I Just Want To Vent
I really love this game, I really, really do but the player base is so [bad word] toxic I'm finding it really hard to enjoy it anymore.
So maybe I'm playing a bit poorly as Killer, messing up loops or missing hits and what ever, that doesn't give anyone the right to INSULT me by stopping mid chase to t-bag taunt brag about how "Nenierneniernenier you can't catch me!". [BAD WORD] You! [BAD WORD] so [BAD WORD]ing hard.
I'm a person, I play this game to have fun, not be insulted. And, no, it is not "Part of the game". Crouching is meant to doge attacks, to hide, we all know that rapid crouching to t-bag is meant as an insult, as a taunt. That person is taking deliberate action to insult me. You can't just 'accidentally' hit your crouch button five times in a row.
"Get thicker skin bro" well [bad word] you to, I can't just turn off my feelings. I can't just flip a magic switch in my brain that makes deliberate insults not hurt. I worked had to get to where I am now, I'm a literal sociopath and had to TRAIN myself to feel empathy for others so I didn't wind up doing something really bad because I just didn't care about other people. But because of the therapy and training I went though to, you know, have actual human emotions, I feel it when someone does something that I know is morally wrong, that someone who actually cares about others wouldn't do. Because I'm hyper aware of that stuff, because if I'm not hyper aware of it I'm not aware of it at all and that's really dangerous.
I just wish more people thought about what their actions did to other people. I wish they just took a moment to think on if they were face to face with this the other person, who they know next to nothing about, if they'd still insult them.
I just want to have fun again.

Just pick Bubba and chill at the first hook, m8.

Imo if a game is causing you to have these kinda rants, I'd stop playing. It just doesn't sound fun if one game is causing this much frustration.

Most humans lack empathy so nothing out of the ordinary.
I guess it is hard to not trying to insult others these days or slow down on the ego.
It is just a click bro. Sure. But why? Is it neccessary? Seems like gaslighting to me.

I have accidentally teabagged people before. Not in this game, but in Overwatch, sometimes it just comes out when I play my boi Hog. And everyone gets so sensitive when it was just an accident. Lol.

I think if you get pretty sensitive to this stuff you definitely shouldn't play as much and or take breaks.
I'm not justifying people's actions because ultimately, you're right. People shouldn't act like this and say horrendous things but it is just the way people are man. It is part of the game and its never gonna go away, people have been like this in online gaming badly for the last nearly 20 years.
It's just part of it but quite a few people have to be extreme towards others and I just don't get it myself like.

You can accidentally tap the crouch button on console esp the ps5 controllers
I have accidently crouched mid chase right in front of the killer because the crouch button can be very sensitive
Also if you see me t-bagging I'm usually doing with the thought of how the game was in the old days when you t-bagged to try to get the killer to farm or to goof off like a tribal butt dance

Honestly, nothing will change. The game feeds on toxicity. It makes money and the devs won't do anything more than their abysmal chat censor. Just go on YouTube and watch how so many swfs are having fun and laughing, all at the killers expense. If you notice, most of them have auric cells cosmetics on.
I suggest you switch to survivor, master Nurse or find a new game.
1 -
Yeah, wow.
Honest suggestion-- and I say this because it's been a godsend to me in the past-- drop the game entirely.
You can have fun. But if that's the kind of thing that's gonna drag you down, then this isn't the game that's gonna give you fun. I played League for a long while, I enjoyed it, but eventually it just started making me absolutely miserable thanks to its still-hilariously-miserable community.
So I dropped it. Still don't regret it to this day.
There's more games out there for ya, man. There were for me.

This exists in pretty much every game and you cant do anything about that. Think about League of Legends, CSGO, Valorant or anything else. Its the same, the completly same. If you dont want that its better if you play a good single player like Skyrim or Minecraft.

I think you need a break. I had survivors t-bag me yesterday. You know what I did? Ignored them and continued to play the game. I can't really understand why this bothers people so much that they have to come to the forums and create a whole thread about it.
1 -
That is the main thing about PVP games in general, especially when the game is popular and filled with 2 brain cell toxic people. That's the main reason i dropped LoL and with my homies began to look for chill coop games, like payday 2 or minecraft.
Playing singleplayer games is also a really good option if you don't have friends who play some coop pve games or if there are solo games that you want to play.

Take a break if it affecting you in real life. You will find those who teabag aren't that good. If you're lucky they will go against a sweaty person who run the smol pp build for killer.

Just gonna say, Cookie Clicker just hit Steam yesterday. I for one, played it earlier to decompress from some bad killer games.
When you get tilted: finish the trial, then take a break. Decompress and comeback later. Playing while tilted isn't going to make you less tilted, in fact you'll probably psych yourself out.

