Rage Quit
Just got a message from a killer after I quit a game. Yes. I admit I quit one early. Let me tell you why though.
Within seconds after starting a match I was taken down and hung. No problem. That happens. Almost immediately after being hung another survivor runs up and takes me off the hook. Killer was standing right there.
Killer immediately hits and hangs me again.
The exact same survivor starts running towards me to remove me from hook again. I quit before they had a chance. I was not going to give them the opportunity to get points for removing me from the hook when I was just going to get hit and hung again immediately. I would have literally been hung for a third time without getting a single point.
So..... if you are a playing as a survivor and you take other survivors off the hook while the killer is right there you are selfish and I personally will NEVER give you the opportunity to remove me from a hook because you want cheap easy points. If you are playing as a killer how about going after the survivors that are playing in such a selfish manner instead of rewarding their selfish behavior?
We all want to play this game and have it be fun. Those that play it that selfishly ruin it for all of us. So when you play as a killer I implore you to do as I do. When you see a survivor doing what is described above you should tunnel them. Make them regret it.

Sometimes rage quitting is justified. I pretty much only rage quit for this and lag switchers. More then likely though it's bad survivors farming for points.

My greatest fear when going for saves is accidently farming someone. It always feels bad. :(

Don't get me wrong. I have unintentionally pulled someone off a hook when the killer is close by and invisible or something like that. Those are not the instances I am talking about. The instances I am referring to are like the one tonight. The killer was standing right beside the hook and fully visible. This person still ran up and pulled me off the hook and was going to repeat the scenario again.
I couldn't care less that any killer is upset when I quit in that circumstance. If you are playing killer and you are going to reward the survivors that are playing selfishly and preventing the game from being fun for others I am more than happy to keep you from getting points for hitting, hanging and killing me also.

Killer didn't do anything wrong. Is he supposed to let you go? You are the easier target, but I get it, it sucks.

Disconnects are tracked. If enough people farm you which resulted in you quitting, you might end up being the one who gets punished.
Your best course of action might be to let them farm you, so you avoid getting punished

I won't say this is a situation where there is a right or wrong. I will say this is situation where a killer has a choice. They can take the easy road. That's their prerogative. However, I also get to make a choice. I get the choice of how I respond to a selfish survivor and how I respond to a killer that rewards them for that behavior. I get to decide whether or not I have any respect whatsoever for how they play the game. I'm sure you can tell that my level of respect for either is absolutely zero.
And for the record...... in that situation I don't think anyone that quits has done anything wrong.

No, but the stats don't describe the context of quitting, so there is no concept of who's right or wrong; only who quit.
And enough quit stats would lead to punishment

Run DS, problem solved.

Colgate.... First I want to clarify that my comment before this one was not directed to you, but the one before it. I do understand what you are saying and that is always a consideration. Fortunately it doesn't happen often so I am not in any danger of garnering negative repercussions. If my complaint was the norm I would simply stop playing the game as it wouldn't be any fun. My point with this post is to say if you are going to play as a killer and going to reward the selfish survivors whose actions prevent the game from being fun for others you may as well not message me about quitting because I don't care in the least.

You get points for being near killer and time in game if that addition went live.
Even 100 BP is more than 0. Plus...you quit. You were dead in the next few seconds...and couldnt wait those few seconds?
Come on. You're better than that.

I've been playing the game long enough that I rarely need DS, and I refuse to utilize it because I occasionally run across extraordinarily selfish survivors and killers that reward them.
0 -
I get that. It's not about the few points I would get in that situation. It's about refusing to reward the selfish survivors and the killers that reward them. It's a sacrifice I am more than happy to make.

Well sorry about your luck with dealing with poor survivors, but they have changed the scoring so farming other survivors doesn't get you many points or chance of pipping. Yes they will get unhook points, but unless they get the safe unhook bonus they loose out on points and are penalized after the game when then emblem page appears. So its not like how it used to be before the patch was installed. Though it does suck putting your life in the hands of the randoms who could potentially end your life prematurely

Run DS and insta heal

That's why i equip BT.
But I too hate it when other survivors unhook me (without BT) when the killer is standing right there. They're making life difficult for themselves in the long run of the match.

I completely disagree that this should happen considering the killer is just being lazy af taking that route and it makes him look pathetic to and why is it ok to punish players who dc but they think its ok for killers to camp and only go for the easiest target. All these people complain about how survivors are toxic and are always teabagging at the exit gates and that the killers need to be buffed cause their to under powered in the game yet they fail to realize that there are PLENTY of big name players who have gotten 4ks even before buffs or nerfs which means they are just to lazy to work for their true rank in the game. So if your gonna punish one side you best make sure you punish the other side

In those moments when you unhook someone, just to notice a stealthy killer was closer than you expected... Be prepared to take a hit if need be.

Basically, the most recent I remember, I had Spine Chill on and it wasn't activating, so I unhooked a Meg with a Feng Min, and while we were running IN THE FRONT to protect her, a Billy downed her form behind. How much effort do you have to go through to tunnel someone?!
1 -
Never leave home without DS.

LOL
Camping and "going for the easiest target" are not punishable.
Sorry, but your made up rules don't mean anything to anyone.

You're missing a big point...*cough* easy kill *cough*

I would still report you for the DC, but i also would of focused on the bad survivor as well so we'd never be in that exact situation. In a ideal world yes killers should punish bad survivors but you got to ask yourself why would the killer punish someone for making the game easier for them?
2 -
If you want to Phase 2 I assume you mean you just let go which is technically not a DC?
0 -
I always take the hit if the killer is near when I unhook someone. Never understood people who unhook and dissapear. Probably selfishness but if your teammate is removed early you will suffer as well. Think about that a little.

