Why are some People like this?

So i was playing Survivor with a friend of mine and we played against a clown who was softcamping. the survivors could always hear the terror radius untill they reach something beyond second stage.

So in the endgame chat i told him basicly:
"Try to camp a bit less. just a tipp. GG tho"

And he straightup says "I did not camp you Whoreson"

I mean. i try to be nice. becaus i don't know if he maybe is a rather new player or something. But reactions like this are really unnececary.

    Some people just feel an odd need to be a dick when they know there's no risk of people smackin' 'em.

    Then again I've seen people be really abusive to the Killer for doing something completely legit and it can drive people up the wall so they lash out at others because they are used the criticism being abusive.

    I try to not do that but it's just the nature of people, I guess.

    Well you are telling him what to do.
    Ofc he isnt pleased about that :wink:

    camping is a perfectly legit way to paly, he can camp 100% of the time and its ok btw

    You cannot help yourself but ignore. Like, you telling people to not camp will not change how they play games. It's better to move on to a next game. No matter if you got camped and tunnelled as a survivor or SWF*cked by the survivors.

    Yeah, all you can really do is ignore people who are being abusive asshats.

    Whenever I play Killer and I see a SWF group with a twitch.tv enter the lobby? Wew, I brace myself no matter the outcome. :P

    I dont understand the language, but if you are gonna start ######### by calling out a "softcamper" for camping, you really shouldn't be bitching that he started back at you...

    The problem with text is no one knows in what context/tone you are speaking. To tell someone "camp a little less" even if you may have meant it as a tip to have gotten more kills/improve could easily come off as you being salty and complaining. Remember not everyone can read what is inside your head as you write. Only I can do that, and Thank You I do think I'm handsome.

    Whoreson is totally unnecessary.
    Telling someone how they should play is also unnecessary though.

    I wouldn't of approached him that way. If I feel the need to point out camping is bad, I tell them this way.

    • As killer, time is your most valuable asset
    • Every moment somebody is on a generator is time you are losing
    • Camp one person, you only take 1 person of gens
    • Hook then chase somebody else, you take 3 people off gens.
    • Of course, if everybody is at the hook, this doesn't apply.

    You put it to to them this way, the newer killers are usually more receptive.

    Of course i know that people can't know if i have bad intetions behind that text. He could have ignored it or just told me to leave him alone or pretty much anything else. But why do some people instanty just start being angry and start talking bs. I mean this guy even won. and as far as i could see ther wasn't any teebaging or other stuff like that.

    I play killer pretty often. And i get pissed at Survivors all the time.
    Most oft the time i just point stuff out like
    "Im honestly not sure if your internet is bad or you are using a lagswitch"
    But i never call people ######### or stuff like that.
    It's okay to be salty or angry and stuff. And i report people too. But why personally attack them?

    Tja <--- German word that fits as response to every important issue.

    It looks like that killer was triggered and you caused him to explode.
    I would also feel slightly upset, when survivors call me a camper, when I didn't camp.

    Yeah that tends to happen when you make passive aggressive remarks towards someone. That's like kicking a dog and acting surprised that it bit you in retaliation.

    It happens. I wasplaying last night, and my mouse died on me and became unresponsive. So my killer was staring at a rock for the last 2 generators. 

    In the post game chat, I was greeted with, "Bad killer rage" spammed 8 times, then after I explained what happened, I was told not to buy a $5 mouse from Walmart.

    I can only assume that these people have it really bad, in their personal lives, so they become internet warriors to off-load their feelings of being inadequate.

    I don't know man.

    "Try to camp a bit less" Seems almost as if you're trying to tell him how to play which some may take as an insult.

    You could have just left and said nothing. He won, and your entitled ass told him how he should have played so that you could win more easily. I'd tell you to ######### off, too.

    Some kids in this game see that as an insult to have anyone even mention the word "camp".

    Say you walked up to me, in person, after we just finished a friendly basketball game which i'd just won and told me 'Johnathan, you should maybe not cross over and dunk on me so much. I don't think its fair that you're better than me.'

    Know what i'd do? Laugh at you and tell you to git gud, and then make fun of you for being an entitled little fuckboy.

    And by the way? Calling someone else a 'kid' doesn't make you look like a big boy, it makes you look like..well, a kid.

    You instigated it. How would you react if the killer told you, "Try to gen rush a bit less. just a tipp. GG tho"

    Awww, you're cute.
    Maybe you don't know, but here's a secret - kids actually play this game. Maybe I was reffering to them in specific and not trying to insult anyone by calling them a kid? Thought about that , or you just looked for a reason to try to insult me?

    See people? People like him are a 2nd type of people who will try to insult you (but without cursing) in game.
    They may not be kids , but are still childish.

    PS
    I never asked him what he's do IRL or in DbD. He can camp all he wants. But he (the mature guy that he is) thinks I try to say that "camping is for noobs" when I never said that.
    It just seems that people who main killer are so weak mentally and got bullied by "mean survivors" so much that they go and attack anyone who says anything negative about someone who camped as killer , or those who even mention the word "camp" ...lol.
    He also forgot that people accuse some others of "camping" when they didn't even camp.
    I personally don't like being called a "camper" when I didn't camp , not when I did in fact "camp". Of course I wouldn't go insulting anyone for it , but some do , and that's what I referred to. Some people seem to not think and instead assume stuff that's incorrect. Shame.

    That's not instigating that's constructive criticism taken personally and then overreacted.

    It sounds like trolling, and given this community, I'm not surprised the Killer took it as such.

    It was rather polite for dbd survivors in post game chat if you ask me lol. I am a killer main maybe it's just me though but I wouldn't have taken offense to that at all. But then I've had some pretty horrendous crap vomited on to me post match.

    Even if you meant for it to be genuine advice, if the Killer perceives it to be trolling, that's what their reaction will reflect. You can't know intent from writing.

    The problem with your constructive criticism is it's not constructive criticism. You just didn't like the way this certain killer played. Is camping allowed? Yes, it is. He can camp all he wants. I understand as a survivor there are certain tactics killers use that may be frustrating, but you're telling him to do something because you didn't like it, not because it was against the rules. So in the context you used "camp less", it's absolutely instigating and I see why the killer took offense.

    There are people here telling you that you were wrong and you are still defensive about it. If you want to play killer and play "by the rules", you are more than welcome to. If other killers want to camp, then sorry about your bad luck.
