To the devs you need to address toxic bully survivors
This is too much since today MMR is too difficult for killers I only got matched against 1% elite toxic bullies, I didn't win any matches at all. I'm barely new to this game but I have to go against pro survivors but that's not the problem I'd try to improve myself against such players but too many bullies when they're better than you.
This match for example played against ACE and another toxic Claudette basically the Ace is too fast dodged every hit and abuses every tile I manage to down everyone once but couldn't so he keeps clicking the flash light in my face over and over and over and over he kept spamming it every second and when ever he vaults or dodges something he teabags multiple times and does 360 rotations as a toxic gesture and the Claudette was his friend I had to protect one camp for at least getting 1 kill out of the match then they managed to open the game but instead of leaving they kept searching the map for me and clicked flashlights to my face and tea bagged and abused dead hard I can't remember how many hits were going to down them but they did use dead hard the second I hit anyone of this duo.
What makes it even worst I got flamed and made fun of in post game chat .
They kept taunting and used dead hard on the exit gate to teabag and escape in the last seconds so at least make some restrictions or fixes:
-Code it that flashlights can't be spammed that way tons of times in few seconds .
-I noticed every game that survivors will spam crouching after they open the gate so block the ability to crouch at the exit gates or something or rework the mechanics so it can't be used to bully others
-Fix the mmr so you don't get matched with survivors that played the game 10000 hours more than you did literally ? at least make it mixed 1 pro survivor 2 decent survivor 1 weak survivor .
-I had no pressure even if I injured everyone multiple times they had circle of healing and I got body blocked and hooks were sabotaged so please nerf COH
-Dead Hard is too unfair denies you a down and extends the chase much longer against good players and I can't count how many auto dead hard hacks I've gone against because it's impossible for a player to trigger it too many times that easy .

A great suggestion.

Not a great suggestion.

I don't think they can do much about it.
Anytime you would introduce some blocking actions mechanic to prevent tbagging, bm, etc. it usualy results punishing or limiting actions of "normal" players as well. Also even then people would always find new ways to tbagg you in some other form.
I think only thing we can do as a players is to ignore them and not give them what they want. You will be better than them and you can look at them as Clowns and just move on. Don't feed them.

That is not being toxic just a good strategy by getting mad you start to play worse and that works for survivors its just a game
4 -
How far does the excuse of "just a game" go?
33 -
Well i dont speak about end game chat that is something else as a killer main i like getting mix of everything not genrushed all the time sabo squads head ons are funny when they get you clicky is little anoying tbag is sweet and that is it if you get mad that is your problem you are taking a game to serious
1 -
Are you serious ? the ace didn't even use his flashlight to save anyone he just followed me around and clicked the flashlight into my face and near me till it ran out . The amount of toxic moves these 2 players did is just too much for my mental health.
Being toxic is a choice just play the damn game if you escape good for you , you're a good survivor but don't bully killers every second.
What's funny is that * strategy * ends the moment you open that exit gate but they didn't want to leave so to avoid tea bagging I just moved away from the exit gates and waited them to leave but they chased me and forced me to chase them to the exit gate and every second of it they did toxic moves and what's even worst the post game chat..

Fix stuff like flashlight clicking and horrible mismatches wouldn't stop people from being #########.
There's just no solution to that problem. Fix a way and they'll find another.
2 -
There is nothing to be fixed it's simple stay chill dont care how they play do your thing and most of the times you will win
1 -
And for people that are sensitive to strobing lights?
The game doesn't have an epilepsy warning, to my knowledge.
12 -
There was one post about it. And you bring that here and now you want to say people that spam flashlights are evil and bad human beings i dont get it? I agree game should have warning but somebody with that kind of health problem should not play games with that kind of mehanics or any other newer games with bunch of special effects you know that can happend random to them? Because that is not something you can control....
6 -
I think a .5 second cooldown to switching flashlight state wouldn't be too harmful to survivors in general play.
I also don't think flashlight removal would be too harmful for general play, but I know that that is a hot take.
But yeah, the best thing to do against characters like that is ignore them. They're confident in their chases and are trying to draw your attention to lure you into a chase they think they can win. I've had a Jake like that before. Fully ignored him and killed the rest of his team. Don't care how good you are, you're not winning 1v1.
6 -
Yes thank you for reminding me I felt dizzy after the spammed flashlight it hurts eyes and I felt uncomfortable, I think someone with worst sensitivity to it would get a seizure for sure.
2 -
I swear man once I couldn't down him I ignored him the whole match but then he didn't do any gens and decided to body block me and flash light click click to my face to distract me from chasing other survivors, even if you ignore them they still body block you , sabotage , take hits for others even when they're health since you're not trying to chase him. I agree we need a cooldown for flashlights so it's not worth clicking anymore.
0 -
Ofc you felt dizzy because you were mad and you were hard tunneling one player like we can see in your photo so yea. That is it from me i wanted to give you good advice how to deal with that but nah i guess i'm toxic to.
1 -
Can tell there's new people in the thread because nobody seems to know about the naming and shaming rule 💫
5 -
I know but i dont really care if you like reporting for such things do it i say you are toxic then! 😂😂😂

