Skill checks are rigged

[Amogus]

Nobody will ever convince me that there isn't hidden RNG that is affected by what perks you have

I ran hyperfocus/stake out/fogwise build 5 games in a row and every single game I only got 3-4 skill checks in the entire game, but when I run a normal build w/ no skill check-based perks, I will get 3 within 25 seconds and will even get them 50% of the time when I try to let off a gen to go and unhook someone

They also have it programmed to give you a skill check when you want to leave the gen or scratch your nose.

My anxiety goes through the roof when i get an itch on my nose *starts sweating

True but its because they happen every time you scratch your nose or sneeze it have nothing to do with your build XD

You should try no mither hyperfocus stake out and deadline. The extra 10% skill check chance added with a tool box can get you a skill check once every 5 seconds

Definitely.
It's like I always have to finish a skill check before I leave the gen, otherwise i'm missing it

I do feel this is true though i dont know what perks. I have done a lot of tests with scavenger and the skill check rate is dramatically lower in my sample size of ~27 trialls.

But in the endit doesnt really matter. Even if it were proven, theyre entitled to baalance the game how they want. Im not saying its not worth discussion, i just stopped trying to overthink it and do what works for me.

Well said XD

The opposite is true as well. Usually I average 2-3 skills checks healing other survivors, but the second I bring surgical sutures I do heals without facing skill checks at all.

I have also had the suspicion that the player's ability to hit the great skill checks is soemwhat related to the connection. Playing surv matches back-to-back I just cannot believe that my skill - literally -changes that much within 1-5min.

in several cases I wanted to scratch my nose and asked myself why skillchecks don´t go with right mouse button....

I'm 100% sure that leaving the gen while holding shift have an RNG that will may or may not explode the gen.

Nothing to do with skill-check though, because many time when I let off the gen without rushing I can hear the skill-check noise but then nothing happens. Unlike when I leave it while holding shift, the gen will explode without any skill-check notification.
