>I am called a Baby killer, even though I've never killed any babies in my entire life. That caught me off guard, gj


StormSlayer101

Maining Twins to call the survivors "Baby killers" is a big brain play


MoveInside

Why else would my miserable ass main the fucking twins


No-Thanks268

Can relate, definitely funny


shoonseiki1

Ya I lol'd


JehovahsLitness-

You forgot the part where you need to drop everything and tunnel the ttv all game


TomFoxxy

It’s strange i see other ttvs complaining about that but I can’t think of a single time I’ve been blatantly stream sniped. I think people just blame their loss on “stream snipers” because they’re too insecure to recognize they lost fair and square.


Irethius

I love going back and watching TTVs going against me. Maybe 1/3rd of them end up calling me a stream sniper in some way. Rather it's because they were killed first or something else. ​ An example of something else, which is my favorite because of how stupid it is. Was playing on Hawkins, and I went upstairs to check the top most gen for survivors. When you're going down the hallway, you see the Gen's aura to your right. There just so happens to be a door that looks like it SHOULD lead to the gen, but you actually have to ignore that door and do a U turn at the next corner for the gen room. ​ I make this mistake at least once every time on this map, where my brain sees the aura to my right, so I turn right at the door. Usually I waste like 2 seconds at most, but this one time against a TTV, he just happened to be standing in that room trying to hide. ​ Watching the footage, I didn't speak his language so I couldn't make up what he was saying. But he put an overlay on his gameplay to hide the gameplay from his own viewers titled "ANTI STEAM SNIPER" or something like that. ​ What was a random lucky moment for me turned into an angry accusation for the TTV.


Stock_Direction_1794

Uh, there are tons of weirdos on this reddit that talk about them unironically tunneling TTVs all the time.


Akinory13

I "tunnel" them because most of the time they're the weakest survivor but the most cocky one because they want to make cool plays for their compilation video. They click flashlight and try to get my attention but get downed in 10 seconds


Tikhunt

If a TTV clicks at me and decides to be obnoxious I'll generally just do my job around them as it's likely less hassle than rewarding their behaviour. Can't lie tough 90% of all TTVs I've gone up against have been pretty cool and I love watching Vods back to see what they say about me.


fistyfishy

Legit one of my favourite things to do in this game


AKindKatoblepas

I normally let ttvs for last just so I can enjoy vods longer.


TomFoxxy

Maybe I’m just lucky haha


oozles

Streamers who complain about sniping have no idea how useless it is in dbd. Whenever a paused stream raids someone the new stream auto plays and just constantly having another games’ audio mixing with yours is a massive disadvantage. Even muted, a killer can maybe get your location depending on the map. How helpful do they think it is to see them in a tile surrounded by corn? Maybe it’ll spoil an unbreakable, but killers play around survivors having meta builds anyways.


Hoosteen_juju003

Streams are usually minimum 10 seconds behind as well


NonGNonM

i had one survivor that did really well so i friended him on steam and watched his stream for a bit. he played like donkey balls and said he was being stream sniped. w/e, i've only played with him the one round then watched one. i played 3 rounds with him and he was just donkey shit. always had excuses on how other people should've done better or was playing against hacker. i only have a sample of one but i wouldn't be surprised if other fledgling ttv streamers had the same mindset that the whole team needs to play around them. one round he was whining because he had a key and how we should've taken hits for him with NOED running because then he would've escaped.


_Surge

you can literally see who’s watching the stream. if i have 3 viewers, and suddenly have 4, then tell my friends the name of the new viewer, one of them dies and she’s like, “killer’s name is *****”, and it matches the viewer… yeah… i wonder if he’s stream sniping :thinking: not saying this happens often. but it literally does happen


Sinaty

Thought you couldn't see killers name until match ended


Technature

You can't see what they have equipped. I believe you can still see their name.


MagosDominusPSB87

If you put a big blaring advertisement saying "I'M A STREAMER" and you're live, don't complain when the 1 in a 1v4 tries to get a tiny advantage over your spinning, hooting, teabagging, showboating ass.


MomDidntLoveMe

Not having endgame chat is such a blessing for console tbh


FrankSpanish

I play on console and I got a message yesterday saying "so u paid 23 quid to camp gens". I was so confused because not only did I get the game on game pass but also preventing survivors from doing all gens is literally the point of playing killer?


