Do You Spectate In SoloQ?
After you die, do you spectate or just move on to the next match?
I personally am trying to stick around as I'm hoping to see how others play but it's tough knowing that I'm also not in my next trial earning BP and XP

Only if my team did very well or i want to know the killers build.
Most of the time i just go next as i can't see the endgame chat on console (thank god).

Yeah, I guess missing out on the chat is a plus for me as a Nintendo Switch player.

Usually, no. I die & just move on.
The rare times I do spectate, its because I want to watch someone or more of my teammates die, because of how they played. Like there's 1 gen left, hovering around 70-80% and you're busy opening up a chest in the basement & not helping your team.
Or when you get into a chase w/ the killer after your teammates have snowballed the match for the killer, it lasts 2-3 minutes and your teammates only start doing a gen after you go down.
The amount of players that have absolutely 0 situational awareness astounds me in this game. And ofc, they only get on the gens AFTER the match has gone to hell and everyone's starting to die.

Usually no. If the game is almost over I'll stay to say GG and see the killer's build and add-ons if I'm interested, but otherwise I'm on to the next match.

If I'm second to last to die, I'll stick around to see if the final person got hatch / gate or if the Killer let them go. Makes the effort feel worthwhile if somebody manages to escape. Most of the time the Killer goes for the 4K, though.
But if I'm tunnelled out early, then I don't bother to stay unless there's a good looper to watch (and in my games, there almost always isn't).
I also might stay to see if the last Survivor who hid after being on death hook and didn't touch a gen for the rest of the match gets what they deserve.

If I kill myself on hook so the last survivor can try to get hatch I'll spectate, hopefully didn't die in vain. If it's a Steve I'll always spectate.

Rarely. SoloQ is difficult these days and while there are some great loopers out there I can learn from, it is easier to just go-next.
As a killer it can be surprising to see that those dying first can stick around only to add some negative remarks in the endgame chat. This is funny when no tunneling / camping was involved and the person went down pretty early in the game.

Only if I really want the team to die 😅
If it's almost the end, I'll sometimes stick around just to see if my team survives but usually I won't watch a match with more than a few minutes left in it unless I really want the killer to take them out (generally because they either sandbagged, they screwed me over somehow, or they played Hide and Seek the entire time and never touched a generator).

Move on. I might watch on the rare occasion when it's the useless team mate left and I want to cheer the killer on 🤣

What does sandbagged mean in the context you're using it? Is that the same as teabagging? I'm not familiar with all the DBD lingo yet lol

That would be like dropping a pallet on someone so that the killer hits them instead of you

I've never seen anything like that before. So pallets can hit a Survivor?
I've personally dropped pallets when a Survivor is in the dying state underneath one when the killer picks them up because it saves them, I stun the killer and they drop the dying Survivor.

It's basically screwing over your fellow survivor for you to get away. Like the pallet example, it's not hitting the survivor but they throw it down while you're there, you can't slide across it right away so the killer can get a free hit on you.
There are various ways to sandbag someone but it almost always results in them trying to pawn the killer off of them onto you instead.

Sandbagging traditionally comes from different sources but one of the popular uses stemmed from horse races. Jockeys would fill their horse’s saddlebags with sandbags to weigh them down so that the horse ran slower to qualify for easier races. Then when they were in the desired race class the horse and jockey would over perform.
Today it typically means holding back/weighing down performance whether for yourself, your team, or both.

I tend to spectate the rest of the match even if I am the first one out. I really enjoy seeing a match through to its end.

I stick around bc I need the killer's perk data and the final kill count to keep track of my stats properly, but if I wasn't doing that I wouldn't stick around, no.

if I want to know the killer's build, otherwise no. got other things to do.
