That Jill did more to get Bill killed than the killer did im crying

[@hallooos7585]

Jill felt a little goofy and did a little trolling 💀

[@AWaifuSimp]

That is unfortunately more common than you think. I had a Thalita do something similar, yesterday, It was us two left, she opened the gate, and while injured just stood at it for 40 seconds, while I was being chased by Skull Merchant, running around Borgo, and only left the second I got downed. I could have maybe found hatch, but nope she had to stand in the gate, while I got chased. Sometimes I think that no matter if you play Killer or Survivor, you're always against 4 other people, just playing as killer you can hit them.

i was watching my team after match, and it was a match against pig. yui had active trap on her and she was chased, and she could have make it to the hatch if nea decided to leave, but no she couldnt left because she had to tbag killer. omg i hate survs like this.

How could she say that was unexpected, when the portal was right there? As soon as I saw her roaming around the entrance of the gate, and not at the edge of the exit, I was positive she was going to get hit.

[@MagicWhatsItCalled]

I also love the fact that if she had started wiggling immediately she would have made it off because Bill threw the pallet down

[@chxlsxasmilx]

The tip for enjoying SoloQ, as depressing as it is, is to expect to lose. I recently got back into the game after a long stint of not playing and i found that i enjoy myself more when i’m unconcerned about the match outcome. It may be counterintuitive because you’re supposed to try to win and expecting to lose doesn’t mean i am deliberately unhelpful, I just try the best of my ability that also allows me to have fun. I also find it more enjoyable to listen to music and have the heartbeat thing on so that i can still determine the terror radius, taking the game less seriously makes it all the more fun.

[@sapphichoneys4189]

Honestly this. Even in Swf I simply have way more fun by actually playing. Sure it's sad to die especially if you feel like you earned the escape but what does it matter, you get BP and you can try again

[@aquila519]

This is so true. However sometimes my competitive side makes me forget this and I still get mad. It's a work in progress for me but I've found that this definitely helps.

[@chxlsxasmilx]

@@aquila519 Sometimes playing something else for a little while can help, i definitively get frustrated sometimes don’t get me wrong and i find it helps to play a singleplayer game for a little while before coming back. Or if you’re still in the mood for dbd switch the roles, but most of the time i just play the sims for a bit before coming back.

[@Axphire]

⁠@@aquila519i agree and same. being competitive and not wanting to get the worst case scenario for yourself still puts me in a disappointed mood and sometimes can get angry. however, one thing that never changed for me was being fine with dying for my teammates! i hated when teammates died for me when i would rather just take the death instead so they can live. even when playing with a friend or more, i always get upset BECAUSE they wouldn’t let me die for them. it really is a work in progress to care less about if you escape or not but the way for me to feel better is to feel like you’re sacrificing for a cause. if you have a chase for a gen or two or helped two people be able to heal and you still died, i’d be satisfied i saved them time before dying. last time i played, i played multiple soloq games with music in between yet im pretty sure (from my memory) that i died every single game. one can only take so much so i stopped but this is the only time i can guarantee “it gets better”.

[@aquila519]

@@chxlsxasmilx oh yeah I've done that too. I'm currently just barely getting back into DBD after like a 5 month break where I was playing other stuff. But the break was needed and I'm glad I took it

[@kimberlyterasaki4843]

Otz: Solo Queue may not be that bad. First game he shows: tunneled to death Second game: 3k due to tombstone and rancor and a very dumb teammate

[@Peachrocks5]

Yeah people crap on the Jill but the fact he was rescued extremely unsafely by someone in the first game isn't getting talked about much at all. Sure that didn't immediately kill him but it could have. You don't do that. The unhooker has to protect the hook victim from being tunnelled but so many people just go 'I see hooked survivor, I unhook, I get points whee1111!!!!'. It should be totally possible to refuse unhooks if anti camp would otherwise trigger because that's a large source of tunnelling. Survivors being thrown off hook against their will. Aside from them though the others were great. For most of us that stuff does happen but it's not very often. Just a lot of people doing tome challenges and takes 10-20 minutes to do all the gens.

