Suicide on hook needs to be addressed... I'm tired of playing 3vs1 games everytime
It's getting out of hand it's just too much SoloQ is torture no one does gens it's difficult enough with 4 survivors but now everyone that loses a chase just suicides on hook instantly or any small inconveniences like it's a nurse or someone gets outplayed , literally 95% of the hook suicides happen before any gens are done so there no hope of finishing all the remaining gens with 3 players.. and no I don't want to hide waiting for hatch it takes forever and it's not fun.
Self unhook attempts need to be changed in a way that it's less likely to escape % but also it doesn't kill you on hook quickly, any changes that will fix this are needed asap because it's getting out of hand.. Every 1 of 2 matches I play last few months someone suicides on hook way too early.
It's like domino as soon as someone suicides at 5 gens everyone loses hope in winning the match so others will look for the killer to kill them and others dc and after that no one wants to play a lost game anymore.

Personally I'd remove the self escape mechanic altogether outside of deliverance. I don't know why it's even there. Slippery meat could simply increase the time it takes for the hook to actually kill you instead and decrease the time it takes to unhook you.

I was thinking just about that after posting lol, removing the whole thing won't make a difference since it's very rare to get lucky with it and it will eliminate the suicide on hook problem.

I get your frustration but if I'm running the killer for 5 mins and no gen pops, I end up on a hook and I see two survivors healing while one is either hiding or being chased and I go to struggle.. I'm not waiting anymore and just want to leave.
Why should I get punished for potatoes in my lobby? It's not that hard to hold M1

You're ruining the game for everyone, the self unhook mechanic is being abused to leave games without penalties instead of disconnecting.
Removing the whole mechanic or fixing it so that you can't die quickly on your command is going to force everyone to play the game or disconnect and face the penalties.

They should change attempts to guarantee escape but without Deliverance you are broken for a time, with Deliverance you can heal yourself. If survivors are guaranteed to get off the hook if they unhook themselves then they'll be stuck in game a bit longer. If they want to die they can go find the killer to down and hook them again, like they do now when someone unhooks them.

That's why i die go next, if my teammates are useless i want out of the game asap.

Ehhh, I don't blame people when you get nurses standing infront of survivors during events like this, better they move onto the next match and have fun, this was literally 5 minutes ago.

It would make more sense to remove the reasons why people suicide on Hook. The thing is, as Solo Survivor you will not care too much about the other teammates if you can get into the next game.
I mean, sure, if you get camped, the best thing is to be on the Hook for the full 2 minutes to allow your team to escape. But I would not blame Solo-players if they dont want to do that.
We will also see an increase in Hook-Suicides with the new Patch. With some of the Slowdown possible on Killers like Legion or Plague, I bet quite a bunch of Survivors will just suicide, because there is not really a point to play against Plage when Gens take 2 1/2 minutes to do Solo.
So, yeah... Removing stuff which makes people suicide on Hook would be the right way to do. You will obviously still have people suiciding no matter what, this will always happen. But it will happen less frequently, e.g. yesterday an Ace suicided against a Bubba. Camped a Pallet and got downed because of that. His own mistake, this person will always give up on first Hook, nothing you can change.
But for example: Less Survivors will DC against a Blight with no Add-Ons than against a Blight with Alchemists Ring.

I'm telling it's not even camping just randomly people suiciding because killer found them first or they couldn't loop for too long or a they get hit through a pallet.. Like most of them suicide and the killer is far away looking for someone else and it's not fair for the 3 others working so hard on finishing the gens it's bs.

Literally this! I can't count the amount of time I seen someone dc because the got caught out in a deadzone with a bubba. Put the dcer's and suiciders in there own queue that will show'em what it's like on the other end.
So you never been guilty of trying a sabo build, flashlight build or treasure hunting build? Some survivor could be cleansing totems, doing tome challenges ya its annoying but can you really tell me you never did this before.
1 -
I have no interest in playing those builds. I am a aggressive player that prefers chases, and i want my team to not be useless. If they are then i die go next.
0 -
Don't do tome challenges? Besides if your in it for the chases what do you care about surviving. Seems kind of pointless to throw peoples games if your getting what you wanted.
1 -
Nope. I buy my tiers to 70.

