Why survivors flashlight you
Now i understand why survivors who bring flashlights bring them all the time. Its not even a survival thing though. A successful blind on buys a few seconds, and not much more than just running away when they break a pallet instead of blinding them. However, the satisfaction of healing yourself with a medkit or repairing a gen slightly faster is just simply insignificant compared to the grand sense of achievement one gets from staring their enemy straight in the eyes and shining a flashlight right in their ######### face. Its just psychology.
Sincerely,
A survivor who doesnt want to be toxic but just wants to have a good time before getting impaled through the chest with a giant sacrificial hook.

Sure is fun staring into the entity's a-hole every time some teabagging-survivor flashlights me in the face.0

It's uncomfortable. I would never do it to others.1

Yeah im a noob killer and one time a survivor flashlight blinded me at every pallet or window or anything and i was so mad but honestly its one of the only ways a surivior can succeed at anything during a chase. Even if you get a few jukes in, unless youre really lucky or the killers a bad tracker, youre getting downed most timesPiiFree said:Now imagine the opposite feeling from the Killers perspective ;-)

That's ridiculous, "don't complain when I dodge intended items" is all your saying but yet you'll fully ######### stack your loadout against some noobs you deranked to go againstMaster said:@CJsDBD said:

Yes. Many of them just want to have fun. It's not easy, not even very effective, except flashlight saves. Ain't nothing "toxic" about it.
For all you killers out there mad about flashlights: let me remind you, WE'RE TRYING TO PUT THEM ON ######### MEAT HOOKS OR KILL THEM IN THE MOST BRUTAL WAY POSSIBLE!!!! So... are you sure you want to complain about someone pointing a flashlight at your face?3 -
Its just easy points at a pallet and survivors know there is little repercussion for it unless they enter a dead zone.0

When they try to blind me is only because I'm stuck in an animation, it's annoying because they just wait for me to break the pallet, it's not much because they will escape, usually I can just follow the sound, they just do it because "Oh, hey. Easy bloodpoints". Other than that I don't care, except that one time they managed to make me drop a survivor even tho I was looking at a wall, I was pretty confused

I just bring Lightborn when I see a flashlight in the lobby. They're annoying but honestly not hard to play around. Besides, I'm not gonna begrudge a survivor for usibg a tool they're given.

Exactly, people don't use flashlights just to piss you off, we use them because it gives us the control in a chase and the power, the game is literally about survival and killers complain when survivors try to do that.

ITT: killers whining about not enjoying some of the only ways survivors can defend themselves.
You know what annoys me when I play survivor? Getting hit or hooked. Think of my feelings and enjoyment, you selfish killers
Lol @ "I don't use the flaslight cause it's mean." This is not a children's game.

This might shock you but sometimes you get blinded when you're locked in an animation and can't look up.UwU said:@ClogWench said:

How is a killer supposed to look up when they destroy a pallet? You should play some games as killer.

I run into pallets all the time intentionally. 9 times out of 10 you get the hit with the current hit boxes. I also get downed five or more feet from windows too, so it's a real issue.

The killer can just hear where the survivor is going when he is blinded? Flashlights is useless unless you try to flashlight save a survivor. I really hate all of these killers thats like "flashlight op" because its not. Just git gud
btw i play killer and survivor 50/50.

Don't forget that flashlights, and firecrackers destroy hag traps, burn a wraith out of cloak, and prevent a nurse from blinking. When shined on them, obviously.0

I don't agree. I see good rank 1 killers in streams using enduring, are you telling indirectly they are incompetent?PiiFree said:@CJsDBD said:
Which is worse, getting pallet stunned, or blinded?Pallet stunned is the result of the Killers incompetence.
Flashlight is just unavoidable during pallet break animation, that's what makes it more annoying to deal with.
The problem of the "stop just before the pallet to avoid an stun" tactic is that sometimes you stop and the survivors dont use the pallet when you think they will do it, you waste time and the loop become even longer. It's better using enduring, get stunned intentionally and break the pallet and if they don't use it sometimes you don't waste time stopping and sometimes achieve a hit.0 -

How bad has Tru3 become lately
He might plan on doing a hiatus0 -
Don't speak about Tru3, fans might get upset.0

Yea it's the satisfaction for me, considering that survivors have limited tools to fight back against the killer i always try to play the protector role when i bring one in.

But I'm curious, what "good" Killers are you talking about?
I know many Killers that believe "eating" and breaking each pallet as quickly as possible is the most efficient way to play Killer. It's not.
Yes, stopping in front of the pallet is probably the most predictable and easiest way to bait a pallet drop without getting stunned but that's not what I'm talking about. You can lunge into a pallet but stop right before you enter the hitbox of the pallet. Of course you can only do that if the hit would actually connect, good survivors will know that by judging the distance and drop the pallet to avoid the hit, allowing you to bait it. As a Billy main, I can quickly revv my chainsaw to let them think I'm expecting them to drop the pallet so they could continue the loop safely but in fact I'm just revving the chainsaw for a very short time to make them believe I wanna immediately break it with the chainsaw. So they continue the loop and I can easily catch up.
You'll also lose bloodlust when you get stunned or break a pallet, this allows them to easily get to the next pallet and your chase never really improves. Each pallet resets your whole chase progression until they run out of pallets,
I also see lots of "good" Killers breaking every single pallet that gets dropped even if it makes absolutely no sense to break it at that point.
But anyway, pallets are not really part of this topic.
E: To make it simple, you can bait a pallet without feeding them the stun. You can mindgame to respect or disrespect the pallets to bait them into either dropping the pallet or going for another lap that you'll easily be able to catch up with bloodlust. This is obiously harder if you eat every pallet and therefore never get your bloodlust up.

I usually watch one called Carlosxiri from my country and Truetalent too but very few times.

Killers have Ebony Mori and OP add-on (huntress instadown?) and whining about flashlight that get raped nerf after nerf..
1) there is a perk: lightborn, if u don't like flashlight, use it.(like me that run enduring with almost every killer because i don't like pallet stun and DS).
2) after all nerf to flashlight and related add-ons, u must need a lot of practice/skill for save another survivor from the shoulder of killer..
3) the killer have at least 2 tactics for avoiding flashlight's save..
first: put yourself on survivor and look down for a couple of second (bait for make running the other survivor), look around, hit other survivor.
Second: an horrible and terrible exploit/bug that BHV don't fixes.0
