Players sweat because they want to win and hidden MMR is important to them. Just have fun <3
That's how I see it
It's a very simple thing. Obviously, the hidden mmr number is so important to many players that they would do anything for their ego. The main thing is to win. Who likes to lose, right?
The main thing is that they can show off a bit or show the world out there that they are supposedly one of the best.
Thank God the internet is not the real world. 😎
My message to all of us. Play with fun and enjoy yourself. The rest is really secondary. Thank goodness there is no official ranking and no open MMR either, and that's a good thing. Let them share bhvr stats and brag about how good they are. That's all they have 😅
In short, just have fun and don't take the game too seriously and you'll have the most fun 🤓
Greetings 🤗

People like different things. Do you think sweaty players are intentionally not having fun? Being good at the game and competing is the fun part for them.

Nah thats not the case.

Wish that more would have this kinda outlook.
Have fun in the fog mate.

It's really not that simple. Well, maybe for you but not for me.
I have fun succeeding. For killer that means feeling dominant, for survivor that means feeling like we all put up a good fight and maybe some escaped.
When i lose as killer, i feel bad, and survivors humiliating me feels even worse, so i'm conditioned to avoid that. Because it makes me feel like i failed.
This doesn't mean i'm ultra sweaty though, i have ton of preferences. I avoid tunnelling and i don't main Blight or Nurse, i don't really like playing them. And i'm Solo Q survivor.
I do not pay attention to MMR, i like that it's hidden.1 -
You would think that but being competitive doesn't correlate to fun for everyone at all times.
Example had a match today where I playing perkless huntress on the fnaf map, playing fairly normal until there's one Gen left. Its the gen inside main so I finish the chase I'm in hook that girl scurry over to main find a sable, I down her hook her next to the 85% gen, she's second so I see her out, the competitive (actually the only logical) thing to do. The team falls apart after that and then precedes to tell me how bad I am at the game blah blah blah.
Point is up until that point they were having a blast completing their objectives rather fast might I add, it wasn't until I swayed the game in my favor did they have a problem. They wanted to sweat until I started to actually play competitively. I've found more times than not people that sweat have fun until the other side matches the energy. Some of the most fun matches I've ever had have been from everyone just understanding it's just a game that wins actually mean nothing in.

Always play casual and for fun.
Never use add-ons because I can't be bothered reading what they do. Or care.
I play Trapper with zero perks.
Legion without every going into frenzy.
Clown without using yellow speed bottles.
Twins without every releasing Victor.
Deathslinger without ever firing his harpoon.
Why?
Because I can.
Do I win? Sometimes.
Do I lose? Yes a lot.
Do i care? Not a jot.
Hooks are fun. Tunnelling and slugging are boring.
Each to their own but video games are supposed to be fun and that's how I see DBD. A few fun games a day and on to other things.

To me a good game isn’t winning, it’s getting to PLAY. I’ve had people interrupt me doing a glyph for a challenge not because they had to, but because they enjoyed ruining something for someone else. You could’ve let me finish getting my glyph and you could still get your down. But there are a lot more people that will go out of their way to make sure that your time is as miserable as possible there are people who understand that they aren’t the only one playing the game.
If I “lose” but was able to actually play and have some fun and get some points or complete the challenge that I was trying to complete, I’m fine with that.
What I am not fine with is the people that go out of their way to make sure that others can’t play the game or can’t have any fun whatsoever. And that has nothing to do with someone being competitive it has to do with being a rotten person.

You can say all this well meaning stuff all you want and that is fine but I learned the hard way that you cant change people and there will be awful people no matter what. Unfortunately this is why devs in games have to introduce mechanics to account for the lowest common denominator.
There will always be people who simply want to make others feel bad and ruin things for them.
But you are right in that you have to find ways to have fun that work for you, even if just so you keep your sanity

thank you, you too 😘

First of all, the community is too toxic for this. If you lose, survivors will almost assuredly rub it in your face.
Secondly… I play to win because I like to win. I don't care about some invisible MMR stat. I like winning because winning gives me a nice little hit of dopamine. Winning feels good. Losing feels bad. Having your loss rubbed in your face feels worse. So I play to win.

I never understood the argument about "the other player is sweating and so I can't have fun". If you are only playing for fun, then the match outcome shouldn't bother you, so whether the other player sweats and wins should be irrelevant.

"First of all, the community is too toxic for this" mhh I'm really surprised, that a post like this is getting so many downvotes. Most people are probably only interested in winning. If that's the case, okay. Whatever 🤷♂️

the fact people are downvoting this is so telling and it's really sad.

The community is not "toxic." I saw your post in another thread about how often you cop BM from survivors. Your post here is likely why tbh. They can see you're trying hard and sweating, so they know they can easily tilt you. I'm not saying BM is good BTW. But your opponents will match your energy. If you're being unpleasant, it's not surprising to hear they're unpleasant in turn.

You don't go to a casino to play games. You go to chase that feeling when you win. It's similar to that.

Speak for yourself, I go to the casino to pick pocket drunk people gambling.

Nah "play for fun, wins dont matter" doesnt work in dbd. Its mostly used to gaslight killers into a survivor approved playstyle.
Ive yet to see survivors who really dont care about escaping. Most get angry they died "too early", a timeframe they cjoose for themselves ("killer is bad/unfair when i die before i get x")

For you it may be secondary. You already said yourself that winning is fun for me, but that doesn't have anything to do with ego.
Think of it like a sport you train regulary in a club: of course you want to get better and train for that, of course you rather win than lose, of course you want to proudly say that you play against good players. What sense does it make to play a game against other people if you don't try to win?
I'd really like to at least see my own mmr simply because I find it interessting. A ranking would be perfect but that probably takes a while if we ever get it.