[@keeperofthehammer6795]

Well if he showed us the games where the team was good the killer didn't tunnel and nothing crazy happened it wouldn't be a very entertaining video. Might as well just watch his twitch vods at that point.

​@@mooprph7198 If last 2 remaining and the killer has instadowns or you are injured with no way to heal, just leave. You can't bodyblock, nobody else in the map that could benefit from you buying time at the gate to help, no reason to stay. Giving hatch as an option for the other player is 100% the right play. With 3 or more, stay, maybe something can happen. Carefull of the instadowns though sometimes buying time at gate is all you can do. No sweat.

[@Enchanteddy]

Even as a duo, sometimes you get with solo survivors and its so hard. I keep thinking about one game, me and my duo went against a Billy who grabbed a person off of a gen 15 seconds in who instantly dc'd. The other solo survivor tried to unhooked the bot straight away, got chainsawed down by Billy and killed himself on hook. Billy then came to me, I pointed at the dead body floating up into the air, Billy nodded and let me and my duo just do gens and escape. In endgame chat, we had a short talk about how we were all unhappy with that game. Billy felt with us for having such teammates, we felt with Billy for not even getting to do anything.

Even had someone rage text me afterwards because they stealthed the entire time, and hid in the corner when it was last 2 and he hadn't been hooked. Had a lovely time with that conversation

[@Vgomes-go6ht]

Sometimes I feel like doing that as Killer but I can’t be bothered extending the game by 5-10 mins looking for the stealthy player. I’ll just take my 3k-4k and leave. But if the last player was the one that put the most effort in and wasn’t toxic I’ll let them open gates/give hatch

[@Immorchire]

Solo survivor has gotten so bad that as a killer main I feel bad for killing solos who tried their hardest to save their team when their team gave up or threw the match. It doesn't feel good to win that way.

That Jill is everything wrong with DbD players. That's the point where you message the person and bullet-point list every stupid thing they did and then block them so you never have to play with them again. That Bill was 100% inventing brand new swear words because existing ones were not strong enough. E: Oh my god the Kate in that Demo match. If I was that Demo I'd be ugly-laughing at catching that Kate. Holy lord. And you know the Kate was salty as _hell_ afterwards, as though she didn't have herself to blame. She could've left, she could've destroyed the portal. She had options and she picked the dumbest possible one. E2: No, I don't blame that Adam for doing archives. It's a Billy, solo queue sucks against him - they did before the buff too but it's worse now - dude wanted to get _something_ out of that match.

Blocking a player doesn’t actually mean you won’t play with them again, it just blocks their communications in game. I do agree tho those players were pretty crazy.

@@sirjoesphjoestar8361 hm I mean yeah maybe the number of times you get potato teammates is a bit lower but I got already matched with comp players (knightlight for example) while playing soloq. Like there is just no chance at all. I still get teammates that urbun evasion through the map at times. Teammates that let you die for no reason because they wanna get hatch or reset at the gate so the killer can push them out. Teammates that give up as soon as they see a nurse because the chances of winning against a high mmr nurse is even lower if you play soloq and so on. I am also pretty sure that otz played on high mmr as well. But again maybe matchmaking just messes with me. When I play killer it seems to work well for me most of the times.

This experiment has one fatal flaw - MMR, you're a great player getting matched with people who have a low chance of constantly blowing themselves up, running into killer, showing you to killer on purpose etc. Weaker players like myself get matched with complete vegetables way more often.

[@TheOnlyToblin]

If MMR is working as intended, you're also up against vegetable killers who can't run a basic loop.

[@Chodor101]

@@TheOnlyToblin I think we all know it's not. Correct me if I'm wrong but one match you get a person clearly new to specific killer, next is seasoned pyramid head. At the same time your team of 4 randos consists of you, a great team player, a great chaser and that guy you wish disconnected because bot would be better.