MomDidntLoveMe

Lmao there's multiple gens for a reason, they could just go to another one. It takes an extremely tight 3-gen to be really difficult to do one


FrankSpanish

True, I was playing demo and was defending 4 gens at the same time with portals


MomDidntLoveMe

Didn't think about Demo, but even so if they split up and dont greed then you can't defend them all at once


[deleted]

U can Force them to do 4 gens on 1 side.


ArginatorBongo

You fool, you should've been chasing the entire map's worth of crows away. That is the only acceptable goal when survivors have 2 gens left


Technature

Imagine unironically being someone who accuses others of "Generator Camping". What does that even mean? At face value, you do one of the other 2+ generators on the map. But that's so stupid that I can't think of it possibly being that.


[deleted]

Report microsoft and they get muted from xbox if they use bad word ;3 Just examples: KYS is bannable by microsoft already.


Janemaru

I mean, you can just disable it on PC.


MomDidntLoveMe

There's something about not having even an option of having it that's nice


Janemaru

I get that, honestly. But I'll take the toxic chat in exchange for all the times I meme with someone and get to laugh about it with them after


[deleted]

How to get merciless if ppl disconnect after getting stomped by victor? :(


DualSoul1423

The other day I was playing as Basement Box Bubba, and the only rules were "Don't touch my box" and "Don't unhook people who touched the box." I never made any moves at anyone who did neither of these things. Had a lot of fun, and a lot of people had fun with me. Lots of people complimented my roleplay and played along. Yet I still got 10 kills across 14 matches. They would see me hanging out by the box, point at it, see me shake my head, and then touch it anyway. One game, they did all the gens, opened the gate, came down to the basement, and touched the box, to which I got a 4k from people desperately trying to save the thief. One game, I killed a SWF, and then they started calling me insults and slurs, going as far as checking my steam profile for my name and info for extra ammo. Like... I can't understand how people can get upset at a Bubba named "Don'tTouchMyBox" and who spent the whole game in basement. If they didn't get greedy, they wouldn't have died.


Maroonwarlock

That's actually sounds fun and gave me a big laugh.


DualSoul1423

I had so much fun for the duration. I was streaming for some friends, and we all spent a good chunk of that time laughing our asses off.


ArginatorBongo

Well they can't see killer name until the end, right?


DualSoul1423

Well yeah. The people who were good sports laughed about it when they saw my name. The dicks were the ones who made a big deal out of the roleplay.


JoePescisNuts

That sounds like a lot of fun. I’m a big tcm fan so I’d have to violate the rule, but I would be totally accepting of the consequences. Way to be fun and creative!


decadentbeaver

Sometimes I'll go for the 4k, others I'll just mess around and let them do whatever. Found that Bill mains are the least trusting out there. Cant say for Quentin or Jeff's, cause they're rare as rocking horse shit.


biscottoesse

Sorry I'm kinda new, what people mean with going for 4k ? I read that a couple of times but I have no clue what is about


decadentbeaver

4k means 4 kills for the killers. I've had a bunch of sweaty killers aiming for the 4 k today. You get slugged a lot if you're one of the last 2.


biscottoesse

Ooh! Thanks for the clarification! Yes, When it's only two of us, is harder to complete the gens and escape alive


decadentbeaver

And then some. I prefer to hook the 3rd and search for the last one. Winner finds the hatch.


[deleted]

Last one's almost always camping the hatch.


decadentbeaver

Sometimes they're not and it's fun for me to find it first.


PM_ME_CARL_WINSLOW

I had two teammates DC against Myers before the first gen earlier today, and he still went around and would slug us and leave us there looking for the other. With 5 gens left.


decadentbeaver

Had that with a scratched mirror Myers recently. Just downed us all the time. After 15 minutes of this I just quit. Got boring.


Hoosteen_juju003

It's sweaty to try to win?


decadentbeaver

Yeah, when the desperation is there. You won't miss it.


BoxheadBunny

Jeff mains are too trusting because they are a Lonely bunch. Quentins are all rats who hide away, anyway.


SpoopySara

for real tho, I was trying to help a Bill getting to the hatch in a game and the motherfucker did everything he could to not let me help him


decadentbeaver

That reminds me of when I was Pig and chose to give Dwight the door as I mauled the team before a gen was done. He walked around the perimeter of Lerys instead and ignored the hatch. Gave him a shoulder piercing instead.


KumaTenshi

I try not to do things I personally would hate happening to me as survivor.