I think calling t bagging "morally wrong" is a stretch lol. When people taunt over games it's not because they lack empathy, it's because it's just a game. If it hurts you that much to be BM'd it's time to stop interacting with randoms on the internet
1 -
I just laugh at them and really don't care if someone wants to t-bag after a stun. That extra 3 seconds would give them even greater distance so it really isn't that much of a problem. Also some people do it to make you angry so you lose your concentration and play poorly. I've had games in the past where survivor did go under my skin and game went horribly wrong after that. So many missed attacks and I just lost my focus to that game. That was when I changed and just ignored it to keep my focus on a game rather than go "rage mode".
That will never gonna change in pvp games. I suggest to ingore them or don't care about them or just simply take a break from the game.

I'm sorry you feel this way. I know how heartless people seem when playing. I know it's easier said then done to just ignore them but sometimes it's hard. I say take a short break from the game.
I emphasize with you and hope you get better and just remember not every one is like this.

you want to vent? idk bro thats kinda sus
1 -
Yes but the point is... Everyone is bullying Killers, and then saying things like, "Stop playing."
Is this what you Survivors really want? To push all Killers out of the game? They're ALREADY doing you a service every game, allowing 4 people to have fun at the expense of that 5th person playing the sucker role.
What happens when nobody wants to be the sucker anymore?

I'm a killer but agree he should stop playing. It's not about pushing killers out of the game, it's about shutting the ######### up about something you can just not participate in if it's causing this much emotional turmoil
2 -
Yes ######### me. I used to be like you when it came to those stupid survivors. But I learned how to actually punish them and how not to ruin my mental health due to idiots. Try to see it as someone that is stupid enough to believe you are bad. So prove them wrong. Don't overcomit to chases with them. Try to chase their friends that can't loop. Straight up showing them that they were idiots for believing they are superior and taunting you actually punishes them.
Or you can just ignore this message, ######### me and then continue to ruin your mental health because of idiots.

I still can't get over the "you survivors" thing.
If they play killer, but playing killer stresses them out this much.. like, what do you want me to say?
We can't fix the game. People who can BM, will-- It's up to BHVR to actually make DbD an enjoyable experience for everyone.
All I can do is recommend the healthiest option.

I think if you know about your health conditions and what you have already been through, you should also understand that there are trolls/jerks online who will attempt to get under your skin, so when people say grow thicker skin they aren’t trying to get you to flip a switch.
They are offering you a solution which is that YOU need to either tell yourself that they aren’t worth your time, so in other words “move on” from it, turn off post match chat (whatever you gotta do for yourself) OR remove yourself entirely from the situation I.E. take a break from the game.
Nobody on here is Oprah or Dr Phil to be able to give you the right answer. So all we can really do is give you some advice. Because it is something you are gonna have to work out yourself, because many of us get hit with the same kind of ridiculous trolls and know our limits. You just gotta learn yours.

Well, here's the thing...
BM'ing is one thing. BHVR may or may not ban people that do it, blah blah blah.
... ... ... But - real talk - if the game wasn't so easy for SWF's or generally decent players, then there'd be less BM'ing that way, too, because BM'ing tends to come from people getting wins all the time. It inflates their ego, they start to think they're better than they are, and the 4v1 nature of the game means they rarely eat their own words. They're very safe & secure when they BM. And that's a balance thing.
Imagine a 4v1 in CSGO, and how much BM'ing there would be from the 4 side. But take that away, make it the regular 5v5 that it is, and you end up with a fraction of the BM'ing situations. (That is, across to the other team. Still BM'ing among teammates, of course, lmao.)

Again, BHVR has to solve that.
We have to take the measures to deal with BM how we can in the meantime. And if you gotta just drop the game to do that, then that's what i'm gonna recommend.

I kinda agree with you but usually when somebody tbags me and i outplay them then they will tell me to go ######### myself but it is hilarious how they react
0 -
Yeah not gonna lie when I see a survivor t bag me after they stun me I am most likely gonna tunnel them to death in retaliation. It's all apart of the fun though
1 -
Spookyloopz made a video recently, talking about how to counter every loop, I'd recommend watching it.
What I say is if someone is gonna be toxic, I'll just do the same :)
I wouldn't encourage toxicity, and would prefer if people weren't toxic. But I say toxicity is allowed if someone did it first.
However, if you have a bad game with a bunch of toxic players, don't take it out on the people in the next game!
1 -
I don't teabag spam all too much but I think I will start doing it more since it pisses people with weak mentalities off.
You can't turn off your feelings but you can change your mentality and not associate everything to 'toxicity/insults'.
I wish we can go back to the days when movies like Tropic Thunder came out and had a black man played by a white man and there was no outrage.

You can ignore tbags and brush them off but pretending they are not an insult is disingenuous. When you tbag the killer after you got a stun you are insulting him, there's no other interpretation. I agree that it's dumb to get triggered a random guy on the internet insulting you but don't lie to yourself pretending it's not intended as a taunt.
