    I think tripping hags traps is the most important on your list! Like come on dumbass you know its hag and so do I. So why run straight to the hook for a save when you know 99% of hags place a trap at the hooked survivor. 🤦‍♂️

    exactly someone run through pop traps and the follow rescuer a meters behind when the Hag pursues the bait.

    That too but I meant something else. Like if I am not doing a gen I run around tripping her traps, when she is picking someone up.

    This post comes off as hostile, and many of your points aren't worth of anyone Rank 1. For instance, it's incredibly easy to hit R1 as a Survivor on consoles, and hitting skill checks can be difficult without that sweet PC framerate. Unless you meant exclusive to PC, in which case each player is allowed to play at their own pace and you can't expect everyone to be gods at a casual game just because you play more and want to win.

    Yeah I play on PC.

    No, i understood i was just adding to it. I do the same thing. set off traps like a maniac if i can while the hag is carrying someone. I also pop Trappers traps when injured at certain loop spots since i'm already injured.

    The real question here is; how did they manage to reach rank 1 anyways?
    Maybe they are indeed learning and simply have less hours than you?
    Something must be wrong with the ranking system~

    Yeah I wrote in other threads about it. Ranking system is a disaster.

    Yeah it triggers me aswell. + the fact that red rank killers are 99% really decent so I'm literally in a 1v1 with the killer lol.

    I remember back then when the emblem system came out, pipping was difficult. So whenever I went into a solo match at red ranks I knew for a fact my mates are decent. 
    Sadly, many noobs were crying it's to hard and now everyone pips ez

    Also, unfortunately, rank hacking still works and boosting is also a problem that needs to be addressed. Meanwhile when I play killer (rank 10 atm), I get all these insanely good survivors and I am like, where the f*** are you guys when I need you at rank 1.

    Rank one killer is better than rank one survivor. That’s how I judge how good someone may or may not be.

    It astounds me how few people can dodge Billy chainsaws or stop sprinting against Hag at high ranks.
    Also can we add "don't know how to stop sprinting for 3 ######### seconds" to this list?

    Some of the points are iffy. Hiding is for cowards. :P Though seriously, I'd rather just run the killer than hide in a locker 100% of the time and makes even less sense when someone is near to you, not hiding. Also, I've had games where the survivor didn't heal (possibly due to mangled) and was easily downed due to that. So if it makes you good, it also makes you bad, I guess? As for suicide on hook, I'm gonna get my struggle points if the person was camping hatch. Besides, some people can make plays. I've had people suicide on hook with one gen left and while I ended up getting the hatch 'cause it was between me and them, I would have still liked attempting to get both of us out.

    Not everyone will play perfectly 100% of the time and it's entirely possible to rarely run into certain killers and therefore not be sure on how to interact with them. I highly doubt you're a perfect survivor, yourself.

    I never get a single teammate that knows how to do at least half of that stuff. Really shows how easy it is for people to get to rank 1...

    My friend is outrageously bad. No offense to her, but she doesn't do any Rank 1 type stuff, and she made it to rank 1.

    Well, if they made it to rank 1, they must be one of the best players in this game. /s

    The post may come off as arrogant, but truthfully it is packed with high level advice. Keeping all these points in mind will make you a better killer a d or survivor. And yes its hard to remember them all, all the time but the more you practice these things the more natural they become.

    Yep, the ranking system is the core problem of this game.Most of the other issues derive from here. I've said it many times, it needs to be about chase Also, I added another point about Legion, feel free to make more suggestions.

    You don't have to be a God at this game to know the basics that op points out

    No, some of them are basic, sure, but memorizing every pallet/totem in every variant of every map? That's crazy. I've played lots of hours on several systems and still don't know all of them, but to expect everyone to distract the killer for all five gens is just silly. And often, you start getting chased halfway through a match only to find all the pallets are already gone. I get that a lot of players have many more hours than me, and can run around for a while, but I'm not at that level yet, though it's still easy for me to hit Rank 1.

    I think if you're working on gens, evading the killer as best you can, and assisting teammates, this means you're a good player. You don't have to escape just to rank up (like how it is now).

  • Sinner
    Sinner Member Posts: 334

    Yeah, that's why I made the thread. Because there are a lot of people at rank 1, that don't know how to counter high skilled killers. You can't run a rank 1 killer for 5 gens, unless he is boosted by NOED, that's not what I expect. I expect from my fellow rank 1 survivors to not die 5 seconds after they've been found. Hence the tips.

    Actually it was also killers complaining as not enough survivors were ranking up quick enough which caused long queues at the red ranks.

    YES! These are the types of skills that should be shown in R1.

    Theres a LOT of survivors who don’t do any of these things that you’ve mentioned especially looking behind them while they’re in a chase. Survivors like that shouldn’t be at R1.

    Then they have the audacity to complain about how killers are too over-powered. 😂. Like honey..... killers are not over-powered... you just don’t know what tf you’re doing....
