And Now Im Cranky
Does the game ever put anyone just in a bad mood? I had to calm down playing it for a few days already because I kept getting upset and noticed a little carried throughout the day lol. I know its just a game but I cant help it.
just a curious question is all

That's the best way I'd put it, this game doesn't make me angry, just lowers my mood at times, it's really demoralizing to lose, like a match I just played as Myers with stalking addons vs a team with 3 really strong medkits and COH, also I'm 99% sure they were cheating but reporting takes so long that I just don't do it.

Yes all the time 😂
Game is kind of designed to make you feel bad. It's often that you get punished for things you had no way of avoiding.
But the game can be fun and satisfying so i still love the game but i suggest taking a break if the game is not going the way you want it to.

Yes, when I repeatedly get horrible teammates and they affect my gameplay, control pretty much if I escape or not. When this happens, I watch a good YouTube video or take a bath. 🤓

Yup. I've noticed it, particularly since the new patch, specifically due to terrible teammates, the camping and tunneling are kinda "Meh whatever"
I've made it a point to put the damn game away when this happens because the mood rarely improves after that. Everyone gets agitated to some degree.

Shoot, they can just heal against you even with Tier 3. No sweat off their backs because even if they get instadowned because of that, they can totally afford it.

I hope you weren't playing against me earlier. I played vs Myers on Grave of Genvale (don't remember if this was the game we had CoH and what the rest brought), but I had a med-kit (yellow) and I was playing wiretap on main building and wasted a lot of time on Myers.

To be honest I think that happens with any game you play a lot, especially if it has a PvP aspect. Happens to me on LoL, doesn't help that matches take twice or thrice as much as a DBD match.

Definitely wasn't me, I was on a farm map, I had double stalk addons(The one that increased obsession stalk rate by 40%, and J Myers Memorial) with 3 slowdowns and 1 info perk.

Yeah. If I'm having a bad day or don't feel well I usually don't play DBD for my own mental health. I'm currently going through burnout with this game, so that's also a factor.

I also played a Myers on farm map, but I died (I was Cheryl) and our Kate was afk so she also died. So probably not you, but I did give the Myers a hard time with Wiretap.

More annoyed than anything, but it's usually annoyance at either a) some survivor mentality (whether I play as killer or survivor), or b) when a survivor and killer works together.
I can empathise with others that it can put people in bad moods, or even into rages, so always be aware of when you think you're playing too much and becoming lower in mood.

Just had a match on Haddonfield where a 4 man SWF gave up to give someone hatch (DC'ed) all because one of their teammates reached second stage. They accused me of camping when I original was heading over to pressure a generator and it was not my intent. But it overall just hinged on them getting upset over their misplay.
I reckon they were pretty upset and a lot of people just really take the events that happen within a game and make it so much more for no reason at all. I frankly dont see the point in harass someone over a game, so stuff like this will always be strange to me.
But I understand having bad matches in DbD, typically I play multiple games, so if Im feeling upset, I just play something else. Does wonders with preventing frustration and burnout. And that is if I even get mad, I dont get upset with games often.

The only time It upsets me is when I go against a good team and they get salty. Every comp team I have gone against has proceeded to ruin my mood with all of them spamming salt about any little thing. Sorry you had to try I guess?

It doesn't put me in a bad mood, but it certainly puts me off playing it sometimes. Yesterday for example I had mostly awful games. I just had to stop playing. I wasn't having fun and was just dampening my Saturday evening.

It used to. It used to a lot. Like...an incredibly unhealthy a lot. Like...maybe eventually I'll share some pictures of how unhealthy it was 😅
Now this isn't a suggestion for you (or anyone), just my thing. I actually got put on antidepressants a few months ago and it has done WONDERS for me (Duloxetine if you're wondering). Literally life changing for me and has made doing...really everything that used to really frustrate me so much better.
It's less that it's made me happier and has just made me way more in control of my emotions. Before them, I even knew in my head that getting this frustrated was stupid and why am I acting like this but it was like I was a passenger in my body, just watching. A few weeks ago was the perfect example where I was getting super frustrated with a bully squad and went to punch my keyboard and just...stopped. I said "Why get so worked up" and instead of going red and punching it anyway, I just...didn't. It was kind of eye opening for me.

Not really.

Yes, when I get repeatedly tunneled out of the game early by a hillbilly, blight or wesker with lethal pursuer.

Yeah it's to the point where I can only play towards the beginning of the day and I have to stop playing when the survivors aren't even trying. Been playing less but strange enough am burnt out more than ever.