Brilliant idea a system like GTA Online and many other games that pain bad sports together so you play with similar players to you and rewards good sport survivors by putting them together but BHVR doesn't like doing such changes sadly.
1 -
Admittedly some of the tome challenges basically do read: Throw the game. It's also true that stopping hook suicides is treating the symptom rather then the disease but the disease is a much harder beast to tame and is probably impossible in some cases.
It's not surprising some people get confused with 'They are being useless' with 'they are doing tome challenges' but if that's true why are they playing a TEAM based game? Team doesn't mean getting people on your level all the time. Granted again matchmaking could be better but that's part of the disease that's very hard if not impossible to treat.

Alright play with a dedicated group of players if your hell bent on playing the game in a competitive manner. Stop playing solo queue if you no interest in playing causally. This is an online multiplayer game you have no business playing it your only interested in satisfying your own experience at any cost. There are large number of games out there that have a focus on being competitive dbd is a casual game.
Alternatively play killer.

Again, I don't mind other people using whatever builds they want lol. I'm just not going to be forced to play a match I don't want to play in just because my team wants to meme.

You cant discover anything if you play the same conventional crap. Especially now when you have perks like overzealous where you are encouraged to not immediately hop on a gen. I'll never understand the obsession with wanting to escape in dbd. Your there for the chases right. The game win system even promotes scoring points over actually escaping with pips and bp encouraging a varied play experience. Doing gens and opening gates is not the be all end all of dbd. I wouldn't even rank them as worthwhile experiences.

Everyone plays the game for their own reasons though.

Ya and most online multiplayer games ban people out of there game if they choose to leave the game early. Its incredibly entitled to sit down play a game of dbd and decide nah this sucks I'm out the minute people decide to play using different tactics. Most games have a concede option which requires the entire team or majorities approval to end the game.
1 -
Don't start a match you're not ready to see through.
0 -
yeah... except it wouldn't. if someone doesn't want to play the game, trust me, they won't. they can just as easily run at the killer after being unhooked and refuse to do anything useful for the team. how do u stop that?
0 -
Doing that takes longer and it's more inconvenient thus survivors will do it less, now it's very common because it's fast and easy to do and it doesn't punish you with a timer like disconnecting does.
If they know that suiciding doesn't work anymore the majority will play the match instead.
0 -
If I can't give up on hook I'll just run at the killer or AFK. Play Uno on my phone until I'm out. Ppl who don't wanna play the game, won't. Whether it's inconvenient or not. I'm playing solo queue. If I'm doing all this work just to see the other survivors are doing nothing. Crouched up in a corner somewhere. Or it's a killer I genuinely hate going against (Legion, Nurse, etc.) Trust I'mma get outta that game one way or another.

Because it's easy to suicide you will do it game after game whenever you want but the other methods going afk or running to the killer will take you a lot more time, if your goal is just to go next game getting out of the game without suicide will stack up a lot. You will instead either DC and face the timer or play afk simulator and get reported.
Everyone is entitled in DBD it's annoying, if you're not ready to play as match don't because being selfish is running everyone's else game it's team based, 4 players are needed to finish 5 gens.
0 -
You can get reported for DC also, Lmao, and facing 15h penalty is not the way out u know
0 -
Quite frankly, i'd like to make it as difficult and grueling for you as humanly possible.
2 -
How about when 1 offs themselves and then two of the three left do NOTHING.
You should lose points for excessive hiding.
0 -
Address suicide on hook?
Doesn't it just become AFK under hook then?
Unless a survivor attempting escape (without Deliverance, Up the Ante, or Slippery Meat) immediately removes them from the match and replaces them with a bot, there's not much that will change
0 -
And nothing will change 🤷

I am ruining the game for everyone? 😂 out of 15 games in 10 I get absolute potatoes who hide in a corner, crouch and do jack #########.. If they loop they die in less than 30s and if they are not able to do a gen if I'm running the killer and rather hide why should I get punished for it? Why should I be force to stay in long game while no one is doing anything? It has nothing to do with hooks but with stupid MMR tracking escapes and kills only as viable "skill"
So unless that is fixed, you can not force ppl to stay in game.
0 -
Nope, but we'll waste your time a little bit more, and that's a nice improvement.
2 -
Improve soloq experience and players will stop doing that
crazy concept i know
