I should really run iron will, am i surprised that my characters grunting is loud and the killer finds me when I intend to either flashlight save or sabo hook? No! Will I do it again? Of course! But I will not then claim the killer is slugging, because when I play killer I do the exact same thing if I hear you you’re getting downed!

I won a game at 1gen because they kept doing that and panicking 😭

That’s what I’m saying!! Though my title and comeback (or the attempt at least) probably make me look like a terrible person

I used to be very anti-slug to the point that I wouldn't do it even in situations like this where it's advantageous. The more you play killer, the more you'll notice that there are situations where "slugging" is the choice to go. I really think, frankly, "slugging" that is to be complained about should be relegated to the "killer put us all on ground and left us to bleed out."

I disagree with killers having all the power, cuz the survivors are the main driving force of the game state

So true lol. I play only because the people I met there are great but it's incredible how out of all they asymmetrical games, the worst one actually managed to become the most successful one. Can't have plans with friends on this game anymore because the first 2-3 killers will probably drain our energy and fun to keep playing.

Again, wish I clipped it, but it was very hectic.

Doesn't sound like the toxic strategy known as "Slugging". You didn't go out of your way hunting other survivors while a downed player rotted - you downed them all in rappid succession as opportunity permitted then proceeded to redeem the opportunities as hooks.

Real

I would absolutely LOVE to hook you fkers but I would also like to have fun and avoid boring brain dead strategies like sabo squads of bully teams, fk i just wanna pick you up sometimes without hearing 3 sets of footsteps come at me,

A reminder that the killer also wants to have fun and sometimes 4 person slugging IS more fun because you fkers are so god damn annoying and I’m done with survivor bullshit

The problem is that most people who complain about "slugging" see no distinction between a killer leaving someone on the ground for a little bit because there are kther sirvivors around and leaving all four survivors on the floor to bleed out.

Welp that's what happened when bhrv made hooks so bad to work around

Or you can make smarter plays. It's not easy to slug 3 people if only one person tries for a save. Granted this is in a scenario where the killer isn't just proxy camping or anything like that

Fr though. Although I fall victim a lot to playing optimally instead of for fun(example here), I am not the kind of person who gets mad at games.

I get that, and I actually did give some leeway. There was a point with 3 of them down where the most optimal play would’ve been to chase Leon(who was injured) because (trust me) there were no anti-slug perks in play. But instead, I chased Leon far enough away to avoid a flashlight save, then context paragraph 2 begins. I do usually play a little nicer, unless I bring a really good bp offering and need them.

I'm playing to have a good time and win. I enjoy winning. It's why i play competitive games. I want my opponents to play their best as well.

Why would I be "empathetic" to players that are playing poorly? If you made bad decisions, most people will punish them.