Oh I'm not flagging any comments but the mods check posts lmao ✨
Normally when you're on a game forum you wanna follow the rules
4 -
I didn't say that. You can't be "evil" when you don't know what you're doing. I wouldn't want any of the dumb kids that spam flashlights to cause someone to have a seizure and have that on their conscience, not to mention the person having the episode.
I'd rather prevent things from happening than react to them after the fact. The game needs either an epilepsy warning or a fix to macro flashlights. Preferably both.
6 -
I'm troll? Bruh all you do is complain here and you bring up something that have nothing to do with this post and i didnt have fun of that problems i have friends with epilepsy so i know and i saw it and helped them few times. You bring that as an excuse wich is worse thing to do if you ask me shame on you.

1v1 coal tower,I smell a 15yo toxic kiddo full of themselves lol,runs map offering and a purple beamer and a full meta build,kinda embarassing.
They're the kind of people that calls the killer a tunneler and camper if they cam someone after all gens are done 🤣 yeah playing killer in this game is such a fun experience.
2 -
You can literally see his name and map offering he brought us to coal tower map which is his best map looks like from the name he knows how to loop and how to play it perfectly with his other friend and basically they bully killers, I couldn't catch them
0 -
So what? You cant win them all get over it.
0 -
this is silly. None of this is a problem, how can you get mad at clicking. I mainly play as killer and I still don't get it? I wish you could communicate ingame and the more shittalking the better, who cares. I miss the Friday the 13th proximity chat, it was hilarious.
The REAL problem that needs to be addressed is the hacker epidemic.
6 -
I couldn't see nothing he clicks the flashlight directly to my face at high speeds with how small the killer field of view is my while screen is flashing like crazy and he kept doing it for like an eternity, Imagine if I had a seziure from it ?
1 -
These bully squads are usually easy to deal with. Their cockiness is their doom. They will not push gens and are super altruistic. You just need to keep your cool, think strategically. Once you down someone look around, two of them are hiding behind the rock to try to do flashlight save. Spread the injuries, often they won't even heal because they are so cocky. After a point they will crumble and beg you to hook them, maybe they will even DC.

