The real reason tunneling and camping are so prevalent
Picture me: a high MMR Blight just trying to have fun. I have a meme build on with no perks and some bad addons, I'm just trying to chill. I get a lobby of p0-5s with no items. I think to myself "Alright, this should be fun enough". Last second 4 man swap to flashlights p100 survivors. Cranking out gens and teabagging at every chance. I get a 1k, still without tunneling or camping anyone out, and I get mass teabags at the exit gate, then post-chat toxic BM, and "ggez" comments left on my Steam profile. Fast forward 5 games in a row of this happening, I switch to my semi-sweaty Blight setup and I play very sweaty. Fast forward 5 more games, all 4k. All of which, people complain about being tunneled, complain about being slugged, complain about being proxy camped when hooked in basement in a 3-gen, complain about sweating, complain about xyz. Also lots of post-chat toxic BM and comments left on my Steam profile, but at least I feel better.
PSA to all the toxic survivor mains out there. If you're sick of dealing with people playing every game like they're playing for millions, stop being toxic to the few that are actually trying to have some fun in this god-forsaken game.

I just play for fun. Ignore the toxic people and you'll feel better. I don't get why t-bagging and clicking upset people so much. Laugh and move on. Don't play sweaty if you don't want to.

If you are playing a game just to have fun, why getting a kill is so important then?

If you're playing a game to have fun, why is escaping so important then?

Because it's not fun to lose. Nobody plays killer to get humiliated.

is this a copypasta

You're playing blight, just kill them lmao

It’s not that serious man, just have fun with blight. Throw on adrenaline vile and the crow and go for crazy flicks, hug techs, moonrushes, etc. Stop worrying about anything else and just learn blights endless skill ceiling. Once you get some really good experience, you can handle most SWF’s without addons or perks.

If you use placebo tablet with no perks, you're playing the worst version of Blight there is.
2 -
Well yea… I don’t know why anybody would use placebo tablet.
0 -
The real reason is because they're very effective, low-effort strategies.
Though survivors being sore winners certainly doesn't help matters.

It is not
Then people should not lie to themselves, its not playing to have fun

I mean I dont care about escaping. But Eruption preventing every single action except for unhooking will never not make me upset since Incapacitated as a debuff prevents you from literally playing the game.

"just kill them lmao" I guess people think blight = win now. The power difference between base blight and blight with at least 1 speed against good survivors is so massive. Even I myself which used to run primarily slam duration and recovery speed have to run slowdown because of people that just pre drop pallets. Which is about everyone that plays against a blight.
1 -
Then you should really not expect to win.

You don’t need lots of slowdown. With good addons you don’t need any slowdown if you’re good enough with blight. Most slowdown I’ll run is pain res and DMS, which is my streak build that I’m currently doing. Outside of the streak, just pain res if that.

I don't play placebo tablet expecting to win, I play placebo tablet expecting people to say gg and act cordial in post game considering I play without perks and with an addon that actively makes my power worse. The toxicity is what I take issue with, not the loss.

Just don’t let it bother you man. Let them be scummy.

If winning is how the player has fun the statement is true though.
I do not believe that anyone truly has fun watching helplessly as survivors run in straight lines and drop pallets as gens get done, just for them to teabag at the exit gates.

Maybe adapt how you approach each match by the tone the survivors set during the match.
I never tunnel or camp as a strict rule and I always try to ensure the match is fun for all of us - with an exception. If you BM me, spam vault and generally try to be a toxic child then I will return the sentiment and make sure you have as miserable of an experience as you want me to have.
That being said I do think some people mistake good plays like flashlight saves, head ons, blinds or the various 'techs' as being toxic when they are all just part of the game too and getting angry over those is a bit silly

I'm assuming since you brought a meme build though that you didn't care if you won or not? I'm a casual survivor who doesn't play with meta builds, I like to just chill as well. I face heaps of sweaty killers running meta builds, and if I actually wanted a good chance then I'd bring something better than what I usually do. But I bring meme builds or random stuff to play around with because I don't care what the other side does.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that was OP's point. If he had gotten a 0K and the survivors were decent about it, we wouldn't be reading this thread.
Depending on who you're playing as and who you're playing against, it's not low-effort so much as your only chance to win.
Once you get into higher MMRs with a killer like Ghostface, almost every game is a nasty fight. If you didn't run 3-4 slowdown perks, then all the gens pop before you can really do enough, and if you didn't run 3-4 anti-chase perks, chases take forever (and gens are probably still popping if you didn't run any passive slowdown).
You can still win without camping/tunneling in some games, but if survivors are on coms and really know how to loop, your best bet is to knock one out ASAP and hope the others make mistakes.

Fast forward 5 games in a row of this happening, I switch to my semi-sweaty Blight setup and I play very sweaty. Fast forward 5 more games, all 4k. All of which, people complainWhat server/time of day do people use the end game chat this much? Like I rarely even see a 'gg' from anyone at the end, much less anything more than that.

not gonna happen, their fun is the only thing that matter in their eyes... same thing happened to me yesterday but with a weaker killer: used dredge for a daily with a meme build and really bad addons, didn't camped nor tunneled, 0k with only 3 hooks and tbagged in the end... after that match i used one of my mains (still with bad addons cause i don't need those in order to make them suffer) for make possible toxic brats crying for good... all 4k with at least 1 dc in every game and a lot of salt in the end (a guy wished me cancer and kept harassing me in my comment section on steam, just saying).. on that point this game is a LOST cause.

the question is, as a survivor, how are you supposed to recognize how nice the killer is. I played 4 games today and was tunnelled 3 times and facecamped once. my desire to play for today is over. since every game is a ranked game, both sides must treat it as such. The developer is to blame for not introducing a casual mode.

Anonymous mode? Enabled
Chat? Closed
Baggers? Ignored
Yep. It's DBD time.

cool story bro
(sorry im late)
1 -
I don't mean to be rude but like what's the point in telling us this story? Many people actively hinder themselves for fun and get met with salt and bm. What's makes your experience so different and heart wrenching if literally everyone goes through this at least once to the point you create a post on the forums about it?

Spread awareness to the toxic survivor mains out there who are so starved for a win that they'll BM the few good killers left out there and incentivize them to play the "bad" way in the future to avoid the humiliation.
1 -
This. A million times this. This is the truth. The moment the survivors win they will show their worst behavior. Not all survivors but the vast majority.
Pls bhvr give us the option to disable post game chat.

There's literally no point in doing that. These posts and everything DBD related has been said about toxic KILLERS AND SURVIVORS. At some point, we need to realize constantly bringing up does nothing to solve the problem.
