What is considered Sweating/try-harding? (Killer's POV)

The reason I ask, is I see Killers being called out for being sweaty and the counter response is that Survivors are also sweaty.

Although, when I try to think of what is considered being extremely competitive. The first thing that comes to mind of course is SWF or Meta Builds. I can see how spamming flashlights or stun strategies can even be considered mean. Those videos where people have 3 flashbangs and locker stun with "Head On".

So from a Killers perspective, what does a Sweaty Survivor look like?

Personally, I think there are plenty of comments on how Killers are sweaty… So much so that it's pretty clear what Survivors think of Killers on average. For me I see slugging the last two Survivors alive as sweaty by denying hatch to secure a 4k is boring gameplay.

BUT when I think of Survivors… I guess what I'm asking, is there anything similar in that nature, slugging etc… that Killers deem as sweaty(boring even)? Aside from the obvious DS, DH… "META" and SWF.

Post Edit:

For example, do you consider Survivors doing everything possible to save their teammate on hook(in endgame) to be sweaty behaviour?

    wildly depends on who you're asking lmao. lots of players in this community are pretty weak tier gamers and believe it's toxic to just be good at the game, let alone actually use strong stuff. I would personally just say using stuff like BNP, instaheal, and strong maps are what is sweaty af for survivors.
