  It is the primary objective of survivors to repair generators so they can escape. It is the job of the killer to interfere, and it is on everyone involved to adapt to the challenges presented to them. If a coordinated team manages to finish all the generators in a very short time it can be frustrating, but nothing unsportsmanlike has necessarily occurred. Playing against such a team can be not very fun, but it really seems more of a matter of application of skill and knowledge of the game, as well as differences in how people want to play, rather than any sort of inherently unfair strategy. I understand it can feel discouraging or interfere with the power fantasy of playing killer, but no one is owed the other team playing worse.

  That being said, I do think the devs making changes to keep generators from being done so quickly is a healthy adjustment for the sake of keeping the game more fun! I just don’t believe that survivors doing the very best they can (short of hacking and exploits, of course) to complete their primary objective is unfair or poor sportsmanship in any case. In my opinion, “genrushing” is indistinguishable from just playing the game very well.

  All that being said, am I gonna groan a little when I play against a team of extremely meta builds and super good toolkits with brand new parts and additional charge addons? Sure, but it’s a question of fun rather than fairness. Ultimately, like all matches it’s an opportunity to sharpen my game knowledge and efficiency as best I can, and it feels great to successfully counter a team that’s that well-prepared when the stars align. :)
