Fellow killer mains what is your opinion?
What do you think of teams of throw the game to "harass" you. I'm saying harass because lack of better words. This team might thirst flashlight saves and tbag to get you to chase them. Is this a fun game?, a boring game, do you dislike or like versing these. I genuinely want to see what people think.

I'm not a killer main but play both sides fairly equal. Matches like that I still try to kill them all to try and show that their harassment doesn't affect me even though I really want to scream, cry, and throw the controller at the tv.
They'd have to be really over the top with their harassment for me to want to cry though.
I had a match where I was playing Freddy (one of my first matches as him) and there was a 4 person swf (very obvious swf cuz of names) where they all had flashlights. I loaded into the match and found that only one had a flashlight so I was like "Oh no". The problem is this one person was very immerse so I never knew where they were and the only time they'd appear was to blind me through the corn and I was never able to pick anyone up because I'd just get a flashlight to the face. All 4 remembered to tbag at every moment and all 4 tbagged me in the exit gate. I even looked at their builds. All had the small pp build with purple flashlights with the pink bulb and sapphire lens. (which all were given to that one person). All of them got out, but none deserved it.

i had a game where i was miyers {to tired to spell it} i had tombstone piece i acted like i gave up he came to me and was tea bagging in my face and yall should know the rest

I hate any of this type of obnoxious behaviour
9 -
That part it irritating
Kinda boring, good chases though
0 -
I don't mind them and they don't get to my head. I do love it when they try to dumb tech or cj tech me because it's basically a free down with enduring.

It's annoying; but they don't always throw a match doing this. Often groups do this because they realise it's an inexperienced killer; people literally make smurf accounts for this purpose even.
They do all of the above- but also make sure to all escape.
It's why most the killers in the game are either still at the phase of being subjected to that now and then, or have become grated and it's why they don't give you that hatch, or not tunnel you when you make a mistake.

