter how you play on either side. If your opponents didn’t like you they’ll complain about literally anything.
1 -
The same killers who complain about this, are the same killers that camp and tunnel 2 survivors the entire game

The fact you took the time to make this post means he got to you. Just ignore it. The important thing is having fun. They are just trying to bring you down beings they didn't get a 4k game.
