Why does no one do generators anymore

It feels like every single game these days teammates in solo queue dont even look at gens

    It's because you don't get a lot of points for gens. You get points for engagement with the killer & hook rescues.

    That would make sense if the teammates were even doing either of those things but I just had a game where I was getting chased by the killer in her corrupt intervention generators and the other 3 were doing totems, chests and hiding in lockers when I went down

    Not doing gens means the average kill rate goes up. This makes the Devs think killer is over powered. Devs nerf killers.

    Tome challenges and it's more efficient to throw the game to do challenges than actually playing the game.

    Because if we do gens, the killers will face camp us for being "toxic genrushers".

    We have to "adapt" as they like to say and find other ways to get points despite not being allowed to do our objectives or survive.

    Because they’re bad. so so so bad. they think hiding all game gives them a better chance to escape, meanwhile theyre just giving the killer an easy win. honestly the worst teammates to have. how hard is it to sit on a gen while someone else is being chased? it’s one button??? I do probably 4 gens a game now, from start to finish, while also being chased all game. Solo q isn’t always terrible but lately survivors have been high rank with a very low skill level.

    Meanwhile I'm that one solo queuer who does 3 gens alone and still dies.

    And don't forget, it's rank reset today. Expect a lot of potatoes.

    Maybe they're farming keys from the chests and trying to get a hatch escape?

    Where can I get matched with teams like that? I can hardly turn around without gens popping.

    It's the other way round: it's pointless to go gens in solo, because you are gonna lose in solo anyway, so why bother, everyone just tries to get as many points as he can by unhooking.
