Afk Survivors, we need to talk...
I've had a bunch of matches lately with that one afk survivor. Either back in a corner of the map, or hiding in a locker. At the endgame you see they had no items, no addons, no offerings. Hmmmm....
You guys are just screwing over everyone, except usually the killer. In my case you are screwing over the killer too, because I just can't bring myself to play 100% against a team that is -1 due to afk or DCs.
People complain about tunneling and camping by killers, but you are many times worse because you just did all of that against your team and the killer literally had to do nothing. Quit being lazy and even if you suck, you'll at least get much more BP out of it, and your team will at least have a chance.
For the rest of the survivors on the team, know that I'm going to sacrifice the afkers and the rest of ya are free to go. I might grab a hook or two from ya for my trouble, but you don't mind, right? :)

To be fair, I wouldnt be surprised if half these players were just afk to reduce their MMR so they wouldnt face Nurses etc. I dont blame em.

Total bullshit. You can play a game through and then die at the end. Or just play solo queue and you'll derank most of the time anyway.
There's no argument for being AFK. It's purely selfish and bogs down the game.

From everything I've heard about soloQ, lowering your MMR is a bad idea because while the killers get easier, your teammates are more likely to he potatoes as well.

Blame the sweaty nurses ruining the event for people to the point where they want their MMR to be lower.

You could also blame the sweaty genrushing swfs that ruin the event to the point that people want to play sweaty nurses just so they feel they can compete...and the cycle goes on.
OR....you can blame people afking and screwing over thier own team instead of people on both sides playing the game the way it's designed.
Yeah, I'm going to go with option B.

As I read so many times before in this forum whenever someone complains against frustrating stuff only to get spammed with the same parroted mantra.
"You are not entitled to any fun from my part".
Its a crappy motto but those who live by the sword die by the sword.

I can't stand players that do that all game even though they did ready-up in the lobby and then are AFK just as the trail starts and remain so. I usually kill them and let the others go or just hook all of them twice and then call it a day.
However, I did have an instance myself that I had to AFK mid-game, because I was getting attacked by a wasp 😅 tho afterwards I apologised/explained in end-game chat, and they were all good sports luckily. Sometimes irl things happen lol

You're not entitled for people to play in a way that's fun for you, true... but I do think you're entitled to people actually trying to play the game. Being downstairs making a sandwich is not a valid playstyle.

Yeah, but potato teammates are better than super sweaty nurses in the current state of the game. Its not about killers getting easier, its about not encountering nurse

People camped for 2 minutes on a hook or bleed for 4 minutes are also trying to play the game but they are not entitled to it either, it goes both ways, take your free wins and enjoy them.
Im not defending the act of going AFK but seeing people complaining others wont play when half the playerbase defends forfeiting the right to play is not only a valid strategy but the way to go...

Except, the only time that is true for Nurse is if you have 4 man SWF on comms who are prepared to do so. The addons make Nurse much easier to get hits, there either is a quirk that makes her lunge further too(probably the increased speed) or makes her desync making it seem like she has a bigger lunge.
I dont mind the super sweaty blights, even if I get tunneled out, at least I would have had time to be unhooked and reach a loop. Even hugbug with Alchemist Ring is refreshing.
As for Event or not Event, they literally were non-existent untill the event. I had about 30% Nurses, 30% Blights, 15% Bubba's, 15% Huntress, 5% Nemesis and 5% any other killer. The event? I have 95% Nurse, 3% Blight, 1% Bubba and 1% any other killer.
So yeah, it does matter, especially since I am playing soloq and have no comms with my teammates, let alone that I purposely dont really run sweaty builds to keep my MMR lower than it should be because I dont enjoy super sweaty games. So either 1 of 2 things have happened: 1. I have been yeeted into the highest brackets of MMR(which I doubt, I've barely been playing prior to the event) or 2. People are purposely playing Nurse to ruin the fun of other people. My bet is on 2.

honestly.
It's one thing if you've gotta go briefly afk midway through a match to avoid dcing, it's entirely another to do nothing to help your team.

"You could also blame the sweaty genrushing swfs that ruin the event to the point that people want to play sweaty nurses just so they feel they can compete...and the cycle goes on."
Except no, it does not. Because there is an MMR at play. And since I play solo surv mostly, my MMR shouldnt be within 150 points of sweaty genrushing SWF's, hence I shouldnt face Nurses who play sweaty because of that. This problem originates from the Nurse, not survivors.(Thats not even talking about how the current genregression Meta, especially on Nurse, completely obliterates any attempt on genrushing, genrushing these days is a myth, they might still be faster than you'd like, but thats not genrushing)
Unless SBMM, for whatever reason, has been turned off without notice for the duration of the event. If SBMM has been turned off, then yeah, ######### the people who go afk. If its still on, nah, dont blame em. There is a temporary event that increases BP a lot and Nurse games that heavily limit the amount of BP you can earn. I rather use cakes versing A-tier killers than stockpiling all my cakes and not using them at all due to the way games against Nurse go
(Flans, I'm too used to cakes, but flans*)

I'd say it is, especially since her addons were (somewhat) fine untill they updated it right before the events. They released a hotfix, they have killswitches, they could have delayed the update untill after the event. Not like Nurse needed another buff.

You can't. They're not here right now.

Heh, I almost made a similar comment in my OP :D

And I've played almost exclusively mid to low tier killers that 8 hook and let most if not all survivors go unless:
1) they are complete asses (and even then)
or
2) I need to complete a challenge
Yet I still face sweaty genrushing swfs...so here we are. The difference is I still play the game and try to get my 8 hooks even knowing it's probably not even going to be close. I still try because it's a game and I'm here to play, whether I get demolished or not. I'll get better at it with practice against them...and I don't have three other people counting on me to at least try to play.
Nurse is broken, it sucks for you guys, I feel for you. But go do something else then. Stop punishing the people who aren't causing the problem and are depending on you to at least have a reasonable chance at a good game while rewarding the very people you have a problem with.

Yeah, but 1 key difference there is, even though your game sucked, you'd get a decent amount of BP every game, let alone 3 flans per bloodweb. I switched between killer and survivor quite a bit, soloq is simply at a point where I'd rather not play the game, but its a once a year event.
Then a second difference, you can guess that survivors use toolboxes with BNP and dodge, you dont have that benefit as a survivor.
Really, consider all the negative things about soloq, then add Nurse that can destroy SWF's 24/7 on top of that

Like I said, go do something else then if it's so bad for you, play killer, find swf groups, or play another game until BHVR finally decide to fix her. Stop screwing other people over. In fact, not playing soloQ will make a bigger impact and statement than afking ever will.

Again, limited time event, same logic goes there, why am I forced to miss out on a limited time event, with limited time offerings and cosmetics, just because of a thing that can be killswitched.
I am on break now untill the update, and if I encounter more than 4 nurses using the same add-ons, you bet im gonna stay on break untill my MMR has lowered or Nurse has been nerfed.
Note that I didn't afk myself at any point during the event, but I am not going to blame anyone for doing so during the event. Outside events? Yeah, sure, screw em.

I haven't got the displeasure to be grouped with AFK survivors very often. Sometimes someone starts the match one minute late but survivor queues are so long sometimes one might miss the sound cue of the start of the trial.
I did not think for one second someone would be so abjectly entitled and devoid of any consideration for his fellow teammate as to do that on purpose. Reading some of the comments of the thread, I guess I was wrong.

Are they really AFK, or are they trying to do some challenge that requires them to play weird?
