Gave Up After Gen Rush

Sometimes there are so many things against you it's just impossible to turn the tide. I had a match on ormond as pig yesterday where I spawned across the map and I knew everyone probably spawned at the shack. I went straight to shack and they almost finished 2 gens before I got over there.

Downed someone quite quickly which cost me the 2 gens since they were nearly finished anyway. I think I got three or four hooks before they did all gens and it turned out to be 2 prove thyselfs with spicy toolboxes. They also got rid of my RBT at first or second try. I didn't bother chasing after that and went to break all the walls instead; hope they enjoyed the m1 simulator they invested a load of bloodpoints in given the expensive items they brought. Noone got over 15k bp btw (instead of me thx bbq). I only had brown add ons and a mediocre build since I have almost nothing on pig right now; I was outperked and they invested more bp. A bummer but nothing I can do; I move on to the next match.

I've been playing a lot of killers that are known to be mid tier and I kid you not by the time I get to one side of the map 2 gens are already done.

Get into a 20 second chase and another gen gets popped. Finds another survivor and another gen gets popped.

This is why I kinda miss old ruin, yes it had to go and I do agree with that statement but at least it gave killers who don't have much map pressure a chance to get things done. I shouldn't have to play Billy or nurse 24/7 just so I don't get stomped on

A combination of it would be perfect for lower rank SWF. That struggle with 3 gens.

But what really blows my mind is, that the devs see the current gen speed and think, that we need something when the killer plays better than the survivors.

This is why I always take at least one early game perk on my killers. Corrupt, Whispers, or Discordance are all fantastic. Otherwise if you pick the wrong places to check first you will lose many gens and very quickly.

Id advocate whispers or discordance on ghostface either way since it will let you know when to be sneaky instead of walking into the survivors and having to M1 instead of stalk.

I think sanctum of wrath is one of the worst map for killers. I don't know the stats but I can not remember the last time I won on this map, feels like I lose the vast majority of games when this comes up. It doesn't help how you need to camp one side and if you lose 1 gen on that side you're basically screwed.

I would use discordance then. Whispers requires a fair amount of map knowledge to triangulate positions.

Well there is a reason corrupt intervention is meta on all low mobility killers. It only got pushed to the side for ruin undying. But that’s gone now.

It’s still very relevant. 2 minutes to down your first survivor and begin the snowball. I have played as a rank 1 killer for years and consider getting my first hook for corrupt a fair trade. If I get it sooner great, maybe I can switch target a little bit.

It’s impossible to 12 hook on the majority of killers. Don’t even try it unless the survivors are completely potato.

If the group looks competent, tunnel someone out immediately. Eat the DS unless you are pyramid head. Stealth killers can assassinate someone coming off the hook without/who have already used DS the second they come off, ignoring BT.

Then you can snowball in the 3v1 or use pop to halt the game. Pop does almost nothing in a 4v1, but is amazing in a 3v1.

It’s not glorious, but it’s the best way to win. Especially against SWF

It's kind of the current situation.

Second chance perks + Slam gens above all else + Mediocre looping / Instra drop pallets + Shift W on massive maps

All of it amounts to bad survivor being capable of escaping a good killer, and if you think that it's bad now you can imagine what MMR will be like. It seems like the community is just as ignorant as the developers on the topic, though, and we pretend that it's fine because we so often run into such garbage survivors that shouldn't be at the rank they are at, that they skew statistics.

There's a lot of minor things we often overlook as well, like several nerfs to slugging make it really hard to do it for pressure like was possible. It's understandable since it isn't fun, but it took away a chunk of a killers power when they're losing, which in turn creates opposing pressure to tunnel/camp, which is also incredibly difficult because of second chance perks. We can take that a step further and say that it's a bit silly a perk like Unbreakable, when used, still gives you the benefit of faster recovery. That's just one perk but the point is there are a lot of little things in this game that make the big picture worse.