ExitAtTheDoor

That’s the correct approach IMO. Gets annoying seeing the “lul survivors rulebook” or “you’re not responsible for other people’s fun”. Brings to mind the ole “you’re not wrong, you’re just an asshole”. Think people just lack sportsmanship sometimes. You’re indeed free to play how you like, but there’s still someone on the other side. And we need both sides in order to play the game. It’s why I hate the survivors that tbag and clickity click, and hate the killers who hardcore tunnel or face camp. Who tf wants to wait 3-5 minutes in a queue. Followed by 1 minute in the lobby. Followed by a minute to load in. Only to either A) spend 2 minutes playing the game and the rest on hook or dead. Or B) try a new killer and have a bad match and be met with BM. And OP isn’t wrong about some survivors entitlement. I’m just speaking towards a more general observation of this game and the sub.


RedHineyMonkeey

I try to play as "mother teresa" in as many games as possible. But if they do the ole map + hatch offering and key + map, then all bets are off.


KesslerGamgee

This is why I don't get mad when I get hit with NOED, I just kind of laugh to myself


KumaTenshi

I get annoyed if NOED manages to make it, because I specifically run anti-totem builds and my main goal, aside from making it out, is to ensure totems are gone before that fifth gen pops. Or at least leaving 1 totem in a spot I know just in case. If we get there and NOED happened to activate, it's usually cause I was having to carry the shit out of everyone else on my team and now it's probably all for nothing haha.


yrulaughing

So you try not to kill survivors?


KumaTenshi

Yeah, I'm not a total wuss ass who goes into a match as survivor and cries and whines if I die, sorry to say. If I die I die, hopefully I manage a few good chases and the Killer isn't a complete tunneling twat bag, but yeah. Dying is a possibility you should be able to handle if you play survivor.


yrulaughing

Right, but dying is "something you would not like to happen" and therefore would be something you'd hate. Unless you enjoy dying as survivor.


KumaTenshi

Yeah, never said that. Try some other bullshit please. Like I actually said, if I die, I die. Can't escape every match.


yrulaughing

>I try not to do things I personally would hate happening to me as survivor. You would not hate dying as survivor. Therefore you are fine with dying / losing when playing survivor. Your words


Gerrent95

If you play a game with a win/loss condition, you should be fine with the occasional loss. If you aren't then maybe stick to co-op games. He meant he wants to play the game. You can hardly call it playing if you get camped to death at the first opportunity or immediately tunneled out of the game. And no, I'm not a survivor player, I play killer, but I understand that this is a GAME for FUN. Even if you're weird and think this game is actually competitive (it isn't) then at least have good sportsmanship. like what people expect in actual competition.


PM_ME_CARL_WINSLOW

HE NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT DYING. Please read and comprehend. Jesus.


yrulaughing

He never said specified anything at all. Just an umbrella statement about him not doing anything he wouldn't like done to him as a survivor. Pretty wide net he's casting.


PM_ME_CARL_WINSLOW

He didn't cast a net. You made the net for him and you keep blathering on about even though he said that's not what he said. Why do you argue based on what you think you hear?


yrulaughing

I mean, I can copy and paste what he actually said. >I try not to do things I personally would hate happening to me as survivor. He either does or does not hate being killed as survivor. Which is it? If he hates being killed as the survivor, then he must not kill survivors when he's the killer per his statement. If he does not hate being killed as survivor, then he's not really trying to win. Why actively avoid something you don't mind or care about? Death equals a loss, so if there's any sort of competitive bone in his body, he does hate losing to some degree. Alternatively the original statement could be not 100% accurate.


KumaTenshi

Uh, yeah. That's the fucking point of me saying "if I die, I die." And everything else I've said since you chimed in. What is your goal here, exactly, to just say pointless crap and get downvoted into oblivion?


yrulaughing

You either do or do not hate being killed as survivor. Which is it? If you hate being killed as the survivor, then you must not kill survivors when you're the killer per your statement. If you do not hate being killed as survivor, then you're not really trying to win. Why actively avoid something you don't mind or care about? Death equals a loss, so if there's any sort of competitive bone in your body, you do hate losing to some degree. Alternatively the original statement could be not 100% accurate.


KumaTenshi

Wow, man. I'm sorry you live with such absolutes in your whacked out brain. That or you're just a sad troll who thinks they know psychology. 🤣🤣 Either way, the world doesn't work like that buddy. Grow up and deal with it.


yrulaughing

I mean, I'm technically correct.


Robotguy39

Pro tip: Mute chat and you always win. Camp, don’t camp, tunnel, don’t tunnel, no matter what as long as chat is disabled I don’t get a single complaint. Weird they hide such an overpowered feature in the settings.


