I've seen some idiocy in my time.

cleansing a totem instead of being healed

hiding in a cupboard next to a generator that just blew

waiting at the exit just to get stabbed

    David left me on the hook for a chest while the other survivor was getting chased by the killer.

    Bought No Mither.

    Hex:Ruin was in the shrine at the time I bought No Mither.

    Regretted it deeply.

    I don't even know HOW I thought it was a good idea.

    Few weeks ago:

    I managed to get hooked in the Basement by a Billy. A Bill came down to get me... And he did not unhook me. He waited until Billy was back at the Shack and was down with us, so he ran away, so I reached the second state. He even had Borrowed and I had DS...


    And, two days ago:

    Played SWF with my friend (the other Red Rank), and while I was hooked in the Basement (I see a pattern), my friend (injured) was not able to get me, because Ghostface was camping above (with 5 Gens to go, but well..).. And I did not see any of the other Survivors.

    Turns out: They were in a locker the whole time. Both of them. They did not participate in the game at all, it was a 2v1. The guy who died only got so much points because he got off the Hook by a Kobe. Jeff (who escaped) got around 13k Points, but 5000 are for the escape, 2500 for Hatch Escape and also quite a good amount for opening the Hatch. After asking why they play like this "Tactic"...

    I still think that Left Behind is ok and not a problematic Perk, but that was really annoying.

    A Jake was running away from me after I unhooked him cause I was trying to heal him. He went through a pallet and instead of healing for a split second I threw the pallet down (Not god pallet, but I'm pretty sure he threw that one down). I was mad, but he let me heal him after a bit of running away when the killer wasn't near

    Gen on 95% with me and a Jake working on it. The bubba gets close but I decide to commit since 2 people will get the gen done faster. This idiot Jake decides to run away from the gen and never touches it again. The team ended up doing a different gen and they all let me die in the basement on my first hook even though I saved all of them multiple times. The bubba was sort of proxying the basement by walking around but not a single teammate of mine even attempted to save me.

    By the way, these were all red ranks.

    Waiting at the gate for a hit is usually a respect or pity thing. Besides, it helps survivors keep their rank down and let's the killers get ritual progress if they failed all game.

    Back when Freddy didn't have his rework, I regularly played at red ranks with him. One match I got a blendette. Everytime I found this person, they wouldn't look behind themselves and ran out in the open. A rank 20 could loop better. Needless to say, he sucked at hiding too and relied too much on his clothes. After the match was over, he messaged me (Xbox) and said that every killer is unfair with the exception of Huntress. He also told me the struggles of playing solo survivor and why I should apologize for "camping".

    Literally the worst survivor bias I've seen.

    I was playing David against a tunneling wraith on the groaning storehouse and the infinite window along with 2 pallets in the main loop spawned.

    He instead tried to mindgame me around the walls that have holes in them. Lol

    He thought since he hooked me once He could do it again but nope.

    I wasted 4 gens in total and while I was running to the last loop by the exit gate.

    my teammates opened it and as I was running out the wraith dced.

    He was salty after words when he should’ve just abandoned chase.

    You chose getting better at one aspect over staying mediocre at another.

    I have 2:

    1° I was spirit and a guy decided to teabag me not close enough to the exit... Instant karma.

    2° He unhooked me with no borrowed time, being chased, oh, did I forget saying against Bubba?

    $10 cosmetic in a $20 game or you could say $10 for a cosmetic for a $7 Character.

    I was on the hook, another person downed like twenty feet away while a jake was on a gen. The person on the hooked bled out and jake finished the gen. This happened on rank 20 and it was the dumbest thing ive ever seen.

    Also several times brown medkits with syringe and styptic protected by a white ward

    Dumbest thing I ever saw goes to something I saw in a game, with a friend, on comms. As we're finishing up the last gen, the killer starts to get close, my friend looping while me and the other two are on gens. One of the two disconnects, and bam. The hatch spawns right there. The one who didn't D/C had a key, and they open the hatch. I start yelling at my friend to come. Not only does he go away, he gets downed, and I die trying to save him. 1 escape.

    People who know they are vs a leatherface and still try to save someone off the hook shortly after they are hooked. 95/100 it results in both of them getting downed and being an auto loss for the team

    Ever be the first one found by the killer, get into a long chase, wonder why no gens are popping, get hooked, and finally see 2 teammates are crouched on the periphery on the map with the final not being visible because they are in a locker?

    *attempts to unhook self*

    One of the dumbest things I've seen is something I did the other day. Had two survivors left and all of the traps around the exits... after what was about 10 to 15 minutes of playing cat and mouse one of the buggers came into my view and instead of keeping my head and keeping them in a stalemate I chased after the one I saw. By the time I managed to get a hit on them they had suckered me on to the opposite side of the map and bang. Trap set off at the exit switch. I broke off and managed to get to the exit just in time to see them disappear and the one I stopped chasing took the hatch...


    Also I've had survivors crouching creeping backwards around a corner and walk right into me.

    Survivors that have Borrowed Time and run towards you for the hook save and then run away because the killer is coming back to the hook.

    or

    Killers who face camp and can’t even do it properly. Just had a match yesterday against a Billy who tired face camping hooks the entire game with his chainsaw revved up and couldn’t even face camp. All 4 survivors ended up escaping. I almost didn’t make it after the exits were powered up but I had 2 randoms body block the hook for me. 😂
