Someone save me

From this matchmaking. I boot up a solo Q game for an Ace daily. I eat lethal pursuer and run the killer for over 2 minutes solid while my team does chests and dull totems instead of gens

Within 1 minute of the killer leaving me, all 3 teammates are downed and have been hooked and the game instantly falls apart

Then I get trash talked by a survivor who went down in like 10 seconds to the killer because I didn't die along with the team / commit to a gen in front of an instadown killer?

Solo Q is a special kind of hell and left behind is the best perk, prove me wrong

    Yup. Solo queue is a special kind of terrible for good players. It's a consistent thing. You run a killer for multiple gens, and then teammates manage to go down instantly to that same killer.

    The matchmaking isn't even close most of the time. A little variety between teammates should be expected, but they should all be in the same stratosphere.

    So, basically you left them to die? It would be consistent with what you've said in another thread.

    At 0:52 I would have rushed to the hooks immediately. It's a certain-death situation for the team. The killer cannot camp both hooks at the same time and there is still a chance to recover. But then the video is cut ...

    ... And this is the whole reason I stopped playing and whenever I do feel like playing 1 match every X months, I play once and quit again for some more X months.


    Solo survivor is unplayable. Either get a team of friends, play killer or just uninstall.

    Can't blame them.

    Dude...where do I even start on this one?

    • After the last clip you posted, complaining about someone else being BM is...well, a saying about 'glass houses' comes to mind.
    • Did you even try to unhook people?
    • Why cut the video like that? It's a bit sus - makes it look like the killer hit a bit of a snowball, but rather than trying to undo it, you just hid and waited for hatch, which with Left Behind seemed to be the plan all along.
    • If you go into matches expecting everyone to die, don't be surprised when everyone dies and then gets narky with you.
    • You play killer, so you know how snowbally this game is. Even good players lose sometimes.

    Not going to lie, I would be upset if you didn't unhook me, I wouldn't harass you in post-chat since it's a waste of my time, and mostly moved on to the next by that point.

    however at the same time, I would give you credit for running the killer for that long.

    and as a reminder, getting hatches does NOT increase your mmr, only getting out though the exit gates, if I am not mistaken.

    But if you plan to play selfish again, is best to have post chat off and move on.

    The replies here are bizarre to me. The game isn't winnable if teammates are going down in rapid succession to a killer OP ran for 2 gens. What is the point in unhooking? It extends an unwinnable game. The killer would have to be wildly incompetent to lose if they have that much hook pressure

    It comes down to whether you are going to take a gamble on turning a tough game around (and allow your teammates a crack at victory) or whether you are going to let them die for a slightly better chance at a personal victory.

    I've won (and as killer, lost) games in this exact scenario - 1 gen left, I get a big burst of pressure but the survivors unhook, run me a bit and I end up with a 1k rather than a 4k.

    I wouldn't cuss the OP out in postgame (unless I'm having a really bad day) but I would definitely be annoyed. It comes down to being selfish versus being sportsmanlike.

    It's not unwinnable. Sometimes a killer snowballs but it doesn't mean he'll snowball again. The situation looked like there was a chance to do at least one save, probably two. If the killer doesn't camp three isn't out of the question but that would mean two or three escapes.

    The guys were doing gens while he was kiting the killer along. That was team work.

    Unless there is absolutely no chance for a save, I'd go.


    When I play killer, I'm kind of pissed at survivors who are letting their friend die selfishly or cowardly. If it happens, I stop at nothing to kill that last one. (Usually the 3rd survivor gets the hatch) It's usually the good runner who dies though, the remaining one being a less experienced player with a tendency to hide when there is a killer on the map.


    I hope one day BHVR will adjust the scoring to adequately reward the selfless heroes taking some risks to save the others. It may make some matches less boring too.

    I've had similar experiences where I'm able to pick up multiple downed survivors and we were able to reset and pull off a win in both solo and 2swf. It's happened enough that I wouldn't even consider rare.

    You lie so convincingly you should run for politics. Lmao

    I've done it in a SWF before with an infinite T3 Myers...this was the first time I've pulled it off solo though. My Deception came in so handy - and there's me running it as a meme build :)

    I played solo and this guy is running the survival of the fittest build.

    The video is just there to prove the timeframes. That was literally over a 2 minute run. All 3 of them did managed to get hooked within 1 minute.

    Tell me what the third survivor was doing during that run? Oh yeah, nothing. 2 gens popped and that was it. That should have been 3.5 gens if not more.

    And I was the obsession too so it's not like people didn't notice I was getting chased. On my way to my first gen I noticed a broken dull totem and looted chest.

    On the side of the map with all the pallets left too no doubt. If that Billy had chased someone else first that game would have been over at like 5 gens left.

    I ended up doing that gen, and one more. So literally half the gens for the team as well. You just can't win those kinds of games and I won't even pretend to try.