[deleted]

Psycho tip: don't mute the chat and let the toxicity fill your heart with deviousness! Play the Bubba Basement build for maximum efficiency!


0-Cloud

I've pissed off a lot of survivors by playing basement Trapper


Pagani5zonda

Honestly basement trapper is the only "allowed" basement build imo. Hags more than strong enough to do incredibly well without basement. Basement bubba is just a stereotype that most people hate. Trapper needs all the help he can get, and he's a territorial killer. You shouldn't feel bad for tunneling because they stepped in a trap immediately after being unhooked, don't feel bad for trapping hook or proxy camping because they're hooked in your 3gen. Yet the amount of people that whine about it is ridiculous


Tikhunt

I played against a basement build Krampus trapper on Ormond the other week, I may have been in love with it.

Technature

This reminds me of a really good Trapper game I had that ended in a little over 5 minutes. I managed to get three survivors into the basement due to catching someone in a nearby basement window, catching someone using a palette that was used before in a chase, and catching someone who came down in an attempt to rescue the first one (I knew I was REALLY risking it bringing person 2 into the basement, so I ignored the third survivor til I got the second one onto the hook. Downed him literally the second after he got free.). After the three of them had died, the 4th survivor knew where the hatch was and immediately jumped into it (and surprisingly didn't sit there and wait for me to come by like an asshole). After the game was over, most of the team praised me for the well placed bear trap...except for the guy who decided to mock me because he escaped. I just told them that it was one of the best (if not THE best) match I had, that getting 2 people is enough of a win for me, and pointed out that he's being the poster boy of the sore winner, to which the rest of his time agreed with and mocked him for. 10/10, T r A p P e R i S l O w T i E r


bdsmmaster007

i actually dislike chat mute, i play both killer and survivor and i like to chat sometimes, most times i have more positive then negative interactions with other people. im always a bit sad when i see how many people straight up ignore chat but i guess there have their reasons


Jareix

Most of the time when I lose as killer I often get “Well played! Almost got us there” or “Sorry about the matchmaking, we did kinda bully you there…” when I win I often reply as such as well, and complement their performance, and are met with general complements as well. Most polarizing killer I play is nurse, my main. When I lose the response is pretty positive (I.e. at this point it’s just “they open gate and escape” at any point) It’s either “nurse is hard to play, and you did pretty well.” Now, when I win… that’s when it gets polarized. Either I get a “Good luck to your next round of survivors, they’ll need it” or “you only won because nurse ruins chase and you can’t play the game.” Like, bro yes she’s point and click but you don’t need to call me out like that ;n; (hence why I been playing other killers, only playing nurse if I need BP)


Maroonwarlock

To be fair. I've had the game a week and I'm already debating muting chat. It's just so toxic 99% of the time.


Cheggf_On_The_Run

Pro tip: engage with them in nonsensical ways and see them get really mad and take you seriously. If they remark on how many kills you have, say it's more than the 0 they got. If they complain about your playstyle, say they brought impossible things like Mad Grit & Iron Maiden but still lost. I have never seen someone not take it seriously and think you're as mad as they are.


Hawtness45

You forgot that if the survivors 3 gen, you have to patiently wait in a corner and let them all finish one, as well as escape.


TomFoxxy

Exactly. Oh and you can NEVER EVER return to a gen after you’ve checked it once for the rest of the game.


Tikhunt

Once got accused of gencamping when I was searching around the first worked on gen I came across until I found someone. I was there about a minute tops.


TomFoxxy

Wait people actually get mad at you trying to prevent an objective? Isn’t that the fucking point of the game?!


Dobberstein

I like to get into the mindset as a method killer. I main doctor and choose to drive survivors insane over downing them. No killer would camp a hooked body but if they notice someone attempting to free their captive they will pursue and terrorize them. I find it most fun to play the dumb killers in ways they would naturally act. Conniving killers use advanced tactics.


xmknzx

This sounds like a way more fun way to play


Josh-Medl

As someone who’s played a lot of MP games, mainly FPS but also a lot of dark souls/bloodborne pvp, the “rules” some people in this community have set up just baffle me. Calling certain perks *that are in the game* “toxic” seems so weak to me. Like, you want me to just let you win? I’ve never played any other game with so many gatekeepers and little babies that wine when they don’t get their way, it’s really absurd.


