Run kindred at your own risk
Kindred is great as solo survivor dont get me wrong. But by using it you are at the risk of seeing some of the world's dumbest plays take place. I had a match in which a hillbilly camped someone in the basement and with kindred I knew exactly what was going on at all times. The situation ended with all three of my teammates getting downed in the basement and me giving up and letting the killer kill me (he slugged me bc he though I had ds)
Seriously the amount of times I've run kindred and saw my teammates run towards the killer is ridicoulus. Even when Im the one hooked and everyone sees the rest of the team my teammates still either all run towards me for the save or stay in the gens and let me die.
Overall, if you run kindred, you are risking getting extremely angry and salty at your teammates, not necesarilly becoming toxic, but being really mad at them

Yea.
Its a double edged sword.
Its a very powerful tool to get information. But some of that information just might come back and cause you irreversible damage.

I literally just made a post about this haha

What are you talking about? Free comedy shows are the best reason to run Kindred.

Yeah after i see all 3 of my teammates down with kindred i sit back in a bush and enjoy some popcorn.

Yes. But there's also times where kindred tells them where the killer went to, and they preemptively hide while the one on the other side comes for the save.
It goes both ways. XD

I was in a 3 man swf with kindred and the solo left me to die even though he was the closest and my squad were on the other side of the map healing each other while the killer was walking to them

I was being camped by LF in the basement earlier with kindred and all three others came down to try and harass him and ended up in there too. It might be the stupidest thing I've seen in this game.

Kindred doesn't increase brain power unfortunately. Being able to see what your team is or isn't doing has always been triggerworthy.

Never underestimate the power of stupid.

So...much...mistakes by teammates...

I can't run kindred or empathy any more.
It physically pains me to see self-carers in action.

Solo que survivor is a struggle , i always have to run alert/bond just to know what type of calibre my randoms are

Maybe they brought a medkit? I typically see more ppl using medkits than selfcare anymore, but it can look the same if you're just going off an aura.

Medkits don't take 30+ seconds and work for 4-5 heals over 10 minutes.

Using a medkit next to the only killer that uses Coulrophobia...with a TON of charges...

You run the same risk with bond and Empathy.

Seriously, I’m anytime I run kindred or bond I am amazed and how little some people actually do... no wonder people complain survivors don’t get enough bloodpijnts compared to killers, they do nothing but stealth
Twice today I had a teammate get hatch (7k) and ends up with less than 8000 bloodpijnts total #########

We refer to them as "baby potato's"

Even if you play your best game as a survivor most of the time you're not gonna get nearly as many bloodpoints as you do on killer lol

thats why im running bond to see claudette selfcaring in corner and dying to bbq before she waste 32sec

Not as much, but the gap isn’t as big as people make it out to be if you actually do stuff. 20k compared to 28-30k as a general rule I’ve seen since I started really paying attention.

I honestly think Kindred is one of the best survivor perks in the game now. It may be the best. I have been giving serious thought to not using it though because of exactly what you are describing. In most games survivors completely ignore the very useful information it gives them.

The things you see on kindred, or when you are waiting on the hook are either really entertaining or extremely depressing. You're indeed gambling with your sanity by equipping that perk :)

killer obviously out of range...
one teammate 20 meters away cleansing a dull totem then running off to cleanse another...
one teammate crouching to me from across the map...
one teammate actually doing a gen...
I go into seconds stage on first hook over half the time anymore

Kindred brings to light the meaning of "ignorance is bliss".

I spend my time on the hook getting a nice arm/shoulder workout so I can strengthen my open hand face slap should I see these players again.

I was running kindred and just so happened to be put in the basement by a trapper. I was forced to watch in horror as Nea was urban evading down the basement stairs while I'm 5 seconds away from dying, when she got down the stairs she immediately crouch-walked into an obvious bear trap at the far edge of the stairs. Again I was using kindred so I don't know how she did not see the trapper put that there.

Killer hooks me around the edge of the map and goes looking for survivors directly ahead of me. 1 survivor crouching in the left corner of the map out of heartbeat radius, 1 survivor crouching in the right corner of the map (again outside of heartbeat radius) and 1 survivor crouching directly ahead of me (within radius). The guy ahead of me gets chased and he got caught exactly when 2 minute timer ran out. The other two were still crabwalking in their respective corners. No one touched a gen.
Endgame screen showed all 3 were rank 2 😂
