Dead by Daylight
Escaping when last
How do you escape when you’re last survivor? The hatch is closed as soon as the entity eats the third person because it seems to spawn on the killers all the time, so I’ve gotten in the habit of just walking to the door and waiting for the killer to come kill be because there is no point in doing anything anymore.

As for unga bunga... the terror radius is such than even in heavy mist, if I can hear a heartbeat I know where the killer is.

Yeah... so if he earned it. We lost... just end it. It’s pointless and not fun at that point. Now when I’m the last one standing I just go find the killer so I can get to a new match.

Okay? It's not pointless or impossible, it's just not in your favor. If you want to be a quitter than be a quitter I guess.
There really isn’t a way out if you’re the last survivor. Hatch closes as soon as it opens, and door takes two months to open so a killer just stands between the two and waits for the buzzer.

Well, I mean there is considering I've done it several times before and others have too. If you think it's too hard, then just get better at the game. Not trying to patronize at all, just sharing what I think honestly. It's difficult, but can be done. However, you should just try to avoid the situation all together because it is certainly not in your favor.

It was okay in the bad old days when the killer would be magnetised to the hatch, so if you really wanted to be painstaking and do gens with stealth perks there was a method to get out.

But now if you're not standing on the hatch or at a gate when the endgame starts, percentages you're mostly not escaping. And even if you get working on a gate immediately, chances are the killer will search the gate area well enough to find you.

It's a lot of luck and not a lot of skill, and the gameplay isn't great, with the added downside now of potentially being juggled for 2 or 3 minutes if you get found. So for a lot of people trying to escape as the last survivor is just negative EV. Once the hatch is shut, you are better off hiding in a corner.

Fundamentally the gens/gate mechanic is kind of broken for last survivors and the hatch was a sticking plaster solution that added more problems than it solved (which is a shame, because the lore is interesting). If you were re-designing from the ground up you'd probably have an alternate ending condition for survivors that didn't revolve around escaping (I would probably say some kind of cleansing ritual linked to totems etc), but that ship has sailed.

1. There is a way out, it's just not easy.
2. No it doesn't close as soon as it opens.
3. No the door doesn't take 2 minutes to open.

As said, you almost lost the game at this point and still get a chance, don't expect it to be a good one.
The problem with that argument is that the last survivor can have a great game with double pips even before the endgame (not 'almost lost' but 'almost won') - and maybe all survivors played well but the killer just matched them - but suddenly the game flips and the survivor is completely disadvantaged, with no real gameplay left to them, just a roll of the dice.

It feels wrong that having played well to that point there's no adversarial gameplay left in the match, given how the horror genre works with final girls etc.

Honestly it would be better if the last survivor didn't have to worry about gates and hatches and the endgame for killer versus last survivor was on some different axis, since at that point there is little chance of balancing 'survivor has to stand in one place for 80 seconds' versus killer being free to roam (and if it's Demo, Billy, Nurse etc etc, why bother, they are essentially omni present at both gates).

Betting on the Hatch is putting all of your eggs in one basket, playing it smart and staying near an exit door when the 3rd survivor is killed is the better option. As it is assumed both you and the killer will be looking for it, you to escape and the killer to stop that. Mind gaming the killer into thinking you're gunning for the hatch is the best way to slip out an exit door.

Yesterday, i escaped exactly this way.

And this has happened multiple times, as well as escaping through the hatch. Of course also many deaths as the last one, but what to expect in that kind of situation?

OP is exaggerating because of (like in at least half of the weeping threads) a lost game and/or thinking, like many Survivors, that they're entitled to win against the Killer in a 1vs1.

And then it's a game, i won't ever understand why people, instead of heading for the next game, choose to visit the forums to weep about their lost match and about everything being the others (especially the games) fault.
Thats something I get baffled by.

Survivor team lost if 3 are dead.
Furthermore, you also lost the hatch race. (Though tbh it should open when the 3rd survivors health timer goes away)
The door then is just a hail mary, yet I see so many who act like it should be more common to get out. Like, you lost. Twice.
