Why do teammates get mad if you weren't hooked until everyone was dead?

[Grim]

It's not every lobby, but I've had a few times now where people I've queued into seem to believe that if the killer chooses not to chase you then you're acting as a millstone to the team, and that if you want to be a "team player" then you should throw the game and play badly so that the killer will chase and hook you. I don't understand this mentality, and I'm hoping someone can explain it.

If I'm playing survivor, I can't make the killer chase me, can I? If they choose to go after weaker links then I don't have any control over that. And before you ask, I wasn't crouching around the map hiding in bushes, I was playing Jeff, getting unhooks left and right, and working on generators whenever I wasn't healing up the other guys. What more do survivors want from me?

Wouldn't it be better for the weaker survivors to strive to play closer to the level of their most skilled teammate instead of forcing the MVP to drag themselves down to their level?

If some random teammate is on their dead hook & is getting chased, then I try my best to body block for them or get the killers attention when I haven't been hooked at all yet. Or when someone is on dead hook, then I'll try to go out there & save someone off the hook, so my teammate can stay safe on a gen on the other side of the map.

Thing is with random teammates it's always 50/50 if this plays out well or not. One time I was trying to help a Kate, got the killers attention, looped him for almost 2 gens, got hooked for the first time & then everyone ignored me on the hook until I died. So I'd say play however you want if it's SoloQ, because yes ideally you'd help out your teammates by taking the heat off of them, but as long as you stay safe & get unhooks, heals & do some gens you're just as valuable.

That's not necessarily the case. If, while you're looping the killer and consuming their time, […]

See, that's the assumption everyone seems to be making, that when the killer has the choice between someone with no hooks and someone with 2 hooks, they'll bother to chase the person with no hooks. Chasing the killer in a fruitless effort to get their attention just feels like the most massive waste of time.

Tbf if the guy was the killer I can understand why he'd say "yes". That's an easy one to figure out, he wants an easier match rather than learning and getting better.

I suggest - if you care about the answer/s - ask them all when you can in the end game chat. Keep in mind though, the DBD community isn't known for seeing anything from any perspective otherthan their own.

I predict asking will be fruitless.

"The guy" was one of the survivors who needed to be healed all match. Killer was on console.

It really is kind of funny because bodyblocking for a teammate is literally what I tried to do, if they would've stopped running into me in the process.

But even if I did that -- what happens after I get hit? Either I stick with the survivor to force the killer to keep chasing me (which means 2 survivors aren't progressing the match) or I split off from the other survivor -- at which point the killer will logically choose to chase the other survivor, who is on death hook.

What's the goal, here?

It can be; but you don't know until you try with a given killer. Some will intentionally ignore you, some may not. Again, I'm not trying to say you actually have to; it's the extra mile you can choose to go as a teammate.

Yeah, sometimes I just win all my chases and the killer stops bothering with me. My boosted teammates will say I did nothing all match, but the scoreboard shows that I outscored the 3 of them combined lol.

Those randoms will put more effort into the end game chat than they did the actual game, just ignore them or turn it off.

The effort youre putting into those games will be the only consistent thing youll see in solo que beside the end game rants. Im frequently matched with people who would rather use the team as bait than help get everyone out. Ill have more pallets slammed on me by my teammates than the actual killer and a majority of them are allergic to gens. Then the game ends and these guys decide this is the time to make an effort.

If you want to enjoy solo que, chat off and play how you want. Make the game fun for you, as long as youre not grieving anyone, thats the beauty of solo que.
Unless you screwed up why would you care what your teammates have to say.

You dont have to be hiding or anything for people to assume you play safe.
In most cases if you dont get into chases it means you playing too safe and let your team to take all the heat.
I had a survivor once who told me that i as a killer couldn't catch him because he was too good for me which wasn't the case there. I didnt have to catch him simply because he was playing too safe. Doing gens in the main building always leaving gens early before i even there. And i didn't even have to catch him cause killer dont need any interaction with all 4 survivors to win a game.
So next time you play try to not play like a baby survivor

You only see your perspective so you shouldn’t be assuming anything. You don’t know who did the saves, the gens, what ratios of anything. You simply didn’t see that person or notice them. That’s all you know
