Why people dc when I slug?

[76561198879386526]

I was lucky and I had four people down at 5 gens. As soon as I picked up survivors, they all dced one by one. I was trying to get an achievement.

Early slug used to be a free pass. Killers would not hook till first gen was done as a way to give a second chance.

That doesn't speak very highly of you then. Why not actually play the game you agreed to play when you queued up? Why bail on everyone else who knew the rules...

♥♥♥♥ like this... Killers hate it, team mates hate it... the devs really should hate it more...

It was? I never noticed that being the case, because generators would always get done shortly after first hook. Even as unnerfed Nurse. Unless the matchmaking was garbage. But back then it wasn't that bad because there were skillgates to keep Survivors from red ranks.

If only there was a counter to slugging. Owait... There are many many second chance perks to completely negate being downed and kept in the downed state.

Encouraging playing meta and unfun perks? Very bold move.

You're not wrong. There's not a real win-win situation for either side without the devs actually trying to fix the game at it's core. Either run meta perks and be a meta slave, or get ♥♥♥♥ on by those who run them.

there was essentially 0 hope of completing the objective. its also really boring to wait for him to pick everyone up and watch yourself helplessly die on the hook

See I don't get this when the Killer is hooking you. That's not you wasting your time. You get your BP and are on to the next match in a couple of seconds. But people do that ♥♥♥♥ constantly when the Killer is about to hook them. Either on their first hook or death hook. That's not them "saving time". That's just the Survivor spitting in the Killer's face and denying them BP, at the cost of their own. (and screwing over the team, in a lot of cases)

That entirely depends on the game and what happens. Some situations do call for some slugging and that's understandable and fine but by the way OP spoke it sounded like he left everybody on the ground for as long as it took him to get all 4 people down and after some time it becomes obvious that the killer doesn't intend to keep the game running so why gift him then? you can't ♥♥♥♥ over your team in this situation because they're all in dying state anyway lol. Why should people gift the killer extra BP when the killer doesn't gift any BP in exchange? Seems fair to me. you reap what you sow

To be fair, slugging 4 at 5 gens is a pretty scummy way to play, I wouldn't do it personally. Well at least not intentionally going into a match to slug everyone at 5 gens...

what kind of moron would slug all 4 at 5 gens, just hook people and let the remaining one get unhooks so you can continue farming hook and chase points and make their game more miserable.

slug is no better than taking the game hostage. no one wants to spent 5mins just crawling around. its a complete waste of time in my opinion to slug but then again i try to play and have fun and make sure the survivors have fun as well.

boring babu killer

You know what I find weird? When the discussion of DS comes up what is the FIRST thing EVERY survivor says? "Just slug and leave them on the ground. CoUnTeReD". Then they apparently all dc because it's toxic...

Wrong. If there was 0 chance, then you did not prepare well enough with your perks and offerings. You have a lot of time prematch to talk to your teammates to sync up perks and items. Instead, all 4 of course chose to run the exact same 4 meta perks. The killer won because of it, and the survivors took it away from him. He probably even deranked because dcing is so fair and balanced. Play the game and stop being stupid. More people will have fun and have less to complain about if people would just play the bloody game instead of whining about every single thing

[Whut]

The developers dont care about people cheating with stretched screen, or enhanced gamma ratio's. So why would they actually care about people dcing? You as a killer decide to slug at 5 gens. You ruin their fun, they ruin theirs. Thats the way the world works

[Gorgon]

yeah i would dc too, slugging is boring.

[Spanty Meller]

People dc when you slug because you have a boring playstyle. One would think after a few dc's maybe you would realize what the problem is?

[Don't kill me]

Slugging is a legitimate strategy, that's why there are perks to counter it.
So why do Survivors disconnect?

It's like inviting 4 of my friends over for dinner. We all start to eat, but during the meal I start to bind them to their chairs and gag them one by one. I then sit back down and continue eating my own dinner. Then I get upset that they don't want to watch me eat and are trying to break their bindings.

Why don't you want to watch me eat? Isn't it fun???? I'm having fun! Why aren't you having fun!?!?!? Why aren't you eating!!!??! WHY!?!?!?!!?!?!?

I mean... it's damn near impossible to get the 4 slug unless the entire team is in 1 place and you're Bubba or something. Or they're all jackasses and basement dove and got punished for it. And the Killer is gifting the BP you got that match. When you DC you lose all that BP. So the individual Survivors are losing more BP than the Killer is (most of the time). But they don't care about that, they only care about removing the KILLER'S BP.

I mean, it's not exactly "Teaching the killer" anything by disconnecting.

It's like disconnecting during...well...literally any other PVP game because you hate what the other side is doing. You're not teaching the other side a lesson. In fact, because wins are often considered when the entire team dies/disconnects in DBD, disconnections would actually encourage it.

I played in the haydays before the disconnection penalty and I can tell you that the first survivor I downed would disconnect half the time, No matter what killer I played or when the down occurred. I've had people disconnect at 0 gens done, and even when I downed someone for the first time after 3 gens were done, they disconnected (TLDR: I often don't give a rats ass about 'winning')

It was annoying from a survivor perspective, but amusing from a killer's end. People feel as if they're entitled to "Teach" one side to play a specific way, but you'd think after 4 years of trying they'd figure out it doesn't work.

If people want to keep disconnecting, I can't do anything to stop them. Maybe if you keep getting slugged, bring unbreakable, as it's literally a free damn perk on Bill in the first place.

Slugging last for a maximum of 4mins. Minimum DC penalty is 5 mins... Theres no point in DCing for the next match. They are just salty ♥♥♥♥♥.
