Win Streaks

Even if the hook state reaches 9, one kill is a defeat for the killer, and the hook state management tactics on the survivor's side should be praised. Survivors with skills to counter tunnels manage hook states very well.

That's not all. When we have survivors who have a good understanding of what is good and bad behavior in the game, the hook state is controlled by the survivor who takes the gen hostage and threatens to come after me. Therefore, among advanced players, the killer tunnel is basically considered a weak strategy. When the killer reaches a point where it's okay to tunnel, he can finally do it, but the survivors stand around to prevent him from doing so.

1 hooked survivor is chased, will move away from the area where other survivors are planning to complete the gen, making the killer less likely to pursue them. This is because if killer chase them there, you will lose the ability to stop the gen that has become free. Even if killer get add 1 hook, it will be too late.

Once survivors get to this level of tactics, no one will wear Calm Spirit or Distortion. These tend to bias the hook state in favor of the killer. Instead, a combination of Self Care and Botany has become popular, allowing patients to receive treatment in time for any situation, and sometimes, due to the flexibility of treatment, to abandon treatment and take the necessary action when time is short. This is because even if survivors are separated, they can be treated later. Of course all actions are for gen completion. This allows them to win and lose matches that many survivors believe are unwinnable. There is no reason to go out of their way to commit suicide.

One match as an example.

This is a video about how the perk Reassurance improved the situation, but the player talks about how to do his best without being tunneled from a situation where he got 2 hook states and had no choice but to avoid tunnels. At the same time, we are trying to increase the survivability of the entire team. Of course, other survivors behave similarly. As a result, the match went from almost being wiped out to one where the killer was forced into a corner.

The survivors in this match are at the top level, but you can tell by looking at each of the killer's actions that the killer is at a top level as well. Even if they are not at this top level, if the skills of both the killer and survivor are comparable, it is quite possible for the survivors to strive in the same way even in soloQ.

Also, pay attention to the results. The majority of survivors who can put on such a great match have the self care and botany perks. Why? Unlike people who commit suicide or DC as a matter of course, they have experienced these reversal matches many times. They know the effectiveness of it.

Most people who watch this video will probably end up thinking that the match was just a case of the survivor being good at chasing and killer being bad, and thinking it was a match that killer didn't go well. If you can't understand the details of what the survivors are doing to win, you won't understand that the tunnel is fundamentally weak.

Well, it's true that in the past, even in Asia, players who used self-care were thought to be lower players who couldn't collaborate with other survivors. I think that was fine at the time. In fact, there was a time when injured survivors could get away with it if they met other survivors and asked for treatment without panic.

Personally, I think the situation reached a turning point after Bright entered the war. He is extremely mobile and his ability to navigate the map is second to none, even compared to Nurse. The only exception is Wraith, which uses certain add-ons over and over again.

In any case, around this time, the risks for survivors of acting with increased significantly, and because treatment methods were too limited, accidents and situations in which they were left in the lurch by killers were increasing. What can we do to counter it? Will make it? After all, the situations where it can be used are too limited. The practicality of self-care has thus been reconsidered. At that time, the recovery time was still fast, and even if I had someone else treat me, it would be a sacrifice of time for both of us, so it was re-evaluated that it would be more reasonable to do self-care alone, considering the time and effort required to meet others.

But later, a self-care ice age hits. Recovery time has increased significantly. The survivors thought. I've come to the conclusion that it's time to ditch self-care and that from now on, if I really want to win, I need a medi-kit. For a while here, Self Care regained its name as lower Park.

After a while, the survivors reconsidered. In the end, there are an increasing number of cases where Medikits alone are not enough. I had to come up with a plan to properly counter the killer. After trying many different things, they realized that botany, which helps others recover quickly, is powerful, and self-care works minimally loss when combined with it.

Historically, this is why self-care is used in conjunction with botany.

Well, in a high MMR where only Blight and Nurse are always present, how many survivors can complete 5 gen against these two without getting knocked down while injured? If there were that many people, I don't think everyone would tweet about the two major killers as if they were a disaster on this forum.

And as I thought, you don't seem to be able to read the details in the video, so you probably don't know his skill from the location of Singularity's M2. So no more conversation can take place.