It's still possible to have a chase and not even have more than one pop though-- I pack oppression and pop and sometimes if a chase takes too long or I see they are getting too much distance I go and look for gens being repaired so I can at least give them a skillcheck or regress their work! Have faith in yourself and understand that this game is a learning process :)! I suck at looping yet have made it to rank 3 I think two times now? And it's because I have adapted my own play style as a survivor and noticed common tactics and strategies in killers. I hope you find your 'flavor' of play style-- Mine is probably mint chocolate chip because a lot of people doubt its deliciousness until they try it lol <3! Good luck in your next matches and I hope you have fun! Treat it like a big ol ice cream store!!!

It stacks. If you save your great skill checks, then you get a 19% bonus for one great skill check. Now add that 3 or 4 survivors take this and you have a counter to 3 gens.

Don't know how many times I have lost 2 to 3 gens on 1st chase then came back to at least a 3K . Never give up , get the BP that you can and move on to the next match .

To repeat what others have said, don't give up. Even when it looks hopeless, you CAN make a comeback, if you play well enough, if you catch a lucky break, or if the survivors make a mistake.

I just reached Rank 1 for the first time, and I still have a lot to improve at and get better with. I play mostly Piggie, with occasional lower-tier killers (Wraith, Trapper) mixed in with mid-tier killers (GF, Doctor) and occasional top-end ones (Freddy, Spirit). When I play Pig, I have a LOT of matches that I start very slowly, and seeing multiple gens pop early happens more than I like it to.

Some of those matches, I'm a victim of map, or a well-coordinated team, or terrible play on my part (or sometimes, all of the above). Some of those matches I get completely wrecked, and I'm lucky to get my four stacks of BBQ. But many others I'm able to pull out a 3K or 4K because, as cliched as it sounds, it's never over until it's over.

A lot of people have given you good advice as to how to improve your overall strategy or gameplay or builds, and there's a lot of sound words in here. All I can add is that is does eventually get better the more hours you put into it. Every loss can be an opportunity to improve on something that helps you to make the next match a win. But remember to try and enjoy yourself first and foremost and remember that it's just a game -- focus on what you are doing well and try to stay positive (as hard as it probably feels to do, I know).

Never ever just camp 3 gens from the start, even as low mobility or trap based killer. It doesn't work like that.

Make yourself an overview over the map at the start. Try to figure out which gens are worthy to protect and which not. If there are some outliers at the edge or in pockets, you can ignore them as low mobility killer. Try to protect the middle gens (they're usually part of a good 3 gen at the end) and, if you're on a map like Azarovs, Suffocation Pit or Sanctum, try to protect one side of the map (on those maps, gens are usually split up like 3 and 4 on each side or 3-1-3 with one in the middle that you should also protect).

If you just camp 3 gens from the start you will have 4 healthy, non-hooked survivors that come to you at the end and just rush that one gen left while you chase a survivor. It's unlikely to win this, except they really ######### up. You need to pressure them early on, that doesn't mean you should give up patroulling important gens or chase mindlessly and waste time at strong loops. It's kinda hard to explain because there is no save rule for how to play this. You need to decide things on the fly in dbd as killer and this is only possible with experience.

Try to lure them to your side or chase them into your side, try to injure them or get a pallet out of the way and then leave if you think they work on a gen on "your" side. Which perks do you play? Because your perks play also an important part.

Losing 3 gens without even chasing someone is nearly impossible if you go from gen to gen. That doesn't mean it's impossible to lose 3 gens without hooking someone. Been there, done that. It happens against good teams who split up, or if you chase for too long at the start. Sometimes it's also just some good toolboxes or Prove thyself. If they did those 3 gens on one side or like next to each other, that can be actually good for you. Never give up, i won games where i was completely sure i already lost. And as others already said, try not to focus on how many survivors you killed at the end. Dbd is a very random game with a lot of different "random" factors leading to the outcome of a match.

The gen rush/generator progression speed I find as well has ruined the game for me. One of many things actually.

Playing matches where the generators power on so quickly, with barely enough time to catch anyone.

It’s gotten to the point where I’d rather just disconnect from a match and take the ban rather than try to compete in matches that are a lost cause.

It’s plagues