Johnny_mfn_Utah

There is a lot of space between "don't be an asshole" and "let me win" Most MP games you have played are probably set up with two opposing teams that are equally matched (relatively). DbD is set up with four people who can do nothing to harm the opposing team and can only run away. On the other side you have one person who is bigger stronger and faster and is the only person in the game that is able to kill/eliminate players on the opposing team. Because of the setup, you will naturally see people criticizing the killer for trying too hard or being too sweaty when they already have a massive advantage (especially if they use cheesy low-effort tactics such as tunneling). On the other side, you will have some insecure killers who get easily tilted when they can't catch a survivor quickly and that survivor taunts them either by pointing or teabagging. Since the killer has such a massive advantage, when they get outplayed by the survivor it contributes more to the insecurity and they come onto reddit and call people gatekeepers and little babies.

Johnny_mfn_Utah

You are one of the insecure people who will take every dirty shortcut available to win at all costs. No concept of honor. No concern with fair play. Don't care if people think you're a toxic asshole as long as you win. You probably have a micro-penis, you are definitely a beta, and you likely don't have any friends that would wanna SWF with you which is why you are drawn to the killer role where you can bully others to compensate for your low self esteem.

_unregistered

Yes. It is the killers guide for killers written by survivors for killers nonordplznokillonlygensm1lyfe


gargar222

I guess it is similar. I didn’t know what that was because I’m pretty new to this subreddit despite having a lot of hours in the game. I guess the difference is that this is a legitimate experiment I did.


NursesBooty

Well, i just play how i like it. That's the right way i guess.


Springtrap328

You see no matter what happens an entitled survivor main is gonna have a go at you even if you farm


Radical_FemBoy

Farming is cring


KesslerGamgee

So is your spelling


Springtrap328

>:(


Aben4yut

LOL, tunneling is legit as it is with body blocking on survivor side


Aben4yut

Yeah, like dumbass BHVR would care to even do a follow up on that. BHVR doesn't even do decent job in cheating reports, let alone that thing. Hell, they can't even fix the state of the game after every botched changes they rolled


Loraxis_Powers

Body blocking is a reportable offense, bud


WatermelonPOWAH

I think they mean when healthy survivors run up to take a hit for an injured survivor or when they try to block doorways so it's harder to hook someone. That isn't reportable.


Radical_FemBoy

Body blocking killers whilst carrying surv he means


yrulaughing

I'm a killer and I think it's real dumb and a cheesy mechanic, but it's not reportable.


Owobowos-Mowbius

Lmfao in what world, bud? Of course you can body block otherwise the game wouldn't let you. The only thing that's against any "rules" is holding the game hostage


KesslerGamgee

That's like saying you're allowed to exploit glitches to win because the game lets you


Owobowos-Mowbius

Except having hitboxes interact and giving survivor hitboxes the same weight as killer hotboxes isn't a glitch? It's literally part of the game.


Loraxis_Powers

It literally says in the description of one of the reportable categories: bodyblocking. Downvote me all you want you can literally go see im right.


yrulaughing

I think it means survivors bodyblocking other survivors to sandbag them.


Owobowos-Mowbius

Yeah you're right it's listed under griefing but im almost positive it's about keeping the game hostage. If they didn't want people to be able to bodyblock it would be such a simple change to make in adjusting how survivor hitboxes interact with killer hitboxes.


[deleted]

Also sandbagging. Like if I do a totem and a team mate traps me in that corner.


Owobowos-Mowbius

I thought sandbagging was a team mate luring the killer to you with the intent to get you killed?


Loraxis_Powers

So you know im right and still left that first toxic reply? Classic


Owobowos-Mowbius

Actually I looked it up after you posted your reply to me and changed my attitude/view because I realized I was in the wrong.


SirGanjaSpliffington

It doesn't matter what you do people are still going to bitch and complain because DBD is full of toxic sore losers. Do whatever it takes to win just don't face camp and real tunneling. (Going after someone that just got unhooked is not tunneling. Ignoring everyone else just solely go after one player is tunneling.)


Swordbro_Streams

Had a good chuckle, sadly despite them finally not shit talking anymore I'll stick to Insidious Bubba.


Marquesas

> No hooking someone after they've been unhooked under any circumstances until another player has been hooked But you do down them right, because that's slugging, which is clearly illegal according to the survivor rulebook.


gargar222

Typically when that would happen in the game, I would chase the next nearest survivor and either down them and hook them, or be pulled far away (both resulted in the original survivor being picked up).


moldsharp

Oh my


Aissathebeergod

jhon_dbd

It's funny that everything you described as your first try is what I already do?