[@TheOnlyToblin]

@@Chodor101 Hence the "if" in my sentence. I play both sides pretty evenly and I see far more 3-4 man SWFs as a killer than I ever do as a survivor. I tend to end up with, at best, a duo. So yeah, soloQ is still quite a bit of a hit and miss, with mostly misses.

[@leonthegamer2839]

​@@TheOnlyToblinIf the survivors are a bunch of vegetables and the killer is a vegetable as well then the killer has the upper hand. Low mmr is heavily dominated by the killers. I mean if survivors dont actually loop, dont hug structures and dont look behind them while the others are hiding edge map as soon as they hear a faint tr the killer doesnt really need to do anything except for just followowing them. I mean isnt that the main explaination why weaker killers still have decent kill rates overall?

[@WutTheDeuceGaming]

Doesn't make sense considering it's easy to get into the top bracket of MMR. There are a ton of potatoes there. If you think high MMR is some sort of professional bracket, you're either naive or stupid. Do some research why don't you.

However, I don't believe I'm among the "High MMR" players - I consider myself intermediate, I've been playing since 2020 - and my data has been collected since 2021 and recorded in an automated spreadsheet created by me. In it, I have a record of more than 600 Survivor games, and more than 500 Killer games (all games that I usually play alone, on each side). My Escape Rate hovers around 43%, while my Killer wins (3 or more kills) are above 76%. I always found this data very interesting but never found a place to publish it. I'm glad you're doing this now! These are really great conclusions that we can draw from these data analyses.

Let this Jill be a lesson to any and all survivors out there: camping in the exit gates literally helps no one. It only hurts. Your team and, with certain killers, even yourself. Just leave.

[@leonthegamer2839]

Actually there is one scenario in which Jills behaviour might have been helpful. If Bill didnt go for hatch but instead tried to open the other gate it would have been actually useful trying to by more time (similiar to what nea did against the demo) I really dont think that was her plan though just generally speaking. Also sometimes it can be really great to run towards the gate while the killer is right after you and then your teammates run out and try to escort you to the gate so you actually make it. However that one obviously depends on a lot of things but still.

[@LittleKikuyu]

Yeah in some scenarios wasting the killer’s time this way or waiting to see if you can go back to help is a good thing imo. 😅

[@AlienFan25]

The only thing I'd wish people would do more often. Is just try. How does someone spend 2-10 minutes in que, just to leave after finding out the killer or map.

[@nat-uraldisasterpieces8647]

I tell people all the time. I'd rather have a baby Survivor teammate who at least tries. Rather than a "good" Survivor, but a Survivor with way too much of an ego/entitlement streak that they quit on first hook.

[@AlienFan25]

HOLY that last plague game was SO INCREDIBLY SATISFYING. Chad teammates fr, the Dwight and Gabriel clutched so hard

[@chrisvanegmond3157]

Just watched the first match so far but it's exactly why I love solo queue - yes you will get plenty of terrible teammates, but it feels so rewarding when you get matches where the team works together so well, especially seeing altruism from people towards complete strangers. The bad matches I kind of just shrug and accept as interesting anthropological studies, lol.

[@arcarc2663]

Since you started playing Deep Rock Galactic, the DRG community is basically the opposite of DBD solo queue. Everybody generally knows what to do, will work as a team, and supports each other with minimal communication. Some of it is indeed because it's PvE, but it also does a much better job of giving the players the tools to be able to just ping something and people will know what to do because it's better for both the individual and the team to work together. While still having tons of tricks that you naturally pick up on just by watching other more experienced people and seeing what they do without the consequences for mistakes or experimenting being instantly losing the game while being relentlessly BMed and abused. The DRG devs and the playerbase have done an amazing job fostering the mindset and creating an environment of working together and see it as a point of pride to be welcoming instead of abusive to more inexperienced players, which DBD could really take a lot of notes on, especially when it comes to tamping down ways for players to grief each other, since I caught some streams and I would disagree pretty heavily with a lot of the minor BM you called just little bits of goofing around and not toxic.

