@@slaayerr1 Nah. I enjoyed getting angry at Starcraft 2, and trying crazy shit sometimes. It was enjoyable getting annoyed at team mates in Heroes of the Storm, and then out damaging them as a healer. You can enjoy a frustrating and stressful game. This game is just a fucking slog. If you're survivor the main components of your gameplay are running in circles, or staring at a generator. It's like a game where out of 5 players, only 2 are having any fun at a given point in time, the killer and whomever they are chasing. Video Horror Society tried to remedy that by letting survivors fight back, but they were so far up their own asses with the idea of copying DBD's awful design they couldn't shift gears and just make it an asymmetrical deathmatch instead of relying on long ass cooldowns that forced the monster to stand around whenever their abilities weren't up, so of course it died.

But yea, like don't get me wrong getting rid of 3 genning is a great thing and thank god it's gone away, buuuuut also lets not pretend like tapping a gen to render continued regression completely null wasn't also bullshit.... especially with how fast gens go nowdays anyway.

[@NameIsDoc]

Yeah can we get genrush nerfed now seeing that 3 genning wont be an issue any longer and survivors can basically bait out the 8 regressions thing easily turning the entire dynamic that longer matches are better for killer on its head.

[@Libellulaire]

@@NameIsDoc How can they "bait it out" ? Killer has full power over where and when they apply their perks. If the survivors are "baiting" you on damaging one generator too much it's on you for not thinking ahead, not on them ?

[@NameIsDoc]

@@Libellulaire During the PTB my friends and I tested a strategy and it worked. we would purposely get downed near gens we wanted the end game to be where surge would strike all those gens because we would just do 1% progress on them. End result due to surge alone we had 3 gens that couldn't be regressed at the end game. We also found other bugs and oversights in the code they didn't think about that we sent to bhvr. Some of which was patched (Huntress Lul/overcharge checks counting, Red Herring counting if the gen is already regressing) but some still exist doing things like popping a gen before Pain res to make a targeted gen eat the regression even though its only at 1%. Oppression in general being fucking useless as once it is found out everyone just watches the killer and tells them to hop off to let the gens all get a regression point. Edit: Couldn't we also say that survivors alowing a 3 gen to happen is an example of survivors not thinking ahead? after all you control what gens get popped right?

[@The_B_Button]

@@NameIsDoc You're normally right on that last bit, but Killers like Chess Merchant set out to make a 3 gen from the beginning, it doesn't happen naturally. Although, the system atm definitely has problems, Survivors now no longer need to care about which gens they do, which isn't good for getting a "fair 12 hooks" each game as Killer. This indirectly encourages tunneling to get someone out ASAP if you're not Blight Nurse Spirit or Wesker.

[@NameIsDoc]

@@The_B_Button that's my point survivors don't know how to play the game thus they unknowingly support changes that only create a more toxic environment. They want killers to be 12 hook killers but in turn use builds that let them genrush to the point you can pump a Gen out in 33 seconds. (Which is why I don't think the entire 3 Gen thing is anything other than survivors not thinking yes a killer can patrol an area but a) you've literally forced killers onto that back foot by removing all other ways to play the game and b) with the right builds which I see constantly all it takes is one halfway decent chaser and that 3 Gen is dead

You don't take a hit to save a pallet. You prevent being wounded as much as possible and play super safe to deny the killer any form of pressure. Also pallets or no pallets on that side they were doomed since anyway a Singularity can get rid of pallets pretty quickly (which is btw what KL did on his chase against Zaka.)

It's important to note that Knightlight didn't win a THREE-GEN, he won the MATCH; it just took a 3-gen to do it. Winning a 3-gen means stalling for either 60 minutes and getting the insta-win, or stalling until the survivors leave. Knightlight actually GOT the 4K victory within 30 minutes.

[@mrbrick8487]

8 regression events limit sounds harsh, but it's not that bad since entity blocking like Dead Man's Switch don't count as regression, but allow you to get a lot out of a single regression event, or slow the game down by forcing survivors to do something else than gens. The main thing is that 3-gen setups become a lot weaker so you're forced to play the game more aggressive, rather than defensively patrolling gens.

That was actually the optimal play for a tournament setting as you need to delay the first down as long as possible. This isn't a regular randoms game, these are people with dozens of thousands of hours in this game.

He played a whole lotta chess

[@floofzykitty5072]

Honestly no shade on Zaka but him comp dropping all the pallets next to each other at the start could have lost the game. I've seen comp players milk the worst, shittiest pallets in the game in desperate situations. Sometimes when you see them pre-drop every pallet people forget comp players can actually loop really well when they have to. Later on in the game you can see them actually use that rock pallet by the crane. What also wasn't mentioned is that the killer intentionally positioned the cameras so that multiple couldn't be in the radius of one EMP, really good spacing that is surprisingly tricky to get down.

[@nicane-9966]

the first chase is the most important one, why taking the risk of going down when you can make the killer waste a ton of time? besdies they were really close of doing it... thos pallets were gonna be lost sooner or later, good comunication made it so he didnt have it easy to down anyone with constant resets but in the end they didnt manage to break it despite being close...

Delaying hits at any cost early game is the best way to play in these situations. Zaka is probably the smartest DBD player there is, they got to 1 gen with 1 hook which is usually a great situation to be in.

[@floofzykitty5072]

@@notHens That's true in most situations but as mentioned at the beginning of the game you say so yourself he uses up all the resources in the 3 gen. 1. It's too early in the game to even KNOW that that's a 3 gen, but it's still a misplay to use up all the resources there. Not realising what the correct play is is still a mistake. Count how many times someone went down to Surge by the gens that could have brought precious time if they had a pallet to work with. The BEST play then was to try to make as much distance as possible away from the 3-gen and use the resources there. You know how strong holding W is away from the objectives, and it's also a valuable strategy in comp. 2. Because he was playing 3 gen singularity, it almost doesn't matter how many hooks he has at 1 gen. He is just trying to sit there and stall the survivors out while he pressures them into making misplays. Obviously the gamestate when they got to 1 gen didn't matter at all in this game except for the butterfly effect where there was one guy dead on hook pretty early into the 3 gen siege. 3. If you are making the argument that what he made was the correct play then what you are saying is that he could not have made a better play, that was the best play, but because that play had huge knock on effects later on he essentially didn't have a way to play correctly. This is straight up wrong because you KNOW from later on the singularity was not chasing people away from gens. If he held W away from the 3-gen he wouldn't have been chased and downed in the first place, but as mentioned earlier a wrong play you made because you didn't have enough information is still a wrong play.

Does pointing when you get hit actually do anything? In my experience the survivor is always finished the animation by the time I'm finished with wiping my blade.

[@Libellulaire]

Yes, it cancels the whole animation, allowing the survivor to instantly move (to for example reach a pallet and get pallet saved or reach the corner to waste more time.) It also might be the difference between them being picked up and crawling out at the gate. Their animation might be over by the time you're done with your animation, but it's almost 3s of them just wasting time in an animation, instead of them crawling.