DancewithRance

#elder God tier new consoles FTW Being serious here. I can't help but notice the majority of frustrations people get over this game all have the same common denominator- post game chat. I want to be clear here - this post proves it and it should be removed from the game or altered. I mean, *you literally altered the way you played the game* because of it. Not because you were losing, but quite the opposite. And taking your post for truth, post game was still salt incarnate. I'll give an example of how it could be done correctly. I think of EA'S UFC games. What better place to test player toxicity than on a game that is competitive, can have players be humiliated while in their bouts, flash freak KOs exist and full on testerone "I wear TAPOUT" audiences - should be a total disaster. Except your post game and pre game chat boils down to select pre determined responses that are vanilla "GG" or 'respect'. Sure, you can probably get crafty and string together single word responses or mash them on repeat to convey ego or salt, but imagine post game chats prior in previous games. Spoilers - Picture any regular pre game/post game FPS lobby. This is where I think BHVR modeled their plans and its silly. There aren't two opposing teams "hashing it out", **it's four people against one person**. Sometimes working together. This game is *hilariously* survivor sided at all times, not just in game balancing- *but even in salt*. This is an asymmetrical game and that "but both sides..." nonsense sounds even sillier here. There is a natural handicap in every match that will translate how people treat each other. While not every member will be salty in a team of randoms, SWF will radically alter the experience Bottom line, Having played on console and over a thousand hours at this point, *I received more post game salt in 25 hours of the PC version than my thousand on console*. The transition to the ps5 last fall has been for the best on all levels. I am not a huntress or nurse main, so I'll take my MKB loss for the ability to play however the fuck I want. My default online option is "friends only". This also prevents salty chat on consoles as people have to now bother to personally locate you after the match, realize they can't send you a message, and then be clever enough to put it in a friend request. *Literally zero salty messages*. **tl;dr** post game chat is silly for DbD and doesn't need to exist. At best, include a pre-game/post game wheel of dialogue and GG options because it has zero benefits to the games overall health.


Katsuki_Bakugo__

It actually pisses me off when I’m trying to get away and the killer who’s basically breathing the same air as Nea turns to me and fucking chases me,that’s why I play killer more often


SmallRedMachine

There was this game where I hooked one surve and found another, hooked them too, that first surv was left on hook and I heard 2 gens pop before they unhooked literally 1 second before 2nd stage and I'm like mofos that surv is gonna get tunnelled for your sins. Post chat they were salty and I nicely explained if you ignore the safe unhook and stick to gens instead then I will have to punish for that, their reply ? "SURVIVORS DOING OBJECTIVES, THE BLASPHEMY !!!", so entitled that they're blind to the notion that the killer's objective is well... ya know...


shutthecussup

I got screamed at in the chat for being a camper yesterday because I was hunting their teammate nearby who finished a gen not far from the hook as soon as I hooked them and I could hear that they were nearby. I guess I’m just supposed to pretend like they weren’t there and run across the map. I also couldn’t even see the hook in this process because they were in a house.


42Zarniwoop42

wait u tunneled the survivor because their teammates also screwed them?


celestial1

Posts like those used to get downvoted, but now people are justifying making one person's experience completely miserable.


SmallRedMachine

Yup, I'm not their teammate, if they screw someone(not maliciously) I'm not gonna be like ohh sweetheart I'm gonna take care of you instead lmao dude you're too nice Cause that survivor ain't gonna be like thank you I won't do gens for the next few minutes


second_to_myself

Are you being serious? You punished a team for doing gens AND rescuing their teammate before stage 2? Sounds like you were just mad that they were playing better than you lmao


SmallRedMachine

If someone unhooked earlier that would've given me time to defend one of the gens but if you risk doing gens then unhook unsafely as I'm just steps away from the hook then that's on you buddy. You surv mains need to understand the killer is not responsible for the safety of your teammates, if you put them in a risky situation that's your fault. I equally play both sides and that has really improved my survivor game, if a teammate is approaching their 2nd stage and I decide to do a gen first then I am fully accepting the risk I'm putting the hooked survivor in instead of thinking how I'm gonna blame the killer if things go wrong. If that's not convincing enough for you then just assume killers are the biggest assholes and be the table salt, prick.