I love those teams, usualyl means ill have really interactive games and fun chases. Infact sometimes i even dodge to look for these kinda swfs. I'll take one of those anyday over an immersed team who hugs gens.
3 -
I think those games where they just try to bully tf out of me can be really funny too. It's not so important to win each game.
0 -
I love going against this kind of team, usually it's an easy game where everyone is slugged for getting too cocky. They try to do the shenanigans that some streamers with 3000h do to baby killers, but that doesn't work if the killer is experienced
2 -
Teams like this, I slug and let them all bleed out.
1 -
This is the best way to handle a team that prioritizes denying the killer hooks over doing gens. Though, after three bleed out I usually get bored and just hook the fourth so I can move on.
0 -
Nah, I just let them bleed out and make my own fun by playing this song and nodding to the beat:
1 -
Nice. I've had times when I moonwalked and danced in circles around slugs to this
I'm sure the survivors would appreciate the humor if they could hear the song, too.
1 -
As a team? I haven't seen many, other than the toxic swf. But I've seen plenty of solos that will try and be the next Noob3 or Ochido, at the cost of the rest of the survivors. Had a Bill last night against my Hag that spent all his time teabagging me at loops. Wasn't even that good at chases.
Frankly, it disappoints me. Not because I want a decent game, but because I know how it feels to have horrible team mates. To have a team mate throwing the match, just to get some kind of weird gratification at butt dancing? If I see the remaining survivors trying to actually have a match, I'll let them out at the end, so long as I get to tenderize the one.
0 -
Nah, that's the song I play during the process of slugging.
1 -
it can be annoying but god it's satisfying to 4k slug them
(also don't ever t-bag a ghostface he can t-bag you in dying state for 4 minutes which i occasionally do to those survivors)
2 -
I hate toxicity. If players are throwing the game to be toxic, their deaths don't give them a pass. They were toxic.
If players throw games by being overly altruistic and constantly going for (and getting) saves, but aren't being wankers about the whole thing, then it's more am annoyance. Which means I don't like going against them, but I don't hold it against them either.
1 -
When I encounter ######### like this if i think i can win i slug them and let them bleed out. Otherwise i hook one and facecamp him, they eventually all come to save him and usually ge to kill at least 2 of them, usually 3 or all. It can get irritating but you just have to change your mentality and don't play by the "community rules" and play by their rules, so go dirty.
Oh and then enjoy the end game chat, this is the best part.
0 -
These teams are hilarious to play against and provided you dont act like a jackass immediately post chat there usually nice people. Something a lot of killers myself included are guilty of is big egos.
Being humbled by the head on flashlight firing lines is humorous and probably the best way you can take time out to hone your mechanics since gen speed is no longer an issue for the most part.
Its important to be able to laugh and accept you can make mistakes and lose survivors to saves because if you can then you'll be able to better spot where you mess up.
These groups arent personally out to male fun of you. They like your own goals are out to do some impressive plays view them as competitiors not bullies.
0 -
Im cool with any survivor playing the game however they like but the moment they give up in a trial because they realize they won't win easily is where I draw the line. I'll show no mercy if they try to act all nice and want to farm once things stop going their way.
1 -
So you are ok with it and the teams have to be good for you to feel bad. Now let me ask you this. Would you prefer those good teams that harass you or bad teams that rarely challenge you.
0 -
So you prefer bad teams who arent competent than good teams who are?
0 -
Why is it boring if the chases are good? Is it irritating because the survivors are constantly interacting with you? In my opinion that's the fun part. Could you elaborate because that confuses me.
0 -
This is mostly my thoughts. If you play good as killer nothing should go wrong. All the techs will be countered and used against them. In my experience when the teams I face find out I'm good they try and sit on gens.
0 -
Any team that goes out fo their way to harass a good killer is losing the game. They are not escaping a competent killer. Smurfing is a whole nother story. I'm not defending it but at the current point matchmaking is already messed up for both sides and killers are bulling baby survivors too.
If you are subjected to a match where survivors are willingly giving them to you and not hiding why tf are you grated? You are getting chase interaction and not a hide and seek game. So tell me which do you prefer ?
0 -
Man,don't be like that.
He clearly said that he hates survivors that try to be overly obnoxious.
0 -
So excluding keys and haddon field cause those need nerfs you want survivors to use no good perks or you are gonna be big mad. Well if you rather face bot survivors and not improve be my guess but personally I find that weird.
0 -
Personally i have nothing against playing against good survivors,but i don't really like it when they are toxic though it's just annoying and unnecessary
1 -
If I had to choose between just those 2 I'll take the bad teams. Why would I choose a team that's going to harass me even if it is a challenge?
2 -
The harassing teams are just annoying. When I was new and getting paired with high ranks either swf or solo, it tended to be a swf(3-4), they would completely ignore gens and swarm me. It was awful for sure and made me question playing killer role again.
had some awesome high rank solos that were fairly chill and let me get hits occasionally or figure out a killers power.
now it’s just, ok idk why you aren’t doing gens so enjoy crawling. Usually after slugging 3 then they tend to reset and proper play or dc
1 -
That’s not what I’m saying at all. A player can be competent without being obnoxious.
3 -
It is disrespectful on the part of the survivors to make fun of the murderer without knowing what he is capable of doing in the game. I already have a lot of experience against these types of players and most of the time I win narrowly, I make sure they feel the same as I did when I was just a rookie in the red ranks as a killer, I have no mercy with any and alls of the techniques of deception and mind games don't work for me.
0 -
On the one hand, it is pretty satisfying to feign ignorance then punish toxic survivor groups who expect the killer to fall for all their tricks.
On the other hand, if the survivors are being toxic AND are actually good, it feels awful to go against because you realize how little power the killer actually has even if the survivors are actually going out of their way to harass you. I might get a hit on some flashlight clicker, but if they know how to string tiles together it doesn't really matter how calmly I play it. They're going to use their speed burst to get to a strong loop and keep on clicking.
1 -
Depends.
Am I trying to have a normal game? They're annoying, but I'll try to slaughter them all and bathe in their salt. The Entity is usually very pleased with the results.
Am I trying to finish a challenge or trophy? Then I ######### hate them because usually they'll make whatever I'm trying to finish even harder and I prioritize challenges and trophies over winning. I'll take zero kills and a depip if it means completing whatever I needed to.
0 -
I can respect this mind set, me personally I am competitive so I do go for wins every game.
1 -
Exactly this minus the slugged if you mean slugged til bleed out. That being said an experienced killer should always come out on top against these teams.
0 -
That's unnecessary I just bm back, I nod and shake my head, and hit on the hook. I dont slug to bleed out except for special cases of survivors.
0 -
I've had the same happen in solo queue, a bad player attempts to try and abuse the killer then gets clapped and dcs. It hurts the team and I can respect you for letting the others out. It's mostly bad mm they need to make a way to put good players with good players and vice versa.
1 -
I'll give you that 4k slugging a bully squad is satisfying. Then hooking each one of them and giving them a love tap at the end.
0 -
I wouldn't call it toxicity, I would say cocky. Tbagging and pressing m2 a couple times isnt affecting me. All you have to do is outplay them and make they respect you and the clicking should stop. It happens all the time a few survivors think they will bully me then I put an end to that quick.
0 -
"Fellow Killer Mains" okay Azame
3 -
That’s why I always run light born people play like that waste of a flashlight
0 -
I'm not into the whole let them bleed put but it's fair game play as dirty as you want in terms of camping or tunneling. Like you said these teams will all come to save their friend as they are overly altruistic.
They should have a enough salt to fill the ocean by then.
0 -
Yes a bad group of survivors usually arent "obnoxious".
0 -
This response right here. Even though they are "bullying" you (dont actually mean bully) you will improve. They will help you hone your chases, your iq, and much more. You describe perfectly what these teams do. They are your fellow competitor.
0 -
I've had this happen lol, they try and crouch and give me items even though they were clicking and tbagging a few seconds ago.
0 -
BM is BM. There's no hiding that, if what you are doing is intended to antagonise someone then it's toxic. And the only reason to clicky clicky t-bag is to antagonise someone.
And if someone doesn't respect their opponents, I don't care about earning it. They're not worth it.
4 -
This I can understand you just dont want toxicity in your game.
1 -
There are also a lot of good survivors that don't have to act overly obnoxious/toxic.
You made him sound like he just wants to play against weak opponents and stomp them,which was clearly not his intention.
3 -
At the time I didn't have Lightborn or Franklin's on Freddy and I didn't want to lobby dodge cuz for some reason that day wait times were exceptionally long.
