Why does no-one talk about how boring survivor is?

[Sergeant Poultry]

I will never understand how survivors can find it fun and engaging to sit still and idly hold M1, occasionally pressing space bar. It wouldn't be that bad if you only did it for a small amount of time, but you do it for the whole game. You do it for gens, heals, unhooks, recovery, gates, totems, chests, killer powers etc. I get that not every moment has to be a intense chase but a little bit more interactivity would be nice. There is nothing fun in idly holding M1 and watching a progress bar fill up yet people gobble it up and defend it like there is no tomorrow.

So do you have an idea to replace M1?

Yep survivor is boring as all hell. Only gets somewhat enjoyable when you finally get good enough to be able to loop efficiently.

I've been subjecting myself to the survivor "experience" as of late, and yeah, I hate it. It's a boring endless loop of holding M1 on this and that, until you die, or escape, devs need to get their sht together and add some new objectives or something more engaging than holding M1 on a damn gen.

The problem with this is that you can't even practice looping by yourself, you have to do it online which means you're forced into doing all those stupid tasks.

Many have grown bored of the Gen fixing simulator, but I really doubt there’s anything the developers can do about it

Unless there’s a new game mode this is unfortunately all we have.

So long as you don't get camped or tunneled I find it pretty enjoyable. The chases are what make it interesting, but if you're someone who hides and only comes out to touch gens I could see how that would be boring. I run at the Killer at the start of the match for this reason.

Here's a hint. Go to in-game options and change interactions from click hold to click toggle. You can thank me later.

I wouldnt know, i dont have enough time in a match to be bored, too busy trying to work on gens, rescuing people, trying to run the killer, and trying to not die

I did, it doesn't change the fact that for survivor majority of gameplay comes down to simply being idle and watching a bar go up.

When you say "too busy working on gens", do you mean watching a progress bar go up and occasionally hitting the space bar? But yes, looping the killer is definitely the best part.

That moment when the killer chasing you finally gives up and goes for someone else is pretty sweet. Saving people from getting hooked is super nice as well.

It is, my favourite memories in fact, but it only accounts for a very small amount of gameplay. The rest of the time is spent playing "Hold M1 simulator".

Bruh, why did this post get a clown award?

[Cacheelma]

Maybe because it's not boring?

no i mean, running from the killer, gen to gen trying to work on one without getting killed, not sitting on one gen just working on it.
