Casual or Competitive?

I'm genuinely curious to know who plays the game casually just to have fun on either side or plays in a more competitive nature on either side?

Plus your reasoning for doing so.

For me, I did play this game extremely competitively back in the day but as of over the last year I just play to have fun on either side. I'm not going in to be a sweat as survivor nor killer, it's rare I do honestly.

I like to go in and just have good chases at least and some funny teabags(I know a lot of people find it toxic but to me I can't find a character in an online game doing an action toxic. It's funny asf, whether I play killer or survivor) and as killer I like to go in and just mainly throws hatchets with Huntress to get some good hits.

Although I'm not a fan of sweaty and competitive players. I'm not gonna disrespect your opinion just because I don't agree with it. If it's extremely ignorant that's when I just won't respond.

    I like to play serious but considering I'm in Solo Q this barely happens, especially as survivor.

    But when I play killer I would say I'm more of a casual mainly because of my First statement. When I see that the team is a solo one, I usually go slow on them. Otherwise, If I know I'm dealing with toxic SWF's or the likes, I go full tryhard on them. Also, I don't have patience to hold the game hostage for a 4K so I usually kill everyone when I down them, even if it's Just 3k

    Casual, but as survivor I do like to finish all or almost all gens before I die or escape. As killer I try to get how many hooks I can before they die or escape.

    Casual, how ever I can be pretty competitive

    Which is why me and a few buds of mine are looking for people to scrim with and are looking for tourneys to enter :)

    On the killer side it's completely competitive. Your brain is in overdrive trying to process information on every single detail why you're chasing someone. There's just a lot of things in the game you need to track off. When you have to sweat that badly to be good at the game I can see why people can get frustrated.

    It's a direct opposite for me as a Survivor, My mind is just chilling listening to music. Sure they might be some hiccups where I mess up but there's three other people picking up my mistake for me.

    I lean more towards casual because I don't like playing sweaty - it's just not fun.

    As survivor I like casual where sometimes I escape, sometimes I die, and hopefully in both cases I got to participate in the match for a bit. Don't really get that with SBMM, mostly stuck in unfun sweaty deathloop.

    As killer I'm able to control the game better since I don't care for kills. I only go for sacrifices with challenges and even then I tend to avoid those challenges. I mostly like just goofing off as killer, if survivors don't want to goof off with me they can leave. 😂

    Casual. It's a video game I pay to play. If my revenue depended on it I would be a lot more competitive but hobbies are there to reduce stress, not add stress.

    I'm more on the competitive side of things. I enjoy games most when I win

    I used to be pretty competitive before sbmm was introduced. Nowadays I just 2 hook every survivor and let them leave. Being competitive in an unbalanced game will only bring you frustration so I have no desire to increase my mmr.

    I hate that people treat it like one or the other.

    I don't believe you can have a game like this where you compete against another team/player and have it not be competitive to some degree.

    Just because it's a game and we play casually doesn't mean we can't also be competitive. I don't want to go into a match with an attitude where I'm not intending to win, but that doesn't mean that I'm running full meta every match and stressing that the RNG of a map hasn't favoured me etc.

    It's very much middle of the road between a casual game and a competitive game, it has elements of both and I wouldn't call it decisively either.

    Depends on the team I'm going against.

    Are they sweating? Then I'm sweating.

    Are they playing casually? I'll do the same.
