Playing killer is demoralising

I'm reasonably new to the game compared to most here and I overall enjoy the game. I can happily play survivor for hours regardless of whether the games are unbalanced in terms of MM, whether people are camped or tunneled etc.

However whenever I switch to killer I really feel put off playing by the attitude and actions of survivors. Whether it turns out they are solo or swf. The lack of general respect is gross. Teabagging, waiting at door to taunt etc.

Now I know this is, sadly, to be expected in the game but when you see so many people complain about queue times for playing survivor... I now think... Well this why is... No one wants to deal with this.

    Nobody care. We build survivors fun based community, where role of killers make survs game fun, holding m1 to win and bully.

    You get used to It... It's how most of the good killers are made. You just get fed up with all the BS and toxicity and go full sweaty all games. Then you get bored of 4k'ing most of the matches and start doing some weird #########.

    PS.: You don't need to camp/tunnel/BM you just learn how to play optimally, learning when to slug or capitalize in saves/altruism.

    With all due respect, I don't know why tea bagging and waiting at door bugs people so much. I'm fairly new aswell

    I understand that chat toxicity can get you down, I play rocket league... But if I see someone tea bagging or waiting at gate, I just chase them in and it's done with. One time I even got a kill with executioner when someone did this a little too far away from exit. But all in all, it really doesn't make me angry that they're doing that. That's the only point in the whole game where they have some overt power over the killer, let them celebrate lol.

    When they make working hit validation and stop making boring killers like twins maybe I'll believe that statement.

    To be fair this you are probably feeling this way because you are new. Don't let these forums fool you: this game is actually in a pretty well balanced place right now, maybe slightly in favor of killers. Sure every now and then you will come against a good swf team and only get a few kills but make no mistake, if you learn how to play killer efficiently you will be absolutely smashing 95% of the survivor playerbase with relative ease.

    The way you feel about all of those things is entirely up to you. Survivors teabag for a reason, and if it keeps tilting killers, they're going to keep doing it. And I'm not afraid to play this game. I like being chased. If a killer wants me to "respect" them, they better give me a reason to.

    I can absolutely understand why someone would get frustrated and find it an absolute moral killer playing...uh...killer

    It is very unfortunate and even more unfortunate, I don't know what I can tell you to make it better. There are going to be matches where you stomp the survivors and there are going to be matches where the survivors stomp you (and I've found a lot of survivors LOVE rubbing that ish in your face).

    All you can do is move on to the next match or maybe take a break if you're finding it's getting to you. I've found that if it's not going well, I switch to a killer that's not expected to do well and just play for funsy (someone like Plague or Clown, the killers that are generally considered the low tier peeps). For some reason for me at least, that helps me somehow get less frustrated while playing, even if the survivors are jerks about it. Maybe it's just because I don't expect to do well so if it goes sideways, I don't really care nearly as much.

    It's because as a killer you put maximum effort and commitment to the match if you actually want to do better. It's absolutely gonna get frustrating if all you get is a toxic amount of disrespect from players who aren't even trying.

    At the end of the day the game is 4 v 1. You can make a mistake as a killer and it's game over the other side does a mistake, another guy can just fix the whole thing and they're right back on track.

    Killer is demoralizing at the beginning, but eventually the game will become killer favored if you get good enough. The enemy team always is filled with at least 1 horrible player and you can pretty much decimate them because of this. SWF can be problematic, but you'll rarely encounter one where all players are fantastic.

    Just play Spirit or Freddy. Too easy.

    Just play survivor. It's far more relaxing, forgiving and overall more enjoyable.

    You'll get used to long queues.
