Getting back at toxic teammates story time!
Let's all share stories around the campfire!
So we've all had games where one of the other survivors screwed us over. Sometimes accidentally (one of my friends is good at bodyblocking me by accident at pallets or windows), but also sometimes on purpose. Getting back at those who do it on purpose is always sweet.
I was playing against a Huntress with two friends and a random Dwight.
During the game, I went to hide in a locker because she was chasing someone around. The Dwight tried going in my locker, but I closed the door on him because, you know, it's my locker, go find your own! But the little **** kept going at it over and over, until Anna showed up and saw him. He ran off and I got grabbed from the locker, but she let me wiggle off before going, because she knew he did that on purpose and wouldn't have had reasons to look into that locker otherwise. Friends and I are fuming, what a ****.
Fast-forward a few minutes later. I see Dwight working on a generator by himself, so I decide to go work on a different one, no way I'm working with that guy. On my way to a different generator, I stumble upon Anna. I motion at her to follow me, turn around, and point at the Dwight's generator. She makes a beeline straight for him, chases him a bit and he ends up hooked.
My friends and I were talking over Discord, and we all agreed he should just die there for what he tried to pull on me.. but I decided to be even more petty and went to his hook, started the unhook animation, let go, started again, let go, teabagged, partially unhooked again, then just ran off and left him to die.
Game ends (forgot if I actually survived or not) and Dwight threatens to report me for doing that. "Good, 'cause I also reported you for what you tried to pull on me, and so did my friends, good thing Anna saw through your scheme", and even the killer told them over chat that it's their own fault for being a dick and trying to ######### a teammate over.
The end.

I had a teammate let my friend and I die because we didn’t save them from the hook. The reason for that was because the killer was in between us and the hook while the other player was on their way. Unfortunately her pettiness cost us the game.

Usually in these situations isn't it better not to be petty? reading it, he only did a little bit, you could of dropped a pallet on him and then let it be. There is petty and then there is petty. Mushwin didn't like your story :(

I had a guy once who farmed me, unhooking me while the killer was standing right there and the killer just kept hooking me instead of going for them. Personally if I was killer and saw someone trying to farm I would go for the farmer. At the end of the game this guy goes "LOL I did that on purpose" and they had no reason. Apparently they couldn't understand that they were ruining the game for other people even if they gained enjoyment from farming me themselves.

He opened and closed the locker quite a few times while waiting for the killer to come see what was making that noise. He definitely did it on purpose. Yes it was petty, but don't be a dick if you're not prepared to reap what you sow.

Hate people like that.. if you're going to farm hooks, at least bring borrowed time or something..
And if I'm the killer and see someone doing that, I usually try to let the unhooked guy go and chase the unhooker (unless the hooked guy was a toxic bag of dicks, then I'll slug him before chasing the other guy)
1 -
Yes which yeah is a dick move, but then you led the killer to him, do the hook animation, ran off and let him die, maybe just the one payback was enough? o.O

I like you and how you think. While I agree they were a bit harsh, that Dwight would think twice before trying to screw over a teammate.
I would have just t-bagged him a little at the hook, unhook and then let him heal himself.
0 -
well aw shucks but yes it was a dick move, hey i get it even with swf (looks at groot dude) there is a lil payback, but sometimes can be much...but that's just me....

I also love your profile, but that’s probably because I love Claudette too! She has the best voice work and kindest face. Too bad so many toxic people choose her.
0 -
Maybe I could have just teabagged a bit and let him live, or just left him to die without even going to his hook at all, but I was pretty pissed at what he had pulled and wanted him to know. And yeah, as Avis said, maybe now he'll think twice about doing something like that again.
Anyway this is story telling time! :)
1 -
i don't think i am toxic, i may spam cornpoppers or treedude lol with invites but we all do that just for the fun, mostly i try and have fun, do what i can, do what i have to and haul ass out of there lol and yes i am a Claudette main and thank you kindly :)

