    Just realised that I voted my favorite playstyle instead of the worst, and I made the poll!! my god I'm so dumb

    Honestly, Immersion & Ez games are pretty close to me.


    Immersion is easy: You can play solo as Survivor, but not doing anything at all means pretty much anyone else would've been a better replacement.

    I would forgive newbies of course.


    Ez games however is also not my favorite: The game's over super fast, maybe faster than the time i spent in the main menu, there would've been pretty much no room for more excitement than maybe 1 chase.

    Those are not fun to me, no matter "how much we trashed the Killer, lololol".

    So anyone demanding the perfect plays of me and those specific 4 Perks is demanding something that won't happen.

    There is nothing more boring in this game than facing immersed players, I know some people enjoy doing it but... won't stop me from hating and not respecting it lol.

    These players are also the type that never do anything for their team and always try to get hatch wins, and that annoys me 'cause I empathise with their teammates.

    Sometimes as killer I face some immersed players, and they still manage to do 2 gens before I even see then, and that's preaty boring

    I dislike this play style because it's typically sandbag behavior and gets me killed more often than the one memeing around. It's sabotaging my game and sometimes borderline working with the killer (or at least in their favor).

    Immersion is also bad and boring to play with / against, but at least they're not actively screwing over the team. They're just doing it passively :p

    as killer or survivor?

    as killer I hate the Stealth ones

    as survivor I DESPISE the Gens = boring ones

    This is way too quick. I have ways of countering most of these playstyles but that one is by far the most infuriating, since If they want to rush there is no real way of countering it.

    What do you mean with "worst"? Fun? Effectiveness?

    The immersive play style is objectively the worst.

    Since the survivor is not found they do not buy their allies time. Additionally, since they hide whenever the killer is nearby they are often not helping allies with generators even when it is safe and usually lack the speed or courage to go for hook saves. In other words, they are a worse version of a gen jockey.

    However, they are even worse for killers since their constant paranoia makes them very hard to find. If you have 2 paranoid survivors in the worst case scenario you might spend upwards of 10 minutes looking for the 2 last survivors.

    When I think of a “stealthy” survivor, I think of a Claudette who uses Urban Evasion all game and takes forever just to get to the objective, which wastes a lot of time and contributes very little to the team. These survivors almost always get discovered by the killer so they end up downed or hooked anyways, so why take all of the extra time by crouch-walking everywhere? I once was hooked in the basement and had a Meg crouch-walk all the way to my hook while the Obsession was being chased, and she got a couple of steps away from me before the timer ran out and I died. I thought that maybe I had pissed her off somehow but when I spectated the rest of the match I saw that she was a Rank 17 that literally crouch-walked everywhere she went.

    Playing "immersion" combined with attracting the killer can be very effective. Have had killers look for me for an overall duration of ~2 gens quite a few times 😂
