So,according to some players I've played against.Killers shouldn't chase just one person for awhile?
Killers should let them escape and heal up? Yeah, no I'm not doing that especially if they're the only survivor in site.
But you know, we gotta play in a way to benefit survivors.

Play how you want to play

Sure, make sure to keep chasing the strongest one for 5 gens, I'm sure that will benefit you greatly.

Oh good. It had been almost five entire minutes since I had seen a completely pointless 30 word 'Us vs Them' thread that won't do anything besides incite arguments.
I was getting worried.

That sounds like something said by someone who was salty about being tunneled, but they're also technically correct. If you're chasing one person for an extended period of time, then you're not contesting generators, which to an extent should be your priority. You can re-injure survivors, but you can't un-repair generators once they're completed. Also if you're chasing someone for an extended period of time, that could be a sign they're one of the better players on the team, in which case you don't want to chase them, at least not yet. In the early game you need to identify the weak links and pick them off. Cause even if someone is a weak link, their presence alone is a huge help to the team, and removing them from the match will mean they have less people to repair generators/heal others/unhook others. If you've identified someone whose really good at looping, pick off the other teammates if you can and wait until they're 1 of 2 people left to chase them.

One thing I can say about all of that, play the way you want to play.
They won't take things in consideration on your side either.

If you feel the need to chase one player the whole match go head play how you want, but don't complain when the gens get done fast.

Had a killer who did just that, and it even almost cost him the match as well 😬😅
2 -
Ok, so that's an m1 killer on The Game. That match was stacked against him to begin with because he has no anti-loop capabilites on a map that requires them to stand any chance of victory. Not the best match to use as an example here.

Could you point out, where he said that he chased a survivor for 5 gens or the whole match?
Or do you want to provide more strawman "arguments"?

More strawman arguments👍️

Don´t try to play by the "survivor rulebook for killers".
Because even if you follow every single ridiculous rule in it, the survivors will still complain after the match, unless they got a 4 man escape.
A good killer knows when to break a chase or continue one. Say, for example, if you chase a survivor that predrops the god pallet and all the pallets on the strong tiles, then its worth spending some more time on that survivor. As it benefits you in the long run.

You do not want to chase 1 survivor more than 3 or 4 pallets. That allows you to change to different target, hopefully around those broken pallets. Plus if you are spending a lot of time chasing 1 survivor, then that survivor is really good at looping. You probably want to switch to a weaker target.
Get hung up on a chase will lose you the game because you get frustrated.

I remember a match, where i hooked survivor A, then survivor B, then C and finally D. Before i went for the second hook of survivor A. So i played exactly accordingly to the survivor rule book.
The moment i downed survivor A the second time, he disconnected and left a toxic tunneling message on my profile.

What's wrong with posting something that not everyone is going to agree with? Basically...everything falls under this heading.
Just do what you want to do and turn endgame chat off. Don't facecamp (it'll inflate your MMR and you won't really improve), don't smurf and don't BM unless someone BMs you first.
For a reference point, I've had people:
- Complain about me playing Doctor, Cenobite, Demo or off-kilter builds, because 'I should just play normally'.
- Complain that I didn't let them heal up.
- Complain that I waited for them to leave a locker.
- Complain because I grabbed them after they tried to unhook right after I hooked someone.
- Complain because I ended the game after 2 people DCed.
- Complain because I didn't end the game after someone DCed.
This game is a machine designed to produce frustration.
Yup.
I made my Steam profile private after I beat a TTV group way back (I played completely fairly, they were trying too hard to sabo vs a Hag) when and I had a whole bunch of nasty stuff posted. Now I get accused of hacking because I have a private profile.
Welcome to the machine.

I don't see the point of these threads. I mean, you know you'll get the classic "play thr way you want".
That's it. Play the way you want, chase who you want to chase, etc.
I don't know what we can do, unless you needed us to let you know that, yes, you can play how you want as long as you respect the ToS.

What I believe they are saying is that if you only focus on chasing 1 survivor you will lose, which is true. You gotta play the game like it's a 4v1.
If one survivor seems like they are better than you, and are wasting your time in chase then you should just leave them. Try to find survivors who are weaker or out of position instead.

