When You Sabotage My Hooks ....

.... upon my trying to hang someone, and you do it 4 times, don't get angry when I down you and camp your corpse till you bleed out. Ya, it makes the game boring as Hell, and guess what .... you promoted it. What am I supposed to do? Keep letting you escape while you sabo all the hooks? Meanwhile, 3 other people circle the corpse like it's a goddamn parade; no one does gen's, so im making a decent move, but suddenly im the one who sucks and is called "toxic" for camping.

    I’ve seen 2 different killers do this before and I’m not even sure why. You’re wasting your own time, and everyone else’s.

    Plus you won’t even get that much BPs so what’s the point exactly? Lmfao.
    Killing survivors is part of the game.
    That's not toxic. 
    Slugging them and literally camping them on the floor until they die which keep in mind takes sometime is part of the game? What an experience. Just put on the hook. More BPs. No toxicity.

    If I sabo a hook I don't expect the killer to be kind. Do you?

    Yup, but he doesn't need to be an ass and come on the forums and be all toxic about it. I find it very rude and unproductive.

    While I personally would not go that route, wont say its toxic. Hell, if the other survivors were dancing around the corpse while you camped it, they are encouraging the slugged camping instead of punishing it. In the time it takes to bleed out, they should have at the min 2 gens done.

    That has happened to me a few times... I love those moments.. I take the bleed out with pride. It means I rocked you mentally and you've given up.

    I'll be smiling with glee as I spin at your feet.

    So let’s say that all of the hooks nearby have been sabotaged. Would it really give time for the killer to arrive because it does alert them as a loud noise notification once a hook has been sabotaged. The perk itself makes it longer while with toolboxes it makes it a lot faster.

    I mean even when I play killer or survivor it’s extremely rare for me to see other people sabotage and there’s always one hook around nearby (or basement).

    Plus I think time it takes for hooks to be sabotaged a good 3 minutes to return back. But what’s the point of slugging overall if you can just find other survivors that could be doing generators while you’re camping that slugged person it just doesn’t make any sense to me.

    Im fine when someone sabos a random hook on the other side of a map for dailies.
    But when you sabo hooks while I am carrying someone to the hook, then prepare for a sweaty slugging killer.

    One thing will be guaranteed, the floor will be red from your blood :smile:

    You dont get it. Let's say I do find a hook in reachable distance; then, the survivor goes to that hook while im carrying the other survivor and sabo's that hook. Now do that over and over. So tell me, what am I supposed to do? Keep picking them up, have them sabo, then the survivor escapes? Im supposed to do this over and over?

    Sounds like an easy escape to me. That gives the other survivors plenty of time to finish generators while the downed guy slowly crawls to an exit gate. Then you either gotta' pick them off while three people bodyblock or watch them crawl out.

    Personally I would just chase the guy sabotaging and hook them so they can't break the hooks, that seems way more productive.

    I just told you why. The killer is unable to hook anyway. It is literally impossible when they use this strategy.

    I mean they arent counterplaying it. The best way to punish you for camping is to do gens. You would probably de-rank for the constant loss of points for hook proximity but these guys were too stupid to punish you. Instead they would rather call you out on it.

    One day I tunneled the living ######### out of a Laurie who kept 99% every hook to deny me hooking people. If one guy does it I tunnel them out of my match so I can play normally the rest of my match. The issue comes with swf sabo squads, really annoying to verse.
    Do you watch YouTube content of DbD? Take a look into Marth88's or montos sabo squads video. Quite funny to watch but I can feel the pain and suffering of the Killers who versed them.

    I honestly can't believe you are all arguing about this.
    If you sabo the killer might slug you for revenge or he might hook you and try to kill you for revenge.
    It is not bad manners or against the rules or even a toxic strategy.
    These are perfectly fine ways to approach the game.
    Do what you like it is not a problem for anyone.

