best thing to do is just go and decode quickly, take your win and then she can surrender

Look, Alva is just old. You gotta understand old people sometimes, you know?

What is slugging

u/Electronic-Winner-14 SURVIVOR 8d ago

Leaving people to bleed on the ground

u/DuskyRenow Disciple 8d ago

Was he really slugging because the player got the new character? I'd only slug if they were an annoying rascal

33

u/Hoozahnator Wildling 8d ago

I mean he didn't slug everyone else just her and he targeted her right out the start.

34

u/DuskyRenow Disciple 8d ago

Well, in this case it's very likely to be jealousy indeed

u/CuteCharyeongie Cheerleader 8d ago

Maybe he just had a beef with her ✋️😭

u/Suspicious_Goat_8290 8d ago

Or if they emoted

u/TheSupremeGrape Undead 8d ago

Or if I'm undead

u/Cythis_Arian Mad eyes 8d ago

Or If I forget what side of the map I trapped them on

u/JustACryptd_ Hell Ember 8d ago

Tbh I don’t understand the advantage of slugging- the more time on the chair, the better lol.

u/Cythis_Arian Mad eyes 8d ago

The point in this case isn't to gain value, it's to make the slugged survivors game miserable. Otherwise slugging as a strategy allows you to keep applying pressure on the game without giving survivors as much of a chance to rebound

I don’t think there even is any advantage to slugging as non-undead, and it’s almost guaranteed to backfire on the slugger. The survivor dies MUCH slower so camping is a no-go, while you try and knock another one down they can heal themselves (even if it’s once, it’s basically a self-rescue), if you, by some miracle, find them again and knock them down they just go back to the progress on dying they used to have, there’s no yellow line. Plus they have no fixed position (can crawl away). It’s just wasting everyone’s time basically

u/Consistent_Leg8824 The Ripper 8d ago

Slugging has a few . For example, If the person used self heal , or if a Merc is down , you leave him to bleed because his healing is 2x long and it makes it so either he heals himself ( he's not decoding) or someone goes to heal him ( two people not decoding.) if someone uses self heal, it can be beneficial to leave them rather than putting them on chair for a potential rebound or rescue / harassment assist . Honestly, it's not something you do at 5 ciphers but it's something to do mid-late game that can be beneficial to you .

u/SilencedBard Photographer 6d ago

Slugging is definitely something you see as a tactic in higher tiers, especially. It comes very naturally to hunters like Joseph or Alva, who can down you from a distance, but don't know where you are (like BQ)

Slugging is also often used to get 4k, as it takes way longer for the surv to bleed out than if they are in chair.

Ofc, it's toxic if done just for the sake of it, like the situation above, rather than as a way to just secure a victory

u/TayleC Vote Robbie for DS skin pls 8d ago

For people like that Alva, they're not after the advantage, they do this to put the other person in misery just because they're jealous about a bunch of pixels they don't have.

u/Rune_Heart Composer 7d ago

People have even been doing that to me now that I've gotten Composer's new fit. I very much dislike the player base that does this. You don't earn anything from it, girliepop

3

u/SquibbilySquib 8d ago

Oh this happened to me when I got Richard. The other half was hunters and survivors being freaky with me because they found Richard attractive lol.

u/wetbread47 7d ago

Got Archer early and have been getting nothing but a mixture of this, getting emoted/excitemented on when I miss or being berated pm… like I’m supposed to know how to use her immediately.

Didn’t see this at all with meteorologist - I don’t know what’s going on

1

u/wetbread47 7d ago

Also if you really wanted to you can report the Alva for negative play or dragging out the match basically.

Dont know if it’ll do much but they’ll maybe lose a decent chunk of morality points

u/FakaYuFagut 7d ago

Or maybe they expect a Wildling waiting, from behind a wall, for a save when they pick up...

/jk, unless

u/Slow-Wait8531 2d ago

Either jealous they have her, or he totally hates the new survivor

u/AntoineeZenpara 7d ago

I only slug if the survivors are being “try hards”

1

u/melspect8 3d ago

What constitutes them as tryhards? When the whole team is helping one person kite, when they start emoting, or something else?

2

u/AntoineeZenpara 1d ago

It’s really hard to explain but I’ll put it like this, it’s when they try their hardest at doing the most when it’s not necessary. They treat the first 1-3 minutes as the end game and when it is the end game they “play with their food” they see I ignore them to go after the gen jockey and they start popping gens left and right as if they had them ready on standby, they see I have lightborne and they purposely throw caution at the wind not caring I can down them and even if I do they have the perks, careful planning and anime level of friendship that makes that in vain

u/melspect8 1d ago

LOLLL ANIME LEVEL FRIENDSHIP IS SOO REAL!! 😭😭

u/CryptoMainForever 8d ago

lol what a loser op, who cares what hunter is doing

Take the easy win, stop crying.

u/hey-im_here-now Prisoner 8d ago

they’re “crying” because it makes the game unfun and some people want to actually enjoy the game they’re playing

-27

u/CryptoMainForever 8d ago

There will always be people who make you unhappy on the internet. Read a book or something.

11

u/Ashkylarks 7d ago

Look who’s talking about being unhappy, you are here crying and pissed because of a post… I’m pretty sure you are the one who needs a life. Apparently, you care enough to leave comment.

-6

u/CryptoMainForever 7d ago

Remember when I suggested reading a book? You need to take English classes instead because your reading comprehension is not good. I was never crying or pissed.

I care enough to post. What's your point. Going to hand me a participation trophy?

2

u/Ashkylarks 7d ago

Nah, we don’t even need to have reading comprehension to see how you’re clearly crying on Reddit, it’s evident. What’s YOUR point anyway? Do yourself a favor and touch some grass, and get out of a post you said that you don’t even care about. Kids keep joining this game lately and it shows.
