My challenge to you...
Be the better person. With all the toxicity in post-game chats, I challenge you to be the one to say something nice to a survivor or the killer. If they were total wall-slinking potatoes or teeth-grinding tunnelers, then don't say anything. Move on to the next game.
I only started playing this game a few months ago so I'm only a level 13 survivor and level 19 killer. We all know that matchmaking is horribly broken and a bunch of us greens got matched to a level 20 killer. We all escaped but I took the time to encourage the newbie killer instead of sending the "gg ez noob" bs I received as a newbie killer from purples and greens. And the killer responded by thanking me for the kind comments and encouragement. That response made me feel better than any vitriol I could've spewed out of some sense of childish superiority. And I hope it fueled the newbie killer into the next game against overranked opponents.
So, be the adult in the room. Even if you are not yet an adult, be the kind person. It's a f'ing game, so have fun and build each other up!
Thus endeth the sermon. Cheers!

Every message I send is a nice message
Either that or an apology cause I done ######### up somehow and got someone killed :D
But always nice!

Honestly, has it gotten so bad that your opponents now aren't willing to just simply say "GG" if you win? Like do they just immediately leave after you escape or after you kill them?
It's not even the "GG EZ" crowd that honestly needs a better hobby than being a horrible person, just that everyone seems to no longer have the courtesy to say gg at the end of the game.

Ya, this. Recently I was running with a Feng from a killer, on my screen the Feng had cut off to the right as I ran forward. Music was intensifying, no time to swivel my camera as I reached the pallet to throw down. Then I heard the shriek of the poor Feng and a vault. :< When I apologized, she was super nice about it! And those moments def stick out to me more than someone being an arse.
Treat people how you hope to get treated, and it will happen from time to time.

Ya but who am i supposed to lash out to make feel bad then? People make me feel bad. I can't lash out to my neighbor. He'll tell my dad. I can't lash out to my dad- he'll take away my pc. Isn't random new player #153865 my best option?

That sadly sounds accurate to people who lash out at video games to vent out their own misery to others.

My friend just got "hooked" (his words, not mine) on DBD and was actually commenting on how supportive the survivors have been as he's learning to play killer. He's still getting matched with red ranked survivors, but they have been very supportive when they see his brown rank.

That's nice, I have a couple of friends who are also like that.
Though I doubt we're the majority here... Given how this community has a reputation for being toxic.

The toxicity is what we were all afraid of when we brought him into the game. Fortunately he's got tough skin anyway.

Reminds me of a few games i had, where me and another survivor felt bad for the killer. Once we notice, oh they were a super low rank, below 13.
Like we were wishing they at least got more points. For all the survivors came out with more points than the killer. It really just felt bad to see someone clearly new to the game, not really get much of a chance to play or points, with how quick these games were. Due to the survivors being rainbow colors and being clearly far more experience than the killer.

Whenever I get salt messages I just respond with "I love you" and they don't say anything else.

Not trying to call you out, I'm just curious what your standards for saying "GG" are. Just when the game finishes, you always say it?
I personally don't always say GG, because I feel like it waters down the meaning. If it was just a normal game I usually just want to move on to the next one and just leave to go to my next match, and don't even bother saying GG. I don't find it to be particularly rude or mean, to just not say GG at the end. For me personally though, I'll bother saying GG if it ends up being a genuine good game (lots of close moments, etc.) or simply just both sides had a fair chance, and one side just did better than the other. I just personally don't enjoy the thought of always saying GG even if something wasn't a good game. As I said before, just because I feel like it makes it feel kind of meaningless to say after a while.

Personally my standards for GG is if it was a fair match.
No BMing, everyone was playing well, both of us doing our objectives, just having fun in general.
I don't say GG if I didn't have a good game, obviously.

I always say GG, even when I play like garbage. I look at it like I was back in Little League (a long time ago btw) when both teams would line up and slap hands at the end to show good sportsmanship. When I say GG and get salt back in return, I know I am talking to the kid who used to spit in his hand before slapping hands with the other team...lol
