should a head on duo be reportable?
for those who don't know what a head on duo is, basically its 2 FUNNY friends who both have head on (can be 3 but rare)
the main idea is one of them gets the killer in chase while the other hides in a locker and the survivor in chase gets the killer near that locker and the killer gets stunned and do all over again...
the problem is, they are basically throwing not only are they not doing any gens or helping others, once the killer catches up on the ordeal they can bait em out for easy kills
now i would say they have the killer's attention so the other 2 survivors can do the gens but tbh..if the killer is smart they can just injure them both and leave to waste time healing while they pressure the other 2 survivors who are trying to play or you know if the killer has pain res that's a free gen pressure...
i feel like this should be reportable because they are basically throwing the game for the other 2 survivors who are trying to win, but in the same im not sure, the fact that i met a pretty popular youtuber doing this and not for a video just doing for i dunno fun i guess? gives me the idea that....i dunno what gives me tbh, as an influencer you are suppose to bring the light in the community not help ruin it.
what's your opinion on this?

Entity forbid Survivors get bored of holding M1 and staring at a hook and actually do something fun for once.

i do get your point
having 8k hours of dbd, you would seek fun, but why not do it with a 4 stack, since you all would be in agreement that losing is fine instead of ruining it for the other 2 survivors that are actually trying to play

No.
And everybody can throw a game if he wants to (Challenges...). May not be nice sometimes but should not be a problem.
People already take this game way too serious.

After 4k hours I'm lucky if any of my friends I played with from pre-1k hours are still around let alone 8k.

What? Why? Of course not.

The game is still totally winnable if the other 2 are gen jockeys. You don't want to stop people from trying to have fun in the game and force them to play for real. Killers will have a 20% win rate if that's the case. Please.
But sure, report away.

my man why so agro, i didn't report anyone, im just trying to see what view point of everyone else....relax.

You have 2 survivors in your face causing a distraction so the other two can focus on gens. Long as they're actively looping/trying to stay alive, then I don't see how its reportable.
Being in chase is the most fun people have in the game, unless you're running Hyperfocus going for the intense Great skill checks. Sitting on gens is a huge flaw in this game as far as entertainment goes.

It's not like people need Head On as an excuse to throw the game, so.

That was aggro? Sorry dude.

Annoying for the team and/or killer: Yes, absolutely!
Should it be a bannable offence?: Absolutely not.
It's not stopping the game from progressing, nor holding anyone hostage. If this became bannable, there would be nothing to stop people from reporting things such as unnecessary dropping of pallets, hiding in lockers or using any perk that can work with Head-On. It's really got no merit to be an offence.
1 -
I feel you, OP. Being run into multiple Head On stuns a game by SWF is one of the most annoying things in this entire game. SWF doesn't give any advantages tho is what I'm told
1 -
I don't see on what grounds this could or should be bannable.
Throwing =/= bannable offense. Lord knows I'd have been banned a long time ago if that was the case.
1 -
There are usually points on every map where these work the best (think main building on Dead Dawg), and the Head-oners will try to keep you near them and loop you around them. If you don't want to be part of their comedy routine, avoid those areas and go after the other two. Same approach as vs. locker stun pairs/groups (RIP, lol).
Now if all four are doing it, that can be tedious.

Sadly nearly all of my DBD buds have also long moved on.

Only if waiting in a locker near a generator while the killer kicks it and gets hit by Blast Mine to be blinded and stunned... followed by jumping out of the locker with Head On to stun them again, and then throwing down a Flashbang to blind them AGAIN. Bonus points if you have Residual Manifest so they can't see any auras for the next 30 seconds.
Or in other words, no.. as I know far worse ways to abuse a killer.
Also, as a Pig main, I dare you to try the above with me... if you manage to pull it off, you will earn my respect and I'll let you out the door, not just hatch.

After seeing this and ur last thread. I'm gonna assume you are trolling

I only play killer and no, that's perfectly valid. If you fall for it more than once then that's on you!

This forum has a subset that will absolutely die on the hill that is "I have a right to behave in SoloQ any way I please."
Fittingly, some probably fall in the Head On venn diagram.

assume what u want

didn't say that lol
and yes i did get stunned at the start but once i knew what's going on it was easy to bait out

By this logic, anything other than gen jockeying should be reportable. Going for flashlight plays? Reportable. Chest goblin? Reportable. Doing bones? Reportable. Just being kinda bad in general? Reportable.
If the survivor's not actively trying to sandbag their teammates, or doing literal nothing, it's aboveboard.

