How do killer only users feel about confident survivors?
How do you guys killer only users feel about survivors who have no fear or respect of you guys?
We all had those matches where there has been survivors that don't care about you being there, show no respect, will make a lot of noise and do gens in your face. Because I know a couple of people who get mad when they see confident survivors.

They annoy me a bit. Not as much as open BMing, but I'll play hardball with them and the usual rules I have in place to try and make things fun for survivors don't always apply.
Confident survivors without the skill or proper timing to back themselves up are hilariously fun, though.

Doesn’t matter to me. They die just the same. I’ll hit em with some BM on their way out.

Why do they annoy you? If they are not doing any shenanigans that is, if they just confident?

Unless they bm I don't see a problem with confidence. I played both sides tho, not just killer.

Confident is fine, but if they're clicky clicky, flashlight spamming, window vault spamming little turds, I just ignore them for the whole match unless they're out positioned.

Idk what Survivors you get, but mine always do Generators in my face if it means completion.
If they don't complete it then i'll just down them, ezpz.
The noise-makers to distract you and Flashlight-clickers who follow you are fantastic Survivors to have for the Killer, they betray their locations and completely halt 25% of their side's productivity.
The noises never bothered me anyway, so if someone's Locker'ing or vaulting then i just hunt the others to keep up that 25%.
Flashlight-clickers are different, i prefer to not have someone around who can free my freshly-downed Survivors, i like hooking.

The line between confidence and BMing can be slim sometimes. I don't like when survivors run along behind me while I carry someone to the hook (apart from the free hit or grab I get) or run in circles after a pallet because it gives the impression they're not taking me seriously. I don't mind the gen commitment much because that usually equates to free hits, but survivors trying to tech and bait me are a bit obnoxious because... well, the fact that they think I don't know what they're doing irks me. The cheekier my opponents are, the more serious I take the match, and I prefer to play as non-serious as possible.
Also, I don't know anyone who doesn't get annoyed when they get bodyblocked. Especially with BT.
I'm also less fond of those matches because fearless survivors tend to complete gens quicker - they don't spook as easily and they go straight back to gens as soon as they're not being chased, so it's harder to split pressure without slugging. Confident teams end the match faster and that's no fun.
Though I'm not a killer-only player; didn't catch that part of the title.

I never really got the mindset of killers being like "survivors are supposed to be afraid of me, i'm the killer" without looking at the context of the game:
These characters(and the people playing them) have been facing killers over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and over again to the point where they know their limitations, they know what a killer can and cannot do, just as the killer knows what survivors can and cannot do.
If you want players to be scared of you, you would need to start playing extremely unpredictable, be in places where they never expect you to be and use perks they are not familliar with.
If you're too scared of letting go of meta perks for the sake of making some white pants brown, then you're not in a position to demand survivors being scared of you.

Doing gens in my face does annoy me. I understand where they're coming from, I do it myself, but still.

How about survivors who moonwalk during a chase? 😂

Chads. Too powerful a force to be reckoned with.

This is a matchmaking issue IMO. People develop map and situational awareness the longer the play the game, so, if you get a mismatch where one person has A LOT more hours (or is just naturally a lot faster at understanding geography and gaming tactics), then you end up with frustrating stand-offs where one person understands right away that the situation is safe for them (because they have a god pallet and a window, etc, etc) and the other person, who doesn't understand that right away, is like, "Why are you acting like I'm not even here???"
If less experienced players were mostly matching with other less experienced players, it would be less frustrating.

it's whatever, i get easily irritated but it's easy to blow off steam with meme builds or switching sides and such. nothing better than throwing ten flashbangs in a row after getting stomped in a 5 min game with a killer you're new with.

Acknowledge they are good so take my injure and leave them to find someone who's not as good. If it's a full good team well either die or hope your playing a decent killer

I just take the free points, they feed me way harder than survivors who respect what I am capable of.
The worst are the survivors who gen rush and leave. I never even get to play, really. At least the ones who swarm you are extremely interactive.

I don't really care, as it makes sense that an experienced survivor is willing to do stuff like use health states as a resource and such. It's simply part of the game and there's times and places where it's the right play, and times and places where it's not.
EDIT: And oh, didn't see the "killer ONLY" in the title. I'm by no means killer only, as playing either side exclusively would've probably made me burn out on the game at least 2000 hours ago 😄

This. That's like asking survivors if they get mad when a killer knows how to red stain mindgame or something. You should be happy to play against good players. You don't improve by playing against insta drop pallet megheads.

If I see survivors that are confident and do gens and very bold plays I play harsher than I would normally.
That's not to say I play soft anyways. But with survivors that show me they have no fear and will go down to do gens, I just assume they will do gens instantly, as soon as I give them a chance, so I try not to give them a chance, no matter how early in the game it is. This is not out of spite, or annoyance it's more like I've seen what happens when I try for a second to be easy on survivors.

Bored.
These people are usually on coms so no point playing out the match. It's already lost.

They always makes me feel bored to.
An unknown person trying to impress you to show you how good they are, wow...

I don't personally really care. Survivors that are BM'ing and careless about my presence are usually non-threats by the endgame because of their arrogance. As the wonderful wayne june once said, "Pride often precipitates a dizzying fall."

I don't get mad, but I do try to take advantage of their cockiness. These players always swarm the hook, Bubba likes that.

As long as the Survivors don't do anything especially annoying or BMing, usually I'd just treat them like any other survivor.
If I'm dominating them, I'd try to give them a chance so I can get more points. If it's an even match, I'd try my hardest to make sure I go back to dominating them. But if they're bringing the pain train, I would show no mercy and make sure you leave this match dead with no points.
It doesn't matter if the survivor is cocky or confident. If you're competent, then that's when the fun begins.
