You Ever Play A Killer Match You Regret Being Nice In?
As Killer I try to spread my hooks around, and if I do down someone again off hook, I slug them instead of hooking them again. I don't even hang around to properly slug, I let them get healed up and get back to them later. I don't "Win" matches too often like this but I do get a nice amount of BP. Heck, I don't even fake for Deadhards, I just swing for the fences on every survivor. I like letting the matches go on, only to get to the end of the match with the exits open and watch the survivors at the end t-bag or click their flashlights and then berate you in endgame chat.
Like If I really wanted to 4k a match I feel like I could have most the time by just, not playing as nice... It feels bad to play killer a good chunk of the time. And if I play for keeps then I'm trying too hard and "tunneling" or boring.

Yeah when I spread the hooks around, survivors end up thanking at endgame chat saying EZ.
So now I always tunnel when given the opportunity(recognized the weakest link)

Not much "being nice", but when I intentionally let easy target escape it can easily ends up with losing lol.

Nope because either way I feel better after a nice match
I just genuinely don’t enjoy tunnelling even if the person was mean unless I have an archive I need to get done

Yeah that's a big no as killer.

I will never understand why would anyone do this, playing nice I mean.

I just find it more fun personally. I get to chase multiple different survivors and make sure everyone gets a decent amount of BP by the end of the match
Even if I get only 1 or 2 kills I still feel like I accomplished something by getting a good amount of hooks and fun chases

I don't feel bad at all.
If I'm being nice, I do it expecting it to reach those who are receptive. I don't care about the #########. They don't appreciate anything nice by definition.

Its just a better gameplay loop for me. I get to earn a nice amount of bp regardless of a "win" and chases on a lot of maps can be fun. I just like to mess around honestly.

I'm actually jealous of these chilled and uneffective survs some of you still get. It's like seeing these twitter posts were killers say they go for like 12 hooks without gen defense. But at the end it's still a 4K, right? So with MMR, why are they not getting matched against better teams?

No, i haven't really regret it to play friendly/nice no matter how the survivors reacted to that because it was my conscious choice to play like that no matter what.
But thanks to the majority of time getting negative feedback/toxicity for an answer or alternative non at all, i have lost most empathy with the vocal part on these forum complaining about camping and tunneling.
It's to be expected that all killer either shift to other games or unfun tactics when the "fun and friendly" playtstyle (which is way more prone to losing) gets the same treatment either way.

Usually when survivors are really really bad at chase to the point I feel bad for them, but oh god, it doesn't always mean they aren't actually good at it or can stick to generators 24/7.

I don't play nice, but I refuse to sweat for a 1 k. If it comes to that, I'll let them get the save and escape - or throw them out the exit gate. I'll often get thank yous for it but there's always going to be someone toxic regardless of how you play.

Yes. Many times in so many matches. Even when you don't camp the last person in the end game and you kinda let them escape, sometimes that person Tbags you at the exit gates anyway. Makes me regret it.
I did this too to Survivors who were toxic from the very begging and I still of course got Tbagged while I was nice to them.

I always put in BPS and whenever I let people like this go, they almost always end up TB-ing, and generally being obnoxious, and thinking they got away because of "skill". That will turn the match around very quickly for me, no more being nice and everyone gets tunneled out :)

I wish they would link forum accounts to game accounts so they could see when someone says ‘I 4K every game going for 12 hooks with no gen defence using all killers’ they can see if they actually play killer, how often and and what MMR, or if they are just lying/exaggerating to give a false impression.

unless there is a map offering or boon spamming going on, i generally chill out if survivors seem new or cool/fun. i situationally would even let multiple survivors do 2-3 gens and leave. i mean, if said cool survivors happen to bm me later on, shame on them for their hypocrisy. and when newer players "try" to bm me it genuinely amuses me rather than annoys me

I mostly play nice, meaning I don't tunnel and camp and I only slug when it's convenient (like when there is another survivor right next to me). However, I do often encounter survivors that are out for blood.
I play nice, they'll teabag and complain about how EZ the match was and how I didn't provide any challenge. I play to win, they'll realise something doesn't go their way and either they dc or find new ways to tell me I should end myself after the match. On top of that usually 1 or more -reps on my Steam profile. Even when it's solo players they blame ME for some jerk disconnecting. How is that my fault?
Every once in a while though, I get matched with people that really appreciate me playing nice. The end game chat can be surprisingly wholesome.

I don't regret it but on the off chance I get 3 man outed in a super close game it's always irritating to see the survivors do the exit gate thing even now, especially when I 7-8 hook before a killer everygame. Although I saw 4 med-kits and a garden offering and just decided to hard alch ring tunnel a Felix out of the game a few months ago, that felt really bad.

Regret would be to strong of a word, but it is noticeable that many Survivors teabag and BM even when you're playing nice as Killer, even if you do it to an obvious degree.

Many times, yes. But it's insignificant compared to the number of times I didn't.

These, thankfully, tend to do it mid-game when they think they have the upper hand.
How they regret it in the end game chat.

I often let the last survivor go in an easy match. I play console and have messages turned off. 2 reasons..
1. As an adult I don't want some random kid contacting me with insults. I know I would be constantly in trouble for swearing at the little twerp.
2. It gives me great pleasure to know their toxic comments are wasted as I don't see them.
So I play nicely in some games and don't go anywhere near the exit gate when opened so they don't get the pleasure of t-bagging.
And the sweet smell of lightborn. Nothing infuriates a flashlight bully squad more than ineffective flashlights.

They're just too nice maybe lacking the needed killer instinct to be more ruthless. Well even I lack it I lose a lot because im playing nice. I usually start by playing nice but after bad games I do super tunnel right at the start I need survivors to be first merciless agains't me to justifyi myself to be. Not always but usually. Now I just played nice again 2 games got both games 9 hooks but only 1 kill so im going to super tunnel as hard as I can next game. They were actually fun matches but I feel I was cheated and I didn't get single pip was 1 point away....

Playing nice leads to people teabagging and being twits, so until spamming crouch causes Survivors' kneecaps to explode, most of the time.

I can say every day but only because pipping system is so annoying. Practically you should tunnel one survivor out every game to get best chance to pip. Spread hooks once it is 3vs1. I just don't have enough killer instinct to tunnel every game I feel bad doing it if it's not justified some way in my mind.

I play chill until the survivors don't. Sometimes it bites me in the ass, sometimes not. It does get old losing a bunch of games ina row because I don't wanna camp and tunnel players into the ground to secure kills but then I turn the game off and go do other things.

I play "nice" (not tunneling or slugging, going out of my way not to drum the weak link out, backing off when I am on pace for a super quick win) in like 90% of my killer matches. Does it bite me in the ass? All the time. I can't even count the number of times I let off the gas because it seemed like the survs were in over their head, and I ended up with a draw or loss because I was wrong, or because I went too easy for too long.
Do I regret it? Almost never. I don't want to step on people; I'd much rather get a fun, quasi-competitive 2K against potatoes that should have been an easy 4K than get a 4K where I never gave them a chance to breathe.
Sometimes when I absolutely use kid gloves on a team and they BM me (some players are so clueless they don't recognize when they're being spared) I feel a twinge of regret, but not often.
