Sometimes u just can't win in this game.
So i'm trying to do ghostface challenges for the rift so i thought i would bring a lerys offering or game offering to help me out a bit.
Whenever i bring a map offering i'm met with a flood of "toxic killer bring offerings" comments from survivors yet if i don't bring an offering i get given a really open map like red forest and i get decimated by survivors leading to "trash killer get good" comments.
Like how are we supposed to have a fun game if no matter what we do we get hate from the other team.
Why can't everyone just play for fun these days rather than having it as "i must win no matter what and if i don't the other person is trash or toxic".
Its not just map offerings its perks you bring aswell. I was told i was the most toxic killer they had ever met because i brought franklins.

Thing is i like interacting with people. its why i play online games not offline single player games. And i know not everyone is gonna be nice on the internet im not stupid but it seems that 9/10 games were players say something end game its always just hate hate hate. kinda sad really

You just have to laugh about. They have zero constructive criticism against you.

Unfortunately this game brings out the bad in most people. You will be hit with hate win or lose at least 7/10. As people have already said, either laugh at it or turn off chat as those really are the best options here.

There are plenty of very nice people in this community, they're just... less vocal, I guess.
Plus when you're not facing a SWF, survivors you killed early don't tend to linger in the game, so the person you're talking to is often the person who was the last to die, and who was the most invested in their possible escape, making them maybe a bit saltier. I think first dead and last dead are the most salty survivors get.
That being said !
A lot of DbD is about attitude as well. Survivors won't be endeared to you if you use "scummy" tactics like tunneling early in the game or slugging for the 4K, or if you show poor behaviour (all of which I don't assume you do, I'm just saying that's one thing). I tend to try and chat with killer and congratulate them on their win whatever I play survivor, but I won't bother to if they were not playing fair throughout the game.
One thing I've noticed is that people will tend to be more chatty if you show them you're not gonna be salty or gloating. I end most of my killer games by leaving a few words in the endgame chat, not an impersonal "gg", but generally complimenting the team's best looper, or something they did well during the game. Now that they know I won't "ggez" them or throw insults their way, they're usually very open to chat a bit and wish everyone good luck next. =)

Imagine opening endgame chat, ever.
This post was made by the press continue immediately and keep endgame chat closed gang.

Thats why you dont care for what survivors say to you at all, just do what you wanna do and let them rage around.
1 -
great! and what do you do as a survivor to play "fair" towards killers?
0 -
Idk ignore it? No one is forcing you to acknowledge their complaining and shouldn't be a problem unless they say something reportable.

I would say if you’re playing killer then don’t read post game chat. Ppl say jacked up mess when they’re mad and have no accountability
2 -
I don't bring super meta builds (which unfortunately comes to bite me in the ass since I therefore can't counter tunnel), though I don't control what my teammates bring.
I don't BM, and will reprimand my teammates in chat if they do.
If we're into an impossible situation of 2 remaining survivors, too many gens left and my teammate seems to be stealthing, I'll look for killer or wait under a hook so that the game is not extended by 15 min of hide and seek.
I offer a kill to killers who played fair and got no kills by the time the doors opened. Especially paying it forward to Nurses =) (They were the kindest players I met when I was a baby survivor)
And if the game was fair, I'll compliment the killer on one good play they did, maybe they had a crazy mindgame I fell for, or a stupid down that was objectively funny, or good map pressure... plenty of good things to say when we all had fun !
(If the game was unenjoyable or if killer BM'd, I'll just refrain from engaging in the chat rather than write anything)
I'm not good enough as survivor to really need to do anything more to play particularly fair or be an easy target. X)

A lot of people in this game, or at least the vocal minority, will find a reason to complain no matter what you do. Just do what you like, keep the endgame chat on if you're looking for positive interactions (though they can be rare), and don't let negativity dishearten you. I found that preventing players from messaging me outside of the game helped limit toxicity.
If you want to still bring map offerings but want less complaints, since sending yourself to an indoor map as a stealth killer is a decent advantage, you can try using an offering for outdoor maps that still have good stalking places for ghostface, like Ormond or Dead Dawg. Or just stick to indoor maps and filter out the hate. Totally up to you.

For me the salt in the post game chat IS a big chunk of the fun, though. But in OPs case your advise is pretty solid.

Ignore them. Besides the obvious, it drives them nuts that they can't get a rise out of you no matter what they say. It can play on their insecurities as well, making them wonder that you're not saying anything because you've already left the trial because they don't matter. Which is pretty self-evident.
It's particularly laughable what they said about Franklin's. With every SWF and even most solo players bringing in stacked items these days, I'm surprised when I come across a killer that's NOT running Franklin's. Items are there to help/support the player, not carry them. When playing killer I run Franklin's against flashlight troll groups and toolbox sabo squads, and it's funny after you hit a couple of them and knock stuff out of their hands they tend to DC.

Just read the topic. That's true for both sides.

alright you know what, thats fair ^^
im sorry that players like you have to face killers like me who just dont give a dime. But i would play more "fair" if the majority of players was like you.
most of the time i just want to get my challenges done, if it is not a 4k challenge or something that is done easyly i might to let last survivor have hatch or exit gates, or even run into every pallet they throw so they get points. But its rare. If i have the opportunity to 4k i will hardly let it slipp, all though i know its gonna hurt my mmr.
but 3k hurts mmr too so i would have to set myself up to only maximum 2k every lobby. Which then hurts the bloodpoints i would earn, so yeah XD i have my priorities. Once maybe i have ALL perks maxed out i can reconsider my priorities. But that is far future.

It's alright, it's all part of the game ! It sure doesn't feel great when killers play very competitive and I'm just there to chill, but at the same time I know it's different strokes for different folks. I do encounter very fun killers as well, so it's all good =)
If I really wanted to play efficiently, I could probably invest the time to train a lot and bring the best stuff, but I'd much rather let my rare items gather dust in my hoard and stay at a level where I see a lot of variety. I dread the day I'm good enough to only ever see a few killers from the roster, instead of pretty much everyone at least a few times a month ! =D

You'll always find whiny little children online. A lot of them just live to try and make other people feel bad by spewing their salt and bile whether they win or lose. Just gotta ignore them and get on with it. Play the game for your enjoyment and roll with the punches.

Just turn the end game chat off and put on anonymous mode. People are very hostile, doesn't matter what you do. Only if they all escape you get a barrage of "ggs" (and if you're lucky some ez baby killer) but when they die its just complaining

I think it's because kills = skills and surviving = skills, in this game, both of which are the only things that count to your MMR, unless they changed that up again recently. Which of course is going to make people sweaty at some point. I think if other things mattered as much, it would be v different.
Someone that can loop and mindgame a killer for a whole game vs another that just hides and occasionally does gens differ quite a lot in skills. But for some reason that doesn't really matter, unless you escape.

Just do like me and bask in their rage. Use the salt to season your potatoes and munch on them as you drink their tears.
As long as you didn’t break any rules set by the devs, you have no reason to feel bad about anything. Lots of children and adults who behave like children play this game. Don’t let them get to you.

This is why I welcome our bot brothers next week. I'm tired of playing against sore losers and toxic players. Unless I absolutely need blood points or rift fragments, I'll be perfectly content never hoping into a live match ever again.

Respond with "lol ok" until they get so heated they break their keyboard while punching in angry messages you could probably send to the FBI.

Don't take it too personal. Sadly, some people are just bitter.