?????????????
you do know these duos are BASCIALL USELESS, doing nothing but going down RIGHT?
0 -
I've seen some use it to decent effect and occupy the killer for a while.
They're less useless than Elodies who go through every single chest on the map twice or bodyblock squads who think landing two healthy people on the floor for one wiggle off is a good trade.
Saying players should be reportable for engaging in gameplay is pretty crazy.

i asked, not said.

The intent is not to throw, but rather to win chases, by baiting the killer into chases and staying safe through the use of head on. Since the intent isn't to throw the match, it shouldn't be reportable/bannable. If we're banning people trying to have fun and playing suboptimally, might as well ban the players crouching behind rocks first, at least head on squads are more likely to unhook you.
1 -
No????
Why????
2 -
So funny you should mention this. One of my friends played a game of killer where they were up against this, shes a newer player and didnt quite understand what was happening.. But in addition to all 4 running head on and having flashlights all 4 had vigil so they got their exhaustion perks back in like 15 seconds. She won but straight up did not have a good time and needed to take a break after that game. I mean being stunned 100 times (possibly not that much of an exaggeration) in a single game even if you win can just be painful.
1 -
If non optimal play was reportable then 90% of the playerbase would be banned
2 -
It’s obviously not fun for the killer.
0 -
and BHVR thinks that mmr is good for this game
mmr can be manipulated and can hurt a game quite a lot especially for something like dbd being 4 v 1, but the thing im annoyed about is, when the killer just nods, that's a bm but survivors stunning the killer 600 times and clicking is not?
i usually nod when i outplay a survivor since im mostly on low tier killers....and they dc, like does nod say IM GONNA CAMP YOU NOW
0 -
when was there anything fun for the killer in dbd lol
beside the stabbing animation its just an overloaded time of doing stuff lol
and the moris of course

They tried a gambit, and it either works or it doesn't.
1 -
First of all, I am quite sure that you are a Killer who encountered two Survivors who where using Head On to you and not a Survivor who experienced that they cannot do all Gens due to those players.
When it comes to reporting - hell no, for what? Everyone can play as they like. Obviously, if they dont want to contribute to the team, they should maybe not play a Multiplayer game, but if we start reporting people who use Head On to annoy the Killer instead of doing Gens, where should we stop? Reporting someone for using Self Care in a corner? Reporting someone for not being efficient on Gens?
1 -
yes i did face them as killer, and im not saying playing with a certain perk is reportable but tbh once i realized what they were doing, they were basically useless, and since i knew they can't do anything i mostly injured them and went to pressure the gens on the other 2 survivors that are being useful, so you could see my point here no?
1 -
once the killer catches up on the ordeal they can bait em out for easy kills
This here is why it shouldnt be bannable. Its using game mechanics, and does have use, but eventually fails once the killer catches on and adapts.
2 -
nothing they kept trying.....didn't even try something new just kept trying over and over
0 -
well i mean OP has a point its griefing. When i do fun ######### like this i always make sure we're a 4man swf beacuse well its griefing... But reportable yes bannable no. I mean you can report someone for anything ;)
0 -
Nah. I get what you mean regarding it being unfair for the other 2, but when I play I'm the one who falls into the other 2 category and I still say nah. I'm used to randoms throwing games, whether it's for challenges or dailies or they're just bored. If a duo want to mess around then I'm at the point where it's just whatever. I'd rather people have fun than take the game too seriously
0 -
Absolutely not. People have meme games where they don't engage in normal gameplay.
Plus if duo headoning was reportable then so would suiciding on hook.
0 -
No, absolutely not. They're just using a perk in the game. They might not be playing as efficiently as you'd like, but playing inefficiently is not enough of a reason to ban someone. Some folks are playing to win, and that's totally fine, but others are playing to have fun.

Lmao plz

Honestly anyway to not play against fast gens I would give these survivors props.
0 -
No, it should not. Every in game mechanic or playstyle should not be reportable.
You may ask yourself if it's the best way to handle the game and suggest a different interaction, but any way to coordinate or use strategy in a game like this, should not be considered an offense (this includes as much survivors, as killers with tunneling, camping, slugging)
