Im genuinely curious... why do solo queue survivors fail to take hits?

[Chrome Dome]

If you know someone is getting tunneled why not take a hit? I just don't understand

[asyashi]

its 2023 and people still dont know how to double save, soloq is hopeless just find some friends to play with

[Sanvean]

Some people don't know how to play the game.

Killer just ignore them if they try to take a hit.

Or you're matched with duo/trio premade who don't care if you live or die.

None of my friends play this anymore lol. I'm the only one still here since 2016

I play solo and have loads of fun doing it.

I try to take a hit for a teammate if killer immediately starts chasing after first unhook. If they're on death hook it's usually not worth it. Killer will usually just ignore me and hard tunnel to make the a game a 3v1.

Sometimes it's better to just stay on a gen.

[Voidlines.ttv]

My SoloQ games usually end better when I take hits/when others take hits so uhh

I don't know

[PetRiLJoe]

I probably don't trust the other solo queue people to heal me after taking a hit

[Xalcen]

Probably because I see teammates go down within 15 seconds of load in. At that point it's just not worth it.

That's why i don't blame Swf most of the time. There's so many things which can't be done easily in Solo Q like double save, even if all survs are experienced players, it's a commom sense that anyone will create some kinda of ''Sinergy'' with you to done some things. Last time i tried a double save with a random on my side i was left on the hook, so...

Some of us don't have friends.

Taking a hit without an escape outlet is putting you in the short chase. Why should a solo take a bad risk? You are worth more to a solo caught than protected. Protection is a garbage points reward almost as bad as the +3 bold. If I know it is a SWF team I 100% NEVER TAKE THE HIT. THEY WILL FARM YOU FOR POINTS LIKE A DOG. If it is a fellow solo I will bait the killer till they chase me instead dogging them to extend more points for their 1st target.

If you think killers hate SWF try being the fourth survivor with a three player SWF team. F those wrinkled top sheets. Always take Sprint burst to bail away from those trios in bikini armor. Hide behind the killer if you have too.

If there were a clear separation between newbie/casual players that aren't obsessed with strategy and watching youtube videos about 'how to be good', and everyone else who takes this game seriously, then this problem probably wouldn't come up so much. (and yea, the ranking system or whatever they're calling it now is still busted)
Whatever complaint people have about solo Q 8 times out of 10 it's not common sense, it's community sense. A casual doesn't know wtf tunneling means. I know. I have played with them, repeatedly. I have a lot of friends that I wish would try this game out more than once but they refuse because the bar to 'play well' is too damn high. After the first couple games they're just frustrated and pissed that I have to give them like an 8 minute lecture about gameplay before things make sense. (then I gotta give another lecture everytime a new killer comes on, side note for OG's the ask is 'new content!' for casuals, they want to stop being bogged down by the overwhelming content already out. So that's a problem) Bottom line, it isn't FUN unless you've already been playing for 4 years. I for one am proud of any boosted player that sticks it out and plays a game or two even if they don't know what their doing. Cuz that's a hard thing to do.

Anyway, beginners/casuals don't want to take a hit because it goes against their game instincts, most games don't train you to take hits to win the game. They also don't all have a quick strategy set up to get their second state back and not immediately go down after taking that hit. After that they become a burden to the team anyway, cuz how is a casual player gonna know how to run a chase, they're not watching Kyto/noob3 videos in their spare time. Some people actually think the game is SCARY, hence the crouching around the map phenomenon. People in the Dbd community forget that normal casual players that just want to play a spooky game exist. That's the actual problem about half the time imo. Make badges or separate loby's for casuals is what I'm saying lol. Anyway, that's my two cents as someone who's been playing since 2016 and still can't do a 360, or flashlight save, or loop for 2 minutes, or even play as killer without extreme embarrassment. Because not everyone is good at videogames. Some of us just wanted to play something. Sorry if I sound heated lol I'm just thinking out loud.

[Sanvean]

I really don't understand people who don't help a survivor being tunneled.

The killer wants to get ride of someone and win an advantage playing 3vs1.

If the person being tunneled is a good looper, others can have time to do gens, but if they don't, game is dead for them.

So by helping the survivor, you're helping yourself and your team, unless you don't want to play the game doing 5 gens and going for an escape.

[Tragopan]

Because Killers aren't an AI enemy you can "aggro". If the Killer has decided to tunnel then they're going to tunnel. All you can do is finish the generators and get out while the Killer is shortening the game. To do otherwise is a waste of everyone's time, especially the person getting tunneled. It's the same counter to camping.

Sucks for everyone but the state of the game is like that.

[Danzomanzo]

Just genrush and punish the killer if they are doing this. A lot of tunnelers have an ulterior motive to use stuff that makes healing and gens etc take longer when survivors take hits. Don't give them the satisfaction.
