Tattling Survivors
This is just a little rant session... I am usually open to survivor behavior nowadays since it's solo queue and it's a mess... but when I'm really good at hiding and a survivor points me out to the killer and the killer kills me and lets the other survivor escape is when it gets ridiculous... I did 3 gens with another survivor, just me and him, on my recent game and I didn't get hooked once because I'm just good at hiding, I'm not gonna just give myself up to the killer... and a Meg (it usually always is) pointed me out while I tried to save the last survivor (while she did nothing the whole round, ended with 9k points +7.5k from hatch) and the killer hooks me, and lets the Meg farm me for points. I give this specific instance (minus the farming part) because it has happened to me a few times these past few weeks and it's quite annoying. The killer's defense was "I can't make her unhook you"... that's all he had. I guess you can't be good at hiding nowadays or else you're gonna get pointed out guys, so be aware when you play solo queue survivor!

I used to be like this. Often times I’d manage to stealth or loop the Killer until they leave me, and my teammates would end up dead before I was hooked once. You just gotta accept that sometimes you’ll have to intentionally throw yourself at the Killer to give your team some breathing room. Your hook states are a resource, and if you don’t use them, you put your team at a disadvantage.

The survivor team as a whole has 3 * 4 = 12 hooks between them. If one survivor is playing extremely cautiously and the others are getting stuck out in chase and being found by the killer then you have 9 hook states to share between the three. If your entire team is on death hook and you have not been hooked once the expectation is you go try to get the killer to chase you to keep your team having the most efficient 4x actions compared to the killer.

Snitches get stitches - I kill the survivor who betrays for any reason.

Yes. Whether some people like it or not, hook states are a team resource. If a surv is at zero hooks while one or more of their team is dead, the killer was either a hardcore tunneler, or that surv played like a selfish ass. Which actually leads to a 4K more often than not, because having your whole team alive is a much better predictor of your own escape than you not having been hooked.
If you've not been hooked and your team is out there getting downed, go draw some aggro.
Plus you're shortchanging yourself on emblems and BP by avoiding killer interactions, so not even great if you're just looking out for yourself.

Agreed. I get that you wanna be stealthy all game but you're actually hurting your team by doing this. I'm not sure if you're the kind of team mate that unhooks a survivor then hides so if the killer comes back they chase the one that's unhooked. but the best you can do is try to show yourself to the killer if he comes back to the hook and if he's not in the mood for tunneling then he'll go for you instead.

Oh 100%. I don’t tolerate rats. But if you play overly cautious and get your team killed, then you can’t really be surprised when your teammates want a little revenge haha.

Generally agree, but if the game is at like 30 minutes and one surv has just been hiding, I'll take the assist. There's a limit when someone isn't even trying to play the game. It's not a hide and seek simulator.
You always know the ones; you rarely see them and they end the game with <10K points. I hate them as a teammate, and I hate them as a killer.

Being good at stealth is great and all, but sometimes you need to take one for the team.

I recently had a trial where I did gens with the same survivor for half the trial, the other half was spent healing them/unhooking the other survivors/taking out hex totems/avoiding the killer. I managed to escape the killer in chases and hid well enough they couldn't find me otherwise. At the end of the trial it was me and the other survivor left. They'd gotten downed and had already been double hooked, killer was proxy camping their body. That survivor crawled all the way to where I was hiding with the killer in tow, no matter where I moved. Ultimately the killer killed us both.
In the after trial chat they went off about me being the worst kind of survivor, doing nothing the whole trial (I'd gotten the second highest BPs in the trial, got enough emblem points across the board to +pip, iri 3 rank). The killer couldn't figure out either why the other survivor was ticked enough to do/say what they did. They thought it was funny what I'd pulled off plus only getting hooked at the very end, and only due to the salty survivor. The killer even defended me saying that's how you play survivor: get things done and don't get caught.
In trials where one of the survivors hides the whole match, I still wouldn't do that. It's the killer's job to find them and kill them. I'd crawl off somewhere to bleed out to prevent a kill credit or lead the killer to nowhere in particular.
In any group of people you'll have your 455h013s. Once I'm done developing my software that lets you punch someone in the throat over the internet, I think we'll see less of this.

To bad killers love ignoring me when I throw myself at them. They'll literally only chase me if I'm blocking their path or I'm conveniently vulnerable.

A classic tale of a killer not paying any mind to one survivor and the rest thinking that that one survivor is the problem. Nevermind the countless things in dbd that prevent you from helping: Lightborn, starstruck, infectious fright, chases being completely unpredictable, hooks being so close to one another, survivors actually not wanting help at all, chainsaws, killer instinct. Or nevermind that if the one person didn't do the gens the match was going to go nowhere.

Sometimes all three of my teammates are alternating chases and unhooks all game. Someone has to do gens and me having 0 hooks while all of them are on death hook doesn't mean I played badly.

Not going to lie, it sounds deserved. I do not like the hiding types either. It is not their fault the survivor ALSO disliked you. I guess you need to get better at hiding, from teammates as well.

Revenge? I can't rely on teammates who are too scared to unhook me because they are on dead hook :/

Okay, I'll get better at hiding, that means not going up to the hook to unhook people because the killer's gonna come right back. Does it sound deserved when I literally did 3 gens? No.

Exactly, you can't trust teammates are gonna unhook you anyway, they are too scared to do gens or unhook when they have been hooked twice already and just crouch around or hide in lockers.

Fair enough. Sometimes you get paired with a SWF that decides to trade unhooks and basically throw. Nothing you can do there unfortunately :(
