Dont be a toxic SWF

Toxic flashlight spamming, body blocking, t-bagging, and pointing SWF groups seem to be more and more frequent. If you're gonna do it, dont be bad and dont get mad when you get camped.

    As a solo player, i get tunneled and farmed constantly for just trying to do gens, hide, and break totems with occasionally unhooking when it's safe. No flashlighting or teabagging of any kind.

    Otherwise, SWF is the only way to earn tons of BP, avoid DCs, and rank up even faster than normal.

    Honestly. You don’t really have much of a chance as solo unless you want to get hatch most games. Swf is the only way to have a decent match(meaning atleast 2 or more get out the gate) where it could go either way and still that’s all dependent on how good the teammates are.

    I think it’s incredibly fair to say both sides do incredibly scummy things. I was moried and tunneled 4 times in the last two days after my first hook, and I’m not even toxic. I’ve been lag switched twice recently(and I don’t even abuse to infinities and beyond) chalk it up to a bad match and gg. Both sides deal with some “toxic” stuff. We’ll get em next time.

    So true. Turbo Virgins plague both sides of the field. I'm just tired of being rank 9 and being matched with rank 15-20 folks with less than 300h play time. This new match making system is killing me slowly. I don't even bother taking items or offerings anymore. They get wasted due to infinite loading screen, game crashing on the load screen/mid game or the best yet, all 3 people DCing when they see its Legion.

    I still think playing solo and playing killer vs SWF should have actual incentive to play. I'm sticking to my guns on this one.

    There’s some heavy duty squads out there. Usually if my team is doing well, we’ll meme around the next few matches if we get weaker killers. Yesterday we played and nobody touched a single gen. We just ran around with traps on our heads from a pig and just saved each other. Touched totems. She was tunneling too which is wild considering we weren’t even doing gens 5 gens up, and still tunneling. I guess she didn’t get we were memeing? I’m sure she thought we garbage 😆 i play solo mostly too. It will take a piece of your soul though. You realize how potatoe some of these people really are. More people should play solo and really hone their skills.

    Playing survivor is why I find it hard to play killer. I've had so much bad ######### happen to me in game, when I play killer, i have too much pity and mercy unless someone's clicking ######### in my face lol.

    Body blocking is a legitimate strategy. Other than that, the rest i totally agree with. Super annoying.

    I enjoy making toxic teabagging ds users bleed out from the start or facecamping that clicky claudette until she dies.

    @Eveline There is no sound sweeter then the cries of agony from a downed Decisive Strike P3 Claudette slowly bleeding out on the ground.

    Definitely. Or Megheads but at least Megs usually suck. I despise their voices.

    Those toxic groups in my experience are just an annoyance but usually never escape, not every swf's goal is to be toxic either though, because as people have said before solo can be a huge pain most time it's just either I escape from hatch or get farmed by teamates or you have survivors on your team that get found in the first 60 seconds and get downed right away

    @Heroiq umm your step number 7 will not work anymore next patch since there will be a delay before you can drop a survivor on the floor and also you can't spam r for flashlight saves anymore either for next patch.

    Body block is fine, how else will I get my WGLF stacks?

    The ones spamming flashlights in killers faces I find usually extra potatoe at the game. They are just trolling.
