Mindgaming yourself
Alot of people know that mindgames is a big part of Dead By Daylight. Almost every streamer mentions them and they happen every match. Some killers powers are based on mindgames, some killers size help with them, theres perks designed around getting information for mindgames or even for creating them entirely, but almost everyone has had mindgames backfire
Its always the funniest when it happens. Say im a survivor in a tall loop running from a killer, and they red light mindgame. Theres been times where i fall for it and run right into them, but then theres times i just simply run off and they dont realise, keep mind gaming, only to realise they wasted 10s and ive run off into the sunset.
Having mindgames fail like that is always hilarious for me, if im on either side, either as the killer watching that claudette just simply run off after i expect them to try to loop a structure, or as a survivor walking right into a trappers torso after a red light mindgame gone wrong
I hope Behaviour keeps expanding on them, making maps that allow for the mindgames, as well as killers and perks that aid in doing so since to me its the most interesting part
And as my final note, and i know its controversial to say, i love watching survivors wiggle around when im deathslinger and im just slowly jogging at them, its hilarious

The best "mindgame" is when you run a loop for a second and then stand still and the survivor keeps running it and bumps right into you while looking behind them.

I've laughed at myself several times for mindgaming myself - one time I ended up looking like a dog chasing its tail, only the find the survivor teabagging from a hill a fair way a way looking at me (in that instance I fully deserved it!).

As a Killer, I also LOVE these times. Really feels like a 1vs1 will they escape? kinda show down. I appreciate good mind games. Good loops are cool too but not if they drag, just gets boring.

My favorite mind game is walking into killers arms around a corner or after falling from window. They will be just as surprised as I am and not swing right away.