It’s not toxic to meme around or tease a little. Toxic is what the dude did in OPs story. Toxic is also wasting the Killers time by waiting for him at the gate, t-bagging until he shows up. Toxic is also when Killers face camp from the start of the match, Unless it’s insidious Bubba, Survivors should just expect that from him and be weary of it from the start. He was basically designed for that play style.
Lots of people just want to have fun in this game. Matchmaking has screwed me a lot so rather than be toxic, I found it fun to protect my totem or basement chest. It’s funny to see a group of Dwights try to distract me while a baby Dweet thinks I can’t hear him sneaking up from behind, trying to get to my Skull Candle. Those are some of the most fun games I’ve had.
0 -
Love it when people think you can't hear their footsteps as they run behind me to try to get an unhook right after I turn my back to the hook.. what they don't know is I'll turn my back to the hook BEFORE hooking, whack them in their stupid face for making so much noise, and THEN hook the guy I was carrying and chase the one I whacked ;p

Had a teammate steal our item after playing shroud of union so we could switch. Me and another teammate that is. But she stole it and wouldn't give it back.
So she gets caught first and hooked in basement. Well no one saves her. Funniest part. We actually escape and before we do. My daughter goes in basement and retrieves her flashlight.

Had 2 teammates farm one other survivor , sadly he died, and once all gens popped, the killer downed both of them with noed and hooked them. I could have just destroy it and save them but I tbagged them the whole time they were on hook.
0 -
Hehehe, this was fun
Back before EGC existed is when this story takes place. I was looping a P3 Michael when playing with a friend and he told me that Claudette was not working on generators, but instead running in circles and emoting in the corner of the map. He told me her location and I did a pro gamer move and ran Michael over to her, pointed at her, and he left me for her. Michael did let me have hatch.
The Claudette messaged me saying she reported me for "Working with the killer", which I know I did, but she deserved it.
0 -
Stealing other people's items is a dick move, glad you could get it back before escaping haha
Good for them :D

Played in a match recently where 1 of the survivors was obviously working with the killer. Followed the killer around and didn't get hit. When the killer found someone else he downed them and hooked them. The survivor working with him unhooked. They let the person run away a second, but then they both started chasing. The killer downed him again. The killer and his partner survivor just stood there and watched him for awhile. The killer finally picked him up and hooked him again. Once again his partner unhooked the guy almost immediately. They let him run a second and then followed. They repeated the process and eventually hung this survivor a third time.
During that time myself and the other survivor were popping gens. We managed to have 4 gens done and working on the 5th by the time they finished tormenting the other survivor. Within a few seconds we popped the last gen.The killer ran to the hatch, which was close to one of the doors, and then went to the door switch. The survivor working with him ran to the other door and just stood in front of the switch. The hatch was closed. The killer was blocking one door and an incredibly toxic survivor was blocking the other one.
The other survivor and I started roaming cleansing totems and such. Ran across a chest and guess what was inside? That's right a key. We walked to the hatch which was in view of the door. We stood there for a second and let the killer watch us and dance a little. We popped the hatch and stood there just a minute to let him run towards us. We both jumped out before he got there.
We both got messages after the match telling us we were crap survivors because the only way we could win was with a key. I normally don't respond at all to those kind of messages. This time I just responded with "Who won?" He must have messaged me 20 times after that cussing me and everything else. I really enjoyed knowing I got under his skin that much after he played that way.

Had a Bill sandbag me and my friend, get us caught, use us as bait, then refuse to unhook us and left.
2 hours later, I'm doing my killer challenges and who do I see in my lobby? That Bill =]
First shock I use finds only him. As soon as I down him, he DCs.
Of course people who would sandbag would DC when downed.
5 -
Haha good job :)
I don't think I ever had games where a survivor actively worked with the killer.. People leading the killer to others on purpose to lose them in chases, yes, but not actually running side by side and then being ######### to prevent people from leaving
4 -
Oh yeah really.
I had some games with bad teammates.. and then got matched against them as killer a few games later, and I just knew they had to be the first to die. :)
1 -
I hope you reported that Survivor.
4 -
We both did. The other survivor had video.

Muahahahahahaha.
Now I hope he got a permanent ban.

I hope they both did.