A minute to down a healthy survivor might be ok, but two minutes is too long. In two minutes the other three survivors can potentially do 3-4 gens, and if you spend another two minutes chasing the next person the gens could be completely done by the time you get two hooks.
Knowing when to keep chasing someone and when to switch to patrol gens and find a different target to pressure is important. Yeah, if you think you have a good chance of downing someone quickly go for it. But if not then switching and hopefully catching someone else who is a weaker runner or out of position or in a dead zone is the better play, even if it means the person you injured gets some time to heal.

Not a good idea. If someone's really able to squeeze lots of time out of each pallet, or absolutely confounds you at chained tiles, and a chase is trending upwards of a minute with no progress on your end, you should leave them and return to gens to find someone else. The strong player should be left for last or hopefully ambushed in a worse area of the map.
"Don't chase one survivor all game" isn't a survivor mandate, it's killer advice to other killers. Highly skilled loopers want to be chased all game because they're handing their team a free win.
2 -
My rule is 'always try to get something out of them'. A pallet sometimes has to suffice.
I try to drop chase after I hit BL2 unless I know I'm going to down them.

Hahaha well yeah i know the game map is highly survivor favoured, but my point was that even if 2 people are left, it can even be possible to lose that match entirely.
On a side note, you can still with M1 killers on the game map, been there done that.
Even 4k several times with infinite tombstone Myers, and we all know that he is damn slow and takes ages to tier up.

Yeah some people will always find something to cry about.
I can remember a match as spirit before her 2nd nerf (i think), never did the stand still mindgame.
Consistently went after different survivors every time, you can even hear me say at 1 point "i see you, you can go heal her back up and i go after him" or something like that.
In the end i got 12 hooks and then 1 guy got so salty over it and kept crying over many messages for several hours.
Later went to my YT and kept crying to almost every vid i posted, for about an entire year, even when i stopped playing dbd for several months 😂
You will never play right in the eye of the survivors, that's why i will play the way i like.
2 -
So you just turned a friendly (and useful) advice people gave you into a matter of "them vs us"? Congratulations...
1 -
I had someone who saw my comments on the steam forum, post messages on my profile. Never played with that person, but apparently he felt the need to contribute to my wall of dbd comments. All because he disliked my opinion.
So yeah, best you can do is simply ignore the endgame chat and play how you want.

You go girl. We are strong independent killers and don't need no survivors to tell us how to run our lives. Mhmmm.
2 -
You should give up a chase if getting nothing from it. You're wasting your time chasing one Meg for multiple gens. If you aren't getting a hit or at least eating resources or pallets within, say, 15 seconds, you should probably leave and just go pressure gens. It's counter intuitive, but you need to pick your battles and it's important to know when a survivor is wasting your time and you could be doing far more elsewhere.
Don't feel afraid to leave a tough target for an easier one.

This is the first game where people take a loss so personally that they feel the need to harass people on their profiles because of it. Or at least i haven´t played any other games where people went out of their way to complain about how a match went.

Breaking chase is unironically good advice in some situations.
But to tell you what you actually wanted to hear, since people on this forum need to be told this hourly or else they start losing life essence,
haha salty survivor say dumb thing haha ahaha aaa eeeeee
0 -
Who's telling you to play in a way that benefits survivors? Do what you want man. I definitely advise other killers to avoid chasing one person forever because that gives the rest of the survivors the room to smash all their gens and leave, but again just get on with it and play how you want. Why get so caught up on what others say?
0 -
Think of it like this you can switch as long as you dont loose your bloodlust buff
0 -
Yeah some people have a difficult time handling a loss, it's like it's their first loss in their lifetime 😂
The most funniest discussion i had was with someone who also lost from me and wanted to fight irl with me, he claimed to be a professional MMA fighter and he would kill me if i would come to him
Never laugh so hard over messages 😂

This is actually good advice in some situations. Like, don't dedicate against a skilled survivor for all 5 gens, and switch targets if you're struggling to get that hit. As long as you get someone on the hook, at least one person has to stop doing gens to save them.
