No incentive to play nice as a killer
I'm losing to survivors that don't know loops aside from God loops not because chases are long but because of the gens. I just played as ghostface and got three hooks total, zero devout, zero malicious, bronze chaser and bronze gatekeeper which probably would be zero gatekeeper if they didn't change the emblem that tiny bit but even then I only just got bronze.
How is this any fun for me as a killer? First hook was a basement two gens popped straight afterwards and a third was nearly done, I have no time to stalk and even if I could survivors almost always know I'm there unlike myers. If a team goes to a gen each straight away you really don't have much of a fair shake at the game. This point it's more viable for me to play leatherface hook somebody and then camp them using them as bait.
Nothing feels earned in this game you can be good and lose to less knowledgeable players that's not how it's supposed to be, I know loops I know how to mind game but I can't hook everyone three times with how fast gens go against people that go straight to them one after the other, no detours, no messing around. If I'm in a chase and they run me a couple times around a un-mindgamable pallet or God loop what am I supposed to do? The other three will each be on a gen.

Just use a slugging build.

The game is so lame right now, nobody gets any bp I mean should I just play wraith or something and sit in a corner all match farming rift xp? That works right?

Don't try to hook everyone three times, try hooking two survivors 6 times while injuring/slugging the other two to keep them off gens or at least make them waste a pallet. If you do well you'll just need to do 8-10 hooks to get a 4k.

Play more like a scum man, otherwise u screwed literaly, if you notice survivors are unhooking to fast, proximity camp the hooks.
If you notice survivors taking to long to unhook a survivor, make sure he goes into 2 stage of hook.
If they Unhook infront of you, down both of them, yes go chase the one that got unhook.
Survivors that try flashlight safe, bait them and hit them, if they come again bait them and you got 2 downs.
Yes, you need play like this if you want 4k or actualy a good game and if survivors are good, slug them if you can.
Suggest you to use perks such: Sloppy Butcher, Thanatophia to make them waste time, and if they dont want waste time, well that 1 hit for u.
If you want play "fair" you will be stomped by survivors, like you always where, you are not in control now but you need get the grip at thos horses/survivors.

They don't care about the killer experience anymore, ni such thing as fair play so why bother with it

Do whatever you have to dude.
Can't really afford to be nice in the game anymore, it was already difficult but the last patch pushed it to a point you pretty much have to do whatever it takes. No giving hatch, no intentionally going out of your way to not tunnel or camp or slug, literally do anything you can because survivors very much will do the same to you.
You think they won't take toolboxes and blast out a gen for every time you hook a survivor? You think they won't try and hook tech the newer killers that don't know they can hit from the side? They will. They will use literally ANYTHING they have to win, so you should do the same.

It does work, you can do it all day without a single survivor complaint. Nurse is better for it though

Dude there's no time for me to do that, first chase I hit two of them went after one she instantly went to that loop you know the one of macmillan with the stairs with a gen and chest sometimes basement? She went there I got her basement then boom teo two gens done and a third nearly done and then done as i approached it. I hit two people and hooked one in basement before a gen popped and it didn't do anything for me sucks. I can't play survivor because there are too many survivor mains and other killers left the game so I'm forced to play cuck role

Why nurse?

Just play how you want to play. I don't understand why Killers are stressing so hard. If you wanna camp, camp. If you wanna tunnel, tunnel. Sure its not fun for us Survivor mains but who cares. Theres plenty of other games ahead.
0 -
Okay, you also need to start using map offerings; avoid farm maps, autohaven, red forest, ormond, haddonfield, crotus... and if you use a map offering for macmillan you need to equip bamboozle. In case you run out of map offerings use moris instead.

Well I have seen a surge in survivors bringing keys red rank survivors I should add but when I go for the one with the key after match they harass and call me a literal scumbag. Everytime I have slugged, chased, won I get basically abused.
Don't believe in chasing getting called tunneling I mean what am I supposed to do not chase a survivor who ran into my view over and over?
2 -
You wouldn't get it. Now imagine the joker meme please. But it still stands there is stress because any strategy that could turn the game in killer favor in my case it earns me the title of scumbag this 4v1 mentality it makes some people vile, you get made to feel guilty by some for doing your job as the killer you'll get made to feel like you did something wrong.
People are mean.

I don't hate on other players I verse. Players in this game go out of there way to put you down if you dare beat them you would think they would have better things to do but no. I hate playing killer the last time I enjoyed it was over 8 months ago but I can't get consistent survivor games it's always too long queue time I am forced to play as role that I have grown to despise because I value the game too much to quit.

You shouldn’t feel like you need to play nice. Play how you want to play and don’t let other players dictate how you play.
1 -
But you are the KILLER correct? The match plays around your strategy and no its not always going to work out. I realize the problem with a lot of Killer mains is that they care too much about what Survivors have to say after a match. If its offensive and over the top report it. Otherwise ignore it and move on, people are gonna whine and talk smack regardless. Thats what happens in PvP games.

I have a kind of personality thing for that stuff... I rarely use add-ons/offerings because I feel bad when I use them... I like hoarding them. It's a disadvantage but I got red ranks doing it my way against stressful players, I like rng factor of maps I don't believe in picking because I could pick and if I lose it would seem wasteful

I don’t know where people get that idea of “I need to play a certain way because [x]” Play how you want, your play style should be controlled by YOU, not the people you’re playing against.

I used to be just like you, letting endgame messages and comments get to me. Its not worth getting worked up or feeling bad about. People are gonna be salty if you played using a strategy they didn't like.
0 -
Exactly. As long as its within the rules and you're not cheating then play how you wanna play. The sooner people understand this, the sooner everyone will start to have more fun on video games. Tip-toe'ing around to play a certain that others approve of is not fun.

I can't just turn off my feelings if somebody hates on me I'm gonna have it gnawing at me I can honestly say I have played many pvp games and never experienced as much strangers hating not even in mmo's.

People can be so mean in this game, but that's never going to change. I'm a survivor main. Although I despise camping and hate to be tunneled, I can totally understand now more than ever why this will become the best strategy for a lot of killers and I'll just have to deal with it and move on. I always try to tell myself that it's not personal. There will always be another match.

You've got a lot to learn. You'll get there eventually. Soon you won't even care about anything anyone has to say once you put up with it long enough.

Because I don't want to get ######### on. If people learned to keep their hate to themselves you know

I said this in another thread...
Disable the end game chat. You don't need it (unless you like salt, then by all means). Disable profile comments (unless you like it, again). Stop playing nice.
Here's the thing. The majority of survivors don't give a rats ass about your fun as a killer. They really don't. They will run in circles, abuse god windows/god pallets, click their little flashlight and teabag you at a pallet as if throwing down a pallet after running in circles took any skill, and then they'll berate you in chat when you play nice, with "ggez", or they'll whine that you didn't "respect the 4%". They'll be massively OP with endless second chances, and still whine to BHVR to nerf perfectly balanced killers like Billy or Freddy.
Stop caring about their fun. Pick a killer, pick a disgusting load out, and kick the living crap out of them. Don't play by the magical book of killer rules written by survivors. Play to win. Play by your own rules.

You're also assuming the person on the hook isn't carrying Kindred. I carry it every time and guess what happens when the killer soft camps me? I may die but 3 gens pop during my struggle.

Exactly, or if you see they brought expensive gear go stand in a corner facing a wall, they won't get hardly any points without chases. Otherwise Franklin's spoils their day in many cases and if they get out they often lose their fancy item
