Do people not know what 3-genning is and how to avoid it?

[LastTourniquet]

Not counting the times where the killer is actively pursuing a 3-gen from the start of the game, people are aware of how to prevent this from happening to them rite?

I honestly feel like 70%+ of my matches end in a 3-gen because people simply aren't paying attention to which generators they are doing. Its really not that hard, just don't do any generators directly next to an already completed generator. That's it. That is all you have to do. If you have trouble keeping track of the generators bring Dark Sense or whatever perk it is that spots the generators for you.

or simply put. complete 1 gen and skip the 1 one next to it. instead of doing 1 2 3 4 5, do 1 3 5

It's not quite that simple.

I've played games with De Ja Vu perk, focused on breaking up every possible 3-gen every game. Usually when I do that, the killer instantly tunnels any survivor who is disrupting their 3-gen. Since the other survivors won't know which gens to work on, then I just get hyper tunnelled out the game. Really unfun when the killer knows their 3-gen.

with onryo its not matter, but with m1 killer it does

Against an Onryo you cans till prevent early game 3-genning and force her to have to teleport which takes up time an has an audio cue, alternatively an organized group can just outrite remove the ability for her to teleport by doing the cassette tape mechanic but that isn't really what I look for in random solo que matches.

I'll be honest, I'm sometimes guilty of this but it's mainly a case of not being familiar enough with some maps. There are perks that help but most maps I don't need them so they're totally wasted. Then I get a map I'm not so familiar with and, if I have a decent team, I sometimes find I've screwed up with regard to gen choice. It's not deliberate, it's just a lack of familiarity that I will eventually get to grips with. My only other option is wandering about doing sod all gens which doesn't help much either. That's solo-Q hell for you.

does anyone think that most people who play dbd are good? most players are casual average and dbd tutorial is really bad. it takes 100 hours to even learn the basics of mechanics, killers, perks, maps, etc. and more than that to learn the ideal actions to take and adapt during matches.

and when you do get a team that know things, there are a lot of selfish players that will rather do corner gens safely and let others die.

its difficult to find 3 people to team with in swf at the same time who think of the team as a whole and are strategic in their actions and can adapt if need be. and its rare to find it in solo.

beyond all the stuff to think of when playing a game in dbd, you need to analyze your team, if you are in a swf and you know 1 or more have bad habits or lack of skill and they cant improve, be ready for it and know when to let them die if its inevitable. same with solo, if you see your team not doing smart gens or healing against a legion, etc. you need to adapt and be ready to wait for them to die and get hatch.

there are times to work as a team and put yourself in danger and even sacrifice yourself for your team, but if your team has flaws, its on you to adapt and try to get the best possible outcome with the hand you're dealt. you want pizza but the pizzeria is closed, you dont need to starve, go to mcdonalds. dont get a plain burger put some cheese on that bad boy. gotta do what you can.

Here's my own Map Support build specific to spam high-priority objectives to survivors since Pig DLC

i've seen 0 players use it, ever

• Deja Vu
  
• Detective's Hunch
  
• Streetwise (Flavour Perk)
  
• Exhaustion Perk
  
  
• Rainbow Map w/ Crystal Bead, Retardant Jelly, Glass Bead meme

With this you can spam the 3 gen location to teammates, it's great for newer players to learn

This build also completely destroys Trapper since devs haven't removed trap aura yet iirc

[Yayoi Hozuki]

Yeah, there's a lot of people who simply does the first gen they find, without even thinking about if they should leave it for later and instead do one the center of the map


Then scared of repair when the last gens are in the same place...

Thank you. You will see one peep use it at least.

While I agree with this statement almost every time that I check someones profile (assuming they are on steam and don't have it set to private) they have over 1000 hours so this argument doesn't really stand. It doesn't take 1000 hours to learn about 3 genning. Hell it doesn't even take 100 hours. Its one of the first things you learn about, especially in this current meta were its so commonly used.

I am not asking for every survivor in my solo queue matches to be god tier players, im not even asking them to be average skilled players, but I would appreciate if my teammates wouldn't consistently set up a 3-gen for the killer. Seriously its like 4/5 games that the killer could AFK and get a 3-gen because people just don't pay attention.

This is one of the reasons I almost always try to rush middle gens, even if its more dangerous. If I am able to get the center gen(s) out of the way early I can usually break a 3gen on my own by intentionally doing my 2nd gen on the opposite side of the map from wherever my teammates are doing theirs. Unfortunately doing the center gens often leads to being chased which means I don't actually get to finish it early enough to actually execute that plan.

you dont seem to have read my entire post. if you did you will see that I stated even people who do know the game do not play strategically or they are selfish and dont have an overall team objective mindset

There is a different between playing selfish and playing stupid.

maybe english isn't your primary language, because i literally stated people who do not play strategically (aka stupid) and also selfish people
