Snitching on last survivor

Just wondering what are your thoughts and why would the 2nd last survivor that gets down loves to snitch on the last survivor when a killer tries to secure 4 kills (excluding those when the last survivor does nothing the whole game or sabotaging own teammates)?

    because this community is filled with whiny babies who would rather sabotage a game than play it normally or accept that they lose.

    they often hope you'll abandon them and go for the other guy instead. I always just double down on the survs who try to ruin the other team mates games when this happens.

    Never in my games have i ever ratted out my teammate when i get slugged and let go. I just go straight to gens until they put me on hook. Dont understand why ppl snitch as that is bannable.

    I had a game just yesterday when a knight hard tunneled one out then camped a 3 gen with eruption etc. The nea tried to rat me but i was hiding in snowmen so she couldnt see my aura when downed then let go. But eventually she did rat me out but saved me when hooked. Knight didnt like that and hooked her. Luckily i did get hatch tho. Worse 40 minute match of my life.

    snitching is okay if the other survivor isn't playing the game normally. if they're just hiding then they're basically waiting for the other survivor to die. so at that point it really is survivor vs survivor.

    Probably to finally get the game over with. Personally unless the other survivor played stealthily all match (aka they haven't been hooked once and spent the entire match not taking aggro) I won't work with the killer to snitch out the other survivor. Never understood what people expect the other survivor to do when the killer is camping a slugged survivor to bait the other one out. Either hook me and take the chance for hatch, or spend 30 minutes trying to find the other survivor and secure your 4k.

    Maybe they just wanted to move on to the next match? Sometimes those standoffs when there's two survivors left can really drag on.

    I'll always crawl.... to somewhere my teammate is not.

    Or have the killer follow me to funny places like making him go up and down on tractor, visit Father Campbell's Chapel, bait them to check bushes or empty lockers.

    Working with killer when you're slugged is just plain unsportsmanlike in my opinion.

    Keep in mind that if they report you with evidence, you can get a 24 hr ban based on their updated strict penalty.

    I am back to playing killer for the most part against, and this rarely happens to me except when the person who gets ratted out has not been chased or hooked once. For me and how I feel about this game, that's an absolute travesty and I will chase the person who gets ratted out. At that point I can only assume they were not actually playing and were looking to get hatch from the beginning. Maybe this is a common thing for other people though, this is 1 in 50 games for me personally.

    Uh I'm pretty sure that helping killer out as survivor is a reportable, bannable offense. Working with the other team.

    I mean if said survivor has spent the entire game locker hopping, staying away from unhooks, not doing gens and is just being willfully useless. Then I personally have no issue with someone throwing them under the proverbial bus if killer might spare them. I wouldnt do it myself, but regardless of the context, according to BHVR it is against the rules.

    Someone did this for me as Demo once, a laurie pointed at a locker and inside I found an injured meg. Turns out it was her last hook and I sacrificed her. At the end of the game laurie was looking for hatch, we both saw it at the same time and I stopped and gave her the nod to let her go. In retrospect I should've downed her by the locker, checked it and then let the meg go. It was a pretty dick move of her to point put that meg, as I had no idea she was there.

    Love that it's Okey to snitch on a survivor if he "didn't tokk aggro" im a terrible terrible looper if I take the aggro I hold it for like 5 sec I'm better of hiding cause that's what I am good at

    Their ego will not allow them to die with grace, so theyd rather have you die with them so nobody wins on the survivor side.

    They may believe that they are more worthy, even if they're just selfish rats scrounging around looking for food.

    If im in the situation I just sit on a gen until the killer finds and downs me, I dont have it in me to put up a fight with how easy slugging for the 4k truly is if theres more than one gen left to complete

    How exactly is locker jockeying for 4+ minutes not selfish? TBH when there are only two left I try to hold the killer's attention and have a long chase, try to fill up my boldness, and hope at least 1 gen pops during that time. If its been a few minutes or I've gone through a good number of pallets and zero gen progress is made, I don't see any issue with that person getting ratted out. If they're on death hook or something thats one thing, but more often than not its the ones who don't even have a single hook state. They've already been teaming with the killer by refusing to participate at that point and I'm not going to purposely avoid them, so if they're where the last pallets are, tough luck.