[@MythicTF2]

It's funny because in any game with a Solo Q mode (PvP or PvE) they've more or less fixed the issue of solo players being at a huge disadvantage. Literally all BHVR needs to do is add a chat wheel that has simple things like "I'm being chased!" or "The killer left me!" on it and boom, 90% of Solo Q issues are fixed. We don't even NEED VOIP. Just bare minimum communication with your fellow teammates goes such a long way, and it shows especially with DRG.

[@morganjacob1195]

The waiting on the killer to see you leave is a disease. Wtf Jill? Why are survivors like this?

[@arash9255]

It is absolutly normal, survivor try their best to win the match with very hard work, and with the low rate success for survivors they want to enjoy and annoy killer as much as they can, because success is very rare for them and if you include the tunnle and camp during the match, survivors have every right to annoy killer as much as they can at the exit game

[@morganjacob1195]

@@arash9255 yeah you about prove my point. They are little people who would rather tea bag and point instead of leaving so their teammates can get the hatch. Kids act the way you do

Wow another exit gate tea bagger loses because of it. That is two out of three games someone trying to troll the killer hurt the team. And gave the killer an extra kill.

​@@arash9255 lol, want to annoy a tunneler? Give the other guy hatch, that 2k will sting a lot more than you tbagging in the gate after you killing a teammate. The killer knows and likes what Jill did there 100% cause he didn't have to worry about anything but Bill, the gate and his 3k win.

I wish you could see your teammates perks before the match stars

[@kstarcstar]

Love not only your takes at the end but just how skilled you are. I have been playing for about... 2 weeks now and didn't think I would find the game as fun as I thought as I don't handle stuff with suspense (in this case the heart beating and chase music) all too well but surprisingly I can. Something I noticed and not sure if it's due to me still being new or not and how the match making works, but I've encountered that most players, new and experienced, tend to either focus on things that can harm the team's chances or actually do proper synergy even without coms. using myself as an example, I suffer a lot from just running straight but doing far worse with trying to look behind and running into stuff. I do manage to excel at focusing gens and hiding even in plain sight with most killers not noticing me or using the terrain to while hidden to scout out for the killer and rush to another gen. Um reason I bring all this up is that most or all players do tend to be either very focused on a single role or two (objective control and secondary rescuing people) or in the case of you are very versatile. problem is when your team doesn't have a certain or versatile player in the match is where it can go detrimental. One game I recall had two Dwight's and a Nea trying to distract me and rescuing but not waiting for me to leave the general area, resulting in the Fen Min they had to not only try to do gens by herself but had to try to bail out the other two (game ended with me letting the Fen go as she got off her hook when her and Nea were left so I took her to a gate and let her be the only survivor). So, there's definitely a lot of things that DBD does struggle with, especially since from what I encounter people either struggle to bait and loop or focus gens. One thing that I feel should be a feature added to the game would be to allow at least survivors see what perks they have since they can chat with one another, allow them to see what perks they are loaded out and see if anyone is willing to chat or choose what their approach is (as for the how will this feature present itself, have it be similar to the way perks are arranged in an actual match but smaller and over the heads of the survivors which will change with what they put in their load out). Though again play styles are another aspect that can make or break but least for versatile players this will allow them to build accordingly for the team. Also sorry for the wall of text just wanted to give a bit of insight even on a rookie's perspective to along with my own two cents on a feature that would be very useful if people pay it any attention. Anyway, sorry again and thank you to whoever read this, hope I made sense, and do have a splendiferous day/night yal.

Note, a killer disconnection rate of 3% is the same as a survivor disconnection rate of 12% per match, because that's still 3% per person times four people... Kinda, its actually more around 11.47, because its 1 - probability no one gives up... 100*(1 - 0.97^4).
