So is there just no winning with survivors at all? Like no hope whatsoever?
I queued up as Knight and after the first 20 or so seconds went by I found my first survivor who was standing out in the open waiting for me. IMMEDIATELY upon seeing which killer I was, they DC'd.
This disappointed me for multiple reasons:
1.) This wastes my time. I didn't queue up to chase bots.
2.) I actually enjoy the challenge of playing killer, and bots are not challenging.
3.) As someone who plays both sides equally, I know just how frustrating it is to have a teammate abandon you for the most petty reason.
So, after seeing this, I decided the match was forfeit (because where's the fun?), and tunneled out the bot while letting everyone else finish the gens and escape. I even took the time to do small chases without hitting them to let them know I was friendly.
ALL three survivors acknowledged this individually, and went back to repairing right in front of me.
Upon the last gen popping, I even opened the gate for them and let them pass me to escape.
When we got to the end game screen, I typed this in chat to let them know I empathized.
Then one of them had this to say... they disconnected after my last line here.
Honest to god, what could I have POSSIBLY done to garner this response?
I gave a free win, I was polite about it, and wished them well in chat, so what did I do wrong?
(p.s. Yes, I know I spelled "deserter" wrong. Rushed, panicked typing mixed with dyslexia is a hell of a drug.)
