A little hint for Endgame Interactions

I want to spread a little bit of awareness of why it is sometimes better to just leave and not share any words even tho you have good intentions. For more specific context, please refer to this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVqNgBK5_8c

So for the record: Of course don't insult people and don't act like someone insulted your family because they didn't played the game how you wanted them to. But besides that, I want to talk about why "GG" or "GGWP" is not always nice.

Personally I play with a friend who just wants to be nice and leave a gg even tho the game did not turn out to be fun for either side. Specifily we had a game against a Huntress on Lery's and you can imagine it was not so fun for her. I think she didn't get a single hook and kinda gave up. So you can imagine that leaving GGWP in the chat made the whole situation worse.

Please think of both sides when you are writing something at the end of the match. Leaving the match without a shared word is sometimes the better option.

    Survivor main, and if a killers had a particularly tough match i do sometimes just leave without saying anything, since you never know how they may take a 'gg', even with good intentions might be perceived differently, but sure they just move on from the lobby anyway. Saying that, I play killer sometimes, and pretty much get run around and lose all the time, but i tend to still leave a gg at the end regardless, unless it's a load of tea baggers, in which case i just move on too.

    When i get stomped by a good killer, i usually watch out the rest of the game (if it wasn't super early on) and leave a gg too. I like spectating at times, since if the other survivors are doing better, i like to know what i could have done differently to last longer. Wonder if they'll ever introduce a way to just spectate (random drop in on an active game), not select a specific match since it could lead to unfair advantages.

    if I end up on the side that stomps the other side (yeah even though I am relatively bad it happens on both sides for me) then I usually write something along the lines ‚bad matchmaking, sorry for that but gg anyways‘.

    just a gg (if the losing side didn’t write it first? does seem like writing ‚ez‘ or something and may be perceived as trying to rub it in…

    End game chat is mostly a pointless exercise for killers, it's a place survs either insult killers, who played in "X" manner, or a place to self congratulate.

    That's mostly a product of how you play. Since I chilled out on the super-sweaty killer play (along with always being mature and polite in EDC) I only get a negative response from survivors maybe once in 50 games. The overwhelming majority of games that I get responses from are positive. That includes the 3-4ks.

    Survivor A - I would like to thank myself for carrying the team. I literally ran the killer the entire match.


    Survivor B- Being camped on a hook doesnt count as running the killer the entire match.


    Survivor C - Noed ruined the game


    Survivor D- ggwp ez


    Killer- I hate this game.

    GG has almost completely been perverted to an insult over the years. I just write “Thank you for the match!”.

    If I'm in a match like that, I'll just type: rough map for huntress, gl & hf next!

    Just show understanding and move on.

    I usually say good game (feels a little more sincere than GG.) If the other side got trounced, I'll try to find something apologetic to say along with it - I was cringing when your teammate did X, oof @ matchmaking, sorry about my teammates being nasty, sorry about the afk/DC, I have no idea what the hell happened there, etc. If I don't like how the killer played or I can't think of anything friendly to say, I'll just leave.

    When I go off on someone in chat, it's usually at my teammates for throwing or trolling. I try not to reply to trolling killers because that's usually what they want, but I'm not perfect.

    Here is almost end game situations, killer facecamping one of your teammates, and all 3 of you just get out. Simple.

    Due to ds and otr being off, it's better for you to save yourselves as sad as it looks for hooked one.=(

    You can still try to save him\her, but it will recuire a better plan as it is now.