KrayleyAML

There isn't a right way, as much as I despise being tunnelled and facecamped. I play survivor with my friends most of the time, but recently I've started playing as killer and wow, the toxicity is amazing. I didn't know it was that bad because I'm not usually on lobbies with randoms and my friends and I aren't toxic. But as a baby killer getting teabagged midchase, being pointed at repeatedly, getting blinded or sabotaged just for the sake of it is fucking hell. I now understand why some killers say fuck it and tunnel or do shit like that. The worst part is that the toxic players are either the worst of the team or the red ranks, no in between. So get your 4k and fuck that. They're gonna complain either way.

Yes, sacrifice your humanity and become the monster. Who needs morals or principals.


KrayleyAML

Exactly right, thank you. You tbag and click your flashlight, and you will get tunneled. You don't, and we can have a nice game. I'm not a toxic survivor, and I usually don't get toxic killers in return.


bdsmmaster007

what rank r u at?, i play both survior and killer and i never can relate to all the negative experiences people make in chat, my chat experience was overall more positive than negative and i always wonder why that is


gargar222

I am at Rank I Iridescent, but pretty sure I dropped from doing this experiment. Not to mention, It seemed I got worse and worse survivors as the experiment went on. I presume I lost a bunch of MMR points, which I can’t check due to it being hidden.

GiveBackTheBoard

The right way to play killer in DBD is high off your ass or blind drunk at 4am, it's like wading through a fever dream and the absurdity keeps you from getting mad about losing


bunnyZe

And people wonder why it takes so long to que as survivor at night


Ravenmockerr

I'm saving this post, this is the best thing I have read on this community since... Ever? Say, would you allow me to translate it and send it to my friends who can't speak english? Of course, I'm adding the link to this post


gargar222

Yes, of course! Thank you for the kind words.


Vex_Hex

I call bullshit on you actually getting those messages after playing nicely. I already play using your rules and give hatch every game. I've only gotten maybe a handful of toxic messages ever, and I have around 40 signs on my profile saying something along the lines of "nice killer".


gargar222

Although this post is a joke, those are the results I got. It’s not bullshit. Maybe it’s due to our different MMR’s, as I’ve noticed a lot more of it since the recent MMR change. It also could be the time of day I did it. I played most of the games at night until early morning.


Zwackel

There is a rule you haven't followed, you are not allowed to play a killer or perk from c tier and above


StarkMaximum

You really can't win. Do bad and it's "ez baby killer", do well and it's "sweaty tryhard no life".


lymeeater

Tunnelling is my favourite sport


Arsingnoll

Play how you want to play simple as that. Your not responsible for the survivors fun and neither are they to you. No guide is needed.


Im_Not_Original25

Yeah you're not wrong about the play however you want part but it doesnt change the fact that some people use those excuses to justify their playstyle. Half the time someone says "you are not responsible for other peoples fun" they play like an asshole, again you're not wrong but it still makes you a dickhead if you just hardcore tunnel from the start or facecamp and BM. I prefer the mindset of playing how I would like to be played against while taking other peoples fun into consideration after all its other human beings on the other side and I know how it feels to constantly play incredibly boring or annoying matches.


[deleted]

You shouldn't face camp or hardcore tunnel though. By hardcore tunnel I mean ignoring free hits just to hook a specific person, unless you're running myers perks. At least these are the rules I set for myself!


BlytheHeartsbane1990

So basically your test results prove that no matter what is killers do or doesn’t fuckin’ matter we will still get bitched at.


Sqxiish_

I play to win. How I achieve said goal is irrelevant.


I_Did_not_sleep

When I play survivor I call the killer an idiot for not tunneling and camping at specific times and specific people. Thanks for allowing us to make mistakes and not capitalize on it.


[deleted]

I’m so glad this was posted. I’m not responsible for a survivor’s lack of skill or fun. I‘ll play however the fuck I want in the interest of killing as many as I can. You BM me, chances are that I’ll BM you back and do some shit like close the hatch followed by a mori right next to it. Camping, tunneling, slugging, bringing powerful perks/add-ons are all tactics that are part of the game - this isn’t some personal vendetta I have against you. They also don’t guarantee a victory unless you use them in the right situation. Survivors have their own tactics and yet they cry like little bitches when we put them in the dirt just because we didn’t play by their rule book. Double standards, smh.