    People will tell you to do this or that to counter and may not be wrong, but hindsight is always 20/20 and loadouts can't change in game.
    You did the right thing given your circumstance. At some point in the match you have to make the call as to whether its better to continue or just forces down the cause. If your being denied repeatedly then there really is no point in continuing in that manner. Best case is that you get your target and still have time for atleast one more. I'd take the satisfaction of denying one tbaging exit over bp anyday.

    Have you ever gone in as survivor with the sole purpose of sabo'ing the way you described? Try it a few times and tell me how well you do with it.

    It takes timing. So you go around.. hit some hooks to 99% in an area of the map. Usually choose near doors. So you usually need to hit the 3 or 4 near one another cause there is no point hitting just 1, since the killer could simply take the survivor to another close by hook. This whole time you aren't on gens. Maybe you pick off a couple dull totems as you jump from hook to hook.

    Now the fun part... You have to be in the area, where someone is being chased and downed. You need to be close by aswell, since the killer could have downed the survivor near the 99% hook. Now you need to run up, hopefully not get hit in the process and break the hook.

    So... The majority of the time when you are trying to pull this off, you aren't working on a gen.

    So what do you want?.. Someone who focuses on getting gens done or someone who goofs on the match trying to get that lucky sabo off? And I mean lucky, cause most of the time, you'll never be in the right spot in order to get to that hook and break it in time.

    Sabotaging a hook is part of the game, but sabotaging every hook up to 99% to break it as the killer goes for the sacrifice is provoking and rather toxic. If you're tunneled and camped you probably deserved it a bit.

    It's actually a really good perk when you see 2 or more toolboxes because you let them sabo the hook drop the person and patrol around. They waste time trying to bait you to leave so they can go in for a quick rez, hook re-spawns you hook said victim.

    Then guess what you've got a target rich environment close to the hooked person and if they get unhooked when you're close well there's a fresh victim again.

    Find another hook? Do survivors actually go around sabotaging hooks anymore like I hardly ever see that tbh. I play solo with randoms so I’m not sure.

    Sabo was seriously buffed recently and survivors can fully sabo a hook in the time it takes a killer to pick up a survivor and walk to it. Then the killer has to look around for another hook, which usually are not close by, and hope the survivor doesn't wiggle off before they get there, or that the other survivors don't once again sabo the hook they are walking toward. I feel like people are totally misunderstanding the situation that is described here. It's not talking about just saboing random hooks and the killer getting unlucky and being near one that was saboed, it's talking about saboing a hook in front of the killer as they are walking toward it with a survivor on their shoulder. This absolutely happens. Watch OhTofu do SWF sabo squad on Twitch to see an extreme example of what we are talking about. That said, in these instances, slugging is definitely a better strategy than just letting them wiggle off and run back to their team. Either they will bleed out and die or their team has to waste time going to pick them up and heal them.

    That's bullshit. Watch Marth88's depip squad. 
    Got to tru3ta1ents channel NOW he uploaded a video where you can see what survivors can do if they play optimal. 
    If you never get genrushed it doesn't mean you are to good for this game. It just shows that you usually encounter potatoe survivors. Period.

    No what you're posting is cow patties, since the depip squad experiment is over a year old, the games improved for killers. Then there's the fact that those were 4 pro caliber players each with several k hours played.

    Then add in the fact that they even admitted they were going against baby killers aka killers doing dailies on killers they didn't know how to play.

    You just totally lost all credibility and now i know you're just trying to troll since it was already pointed out to you he was playing perkless and addon less as a Doctor and he played BADLY.

    Ah yes the typical troll excuse when you can't refute make up excuses line that you fought potatoes, it's never you were good. You again lose any credibility with that excuse since it just proves you don't even believe what you say and are just grasping at straws now.

    To use your own logic against you Marth isn't a very good killer when he 4k's because he's obviously facing potatoes. Monto when he did over 100 straight games and 4k'd in all 100 games straight was obviously facing potatoes then using your logic.

    If we take your logic further than anytime any killer gets more than 2k at any rank it's because they were facing potatoes.

    I'll leave you to the other people that're highly experienced with killers to get laughs out that logic.
