The survivor mentality in solo (rant)
Stuff I dislike either about solo survivor, what survivors do and or what i dislike about the mentality of survivors in general :
#1: Complaining about NOED. This is my number one issue with survivors and its one of a "particular mentality" There are those (survivors) that will message you and or complain in some form or another about the perk Hex: No One Escapes Death and its irritating, annoying and embarrassing (as a hardcore competitive gamer) when i see this. What i say to this is "Stop gen rushing and do totems" especially if a killer has no Corrupt, Undying/Ruin. Stop being entitled and having a "spoiled brats" mentality stop rushing the gens and take time out to do the totems theres no excuse and stop whining about this! You have the perk Small Game and the Rainbow Map (with the good addons) Moresover I personally dont think NOED is that good but thats my opinion and im convivcted by it because of the reasons, mentioned above. The most NOED will do is get you a down and MAYBE a kill and not more than that. Its very similar to Blood Warden in this manner except you get a 5% speed boost with NOED which is perfectly fine.
#2: Survivors that do far gens first: Please for the love of me any survivor that plays solo and reads this thread please stop doing the first gen you see and have a plan that will benefit the "team" Doing the first gen you come across and not middle gens (which is hard to do at first i get it) because it will payoff in the longrun as your splitting the killer up in distance with far opposite gens. In most cases when i play games i will personally always do the middle gens first then work on the far ones as to ensure that we dont get 3 gen'ed which as many know extremely hard to escape at that point because killer mains like myself have a long thought out plan with a 3 gen strat and can care less about whats happening on the other side of the map ie they're map awareness is very high.
#3 Doing gens with Ruin & or Undying/Ruin up: Solo survivor can be tough and it only makes it harder when people are commiting to gens (most of the time far end of map gens) with Ruin still up only for the killer to come to them and they're progress starts regressing at 200%!!! 200% that's big unless your swf but this is not about swf at all, im talking about solo survivor. Personally 90% of the time i'll look for Ruin if its up and will not touch a gen and this is because of the reason mentioned above. I hate it when i commit to a gen only to either the killer coming where im at or a survivor brings a killer to the gen that's being worked on and that is just bad! I dont know about anyone else but i commit to looking for Ruin and sometimes my team is going down because they're staying on gens and not looking for Ruin as well so im usually the last one left because people are really not fit to survive because they do questionable things. Solo survivors : LOOK FOR RUIN, UNDYING/RUIN FIRST PLEASE!!!If you escape the trial with Ruin still up its because the killer wasn't pressuring good enough and or didnt have a plan (3 gen strat etc)
#4 Body Blocking/Trapping fellow survivors: There are times when i say out loud MOVE and most of the time in my head but its something thats pretty frustrating that survivors do. Either in the way and being oblivious to whats going on, standing at a pallet or window etc or doing a totem and getting blocked in by X survivor even if they're just playing around. This wastes my time and gets the killer closer to me whereas i would have gained distance which is extremely important in this game so i dont like when survivors do this even if they're meming.
These are just some personal pet peeves of mine that i'd thought i'd share. Did i cover the main issues with survivor, is there more to be looked at? Please if theres anything you dont like about "solo" survivor post it here even if your venting or ranting, i welcome that here! )

It is infuriating when you’re team attempts to power through a ruin tinkerer blight only to die at 4 gens and call ruin OP
Lol Yeah this is exactly what im talking about, thanks for bringing this up! People will try and power through the gens only to find out that the killer is good and it doesnt work. 90% of Blights run Undying/Ruin/BBQ/Tinkerer so i dont understand why you would want to "not" look for Ruin against a top 3 killer lol. That is insane to me. Smh people man!
I don’t agree with #3 at all. If every survivor avoids gens and runs around the map looking for totems, the game is at a complete standstill. It’s a terrible feeling when one survivor is being chased and buys enough time for people to do gens, only to be hooked and see their entire team running around like headless chickens looking for a totem.
Just check the totem spots near where you spawn and cleanse the ones you find. If it’s not Ruin, hop on a gen. When you move around the map, check the other spots. If all survivors do this you’ll probably get two gens done and find the totem before long anyway.
The problem with this is that if you run into a killer like myself who hit and runs and patrols gens when Ruin is up your back to square one which is "Ruin is still up" I run BBQ most of the time so im always gonna have info. What usually happens is I down a survivor (as a rank 2) with Freddy and i teleport to that gen being worked on, the survivor is now off the gen and i have the auras to know if other gens are being worked on and while someone is hooked or downed (slugged) as well. I can care less about a gen or even 2 getting done with Ruin still up because my pressure is OD and Ruin (Undying/Ruin) is THAT strong. So what you suggest/state is not a long term plan but a short term one and once again a killer main like me will exploit your team easily
