Trying to get the David Adept again, but people can be so toxic
As you can tell from the title, I was trying to get my David adept achievement (I'm a completionist and like to get all achievements in this game) and this is the second time I'm doing it as it's my second steam account and thought I'd try and get everything in the game, complete every tome challenge, get every character to P3 level 50, and get all the perks for the characters. I've already got about 20 characters to level 50 in the two weeks (80 hours) that I've had on this account and think I'm doing pretty well.
With every character I play as, I try to get the adept for them as soon as I hit level 10, as I then have 3 perk slots, and David is easily the hardest adept to get because you basically have 3 lives for the entire trial. (Also before I even post this I have to say that I did just get the adept achievement lol).
But before the game I played, I played a game against an "LJ" on DBD, they were a PC player playing doctor. They were a rank 2 killer with gen regression perks, like Pop and Thrilling tremors and ended up losing the game. We finished all of the gens with little to no effort at all, and it was a fairly easy game.
But, right at the end of a quite fun match, this killer decides to go and kill me, which is to be assumed when using No Mither, probably the worst perk (and most difficult) in the entire game. In no way was I expecting the killer to let me escape to get my adept, but I did feel targeted due to me having No Mither, which again isn't a problem. But to be downed, taken to the furthest part of the map from the doors and proxy camped just to establish a kill on the guy with No Mither really frustrated me.
I know not everyone will be at my skill level, and everyone has proxy camped or tunnelled at one point to complete a challenge or establish a kill, but in this particular instance it frustrated me, as when I play killer now, I literally NEVER slug, proxy camp or tunnel, even to the worst survivors and especially after a I've had a Fun Game, like this one was. I main hag usually, and the only times I ever slug are completely accidental, mainly because I spam the CTRL key when I know someone I'm in a chase with is running into my territory, which means if someone is unhooked and also runs into a trap, I'm not exactly going to ignore it.
But anyway, the real toxicity came in the chat afterward. To summarise, two of my teammates camped at the exit gate, which in solos is understable. The other teammate though, decided to try and go for the save, getting as close as they possibly could to me without taking a hit. She swung her arm, told the Doctor to come for her to no avail, and even got right up next to me on the hook, and the Doctor wouldn't even hit her, he didn't even want to give her the chance of getting me off of the hook, and then she was grabbed off, and thrown to the floor by this "LJ".
Then another teammate tried to come and rescue me, but I was dead before he could reach my location, which also wasn't a good idea anyway as I was literally a pixel away from dying. The Doctor hit my body as I went up, signalling to me that he killed me because of the No Mither, as we all ran him around a decent amount and I barely interacted with him at all, as when I ran him, I was trying to take him away from the side of the map that had gens (Maybe this was also a reason he hated me SO much, but there's no telling).
Only one person ended up escaping that game, but that's not what bothered me. What bothered me was the endgame chat, and the clear reason as to why he camped me specifically was because of the adept, as he didn't camp any survivors when I went into the spectator mode. I don't understand why people would try to ruin other peoples fun that badly, especially considering the end game chat got pretty toxic. There were GG's thrown around, but the insults this killer threw at us just because we did all the gens and he didn't pressure them properly or use his Pop affectivley and decided to chase me solely because I had No Mither on and was trying to get my adept were just nuts. He won the match too! (Got a 3k, where a 2k would have been a draw).
This isn't really much of a discussion as it is a story, but it baffles me how some people want to ruin other peoples fun that bad. I know sometimes people have bad days, but this community, the Dead By Daylight community can just be so extreme and aggressive sometimes, and it is really disheartening.
There are always going to be toxic people out there, especially in competitive games, but ######### like this just saddens me and makes me think of all the good times I had as a rank 20 killer back before I "Got Good" and shot up to red ranks.

It's end game? They literally have nothing else to do.

Yes it's the endgame, and they have to secure a kill somehow, I do the same thing. That's not what I'm saying.
What I'm saying, and what you can clearly gather from the post and what I said about this persons maneurisms, is that they almost certainly targeted me because they were trying to be toxic.
The endgame chat was also proof enough, just a bad player, having a bad day, trying to take it out on someone else, and someone running No Mither is an easy target. Surely you could tell by the context of the post that this is the case? Or did you just skim read it and come up with the conclusion that you assume I hadn't already thought about that for no reason?

I've read your previous responses and comments in other threads as well, and it seems to me like, and correct me if I'm wrong, just because you've been a member since 2018 and have 3.5k posts/comments on other threads means you're above everyone else, and assume that not everyone has the exact same knowledge as you?
The whole, "Get good kid" is quite outdated and just seems like a pretty boring, irrelevant and non-constructive thing to say just because, what, you want to increase your ever growing posts?
But, I may be wrong, who knows. It definitely seems like you have some sort of superiority complex. But maybe that's just me.

I've read your previous comments in other threads, and it seems to me, and correct me if I'm wrong, that you feel the need to just comment on other peoples posts with irrelevant, boring and non-constructive responses just to fill up your 3.5k personal post meter and then upvote them with second accounts just to make yourself and more powerful and flex your superiority complex, which skyrockets your ego through the roof.
I could be wrong, but that's just my guess, especially considering my OG post was pretty well thought out and written to make it very clear that I wasn't frustrated with the actual gameplay and strats this Doctor used in order to kill me specifically and clearly stated that the reasons he killed me are definitely because he was a toxic player, and not because I lack knowledge about the game.

Just out of curiosity, and I'm asking genuinely... In your mind, what's the best move for the killer in that situation? I mean, you said it yourself, he went from losing the match to getting a 3k - that's a pretty good comeback. Without considering the endgame chat too much only because we can't see it, I don't really think his gameplay sounds toxic

The gameplay wasn't toxic, but to rage and be toxic in the endgame chat after the game had finished says a lot about the persons mindset during that situation, not to mention the bashing over and over again on my first hook just to, what, get a rise out of me?
I'm not sure. Again, I said in a previous comment that I've done this strat before, but to be toxic after you've made a comeback just rubbed me the wrong way made me anaylse the entire mindset of what this guy was going through during that game. Maybe something bad happened to him, who knows.
If any commentary is to be taken away from this experience for me though, it's that we really shouldn't take out our anger in such awful ways. I mean, I remember playing MW2 way back when and hearing people talk about how they wanted to unspeakable things to you, a loved one etc just because they lost one single, ten minute game of TDM. It's not insane to assume this is also the thought process of this specific player as well.

Ahh, I getcha now. I was too focused on the gameplay portion of your post lol. But I absolutely agree people get way too serious when dealing with other people online, it's kind of sickening at times. Might seem lame or boring but I think the best way to deal with it really is to just ignore them. Just don't let them have that voice
