Kill Stealing

[Resting Lyon]

Getting a little tired of killers just hovering around people to get the final shank for a kill, rather than cut people off, roam the map for other survivors, or just do other things needed to be done to slow down survivors. I had a hitchhiker and a leatherface in one map just chasing behind me like a pair of lost children, slamming the left mouseclick after I hit a survivor a few times, only to have two others run on by and start working on an exit.

Haven't seen that, but I've had someone curse me out for getting the instant kill from hitting a victim while they were in a struggle with them.

Yeah it's really annoying.

You already don't get that many points as a family member.

I dont care who gets the final blow, the only thing that matters is making sure all 4 victims die.

Haven't run into an intentional kill "stealers", but everyone chasing to secure the kill before they GGEZ escape down a well or press their full heal hack is very common.

That said, kill points should be distributed team wide, even if it's a smaller bonus to the others who didn't get the kill themselves. Yet another dumbfu©k design decision that we can only hope gets changed some day while there's still a population willing to play family that's above double digits.

I actually really appreciate when my family members help secure a kill. Make sure the victim doesn't have a chance to escape. Like cutting them off on both sides of a wall, or just body-blocking them in the gank corner. Don't take it so serious, it's just imaginary numbers.

I primary play Cook or Johnny but if my Hitchhiker or Sissy waits for me to push my target through a crawl space or gap and gets the kill then that's fair game and teamwork.

It's also better for someone to hit the Victim that's grappling you because that'll also be a free kill and gets someone out of the game fast.

I am normally of that mindset, but most of the time, it seems they just want an easy kill for no work.

Big apologies if that was me, there was a match yesterday where I kept accidentally running into a Hitch wherever I went and there was a time where I stole a kill because I didnt realize how low her health was! If it wasn't me, I can definitely say there are times where I give space but if my teammate is struggling I will go in and get some hits(with accidental kills if they are too low)

they just need to make it so kills give equal exp and points to all family members and remove "kills" from the score board

They can keep kills, people don't tend to care about if someone got more kills than them. They care when they see that XP number next to it as realize they're getting shafted, even if they do 90% of the damage/setup.

What-
That person needs to stop playing ASAP if they complain about teamwork... the struggle isn't guaranteed to go in their favour either.

I reckon they're the type of person to complain about you not helping either, so it's a lose lose either way.

exactly, the struggle is determined by the victims health too so even at max health theres no way to win it without a teammate instant killing them.
