Is it forbidden to Leave teammates?

If you mean to escape the game, no it's not. There is really not any situation in which leaving your teammates back is forbidden.

Nothing is forbidden except like sandbagging in all its different variations. But why would you deny yourself end game rescuing? it happens to be one of the best parts of the whole game.

If you don't come back and save me it's a one-way ticket to visit the man downstairs so sayeth the holy gospel

It is not forbidden, but saving them or not depends on the situation. For example, gates are open, the survivor is hooked on the other side of the map, the killer is camping and they have NOED. I leave, because I know if I try to go for the save, instead of one kill, the killer will get two. Now, for example, the killer hooks someone near an open gate and doesn't even have NOED, I usually go for the save.

its, generally speaking, allowed.

however, if you're not doing it for a valid reason, it can easily lead to criticism from your teammates.

for example, if the killer is chasing someone else while the others 99%ed the gates in order to be able to help their teammate should they go down / bodyblock should he make it to the gate, you opening the gate and leaving asap is not going to be appreciated.

then on the other hand, if you're injured without a way of healing yourself and the killer hooks your teammate on the other side of the map, no one can realistically ask you to turn back and rescue them. that would just be you walking into your own death.

so generally speaking, try to keep the doors shut for as long as you can, just to make sure you buy your team some more time before EGC starts.

there is no problem with being pushed out by the killer, there is no problem with leaving when you know you dont have a chance.

but dont just rip the door open, start the global death timer for everyone and run out immediately. that'll kill the guy in a chase 95% of the time and has a very good chance of getting at least one more of your teammates killed while attempting to rescue said person, which they wont be too happy about.

as for hatch, its a little different. you can use the key whenever you want, but it would be highly appreciated by your team if you'd not do it right in the killers face, as otherwise you're starting the global death timer again. also, try being productive while looking for hatch and try to take some of your mates with you.

i just had a game with a meg who had a key and literally refused to touch any gens, as she was just roaming the map searching for the hatch - even though everyone was still alive and we were on 3 gens... we got the gens done in the end, but that meg made it significantly harder for us to do so.

It is not against the rules. A lot of times I will try going for a save, but if it could end with killer getting even more kills... I don't.

I remember your "harem" thread btw. Don't take salty messages seriously and play how you want.

I almost always leave. lmao
