Killers. Up, down, or to the side?
When a survivor tries to blind you which way do you turn?
Personally I'm part of the look down gang when I'm carrying a survivor. You can see the survivors feet so it makes it easier to track them, and from what I understand you can't really tell the killer is looking at the floor because they usually don't stop trying to blind me. Looking up just feels so wrong. If I'm playing Nurse and someone flashlights me mid chase I'll turn to side for some reason. Idk why I do tbh but ye.
Anyways up or down gang? Or to the side?

Idk why people look up because you can't see where you're going. But to each their own I guess.

Indeed.

down. makes it a lot easier to track them and hit them if they get too greedy.
its also a lot less obvious you're not looking on their screen, so they might be continuing to try and blind you, not understanding why it wont work.

Up, but it usually doesn't work somehow.

Down.

Side and I guess so far at least I'm the weird one :D
If I'm looking to the side, I can see out of the "Corner of my eye" where I'm going. So I can be sure I'm not about to run into an obstacle or pallet or something on my way to the hook if I turn my head to the side while still avoiding the blindness.

Either up or spin the opposite direction of the beam.

I look down.
Unfortunately, that doesn't work with fire crackers. You have to look up I think.

I find it really doesn’t matter, you can turn away at the last second or straight up turn 180 degrees in the other direction but survivors will still manage to get a blind by some god forsaken miracle

I look up. Just a habit i guess

To the side if im not carrying anyone, up if i am.

I have Lightborn so I looked straight at them.

exactly.
I also look down... I then I hear a firecracker and go "#########..."

Down unless they're below me or it's a firecracker

Directly into the flashlight to assert dominance

down, unless it's a firecracker or i'm walking down some stairs, in which case up

Down. You can track by feet, and the survivor doesn't get a visual queue that you do this, so they'll waste some of their battery. It's not efficient to look up, and the side doesn't work because of blinding hitboxes.

Yep, my first instinct is to look down as well 😂

I used to look up at first, but other content creators convinced me to start looking down. I still try to look up when it comes to firecrackers/flash grenades, though.

I usually look up, but sometimes I will look down.

If I'm playing seriously I'll look up, but usually I just spin my mouse around a lot and swing at them. If they somehow get a save during that chaos then I think they earned it.

I don't think some people know you can look down. Survivors are always confused and think you are running Lightborn.
1 -
I typically look up.

Up. It's faster and more effective and avoids firecrackers and grenades.
1 -
Random, I guess. In a chase up, when they stay still and try to blind depends on if I have a survivor on my shoulder, without to the side and with up but never really down thanxks to crackers.
And I am still trying to get Lightborn an all killers so I can simply ignore them. But even blinded I close my eyes and focus on the sound to keep the chase up.