    I'd rather us both die than reward someone for refusing to play and hoping I die quickly at that point. The hatch is a pity mechanic as it is, it should at least be earned not randomly granted to the ones who deserve it least.

    It doesn't matter what the forum 'thinks' this is called working with the killer, reportable cheating, and if reported properly results in bans. If you encoutner this in game, you click the report button that indicates working with the killer on the survivor that did this. Record a video of your gameplay. It is especially useful if you had a friend in the match or if you are already dead and are watching from the survivor's point of view. Post it to youtube, I usually do unlisted. Go to the BHVR website to submit more information about a report and put in a ticket with your video information.

    It can take an hour to do, but in my opinion it is well worth it to rid ourselves of cheating scum.

    In the case of the other player not doing anything, this is even easier to solve. Why risk cheating just to punish them? Is it your job (do you work at BHVR) to punish cheaters? ABSOLUTELY NOT! A better question here is how do you know they were doing nothing? Were you running around, doing nothing, monitoring the other survivors? Do your part, live or die, and move on. If you give in to cheating you deserve the ban that you will get, because it isn't your place to enforce the rules. Don't become cheating scum. A defense of, "Well the other guy was breaking the rules," is no defense for cheating.

    I am just curious about this entitled players mindset. I have been snitched and seen people snitching before. I just don't understand. I don't get why killers are always desperate for the 4K (I always find it a waste of time when I play as killer), I find it as distasteful as tunneling. But I find snitchers more braindead and distasteful than the killer themselves. Like why would you give a desperate killer his 4K, just let him suffer for his choice of wanting to drag the game.

    I have played games where the survivor will snitch on me and then blame it on all survivors except himself for playing it ######### and he is the only one doing gen. I died and still ended up with more bloodpoints than snitchers (them having the escape ponts) most of the time after getting snitched.

    I have been on the slugged position before and when a killer does this I would wiggle out and extend the chases repeatedly till either I bleed out or killed to punish him for wasting time.

    On one hand, working with the killer is against the rules. On the other hand, so is the other survivor hiding and not repairing.

    I only snitch as a survivor, if the other one has been just hiding and not doing gens during the game (I.E. uses only Urban Evasion to move around map etc...), trolls, baits killer towards others, is a feeder...

    But usually, when I play survivor, If I'm on my second hook and there is only one survivor besides me, I just kill myself on hook and let the last one try to find the hatch.

    I personally try to crawl away on some corner of the map if I'm being slugged. If I've being sacrificed I just miss the skillchecks to hasten my death. I don't think I've intentionally turned on a teammate although many times there have been teammates who have been selfish from the beginning of the game. So yeah, in that cases if sucks to see them escape or even been gifted hatch/exit gate by killer.

    For those snitching when you have pulled your weight, I attribute these people to just trolls. Some people who play the game both killer and survivor are just mean-spirited and childish. These are the people that think its funny to block people in corners, and stand in the exit gate for the full two minutes teabagging even though they did jack diddly the entire game. I had a David a week ago, trying to assist a Myers in tombstoning me by blocking lockers. Now, how they ended up as pals I can't be sure but I suspect he could no longer stalk David, as he fed him half the game. When asked what he thought he was doing after the game he said he 'thought it was funny.'

    Now in the case of the downed survivor, most 'snitching' is probably done because they expect you to pick them up off the ground or at least try. These same people will tap out every skillcheck on death hook with 4 gens up and two teammates dead.

    It’s a poor personality trait but if the person being ratted out did nothing but hide during the match that could be a part of the issue.
