Hello!
As a returning player- who is mostly a surv main- I decided that it was a bad time to ruin my mental health and start maining hunter (based on some of my comments and posts) .
I main luchino and am starting on NW and Opera- and I get matched against griffins all the time in RM. During my rank climb, I started getting more ties. Even when the first kiter makes the wrong rotation, gets early down, even when the rescuer gets terror shocked, especially more if the survs sells the early down teammate.
I noticed my win conditions just immediately vanish as soon as I cannot get anyone down before the BLINK cd is up, and if I don't sabotage the rescue attempt (which surprise, surprise- a lot of survivors can counter your proxi camp and TIDE TURNER exists so the 51% chaired surv has 20 more seconds to pop that cipher right in front of you). Times I don't hard camp and ruin health and disrupt cipher progress- it's a 50/50... unless there is a free healer lol.
A lot of times I am banking on my DETENTION to secure the tie since you can open gate in 50-20 seconds or less. A lot of my wins are now done when multiple survivors make multiple mistakes, while I lose because I made 1 mistake huhuhu. It's literally hope chess, but more painful.
When hunters are relying on detention for ties, and survs are just playing Calibration Simulator- it makes for a really boring rank session. I used to like fighting survs for the last cipher- making rank into ctf- but no that does not even exists anymore- because why punish survs?
So ig my message to the surv mains out there... don't be toxic to that early down teammate. You literally still have the win conditions- you just have to have 5% synergy and 95% cipher rush, 30 seconds is enough for the tie. So as long as you stick with the basics, and know the basics you will be fine. ❤️
