STOP UNHOOKING SURVIVORS WHO WANT TO LEAVE THE GAME!

In-depth detail explanation below.

So sick of this, I'm sick of having to deal with a penalty all because either my teammates don't do anything all game so the killer just always targets me for actually trying to do gens because no one else is working on one or the killer just somehow acts like I'm obsession(when I'm clearly not & rarely ever am) and want to tunnel me all game and the only reason why it's all game because I'm trying to go on a hook take myself out the game(die on the hook) because I'm not having fun so why be forced to play a game that I'm not having fun in which is also why I've been uninstalled this game and just recently got back into it so to continue I'm still in the game because of survivors keep on unhooking me when I'm clearly trying to get out of the game, I hate doing all that in a game like I'm the type of person that plays the game the way is meant to be played because if a game is fun you can just play it the way it's meant to be played So I'm not trying to do anything other than play the game the way it is meant to be played, that said the game forces you to try to get yourself killed and then put on a hook to #########, now a lot of killers see you once right into them and don't kill you and keep you in the game, even nodding their heads back and forth saying no, this has to be the most stupidest game mechanic I ever seen like this game isn't even ranked, it doesn't even have a rank mode yet we're forced a penalty no matter the circumstances?

Literally had a game yesterday where my whole team and I was being slugged to death, we were up against the alien from the alien movie series, one survivor already quit out the game within the first 60 seconds I don't know what happened but judging how I ended up getting slugged to death, it was probably some BS that made them leave. I was on a hook several times but had gotten saved by people clearly looking at me trying to kill myself like I don't understand the game, I don't understand the studio behind the game and I don't understand these goofy teammates that try to force you to play something you don't want to play, If you're playing basketball and you're wide open and nobody's passing you the ball would you keep standing there wide open or go do something else? Even if you're going to still play basketball at that point You're not going to play with those people so you would be leaving that game if you had any sense right? So what sense does it make to play video games that you're not having fun but to still force people to play those games that they're not having fun? Sorriest game mechanic ever, tou block people, you report people, nothing changes anything. They have got to be the worst dev studio on the planet and that saying something with companies lik Activision with call of duty out there or Ubisoft with XDefiant, that game has delayed for like a year to fix netcode, had a beta with nothing was fixed, season 1 came around the game was horrible was even worse than the beta, 2 and a half seasons in and a half seasons in and the netcode even worse then it was in season 1 and the game is now sluggish and it's a fast paced PvP so that makes it extremely frustrating as well as extremely horrible but guess what? Still more fun then this goofy bs, You're having a problem with the game, whether it's people using a overpowered gun or overpowered team whatever you can leave out the game no question no penalty.

I just don't understand people these days. People want easy wins yet the best way to win is to just divide and conquer and gen rush, played against a OP killer and gen rushed tf outta him yesterday(the one team that did gens) like if it doesn't work and you keep doing it over and over again that is just insanity, like you're not going to escape allowing only one person to do gens which mean only one gen is getting worked on so the killer follows the one gen that they hear, resulting in the only one doing gens getting taken out quickly, If you go to the game store to see the reviews on this game, it's always negative stuff about this game, so much camping and tunneling. Funny thing is I'm rarely ever the obsession but basically every game the way how I'm tunneled as well as can't you would think I'm the obsession.

As far as The game that I mentioned previously where I was getting slugged to death I had a full bar I wasn't going to wait that, then the teammates went out of their way to constantly keep unhooking me when the killer tried to kill me before then the killer just started slugging everybody and not hanging anybody on hooks. I had the most patience I ever had I waited about 10 minutes after I got unhooked and finally gave up and said F this I'm out.

First game on today, moments ago which triggered this post, me and three people work on a gen, I see the glow of Michael watching them from around the corner so I take off running, Dwight is the one that Michael sees so he goes after him, I'm running away from the scene, I already been running away from the scene technically so I have some distance but yet I keep hearing his music so next thing I know I see the glow and he's behind me So he gives up the white who is the obsession to come after me for what? When I already distance myself from that whole entire thing so he went out of his way to get me, why? When he had everybody buy the gen that he could have easily slugged because he got to tier 3, He could have potentially had two or three hooks right there but when are his way to get me? I just don't get it when I finally get games when people do gens the killer just singles me out even early in game so it's impossible for me to have done anything other than a one thing that pretty much my other teammates are doing so why am I getting tunnelled. I play all types of survivors from Thalita to Meg, Kate, Yui, Mikayla and Zarina So it's not like I played one person, I do know that killers always go after Megs or Dwight's but that's not even the case in my games, I chalked it up to just being unlucky to be honest. I never have luck when it comes to PvPs whether it's teammates or killers. Even my apex days I will always have the worst teammates that didn't want to listen to anything I say even after giving them everything they wanted as well as saving them numerous times and being the kill leader.

