Why do killers slash you while you are on hook?
Why do killers slash you while you are on hook? Do they get something out of it? Like if I run a killer for ten minutes why do they sit and hit you while you are on hook? Does it take out their frustrations, because frankly it seems kind of jerkish.

It’s just to be a dickhead like teabagging a killer much worse than you

The only time I hit on hook is when the character is Elodie because it stops her loud scream early
24 -
It is a jerk move
If it's a Plague though and she's puking on you it's not being rude or a jerk she's 99% of the time just starting your infection timer for when you're unhooked!

I do it to survivors who annoyed the crap of me during the trial as a sort of "that's what you get".
Otherwise, if it's unwarranted, then understand it as the killer's version of teabagging.

If killer slashes me on the hook I just laugh because I figure they're butt hurt about something I did - usually looped them for couple gens or committed to finish gen as they were heading towards me instead of running away or finished cleansing hex totem as they were walking towards me or for some reason they had hard time finding me even though I wasn't playing stealth I just wasn't wearing neon/white with arrow pointing at my location. I think of it like how the survivors that teabag at exit are usually the worst ones. It's never the good ones that stand there slashing the hooked survivor or teabagging at the exits.

It's just a way to show survivor who is the boss and to remind them where they are and what will happen if they get unhooked. It's psychology and if you take on the role as a killer you should act like one also. People complain about the game not being scary at all well with so many killers running around being nice it's not strange. You should terrorize the survivors in every way you can. When I play survivor I want the killer to act like a killer, to really feel that he/she/it is the enemy.

So iri heads and moris for you got it

Looks like an angry gesture after it took them awhile to catch that survivor.

On mobile in particular, it seems that they want you to hurry up a dsuicode so they can stop camping you and hunt your teammates. That’s why I hang on as long as I can unless someone is coming for a save that’ll kill us both (ie Basement Bubba).

Why do you teabag?
9 -
When I was first playing Huntress I used to use the last hooked survivor as target practice for my hatchets so I could get the aim down.
3 -
Because I tabbed out and forgot to turn around beforehand
2 -
They just want to express their dominance
1 -
Honestly when I get slashed on the hook I love it because it means that they were annoyed by me. If you're a killer you probably shouldn't slash someone on the hook who annoyed you because it gives them the satisfaction that they were trying to get.
2 -
The only non-BM purpose is because they hate the overly loud cries of pain.
2 -
Because Elodie's hook scream is very loud
4 -
It's because they like to beat their meat.

Counter question: WHY DOES ANYONE CARE?
It wastes the killers time and is basically just the equivalent of the killer teabagging on you like you did to him after you dropped the pallet
2 -
Cuts off screaming. If its more than one time its pretty obvious its bming.
1 -
When im on hook and killers is hitting me im laugh because its funny. So sometimes i do this if match is boring
0 -
I like to take it as a compliment because it suggests I outplayed them to the point of annoyance. Had one hit me on hook once after I flashlight saved someone.
2 -
They're just wasting time to give your teammates those few extra seconds to slam gens, totems, heal, etc. Some killers are just considerate that way. ;)
2 -
If you tbagged the whole game, that's what you get in return.
However, if you're the last one alive and you get hooked, the killer hits you just because it's boring to stand there and wait for the sacrifice.
2 -
It's just toxic killer behavior.
A lot of killers like to rag on survivors for teabagging, this is the killer equivalent.
2 -
When I was a baby killer, I had seen killers do it to me and I thought it actually did something... I felt so bad when I realized it didn't lol.
0 -
For the same reason you tbag after pallet stunning the killer.

It can mean many things. First of all, and that counts especially for me, it's happening, when a survivor managed to loop me for quite a long time. I play this game for 2.5k Hours but still can't loop for an entire round straight. So I am angry if others do it, also because it just ruins the fun for everyone. The killer maybe has one hook (I also had rounds with zero hooks), the gens are done within 3 minutes, and they all teabag in the exit. Who wins that round? Noone had as much fun as if the round is balanced (Which I have way not enough). And so if I do catch a survivor, I hit him like "Know your place, trash".
Sometimes I even camp them. I know everyone complains about campers, but for me, I try to avoid it, but can't if it's a survivor I can be sure will escape if he gets unhooked.
Especially when the exit gates are open and you have no NOED, that's when survivors get toxic because they know they win anyway
0 -
Its the non Pig/Ghosty way of teabagging. Or they hate the survivors scream.
0 -
I don't teabag. So it isn't payback. I guess for those who mention teabagging assume all survivors are toxic.
0 -
I came here to say the exact same thing! At first, I thought it must do something -- accelerate the sacrifice slightly or give bloodpoints or something.
1 -
I'll only do it to someone who teabagged me cause they made a vault or pallet earlier in the trial. It's my equivalent of saying "who's teabagging now?", and I'll usually only do it on their death hook.
If you see other Killers do it and no one has BM'd them in that match, they're probably just salty from teabaggers from previous games or just in a bad mood.
2 -
Yep, cuts off screaming which is annoying on many survivors.
0 -
They really like losing time off their generators.
0 -
Because Dwight screeming annoys me so i shut him up. plus if i suspect people have followed me i may want the surv to shut up as sound plays a huge role.
0 -
The more times you get smacked on the hook, the better the killer thinks you are. Think of each smack as the killer praising you for your survivor chase and loop skills and each smack is a gold star.
0 -
Because Killer was ######### bot and if he hook you after 5 gen chase he is angry as ######### xD
0 -
This, lol.
1 -
Because I don't want to be deaf after hearing Elodie screaming... Besides that, I just do it if the survivor tried to BM me, you know, returning the favor.
When I started playing DBD I thought that hitting survs on hooks would stop others from knowing where he was hooked (since it would stop the screaming) but nowadays just for the reasons above.
0 -
It's because they love you.
0 -
I personally do it if a survivor gave me a hard time unless im playing as plague i puke on people cuz it's gross
0 -
Variety of reasons.
BM
Payback for some way you annoyed them earlier
The reason I do it is because hitting a survivor directly after you hook them cuts off their screams allowing you to hear better.
1 -
Oh it´s when they are mad at you because you gave them a hard time :D
Just take it like a champ, and also, it looks HILLARIOUS especially when dumb Killers like Billy or Bubba do it haha
0 -
Part of it because the scream
0 -
I'll slap you once to shut up the scream. Newer characters have really annoying screeching. A quick slap cuts it off. Not doing it to be toxic, but Elodie and Zarina sound like a dying cat in a wind tunnel.
0 -
Killers being toxic ? Noooooo, its never happening
0 -
There are some survivors who see it as a triumph. That they got under the skin of the killer. When I play killer I don't hit even the most laborious of teabaggers on the hook. Just continue on with the game at hand. There's not much worse than being ignored, especially if a survivor has done everything to wind you up.