People have claimed to on the forums.
As for the prototypical toxic survivors, just mute the endgame chat. Literally almost nothing good comes from it. You beat the survivors, it's a ghosttown or a bunch of crybabies. You lose, it's gg ez you are so bad etc etc. Unless you feel like arguing with people or want to respond to clear bait, it's not worth the time leaving it on. I leave my steam comments on if people wanna spew the salt there but I only review it periodically, usually days after the game has been played.
3 -
Hmm, interesting how 3 people got out and the one survivor got merely 6k BPs. Normally that happens when the survivor was taken out of the game quickly.
Not saying you camped and tunneled (even after seeing they accused you of it) but I would have clicked too if I had to play against a boring playstyle.
3 -
There is always other side of the story.
2 -
Not throwing the game = boring playstyle. That's right killer, go for 12 equally distributed hooks in a game that lasts 4-5 minutes when the survivors can bring in ~16 extra lives and there can be 20+ safe pallets on some maps (wish I was joking!). Just play better, pressure gens.
5 -
I chased everyone but they were much higher skill than me this 4th guy didn't do any gens or objectives basically was weaker when I chased him literally late game I had no gens left he was dead on hook so I'm supposed to let 4 of them escape ? If the killer gets 4k you complain. Oh no how dare you kill one survivor you should always let everyone escape.
0 -
There's no valid reason for using flashlight macros. If you want to tilt the killer, regular clicking will work just as well. The visuals are potentially dangerous, the sound is just obnoxious.
And disabling/muting chat is absolutely the way to go, let toxic players yell their lame insults and sad excuses into the void.
6 -
Love when people make the most exaggerated comments as if it's going to be taken any more serious or something.
I can do it too:
Go for 1,5000 slow down perks, while camping and tunneling 20 survivors, and having to cleanse 10 No Eds. Just do bones silly. 🙄
7 -
I start t-bagging more when I see posts like this.
9 -
Right lol 2 circles of healing , 2 dead hards، 3 iron will , map offering , higher mmr and skill swf bullies .. How entitled these survivor mains are ? Like literally 1 kill and they'd complain about it like #########? I chased everyone like a maniac and got bullied doing it.
0 -
Yikes
5 -
And posts like this make me actually want to start tunneling.
9 -
That's why I say camp and tunnel as much as you want. I have extensive experience in this game and I will tell you that playing for 12 hooks is a total waste of your time. Tunnel people out with the Nurse, it's the new meta. Or just camp with Bubba, I like that since it denies them unhooks and tanks their altruism.
Yeah, see, the only thing being my comment isn't an exaggeration lmao. Those numbers are accurate. Load into "The Game" and come back here and tell me how many safe god pallets there are. It's usually around 23-24. And what are BT/DS/UB/DH? Extra lives to compensate for poor survivor play. I can see them being needed against the top tier killers but for the other 20+ on the roster they are usually just a crutch.
1 -
So you claim you are new, but proceed to complain about them being more skilled and "bullying" you, by presenting the perks they used, map offering.... basically things that are a part of the game, that even newer players will still see.
Just because you are bad at the game doesn't mean the survivor is bullying you nor that you know their MMR. In fact there is no way to pin point other people's MMR.
It's ok to be New at the game you know?
6 -
So the game spawns 23-24 god pallets and that isn't an exaggeration to you? Yikes.
BT/DS only works if the killer is at the hook, you will never see them if you aren't camping. Also, hey are a deterrent to the Killer's attempt to gain free pressure. It isn't based on survivor's "poor" play.
Your philosophy/breakdown of this game is quite amusing actually.
6 -
Ah yes and trying to induce a negative emotional state in others is such a noble thing to do. Also good luck for the next lobby of survivor that can reap what the previous sowed.
Also humans in general are still empathetic being that pick up on others intentions.
I know from experience but telling the bullied to just take it and ignore it doesn't really work out in most cases.
The negative emotion bottles up until it bursts out in something ugly.
But hey as long as survivor have fun. Even when you play nice you can only expect further taunting or indifference from them, instead of being grateful for non camping, tunneling or slugging since those are "toxic". (Hint: They aren't always. It's just the most efficient strategy now.)
4 -
Lmao I have around 100 hours with both killer and survivor, checking everyone profiles these survivors playtime is by the thousands you know what's a 5000 hour survivor is ? He can play the game blindfolded so when I just understood the game basics in 100 hours I'm bad right ? I can't tell unless I'm a 5000 hours killer Main then I'll blame myself but you're one of them toxic bully survivors 100% you want mmr to match you against new killers because you usually get destroyed by killers that played the game for years right?

This is video game.
1 -
This is video game and video game forum not a therapy session.
2 -
I am not even gonna argue if you sit here and tell me that map is fine. Lmao.
I really wanna see you follow you own advice playing a low tier killer into a some good 3-4 man meta SWFs. Post the results back here. I bet you get your 3-4 hooks and some gg ez's in the post game.
But you won't. Survivor mains won't accept the truth, that they will get whooped following their own advice. Or they just spam nurse. "I don't camp and tunnel and im a Nurse/Blight main!"
Pretty cringe tbh. They know they are not good enough at this game to handle killer at a high level.
1 -
What's cringe is your lack of knowledge of the game when claiming every map has 23-24 god pallets. When EVERYONE (not just one or the other side) know this is simply not true, and for you to post that in a post made by a new person.... well that is pretty cringe.
4 -
Weren't you just claiming I'm not new?
1 -
That is not true i played against many squads that "bully" people just have fun your reactions make them toxic in end game chat i had most friendly chats because i'm always chill no matter what they do in game 🙂
1 -
When did I say you were not new?
I actually said the opposite.
3 -
I dont want to blame OP for anything but it's clear on his photo what happend there i wish him to stay chill and have fun because that is point of game lose or win
1 -
"your reactions make them toxic"
My apologies for getting upset about being told how much the toxic players wish I would die.
Holy victim-blaming. L take.
