what am i supposed to do against friendly survivors?? it's so frustrating to get in a match just to have survivors crouch spam and try to be friendly when you just want to play a normal game, if i kill them i get called toxic and if i team with them i'm bored out of my damn MIND. what am i supposed to do???

    I never kill friendly survivors and I will always give a kill to a friendly killer. Both are very rare nowadays but they're so cute when you find them!

    usually what I do is down one of them, shake my head and keep doing so until they get the hint. I only really do this if I'm trying to complete a challenge or already got a few people who wanted to farm in previous lobbies.

    If they get upset, then its an ish-them and not an issue. A stranger on the internet calling you names and baby raging in chat is nothing special and something you'll encounter quite often no matter what game you play. Just play normally, thats what the majority of poeple expect from you

    best ist to dont care. If they dont play right its an ez 4k for you. I dont see why you should feel bad for it, its their fault. They blame you for everything anyway so why care.

    In the case of friendly survivors I try to 2 hook everyone and eyeball it from there. If its just 2 gens, then they can finsh them and go. If its more then that then I kill them off one after the other and give the last one / most cute one the hatch. If they really up their game and there is only one gen left when I kill someone, then sometimes even two may go.

    I really like it if I manage some fun interactions ... like trapping a survivor in a corner, slowly shaking my head while they try to wriggle past and then smack them.

    Slash the friendly gestures to ribbons,show'em who's boss bud.Play the game how you want.

    As far as your guilty conscious, we can't help you with that,but you should probably have been nice and farmed with those cuties

    Sometimes my swf and I are trying to get most annoying archives so we were trying to get friendly killer to farm. We are ok to play normal if needed so we greatly appreciate if the killer shakes head (red stain lol) at us and gives us a chance to start normal gameplay. If killer just uses our friendliness as an opportunity to get huge advantage (sometimes even pretend as friendly to 2hook us and then kill without resistance) then... well. They have their right but I consider this kinda non-empathic :D

    Of course, my friends and I aren't ALL friendly survivors but if you let them know you don't want to farm (in non-harm way) then you just can't be toxic here. And if they don't understand and keep being friendly, just 3-hook them all as soon as possible. It's not toxic too (neither anything I mentioned above).

    Get over the boredom and spread some love.

    It is needed in the game.

    I get so much new/bad players sometimes and i just can´t stomp them.

    As playing both sides i know exactly how bad that feels.

    If it's the very beginning of the match, I tend to throw one knife at them and leave them to let them know that if I see them again, I will down them. I personally give one freebie at the beginning of the match. However, you can play as you want as you're the killer and can choose your style of gameplay. Don't let others dictate how you play the game.

    I play normal, but I will go a bit easier if a scenario pops up where the option to sweat it out would end the match too quickly. Give them a few free passes. If they are playing well, but are still being cute and friendly, I just play as normal, don't get mad at them making good plays, and congratulate them on a good game after. Return the kindness, brighten their day in the post-game lobby, and hope they have a wonderful life.

    It honestly depends on my mood. Usually I'll let 2 go at most if I have 10 hooks total and I'm basically gonna wrap up the game anyway. If I don't feel merciful, I continue the hunt. There's a benefit to maining a vengeful ghost as a killer

    Generally my thing is, if there are multiple party streamers being played, I will just grind points with them. If I myself play party streamers, I am open to doing the same IF they take the hint.

    However, if I am trying to be cool and they want to play like they are bad-asses, I shut it down real quick.

    If there are no offerings being played that benefit us, I generally take a "friendly" surv as trying to troll for a win and just make it clear it ain't happening.