Another thing I'm sick of is all PVPs being the same type of boring/toxic/fustrating, I play XDefiant a fast paced PvP, everybody uses the same OP bs, same thing here, every killer runs the same perks, exposed, the gen locking perk, some stealth killer and either some killer that can one shot you, or long distance attacks, there's no cool downs or anything yet sprint burst is for a measly 3 seconds in a game where the killer walks faster than you run as well as crows give away your every move every 2 seconds, You're a scratch marks are shown, you leave blood trails, you make a bunch of noise, like how many crutches do killers need have stealth as well as the same hex totems. You get exhausted for 60 seconds with Sprint burst only lasts for 3 seconds like what, then you got other perks that are very good so they get to be used only one time per trial meanwhile Killers can spam the hell out of all these OP things, even the perk that locks the exit gate for a whole 3 minutes or gens, like that's the one thing we have to come back these killers like this dev team can't make a balanced game if it fell into their laps and gave them credit for it. Had a whole 5-minute penalty I had to wait then a 15 minute penalty all because Michael wants to tunnel me when I'm not even obsession smfh.

Last but not least three things that will change this game drastically is to 1 add game chat, 2 take away penalties, just add bots, If they want penalties have it in ranked mode. Actually give penalties to people that can't and things like that like they can tell if a killer is literally in front of a hook because after all you get a meter for it now well there should be a thing where if a killer stands in front of someone for more than five or so seconds they should automatically get a penalty otherwise the exhausted status when you unhook someone should get buffed, I hate leaving people on the hook all because of a killer who's face camping when that survivor actually was vital to our escape. Instead of face camping why not just go to one of the exit gates and try to take down another survivor, The way this game is it kind of makes the killer camp when they're about to lose So if you're the last person that goes down when the exit gates get open yeah good luck to you. I'm really hoping someone takes this formula but make it 10 times better with game chat as well as no penalties like I would take the BS in this game if I can just leave out from any game I might having fun like who has time to waste on the video game that not having fun, not only that people have real lives so they have to leave So giving people penalties is ridiculous

    Lately its been odd like if we at 4 to 5 gens and its only 2 of us and am caught idk why the person dont let me go and try for hatch.

    I mean I appreciate it but am not going to be mad if its 2 of us only and I got caught. I only get mad if all of us is alive and your not doing nothing and letting everyone else die while you seek hatch.

    In my experience, people really don't like to be yelled at in the endgame chat, in the case of someone is mad that they didn't save them

    I'll let most go if I understand why they're doing it. If the game is clearly over, I'll let them go. If they've done the hard work and no one else is doing anything then I'll let them go (yesterday I had a team mate run the killer for awhile at the start of the game, to the point where I got a gen done on my own. The other 2 survivors didn't touch a single thing. Not a gen or totem or anything. So yeah, I let the chased survivor let go on hook). If they get downed really quickly though and start to let go then nah, I'll unhook them lol I'll even take aggro for them if the killer comes back. You had a bad start, that's okay.

    It's pretty situational to be honest.

    There are certainly times where it's better to just go next but that's only like; 5 gens, your hooked, 2 bots and the other person is slugged. Yeah, GG go next.

    The people who let go right at start, no. I will bum rush to save you and better yet if the killer just slugs them when they give up right after. I also don't get the people who let go on first hook when the match is 50/50 or even survivor favored, like why?

    One of the nice things about the upcoming Shoulder The Burden is that now you could combine that with Reassurance twice.

    But that is forcing people to be in a SWF and that's something that a lot don't want. So if you're playing soloq for achievements that isn't fair to the rest of your time trying for a win.

    Not every survivor is part of a SWF and soloq is actually bigger than SWF play, so for you to go in and ruin it is just selfish.

  • Unequalmitten86

    I think DC's should actually be looked at harder. Does a certain player as killer have a lot, why are people doing it. Were they slugged etc. I mean if you actually get those answers you will see what the problem is.

    Yes I do realize survivors have tantrums too.

    Maybe but if every solo player didn't do challenges then it would be forcing them to be in a swf which like you said, many people don't want. Part of being solo is you go in as a solo player, you have the choice to work as a team or work solo (which is why so many people hide for the hatch). You might be lucky and get 3 others that want to work as a team, but if you want to exclusively play as part of a like minded team then ye swf is you best bet.

    Sorry, no can do. If the result of the match is still in doubt (at all) and I see you trying to self-sacrifice, you're coming off that hook. You're obviously not respecting your teammates, so I am not going to respect your wishes there. And you're not entitled to a free pass, if you want out that badly, eat your penalty and leave the team a bot.

