An excuse I don't get

So in short terms.

Spirit had Blood Warden and a Nea was hooked I was in a chase Kate opened exit gate who had zero hooks and left I try leaving and end up dead. I message the Kate asking why they left and here's their excuse.

My 6 year old daughter was playing.

How explain how a 6 year old was able to play this game not get a single hook and repair gens. My little brother played Killer and he didn't do good which is to be expected new to the game and having to remember so much but how can a 6 year old face a Spirit who knew what they were survive.

    Unpredictability.

    Hard to mind game a survivor when you never know what option they may take. A 6 yr old who isn't used to this game won't fall into the same patterns as a survivor player who's been around for a while, could throw someone off.

    Also, mechanically there is nothing that is beyond what a 6 yr old could do in this game, especially on the survivor side. The only "skill" required to fix a gen is the ability to hit a qte that's always the same button. Mario party is literally more difficult.

    Am I missing something? What’s wrong with a survivor leaving after the doors are open?

    After the success of the Survivor rulebook for killers, a follow-up was written. Rule 1, don't let the OP die. Ever

    Kids are smarter than you think, man. And it's not really an excuse, I mean even if it wasn't a 6 year old and just another average player.. no one has any obligation to risk themselves to save you. Like none at all. Sure it's a team based role, but that doesn't mean anything when a win is based individually

    Playing without the rulebook are you? That's a violation!😉

    I saw child's play when I was 6, my sister was 11.

    I thought it was great and wanted a good guy doll for Christmas. My sister duct taped her talking doll (old toy, you would stick a cassette in her back and she'd talk, we used to stick GnR and Poison in there) so that the hands and feet were tied, put it in a box, and put that box in a nightstand that she insisted be nailed shut, before locking it in her closet. She didn't open that closet for 5 years.

    My point is kids are weird, what one kid can handle, another may not be able to at twice that age.

    There are adults playing this game that hide for an entire match waiting on the teammates to do gens or die so they can open a door and leave or find hatch. Really not that difficult for 6 year old to do the same.

    With SBMM and as solo theres no reason to stay behind and help randoms like there was with emblem system. SBMM has encouraged the selfish gameplay that the emblem system punished.

    Every person deals with things differently, and that does include children.

    For some of them, DBD is definitely not scary.

    They're probably joking and didn't take the game seriously enough to engage in a tactical debate

    There are a lot of defensive leavers in this thread… 🤣

    Yes, the six-year-old story sounds like a weird lie.
