On average, how long do you think you can you stay alive during chases?

I'll be honest, I'm a good gen jockey but a terrible looper. I don't last long against any killer that's more than mediocre or there are lots of pallets close by.

Highly depends on the killer. If I'm going against a god tier Nurse, Spirit, or Deathslinger, then yeah, I'm not going to last long. If I know what I'm doing (which happens surprisingly often), I can last for a good while.

I have no idea but if i had to guess it would be around 2 minutes

Considering that a single generator takes 80 seconds to complete, you're talking about completing one and a half generators per chase.

If all four survivors ran the killer for two minutes each it would only take about four chases to get all five generators done.

Frankly I think that the expectations set within the poll options are unrealistic, and also also weirdly phrased. Average chases against who? There's like 25 killers in the game now and for the most part you can't run them every single one of them in the exact same way. What if I accidentally stepped in a bear trap and the chase ended in 5 seconds, does that negatively impact my average because of the few times that I've stepped in bear traps?

Or what about god Spirits and Nurses? Are my chase skills reflected more poorly because I can't run a practically professional nurse for even 30 seconds let alone a minute, or the same for an equally experience spirit?

Or just the sheer level of RNG that exists in Dead By Daylight- Scott Jund has a great video out there somewhere about why tournaments and competitive DBD don't really work and it's because of the great abundance of RNG. My average time chase time on Rotten Fields that I can run the killer is definitely not going to be the same as it would be on The Game. And even if you were comparing the same exact map because of how RNG works you could have one match that spawns with an extremely powerful window loop setup and jungle gyms that chain into each other extremely smoothly one match and then the next have less pallets cumulatively spawn, the position of where said pallets are could be in all the wrong places, different windows could be blocked and so on and so forth.

And I could keep listing variables like this all day but my point here being is that there are quite frankly too many variables to account for for any player to give a serious and legitimate answer. The only possible way you could answer this in a legitimate way is if you recorded all your matches for a set number of days / weeks (it'd have to be a large amount of time to create a reliable sample size of data) watch all that footage back and then time your chases individually and calculate an average based on the average of all your data. (That is, you're creating an average out of an average, and not discriminating against any data whatsoever and basically making the assumption in your own experiment that it is equally easy to run a chase on different maps against different killers. Which is a bad assumption, it's obviously not true.) Everybody else here who is trying to pass off that they run average of 4 minute chases per game is very clearly just guesstimating at that point- and equally I can say I run 10 minute chases on average and ya'll couldn't say squat.

Beyond this, just generally this kind of poll question I think promotes the notion that your value / worth as a survivor player is largely dependent on how long you can run a killer. Sure, that's part of your skill when you play as survivor, but to say its the sole focus and determining factor I think is generally a negative perspective as far as survivor gameplay goes.

All around with these things in mind I'm just not a fan of this particular poll question and the proposed available answers. There's a lot more to the conversation than just "hey dude-bro, how long can you last in a chase?"

I cannot stay so much since i have internet lag and also sometimes drop frames because of a gt 610 gpu pc

but most times because of ping lag :)

I'm not great at chases, sometimes I go down very fast and other times I surprise myself and get chased for a good while. I probably voted a little harshly on myself but not sure.

When I voted I was thinking irl

I never play survivor so I can only assume I’m terrible.

Also anybody saying they last more than two minutes on average in a chase is either exceptionally great or really overestimating how long they last. I’m positive average chase lengths are well below the two minute mark unless the survivor is much, much better at the chase than the killer. It’s pretty simple, the average hooks per game is around 8 or so, and the average game length is around 10-12 minutes with a decent portion of the game not involving any chases. So the average chase lengths from start to down must be around 1 minute or less. There’s just not enough time for games to have average lengths of 2 minutes or more in chases.

Like 2 years ago when I played a lot more and obviously before mmr. I got to the point of being able to loop most killers for half the game/gens or more. Now I'm rusty at survivor but can still figure out the tile layouts.

Anyone not as confident in looping I suggest running buffed Windows. I don't have it on many of my survivor or run it often but seeing some high mmr games with it you can see why chases could go 4 or 5 gens.

2-3 gens

not sure how much time that really is, depending on survivor repair diligence, but wasting pallets always could increase one’s time enough for more gens to get done, but it can be too risky, and inconsiderate for the other survivors to take their pallets.

using only a couple pallets... a few gens worth