I had a match 2 nights ago. Farm realm. VS wraith. One guy got hooked, 2 survivors bum rushed the killer. One got slugged. The other looped the killer around hooked survivor. I couldn't get close for the save. I went to the basement to get the basement chest in the mean time. In that time the survivor in chase saved the person off hook. The unhooked survivor immediatly went from the hook to the basement, to locker spam the locker trying to bait killer to come kill me. As he was coming out of the locker and I heard the Killer coming closer (I had spine chill that wasn't turning off, and terror radius getting lourder) - I belined it ahead of him, and took wraiths first hit. I sandbagged the unhooked locker spammer at the corner of a door - where wraith downed him.
I ran to the other end of the map to the Nea, and she wouldn't heal me (obviously swf with the other guy), so I cleansed a totem and healed with Inner Strength. Started to work on a gen alone. Where the Nea came in and started to window spam. The killer came and started to chase me, I looped the killer to another corner of the map, but he gave up chase. I started to heal at the corner. Jane came over and dropped a pallet, I stood next to it crouched, she slid over it bugging into my same spot and started to teabag. The killer walked over and downed her. Then I jumped the pallet and escaped again.
After hooking the Jane, he chased down the Nea and hooked her too. Then I took the hatch. In the end game screen they started to go "good job you got 3 people killed" and the unhooked locker spammer started saying I just "hid in the basement all game". Me and the Killer called them out on sabotaging me.
It was good game, and i'm glad that a toxic SWF like that got what they deserved.
5 -
Glad you made it out. What is seriously wrong with people. "oh my god that guy's useless he's in the basement! let's totally ignore the fact that I'm being chased around the hooked and slugged person, how dare he not come help and risk getting downed, too!"

Had a David hook farm each of us in a match, back before Safe Unhooks were a thing. Luckily the Billy we were playing against hated that sort of behavior so he just downed us and went after the David, letting us get healed back up. Sadly, David was a really good looper so Billy couldn't catch him up.
Little later in the match, I get downed and hooked by the Billy again. As I go into Struggle, of course I see David coming in for the hook dive. He needs that 4th stack of WGLF! Billy has been waiting for this, so he's coming back to the hook with a vengeance as well. When David was about 6 meters from me, I let go of Struggle. He stood there for a moment in shock, then got downed by the Billy. It was quite blissful.
Even better though was the fact that neither of the other two Survivors, we were all 4 solo queue'ers, went to save him. So after about 30 seconds of hook gymnastics, David DC'd. I waited out the last couple minutes of the match to thank the Billy for not rehooking us immediately. Post-game chat did not appreciate David's actions much at all.
Felt really good.
6 -
Good. Wasn't around back when Safe Unhooks weren't a thing, but I can imagine they implemented that to prevent the kind of behavior that David had.. "You want we're gonna live forever stacks? do it when it's safe, or bring borrowed time"
2 -
Today I accidentally sandbagged my teammate in solo queue and then dropped a pallet on her face, causing her to take a hit. I could literally feel her rage through my PC screen, so I ran in circles around her whilst she just stood there (presumably raging IRL), and took the hit for her when the killer followed through.
In the end everyone escaped and I was quick to be like SORRY LAURIE in the post-game chat. We had a laugh about the whole thing, she told me she was raging hard when it happened but then I took the hit for her and she realised it was just a mistake and cooled down haha. Not really a story about getting back at toxic teammates, but it was a good laugh with a stranger.

Good :D
Some people need to learn that mistakes happen. Just because someone leads the killer to you doesn't mean it was done on purpose. Unless they do it over and over, then it's suspicious.
Sometimes the only safe place to run away from the killer happens to be the jungle gym you're in.
1 -
Well said mate, reminds me of another story where a fellow survivor had that kind of sour attitude and sandbagged me for what she thought of as "leading the killer to us". Its not a great story though because it ended with my internet crashing and being forced out of the game. But I heard that she learnt her lesson in the post-game chat where she raged about me only to find that both of her remaining teammates were part of my SWF :)
3 -
Haha good.
But yeah some people take this game way too seriously.. it's a game, get over it!
1 -
This is one of those examples that makes me avoid playing this game. I'm not shaming you for writing this, in fact it's players like that Dwight you referenced that make me tired of dead by daylight. But as a survivor AND killer main, I get bored of facing people like this. I know it's just a game and it shouldn't be taken too seriously but a game is supposed to be about having fun, not ruining it for others.
1 -
I was farming as killer once because someone insta dc on the survivors. Adam and Claudette got the message, but Jake went all try hard trying to do the gens and get out before anyone could get any bps. So Adam and Claudette got their unhooks off each other, and I had to hunt Jake down. I hooked him expecting one of the others to unhook him. They spent 3/4 of the egc pretending to unhook and teabagging him while I watched. Then they ran out the exit gate. Did not expect that lol.

