Lethal Pursuer-do you pursue afkers lethally?
Just asking out of curiosity.
I personally get annoyed at how I feel obligated to ignore these people to be nice. Being nice means you get taunted more often than not, so I've learned my lesson; If I see you afk, you're going immediately on the hook. If you come back, I'll give you a chance though, I'm not completely heartless.

Why would I ignore AFK players? Fastest down and hook you ever seen

If I see someone is standing still with lethal pursuer I'll walk over there and put them
out of their miseryon a hook0 -
Oh, was I supposed to ignore them? I always try to hook them before they disconnect.

I personally slug afks.
And while I dislike when killers not only hook them, but return and rehook them after a save, it's more on the teammate to make sure they are in the game and participating.
Killer doesn't owe me anything, teammates do.
But, just another example of solo q BS.

I always hook AFK’s. Gotta do my job still!

I used to just slug 'em. Now it's the easiest early pressure I could hope for.

The entity does not discriminate. Fresh meat is fresh meat.

You're not obligated to do anything.
I generally hook them immediately because I secure my bbq stack.
Then, I'll usually give them an extra life down the line, but you don't have to.

The amount of times I’ve left afk people alone and get spammed by the afk crows is so annoying. I personally hook em as soon as I can before I get those annoying notifications.

Interesting, I usually hook the AFK to do the present survivors a favor.
"Hey, rather than chase you three I'm going to hook this guy who might come back later and get to contribute. If he doesn't, better him on the hook than you on the hook."
I feel its a fair compromise. If they unhook, I do put him right back on so that they can at least get WGLF unhooks off the person. I wait long enough for it to be a safe hook rescue. I also typically kinda just mess around and play half hearted if its a 3 team from the beginning. I always give hatch to one of them, whichever one seems newest.

I always hook AFK players. It's a free kill and plus I don't want to be getting idle crows notifications for the rest of the match.

I used to down afks but leave them on the floor.
Then I did that once and right before he was about to bleed out (slugged for 3.5 minutes and nobody bothered to help him/they knew he was afk) he came back and turned out he was a hacker.
The best part is after he cheated all the gens (I knew because I had tinkerer that something was off) I still killed him despite him instahealing himself after each down because he eventually bled out in the exit gate area (because he’d been slugged for so long) xD
But yeah, since that game now I just hook afks.

I use Lethal on Nemesis so hell yeah I'm going over there! Free tier 2 and first hook yeeeeaaaah buddy!

Since he's not a threat, I ignore him and hunt the others until I can't stand the idle crow notification anymore. Then onto the hook he goes.
Unless I need to farm him for some stack of something.

When I find an AFKer, and if I have it on me, I will carry them around with agitation and starstruck, lol. It is especially fun if they afk the whole game, as I literally use them as a weapon. I let the other 3 go, but the AFKer dies. lol.

I don’t feel bad for downing AFK survivors. It’s their fault for being AFK.

I kill afks and let the others farm. 3v1 isnt fun so might as well get some points.

No. At the beginning of trial is when you are most pressured so I will go straight to them and hook them to relieve some of that pressure. try not to kill them because I know how bad it sucks to have afk/dc teammates so just do it for some control at beginning.

My rule of thumb with an afk person is I down them but don’t hook them the first time I find them. I’d hate to hook someone that had a real life emergency come up or something. If they’re not back by the time someone else revives them though then I hook them out.
