Stop saying survivors hold w

If a survivor runs in the opposite direction of the killer and holds shift + w and takes the 2 hits. Doesn't drop any pallets, vaults no windows, doesn't try to do anything other than hold shift + w. It takes the killer 48 seconds to down them. Now factor in picking them up, finding a hook and hooking them, and you just lost 3 gens.

I want this game to more about winning the mindgames at loops, rather than just running in a line and immediately dropping every pallet. It makes the game boring to play on both sides.

Well, killers had to learn the flashligh lesson the hard way. So those flashlights aren´t as effictive against veterans who always expect a flashlight.

But since the game gets balanced around new players...

Once again you miss the point...

Holding W is a strategy that is highly efficient where, depending the killer, you waste more of killers time (allowing your team to slam these bad boys called gens) by just running in straight lines with just minimal looping or pallet predrop

Considering this and the fact that if you leave a gen at, say 50 or 60% and run on the other side of the map, even just running, no looping, he will waste so much time to catch on you, down you, hook you, and then gotta walk back at the gen, it gives way more time then nececery for another survivor to finish it

While looping killers and survivors interact in "reflex/mind games" which can be fun for both sides

While "holding W" to just waste the killer time it isnt fun for anyside and the only thing the killer can do to catch up faster....is stack up Bloodlust

(And yeah after some tests you can easily waste somewhere between 40-70 seconds from the killer while just holding W, no loop, pallet or windows)

In the end the killers complain that the survivors play more "efficiently" while having minimal counterplay to this and wasting a lot of time, forcing them to sweat more then before (ans it doesnt help that they are almost forced to equip regretion perks)

It’s just killers complaining tbh, and I’m a killer main.

Killer role: Pressure gens, chase survivors, mind game tiles where applicable, peel off from lengthy chases.

Survivors: Repair gens, loop the killer and waste as much of his time as possible.

”Hold W” is just a complaint from killers IMO about how easy the Survivor role is.

if killers are silly enough to chase a survivor to the corner of the map you’re falling for the bait. No difference from having tunnel vision and watching gens fly by as you eat 10 pallets because of *Clicky clicky*

So you want me to just use up all the nearby resources instead? Want me to also walk into your mouth?

This 100%

Created the game not imagining looping, and have done a pretty bad job adjusting it with band aid fixes like bloodlust and gutting areas.

Survivors can literally just hold W/Forward and its almost always the best decision on any large map.

I only play Survivor and it's telling when the most effective strategy is just running away to get the Killer to go somewhere else, instead of trying to play the pallets.