Haha
Had a few games like that, on both sides, where it was obvious it was a farming game, but one of the survivors just hid when the killer was nearby, or did generators and then opened the gate and left, while the others weren't even done dropping pallets or whatever else you can do to farm.
Some killers are easier to let people know you want to farm. But I don't understand how some people don't get the universal sign of smacking the generator while carrying someone and dropping them a few times so they can get back up.. had a survivor once get pissed because the killer was farming because someone disconnected "play the game like normal!" "well someone disconnected it's hardly a normal game, I want to maximize my points and not feel like I wasted my time"

"Best voicework"
Are you joking?
Jake?
David?
Ace?
Meg?
Laurie?
Even Ash "groovy boi" Williams himself?

Players like this know what they're doing, they dont like farming because for them its try super hard or die, I messaged the one that died and said they must have done that because we were farming and you wouldn't farm, he literally said yeah I know I dont like playing that way so I'm good with it. I dont farm much, not even for dc survivors anymore, maybe for daily's on a killer that I just prestiged or a rift challenge, but people like this that you can drop twice while whacking a gen and run off and try hard, I kill them, it pisses me off.
0 -
I barely ever farm on killer. I did the other day with a group that just hid in the basement until I found them (took longer than it should have) but in general, if I farm, it's on the survivor side, and it's because the killer decided to. Sometimes it's obvious I could have just died long ago and they decide to let me live for some reason or another, or down everyone, then let us finish the last generators because the game would have ended too fast. Or if it's obvious they want to do a challenge and weren't toxic during the game. Had a trapper one time, tunneled and camped every hook, I was the last survivor and he put traps on the ground around me and then picks me and lets me wiggle off.. I think he was either doing a daily, or that trapper rift challenge. I kept running away towards one of the gates. He called me stupid in the chat after he finally hooked me.. Yeah you tunneled and camped my friends, as if I'm going to help you get your challenge!

Hey, toxicity is never the answer in a situation like this...
But I won't say that it isn't hilarious and gratifying. I've had almost the exact same happen to me (minus the SWF.)

What sound sound stands out most when you play DbD? For me it’s the screaming, and from all the screams in the game, Claudette has the best screams. The voice actor did a phenomenal job.
As much as I liked Ash and his franchise, I don’t think Bruce Campbell is that great of an actor. Entertaining, yes, but that’s about it.
That’s not to say the other voice actors are bad, but for me, I think Claudette is the best.

Two wrongs don't make a right. I'm a believer in what comes around goes around, so I wouldn't have escalated anything. Anna would've handled it when she found him.
My opinion, though and I has nothing more to say <3
0 -
Yeah that's different screw that guy, he wanted to finish his daily and sacrifice you anyway
0 -
The ones that make me laugh every time are when ash or David king gets taken down hard you can hear that ######### on the other side of the map
1 -
Oh it definitely was gratifying!! haha ;)
That's fine, everyone has a right to their opinion ;) Anna probably would have, but it was fun just sending her after him and seeing her go. And watching him die was also totally worth it (actually I didn't watch, I ran back to my friends and worked on stuff)
0 -
I always laugh when I hear that, or when Steve gets hooked! Music to my ears <3
0 -
Yeah most likely. I know I farmed for that one challenge. Survivors were in the exit gate waiting for me, so I just placed a trap next to it and backed away.. one of them came in to step on it, I reset the trap, and they stepped on a few times, then they left. I could have gotten it the normal way, probably, but I'm not a trapper player,. but yeah, at least I wasn't a dick about it, overtrapping hooks and whatnot. Trapper's the kind of killer I either get 0 traps, or 10 of them in a single game. But once people know it's trapper, there's no chance for me to get traps because people are too careful.

I hate Feng's screaming/whining when I hit her.. God it's such an annoying sound!
1 -
I was actually going to complain about her but I got scared people would whip out their Torches and Pitchforks.

Haha ;)
She sounds like someone's bad imitation of a rooster or something, honestly I don't know what they were thinking ;p
