Why is this community so toxic? It's insane
So im playing as Demo at rank 1, and im playing pretty poorly. Make some pretty glaring mistakes, and end REALLY behind. At this point I just decide "im getting tilted, I'll just quit and reset for a bit." Why bother continuing to get dumped on if i'm just not hitting my groove.
I leave the game, and then say something simple like "just playing badly. Wanted it to be done.". IMMEDIATELY all of the survivors start just shitting on me. Calling me #########, telling me to uninstall, it was like someone turned on the toxic hose and sprayed it into the chat.
I get people on the internet will be toxic, but the sheer amount of toxicity I experience in this game on a weekly basis is just something I've never experienced in my years of playing games online.
This game in particular was after a string of bad games for me (I've had a rough night in the fog), and it just really makes me want to be done. This game is SO REWARDING and fun 80% of the time, but it genuinely makes me feel like trash the other 20%.

People invest add ons, offerings or whatever, or have a mission so they're rolling the dice and gambling.
Then you come along and you're like OwO hewwo!
So they vent. Wee.

Because they're #########.
Keep it simple. It's because they're #########.

They realized you already felt bad and wanted to make you feel even worse. You encountered a group of Survivors whose only goal is to make the Killer feel bad.
I think a big part of why people can get so toxic in DbD is because of how competitive it is.

There was a DBD survey BHVR put out not too long ago asking about toxicity in chat. I'd like to know the general response on that and if bad enough, what could they possibly do to fix that short of disabling chat.
It's obvious they're aware of it since they asked and it would be nice if they gave some kind of feedback on this kind of stuff. Not just toxic chat, but what the responses to any of the topics in those surveys mean to BHVR and what are some of their thoughts.

While I understand the sentiment as Heartbound described people invest into games as survivor and BP for that side is harder to come by, so it's not shocking they were upset at the plug getting pulled suddenly, particularly when they were clearly about to win. It's like when you get your first down in a game and two people immediately DC, now you're stuck with a game that will be at best a safety pip because two people wanted to be salty and yeet out of the game.
If you know you're going to take the loss anyway, might as well get the points for more addons and perks, if not for this killer other killers. And if you're going to DC, I wouldn't hang around in after-game chat to see what people will say to you, that's kind of inviting the toxic.

Don't stick around for end game chat.

Yeah that tends to be the best way to avoid it. if you are running into people time and time again who are just nasty. For you can come across some rather nice people but all it takes is just like that one bad group or bad person to just ruin your day.

You mean the killer who quit? Ahh yes I’m sure you offer the same sympathy to survirors who give up against you. They are the victim too, right?
Biased nonsense coming from you again ...shocking.

I'm a little confused here. I offered a possible reason as to why the Survivors went berserk on him in the end game chat. Then I said why I think DbD attracts so much toxicity, and I didn't even say it came from one side.

would you offer sympathy also for survivors that quit? Yes or no. Im sure you tell them gg and keep their head up, rather than insult them. I’m familiar with you not only here but Reddit in the past, and know you are insanely biased.

I'm not as biased as you think, but I think that's kinda off topic. I'm on PS4 so I really wouldn't take the time to message someone most of the time. If I did, then of course I wouldn't insult them. I have no way of knowing if there was an emergency or something they had to take care of that required them to DC.

The DBD community is bad but it can have fun people and i’ve made a lot of friends from playing lol. at least it’s not like CS:GO.
clutch or kick...i’ll never forget. 🙂
and the people who can swear at a million words per second.
and the screamers.
and the russians.

Dont know what online games you have been playing before but DBD is not bad at all compared to communites like cs, overwatch, any moba or various mmo's IMO. Not even close.

Probably because you spend your free time as a homicidal killer chasing people. Either 'git gud' or DC.

I've never seen another non-esports game having such a toxic community. But it doesn't have to stay that way. The devs could take measures to decrease the opportunities for people to behave toxic (regarding to game mechanics and the end game chat).

The game isn't balanced, they killer should have the power role but for SWFs.
Some can be chill but like to believe there are some people who haven't hit puberty that play this game
