Do PC survivors play injured?

*Good survivors play injured imo

If killer has ruin, it's always better to finish gen. I don't mind being healed when someone is nearby and killer is not around. I often ask for heal or look up for medkit if I need to save someone or if I was hooked twice.

I'm not a good looper so I prefer to be healed if I have opportunity. Full health increase chase time and give possibility to save or bodyblock if it needed.

It really depends on the survivors you get. I will say that I notice fewer PC survivors running Self Care than console survivors, though. PC survivors more often seem to either run medkits or play injured until someone else heals them.

From a killer pov, while I don't see necessarily a skill disparity between PC and console survivors, I definitely noticed different trends.

I see most console players running self-care, although still common among the PC folks as well. They also tend to prioritize healing over gens, even when doing the gen is the clearly superior choice.

I haven't noticed much difference between platforms. But although the survivors that insist on everyone constantly healing (i.e. against a legion) can be pretty stubborn and annoying the ones who insist on playing injured can be equally so (i.e. against one of the yamaokas)

Really depends on survivor experience level and the killer.

Assuming experienced survivors i.e. red rank: Healing once is fine. Obviously heal if you're on death hook without DS or Adrenaline though. Gens are taking too long if multiple people are having to heal more than once. In that instance, people are being inefficient with the objective, sending too many for saves, etc.

I do think people shouldn't look at tournament SWFs and try to do that in pubs though. You're not passing around a medkit, coordinating two Deliverances, and staying safe until Adrenaline with randos. Teams practice that stuff repeatedly and have tight comms. Not a reasonable expectation for solo queue. Part of the reason playing injured works in coordinated squads is that we can call out "blinking top right" so the injured person can move before they even hear a TR.

Quick facts:

1- With self care the time investment for healing 1 health state is 32 seconds, total team time used is the same.

2- With a brown medkit that goes to 16 seconds, total team time used is the same. <=Net gain here

3- Another team member healing you without modifiers takes 16sec, but a total of 32 seconds were wasted by the team (16 for you, 16 for them). As bad as self care, but do not require a perk slot.

4- 2 people can heal you in 8 seconds, with a total team time investment of 8x3=24 seconds. <=Net gain here

5- The team time wasted by self caring or healing another survivor alone 2.5 times could be used to have a gen fully completed. Assess the situation wisely before performing heals.

I usually do especially if the killer has High pressure or a favorable 3-gen position he's protecting. I've to say though that this mindset is more powerful if also other Survivors in the team do it, which is not always the case. If you're the only one doing it, it will probably backfire in some cases. 😅

Yes, I play injured most of the time because I'm too lazy to bring inner strength, self care, bond or a medkit, I prefer using IW.

to me, it depends. Usually i try to heal up, because i am way more comfortable being at full health. And as a stealth player, i can use the stun the killer takes after a hit to juke him, even if there are no pallets left.

But i wont let a mostly finished gen regress just to heal, i wouldn´t leave somone on a hook (unless the killer is camping and/or tunneling, because again i might need to take a hit there, and i dont just hooktrade).

So yes, i do if nessesary, but i dont like to.

Yes. PC players tend to play injured and not go out of their way for a heal unless they have a perk that facilitates it. And even then, they'll still play injured against certain killers (legion, plague, billy, etc.)
