Why do survivors dc in first hook?

Only reason to dc is getting harshly cucked by rubberbanding. So far, it's driven me to the point I'm ditching the event.

I’ve had killers dc when a hex his cleansed in the first minute of the match. Why do they do that? They know the risk of bringing it. It goes both ways

Just to give the killer less BP and just to spite the killer.

Pettiness. They don't like the map, the killer, how the killer played, or how they played during their first chase, so they scuttle the entire game for everyone.

It's especially baffling now, when every game is bloodpoint city.

DCing over your info at the first hook is still stupid. You don't know if that totem they're cleansing is a hex, or if they're dropping a fat boon into the game. I've had people ragequit because I wasn't running to save them, because my gen was 95% and I planned to get them after it was done. Heck, even the guy standing still or entering a locker might just be checking a text message or stepped out to get a package at the door. There's definitely bad omens you can get from the aura read on your teammates, but quitting over them is worse than anything your teammates might be doing. I've had games where I went "######### seriously?" at all three of my teammates crouching/walking around when I first got hooked, and the game turned out fine and 3/4e'd. You don't know how it's gonna go until it plays out.

They mad

You're not a true surv main unless you DC during the hook animation but before the hook is scored to deny your BBQ stack. Bonus points for staying 10 minutes in post game to complain once the match is over.

That's my MO. I usually DC on spawn or shortly after, or suicide on first hook for a few situations:

-Bubba (Not interested in being facecamped by a one-shot killer).

-Legion (Will never be interested in Mending Simulator #283455593743659-04-F with Warp Speed and Terror Radius-wide Killer Instinct).

-Swamp Map (Swamp Map; I'll give it a shot but the map wears thin fast, on both killer and survivor.).

-Trickster (if I've had more than three trials with one in the same play session. That guy is annoying spelled out in neon.)

-Any killer that is trying way too hard vs a potato group.

-I also have special circumstance for instances, like events. Example: Trial has 4-5 cakes/flans/streamers up and the killer is playing like they need everyone dead before a single gen is done. They can certainly do that, of course. I look at it more like if I'm going out with ######### BPs, so can the killer. I'm really happy to see so many people have adopted this philosophy in the latest event. The items are wasted either way, so drop ######### BPs on the try-hard and hop into another trial. Time far better spent. :) One trial I was in yesterday had a killer go on a slugfest before the first gen was done. Two people LD'd on the ground, one suicided on the hook, all before I could even get the killer's attention so I could suicide out! I wound up finding the hatch first and got out!

As an FYI to rescuers, if someone is suiciding on a hook, you really don't need to bother trying to pull them off. Most of the time they'll stand there till they get hit/hooked again, giving you no Safe Unhook for stacks/BPs. It'll also likely just get you injured, and take time away that you could have been doing gens or something else. Even if you're doing it out of spite, it really is more of a problem for you.

There's tons of trials going on now, and plenty of them that are fun. You just have to wait for them. Speeding things along helps greatly. :)

Just because I go out on the first hook sometimes, doesn't mean I was the first hook of the game. I prefer playing stealth at first and getting a good look around vs running around mindlessly leaving scratch marks everywhere and making noise.

A recent trial I actually got to watch a Nemesis camp their first hook at the farm. I mean a Nemesis.

Last trial I got out of was a Bubba running Insidious in Midwich, hooking/knocking people down then hiding around corners. The other three survivors kept running in and trying to save someone, and wound up on the ground beside them. Once I got away I went to the other end of the map and bounced between floors doing gens/totems. When everyone else was dead and the hatch closed, I sat upstairs between where the two exits were and listened to the Bubba's terror radius going back and forth for the entire timer. Most exercise he's ever gotten. At the end of the match they were like "so stupid easy". Truth be told it was. Mix poor character design and no way for the devs to fix it, with players who were empathetic to the point of being idiotic. I got some BPs out of it, but I'd known in the first 30 seconds of the trial what was going to happen, and that if I wound up on a hook I was out. The other survivors had to have someone do it for them.

It's not "pro" anything. It's just common sense. And yes, you can quit after the first gen on a killer all you want. Nothing's forcing you to do otherwise. It's not quite the same as skipping trials on a survivor, but if it's fun knock yourself out. By dropping out of the ######### trials and running more balanced/fun ones, I make way more BPs/shards over the same amount of time and walk away with far less stress than I used to have over the game. Win/win! Play what's fun for you. :)

I once got a bucket load of salt because I had 2 DC when playing as The Plague, and I just wanted the game over with and get into the next one. "How can you play like this with 2 DC? Should have let us go!" "Fggging tryhard" "Toxic killer". It was quite enlightening. But getting an early DC is a bit like tunneling someone out early: it gives the killer much more breathing room and takes a giant weight off your shoulders, so I relax my gameplay a lot and got for 8 hooks on the remaining survivors, letting the last one live. Doesn't protect you from the salt, but it surely reduces it a lot.
