Obviously there's a lot of people not too happy with stuff like ds, noed, camping, teabagging etc.. But still have hundreds or thousands of hours. So what is it for you? What are those moments when you're playing and you just think "yeah this is why this games so good". The ones that make all the annoying bits worth it.

    I using find the fun in a lot of the mind games. When you get into a survivor's or killer's head and make multiple right reads, it just feels satisfying. :)

    I'm in the 600s, and for me it's the competitive nature, how you have to play every move depending on the survivors playstyle, the adrenaline that you have in the chase. Additionally most killers are fun and doing random survivor builds are great.

    Clown is charismatic and running surge-pop-surveilance-sloppy on him is fun. I love punishing overly altruistic people with extra heal times

    Never do any of these. Been on the receiving end of it too much.

    The only "hated" tactic I use would be slugging. But I only do that if there's 3+ survivors, they have an RBT or somebody's attempting to sabotage in my face.

    I think it’s just the camping that tears me apart. It ruins games consistently because there’s nothing you can do about it most of the time. The other ones just don’t make sense to me why people complain about them. Because there is something you can do about them. DS - stop tunneling. The guy needs to heal still which takes time so find someone else. NOED - cleanse totems and stop being a gen humper. Rather than see that perk as frustrating it should teach you a lesson instead. There’s more to the game than doing generators. TEABAGGING - Seems like a childish thing to be mad about. Are you asking them to remove the ability to crouch? Take advantage of the fact that they’re not running away and down them or chase them out of the match.

    y'know the feeling when the killer's coming right toward you and you throw a pebble and they actually turn around?

    that.

    When NOED is active. I seriously get a rush trying to find the totem, rescue the survivor, while avoiding the killer. It's perhaps my favorite thing to go against as a survivor and it saddens me most don't enjoy it as much as I do.

    Every so often you get a really good, close game and in the end game chat everyone says a gg and sometimes a compliment and it just feels good :)

    Not the moments for me.

    It's the regular gameplay that keeps me in.