Did anyone lose a Survivor Rulebook with an "Entitled to DC Pass" that was being used as a bookmark?

Id say the first time it happened, the correct choice from the killer shouldve been to slug the person who was on the hook if they werent close enough to grab. This gives you the same pressure as a hook while opening you up to immediately chasing the "rescuer" which means ANOTHER person who is occupied. This also frees you up from getting hit by a possible DS. Im saying this not as a person being NICE, but as a killer being smart.
If someone is on deathhook though and youve downed em...The best choice would probably be to just kill em immediately before trying to track down the guy who "rescued", unless your still suspecting a DS.

On a different note, what's best to do if I get an important phone call say during game? Guessing just AFK than quitting? So to avoid DC stats and deflect some of killers time?
Happened other day so on autopilot I just DC'd so after the call I did message other players to apologise
0 -
A manual DC is okay in my book for a game-breaking bug preventing the game from finishing, game being held hostage (actual hostage, like body blocking someone in a corner with no intention of doing anything else) with no end seemingly in sight, or actually having to leave the game due to an IRL circumstance/emergency/etc. Anything else gets a thumbs down from me.
0 -
I use to do that when I first started playing. If your gonna unhook right infront of me, ill get the easy hook... Ive gotten alot better though and gotten away from habits that newbie killers fall into. Ppl often times fail to properly apply pressure and then blame genrush.
0 -
You can't blame the killer if another survivor is going to serve the killer a kill on a sliver platter.
0 -
I personally am gonna start ragequitting more and more when I get 4-5 minute games. I refuse to give survivors a victory for doing hardly anything but holding m1 and running in circles.
1 -
Then you'll get banned.
0 -
Maybe when dedicated servers kick in, until then I'm safe lol. Besides how can they punish people for ragequitting without doing something about what makes people ragequit?Maybe, oh, idk, give survivors a secondary objective so gens don't get done in 4 minutes, so that killers don't feel the need to immediately remove a survivor from the game to have any sort of fun? That way you'll reduce the amount of tunneling.
0 -
If you're not satisfied with how the game works, stop playing.
It does not give you care blanche to rage quit.
1 -
Do you tell that to anyone who suggests any change to this survivor biased game? If that's the case, this game would die if everyone listened to you. You pretend like the issues I stated aren't making the game unbearable for killers.
1 -
You're not making a suggestion you're spitting your dummy out. Learn to counter looping, learn to patrol gens, instead of saying you're going to to just quit a game because someone is better then you.
1 -
Wow yeah I was SO outskilled by that guy who ran circles and held m1. What an amazing display of skill. But I think I'm done arguing with you simply because of the whole survivor biased argument of "lulmeu just patrol gens".
1 -
I tell that to everyone that advocates for DC'ing, yes.
I didn't mention anything about your points being non-issues, but it's rather cute that you'd promote DC'ing as killer (intentionally removing 5 active players simultaneously) while simultaneously stating that "the game would die if everyone listened to [me]."
I'll reiterate my point - If you're not happy playing, don't. As an added bonus, not a single player will miss someone that intentionally ruins a match for the full lobby, and the community will be better for it.
1 -
I'm a switch so i play both sides, if someone is going to play a stealth killer but spend 4 generators chasing me around am i the unskilled one or are they? I've had to learn to counter looping just like any other killer main who's decent at the game.
0 -
Looping can't be directly countered if the survivor is optimal, end of story. Also stealth killers get looped like any other, which is why the most viable killers are the loudest ones.
0 -
My point was a stealth killer should be using stealth not chasing a single person around the map. The nurse is great at making looping pointless and all the survivors want to cry about it because they don't want to learn to play differently. Learn which loops to ignore and make survivors waste pallets. they're either going to drop it on you because they can't resist or get hit trying to save it.
0 -
Watch out entitled survivor main here lol wow it's ok "Big name players" can get 4ks without buffs what are you smoking? The garbage I see in your comment is your comment . There is no rule book just the rules made by devs not survivors
0 -
But you didnt screw them out of anything. One unhook? Like. If the killer is gonna farm, or even if not, having someone DC is a good way to get the killer to do the opposite, and feel bad for them, and THEN let them farm more.
You played right into it.

I haven't played much this year. I tried playing today. First game, Hillbilly stood in front of me after one chase. Second game, lasted about a hour. Killer wouldn't hook people, only defending gens. I actually couldn't handle it anymore, I left.
0 -
When this happens to me and I'm killer. I will down the unhooked if easily done while attacking the unhooking Survivor. However, I wouldn't rehook you right away I would go after the unhooking survivor. If your teammates want to get off gens to pick you up I'm ok with that. That is how that situation plays out when I'm killer
2 -
When killers do this it is super scummy and ######### way to play. I won't play this way, but a lot of killers do. But that makes the survivors decision to farm without bt even more egregious. People, Treat people the way you would want to be treated! and more ppl will treat each other nicer. Be nice to one another and this game would be so much more fun. See you on the Fog

No reason to DC to ever DC just die on the hook
0 -
How often does this actually happen. I have been playing for a year and Never dc'ed
0 -
People DC a lot, apparently. I myself have only ever DC'd twice.
Once because I briefly had a power surge in my house that caused the console to power down, and once because of a freak bug that basically made the game impossible to end and caused me to be trapped in the trial until I DC'd.
0 -
How is this handled, though? Is it 'dced a certain amount of times in a row?' 'Dced a certain amount of times a day, week, month?' As it goes, I'd figure I would see a wave of 'I was temp banned for no reason' threads if people were punished for dcing, but I still get at least one to two people rage quitting at least every other game, so it can't be that stiff a punishment, if people are punished at all.
