Endgame Chats - Is being a decent person that hard?
I don't know why I'm writing this because I'm probably just going to get hate on this but more than ever recently, from both killers and survivors I have seen lots of toxicity in endgame chat.
I get it more as killer, but I see it from other survivors when I play survivor. Its just annoying and unneeded. I get called and see other killers get called bad for 1) not getting kills / getting only 1 or two kills. 2) running perks like NOED or Ruin 3) Even just playing a certain killer in the first place.
All that is so stupid. The other day I get from a 4 man swf with an instant heal and a syringe that I was "bad" and "had no skill" and should "uninstall" just because I "only" got a 2k as a nurse. I'm sorry, but just why?! I understand when people get salty from losing, but why are people so rude when they win?! It makes no sense and gives no satisfaction higher than just saying "gg" and being nice.
I get it the other way around to. Killers saying survivors were "ez" or "noobs" or that they "suck" because they ran certain perks which they "have to rely on to win" which means they "have no skill".
My whole point from this is simply to say, it doesn't take that much to be nice. Just say gg, or say kind things. Give people tips if they want them, but don't be a dick like I see most games. I have made legitimate friends from endgame chats when I have had a decent conversation with a killer or survivor about the game we have just played.
Treat others how you want to be treated, and if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it!
Now go out there and spread love 😂❤️

People take games too serious. It’s always been like this with most. I don’t see there being any community where there isn’t some toxic bickering or behavior. It sucks, but true.

I always try to make things more bearable, which is why I have s uch a strict policy of never using anything cheesey in this game. Someone DC'd super early on? I pull back on going so hard as a killer, and try to drag things out so we all get a decent amount of points, and i usually apologize about the DCers.

I don't know, depends how you play, I follow a "wouldn't want that to happen to me" personal rule when playing killer so I don't get much salt. I find some fellow survivors will even send you hate if they don't like how you played etc. I get angry at things that happen but then after a while you realise you don't actually care and it doesn't matter, there's always another match, some people take it way too personally. What's the point of ruining someone else's day, sometimes I've been wrecked by a killer and just laughed with them over something that happened in the match or a simple GG if they played well, I even do the same with survs that wipe the floor with me or escape because they're good.
On a positive note I have received lovely messages from survs over time as a killer, even some saying how I've jumpscared them or simple ggs or how they were glad I didn't camp or hook them when they were stuck in a tree or tunnel as a legion etc. I always thank kind survs, shame there's so many ego filled toxic people out there who are also probably the people who DC when they missed their old DS etc. We definitely could use more positive comments in the community, if it's horrible keep it to yourself and congratulate people on playing well?

As a killer i wish i could diable the end-game chat all-together. Usually i read their perks and items to see what exactly i was up against and how i could fare better against them, and once i open the chat i'm flooded with insults and slurs when i was just killing as killer.
Even if i perform poorly as a character i dont play and dont have perks for, im just berated with insults and is a pretty good reason why i dislike playing killer.

Yeah it's bad, and I'm sorry you have to deal with it. I do too, it really sucks when people go out of their way to insult you for pathetic reasons. Didn't get kills, or got just one guy all game? They'll laugh and spam insults, usually with "stop playing," "uninstall," or usually "#########" along with some variation or censored to try and avoid a report. It's disgusting.
Sometimes even other survivors will message, frustrated that they lost and you survived (or may have potentially caused a loss because you didn't perform as well as they wanted. That's what happens in online games. Unless you play with a full party of friends, don't waste your energy on negativity. Just take it as a learning experience and try better next time.
It was a huge problem in F13 when there was cross-faction voice chat by default. I hated it. The game spawns you as Jason even if you don't want it to, and all you get are heinous insults when you approach even when you haven't killed anyone yet. Why do I have to listen to this? Why do people have to be like this? We're just playing a game, for fun, and you aren't even losing. Or maybe you are, but that's what makes the game fun, trying to win and not knowing the outcome. Well anyway, just try to ignore it and behave better than they do.

Being a decent IS in fact hard for some people. Crazy to believe I know but y'know, they're just "HaViNg fUn" it's harmless. Seriously though. Most people in this game are dicks. Just ignore those #########

People say the things to do because of frustration. Since it’s the internet you can basically say anything to you want to a stranger (of course with some consequences of being banned!)
Laugh it off and move on. That’s what I do. 👹👹👹

I always drop a gg after a match, but people can be real #########... i never give into the part of me that wants to argue with some weeb or furry or p3 claudette or whatever, i just say gg, and queue up for my next match.
I have little rules i like to go by when i play this game. I dont tbag the killer when theyre not doing so hot. I dont camp that nea that looped me for almost 3 minutes. And before the DS rework, I NEVER used that perk. Its late, im going to bed.
Be nice, folks. If you see me, Daily, in your lobby, say hi! Thank you, and goodnight.