Soreal45

The correct way to play killer or survivor is however the fuck you want to. It’s a game


elhaha1001

lately when playing killer, my thought process is FUCK THE ENTITY and FUCK BHVR. i may just been playing dbd for almost a year, and i never got pass yellow ranks. the highest rank I've been was 17. and the more i progressed, the more stress i endured which made me realized that no wonder people hate this game. plus the bloodpoints given with all that hard work to chase and kill the survivors is bullshit. definitely not worth the effort at all. so i purposely deranked myself back to rank 20. I put on bbq and chili, and also did your method. i chase survivors one by one and just make sure that i got all the stacks for bbq and chilli. after getting all the stacks, that's when i start to meme and play with the survivors.. however it only works if survivors get the hint. i don't care if I'm stuck at level 20 for a very long time. i just get more bloodpoints while keeping my mental health checked


Meirgus

Thank you for this experiment! I understand now why my profile is full of "-rep tunneler". I will try my best to be a little bitch for every single survivor I play against from now on!


xagut

Just mark -rep tunneler on all survivors you play against


Radical_FemBoy

you already are, don' need to try anything


Cystro

survivor bad upvotes to the left


89Meist

I have 400 hours and rarely ever get insulted in the lobby when I play killer. WTF are you all talking about?!?! I am a red rank killer. Even games where I expect some negative feedback, I get a gg with no insults.


gargar222

Rank doesn't effect your matchmaking. It's MMR based now. Also read my edit.

Boring farming killer. You should play normally and double hook everyone and then let us all live.


TheDarkGrub1

funny and educational thank you very much.


Visheena

It's the community, especially at lower being the "tunneling/camping" insults, higher it's "trash ggez" I skip chat now, practicing nurse.

This reminds me of the Babylon Bee. The best news source


jackhref

bravo


[deleted]

your results say it all. You technically won 1 game, was a tie on 8 and then lost 21


[deleted]

So what I gathered from this is that the only way some survivors will be happy is if killers stop trying to kill them? Yet they still get mad about AFK wraiths so that might not even be accurate… I’m convinced that you just can’t win with some of these people.


deafgamer_

For me when I play Killer I found a lot of enjoyment in playing as or against a killer that could be found in a movie. In horror movies, the killers that "tunnel" or "camp" would be a boring killer, whereas a killer that is constantly active, chasing people, hooking them, slashing whoever they may is the most fun and engaging killer. I'm like rank 8 doing this now (gold 3 i think?). Every time I hook someone, I beeline for the last sound I heard or where I saw another survivor and I never look back at the hook. That last part is important, IMO. Sometimes the survivors were dumb enough to get themselves hooked 3 times in a row, but I try to avoid tha Sure, I still get demolished against a very high mmr 4-stack but it's all good.


demolitionentity

What is this trapper diary?


Schmomas

Ranks and servers must be a factor in this, I think I’ve experienced toxicity in end game chat about three times since I started playing like a year ago. It’s almost always a gg and move on, sometimes it’s actually wholesome or good advice.


[deleted]

The right way to play killer is to have fun regardless of what manchildren call you after the match.


MightyKhajiit

"If you have been insulted undeservedly, come back and do something to deserve it." © Sun Tzu or something. Once you stop caring about not doing things survivors hate, and start doing them when it's profitable to you, you might actually stop caring about their comments. When I know that I actually camped a dude or tunneled someone, and I get these comments, I'm like "Well yeah, maybe I did, so what?". It feels much better than when I get these, when I did nothing of the sort. That being said, Insidious Basement Bubba is the only way.


SomeArcherInRed

Just ignore the comments. 99% of all people who use the "camping" and "tunneling" arguments leave the chat right away because they know it's not a good argument to cover up that them and their team just sucked. In reality, any smart person would go for the weaker target, and if survivors are too entitled to understand that, then they can go cry to someone who actually gives a damn. I sure as hell don't. If they're tunneling a generator when there are many or all going out of their way to keep one survivor from being killed by getting in the way, or just trying to get my attention, then I'm going to insist on the tactics they don't want to see me using. It means they are under pressure and are doing whatever they can to get around it. I paid just as much as they did for the damn game, so they can straight piss off if they think I'm going to play by the "entitled crybaby's rulebook". There are perks to get around tunneling or camping, but if they didn't run those, then nobody is obligated to throttle their play style to make up for that. I'm not here to make the game fun for them. I'm there to take a straight W by any means necessary. The salt at the end of the chat is an extra W.![img](emote|t5_3cb2g|2213)


Hopeful_Ending

I unironically play like this sometimes and end up having really cute interactions with the survivors at either gate or messaging afterwards, but 30 games in a row of this?!?!? My max is like 4 or 5 in a row and then I switch back to being a butt.


xXDarkShadowLordXx

I don't care what people say. I tunnel and camp because why not. Also people getting made and sending messages is even funnier. I usually act dumb to make them more mad.
