It's really sad how toxic SWF players can be in this game.

It's not even close to every standard SWF, but if it is a SWF where all 4 have flashlights, flashbangs, etc they are toxic 90-95% of the time as a team. I'd say 20%ish of teams that run full meta are also pretty toxic. I only have 1000 hours probably 700-800 as killer, but everytime I run into an obvious SWF (especially if there is TTV or YT in the names of one more more players) that have flashlights that they are just toxic players wanting to get content out of a killer or to just straght up be a bully. I can count on one maybe two hands being able to have a game where the saves were just that, saves followed by a nice chat in the endgame chat about it being wellplayed. Not a save followed by tbagging followed by more tbagging and flashlight clicking trying to get you to chase them. Then the classic "gg ez" or even better, the ones who died in the match going to your public profile and then trash talking about what you posted in it (calling you a pedo if you're a teacher, or a racist if you put you're a police officer, etc). I've even had one ping my ISP to do the classic "I know you live in ____, I'm going to come visit". I've never had this level of toxicity in any other game except maybe LoL/Dota

Now if you decide to run Lightborne to stop this stuff. The massive amount of trash talk in the endgame chat is almost guaranteed. Most typical are "zzz" and "get carried by a perk" and "I bet you're just as boring at sex" are ones I get quite often from these teams. Sometimes I'll get a ######### probably once a week or so. It's really sad. I really wish there were some way to promote positivity in this game because it's draining dealing with this on a daily basis. Dodging the lobbies shouldn't be the only answer to this.

Why can't we all just be friends and enjoy trying to be a better player instead of trying to get a rise out of people to try to make them miserable? I'd be very curious to see if this kind of stuff every happens in the Asian servers as much as it does here.
