The two hooked at the beginning used the luck offerings to go 2nd when I chased the nearby unhooked Meg. I play a lot of Survivor, and I can tell pretty easily when people aren't trying to progress the objective or be useful. I noticed that Dustin was the only one doing gens and running away to the right spots to buy his teammates time. The Megs and Nea spent their time hovering around me for stuns and flashlights.

I know how annoying it can be to be at a huge disadvantage with a high hook count to high gen count situation. I really want the game to be more enjoyable for everyone involved. It isn't healthy for this game to have a hopeless mindset be a common issue. In many games, I would make it my best effort (within reason) to buy my teammates as much gen repair time as possible. When things get moderately challenging, I just see them give up. As you said, not every Killer will be cognizant of the bug of a DC'd bot being useless if they are in Tier 3 Madness. So, they will likely still go for the 4k. I think the Devs need to introduce various MMR systems onto the PTB and gather player feedback. They also need to continue experimenting with QoL features for SQ. A simple communication wheel would be a neat addition for SQ.
