When, if ever, do you give up?

Discussion

Just played a match as Scratched Mirror Myers on RPD. No hooks spawned in the library. Nancy and Claudette are the only 2 left and were healing in that very far corner with a totem. I charge up there, Claudette runs, but Nancy just stays there. I down her, hook and kill Claudette. Close the Hatch and Nancy gets up with Adrenaline but stays in that unhookable spot.

The game was lost for her. I had won. But she chose to wait for a 3 minute bleed out timer rather than go for another chase where I might have a chance of winning and hooking her. She chose, from hells heart to spit at me.

Now, this isn't to complain about a toxic Nancy. She made her choice, whatevs. My point is, do you guys think "Hatch is closed, the gates are too close/mobility killer etc. I can't win, plz hook me now?" Or do you defy the killer until the last?

I remember in a lot of matches when I was starting out, I was the last one slugged and I would look for a hiding spot. If I bled out rather than got hooked I was like "hah! I may have lost overall but I got one tiny victory out of that debacle". It was a test of my hiding vs their looking (Side note, I usually lost this test). And I always try to wiggle off, even if the killer wants to give me hatch. I want to play, not escape. That said, obviously I've suicided on hook, and stood in a corner as killer on occasion, but usually the game has to be a miserable experience, beyond just a losing one.

Thoughts?

If they wanna go someplace unhookable or hide and bleed out after hatch is closed, they can be my guest. I always have reading material ready for these moments. I don't have the will to deal with these kind of people. It's not even worth it. I'll forget their username mere seconds after the match anyway. I doubt anyone goes to bed and wakes up thinking "Goddamn that DeadHardFlasher69 for doing this and that!"

Woah! Reading the comments I see a lot of killers condemning the behaviour of crawling away and hiding.

I have always done this when I've been slugged and left alone. It's not because I want to deny the killer a hook, it's simply because it means the game continues for as long as possible while the killer tries to find me, which he does 80% of the time.

Sometimes I'm having fun, and I don't want to be hooked and have the game end, so I'll play til my last breath. It's actually a compliment.

I had someone do that very thing - but I picked them up and tested a route to the center and got them hooked on the second attempt. Screw that player for being a jerk. You lost, just move on.

Thinking that sitting in an unhookable spot to bleed out is some victory is just the epitome of bad sportsmanship.

It’s like grabbing the footballs and running out of the stadium. Like - you still lost. Now you’re just showing your ass.

Yes. I mean she didn't even do the totem right next to her when she popped up with Adrenaline.

HOWEVER! Thats not the point.

When do you give up

I don’t “give up” but I don’t play like a scumbag either.

As a killer, I usually don’t go to exit gates when open. Waste of time and players just want to gloat. So maybe then?

As a survivor, when a killer downs me and puts me on their shoulder - I’ll not wiggle and hopefully get mercy.

As a survivor, if hatch is closed and both exit gates are close together, I pretty much offer myself to the killer if I can’t open the gate.

As a killer I’ll chase until the last moment, only giving hatch to those that were farmed really badly or really good players.

Nothing wrong with staying on the ground and choosing to make the game as long as possible, but it’s boring and only affects the killer.

Its the risk you take when you slug

As a killer who almost always lets the last one go, I don't mind if a survivor sabotages my efforts and dies. At least I occasionally get a 4k. :P

I usally go for a last chase or i try to die from the endgame collapse and if possible on a cool spot. Like my favourite is the middle of the temple of purgation, on the golden thing. It depend if the chase is easy or not

Basically if I can't last more than 15 seconds in each of my chases. I just give the kill and move on.