    I'm not really sure why this is so hard for people to wrap their brains around - all kinds of crap happens in game, we all know it, and if you're not prepared to play the hand you're dealt, don't queue up. Don't. Do. It.

    Play something else (preferably single player) and stop acting like your time is so much more valuable than everyone else's.

    And everyone has at some point been the reason someone else wanted to bail on a match. We all should remember that when considering bailing.

    As a survivior I will definitely unhook you, give you chance to reconsider ruining the match for others.

    As a killer I will let surviviors unhook you, waste your time and never let you win.
    Your teammates will escape because you trolled tho.

    personally I say the game is already ruined. I’m not agreeing with OP at all but unless you just want the unhook points, your game is already done when someone tries to go next on hook. You can unhook them and they’re just gonna stand there AFK and wait for killer or run at the killer. You’re not saving your game and making it any less ruined because you’re not gonna force someone to participate in a game they’ve already given up on.

    I'm going to get the unhook points as it's the only useful things survivors rage quitting are worth.

    these are the people us killer mains should slug. You want to make everyone else have a bad game you can wait 5 minutes or DC and wait 15.

    It makes survivors lose almost 100% of the time and makes killers bored cause there isn’t anything fun about winning without any struggle.

    It’s frustrating when someone wants to leave the match early, whether I’m playing as the killer or the survivor. However, it is what it is—I’ll just let them go. They’re not going to play the game normally anyway, and I refuse to stoop to their level and be toxic in return.

    I highly agree with this. There are certain instances when tunneling and slugging are indeed a need and a must. I do understand it being in the game but when you go in at 5 gens to slug for no reason it's ridiculous. Also slug and seek because your that desperate for the 4K.

    yea the 5 gen slug is pointless. There isn’t a fun reason to do so unless they are very toxic and try to sandbag the others.

    but this is a cause we should strive to bleed out. Don’t hook the DOH people

    Michael wants to tunnel me when I'm not even obsession smfh.

    Michael Myers perks:

    • Save the Best for Last: "Whenever you hit a Survivor other than your Obsession with a Basic Attack, Save the Best for Last gains +1 Token… Whenever you hit your Obsession with a Basic or Special Attack, Save the Best for Last loses -2 Tokens."
    • Play With Your Food: "Each time you chase your Obsession and let them escape, Play with Your Food gains +1 Token… Performing Basic Attacks, or Special Attacks that can damage Survivors, consumes -1 Token."
    • Dying Light: "Each time you hook a Survivor other than your Obsession, you gain +1 Token"

    I would expect Myers to be using at least one of his own perks, in which case he will often avoid hitting his obsession because it negatively affects him.

    Perform an experiment and try equipping Plot Twist. If the killer sees you put yourself on the ground, they usually hook you rather than let you pick yourself up. It should be less likely you'll be left slugged.

    Really, though, leaving the game should not be a regular thing. If you find yourself wanting to leave a lot of matches, that suggests you are the one with the problem and you should play a different game.

    The current game might be lost, but at least I can delay the griefer from doing the exact same thing in their next game. I’m sparing 4 other people who want to play from having to deal with selfish pricks that suicide at the first inconvenience. You’re welcome.

    You're playing a multiplayer game with no catch up mechanics after a snowball. I absolutely will unhook quitters every single time i can and its that utterly selfish mentality early on in a game that already has a single player mode that's frustrating.


    Just que as killer, que as a stack of friends or take a break. i really don't get why players like this keep doing the same thing they clearly don't even enjoy anymore and you ruin the matches for 3-4 other players making something utterly lopsided and miserable.

    All the more reason to unhook them. They want to ruin the game, they certainly shouldn't be rewarded with a quick escape.

    It's called Karma. They deserve to kept in the game as long as possible, if for no other reason than the community expressing their voice that their behaviour is unacceptable... and to be frank there is simply catharsis inconveniencing this player a fraction of the amount they annoy everyone else.

    That's why I run toward killer if someone unhooks me to cancel the safe unhook challenge if I'm the only one to try to play.
    Sorry but not sorry, the point of the game is try to survive not being stuck in the game when I 'm the only one to play and 3 ppl who did challenge like " did 3 safe unhook and I can suicide and go next challenge"

    I am not reading all that but I will say I can totally understand if you have a DC or someone goes next at 5 gens, it is reasonable to want to move on, as a 3v1 at 5 gens is pretty much a lost cause and a waste of time unless the killer is absolutely useless.

    It does frustrate me when team mates unhook me when the match is clearly over, it just wastes my time and keeps me in a pointless match
