Why are Laurie Mains Hated so much?

I actually am a Laurie main and I can say a lot of people just don’t like her because some aren’t toxic and it’s because of decisive strike and object of obsession because you can see the killer and nobody can’t

It's probably you the same reason why some of us Legion mains are hated.
People tend to remember the the negatives and frustrations of decisive strike and simply apply that to every Laurie they see.
Hell if MoM was as prevalent of an issue for as long as decisive strike was you will probably get the same reaction to Ash mains all two of them

If she has OoO equipped, I have to make sure she dies immediately else the swf she's in knows what I'm doing always.

What would the responses be then?

Btw, i think the scars created by Decisive Strikes ache every time they see a Laurie. 🤭

Ironically I just gave hatch to a Laurie going for an adept right before reading this post. I almost didn't want to because I was playing Ghostface but I did it. Then a Nea got mad at me saying I should have given hatch to her cause she was more "skillful." She had BL,DS,UE,Adrenaline and skeleton key with a weaved ring...

I always associate Laurie's with DS. Got some real nasty PTSD from back in the day. Using OoO doesn't help either, as many killers will assume you're the designated looper and won't treat you the best. Combine that with the DS thing and yeah, things won't go well. And if you're going against a stealth killer, that's basically a guaranteed facecamp.

Laurie is not a problem. Anymore. But there was a reason once upon a time why people disliked her. It primarily has to do with ds back in the day - Lauries were usually the really good loopers with a bright white flashlight at pallets. Now, she’s relatively harmless but OoO still exists and unfortunately if a killer sees OoO they’re not going to think “aw they’re going for the adept” - they’re going to assume you’re out to make them miserable. Like the olden days.
Tldr; it has to do with Laurie’s toxic history and now it has nothing to do with Laurie herself but with her OoO.
The toxic Lauries of yore have mostly moved to pink Nea I noticed, although some still exist to tarnish her good reputation.

I'd say it's the old DS, but I only started grinding Laurie levels AFTER DS was nerfed, and got her to P1.
I am a laurie main now, but her history makes it clear why she's hated though...

Laurie mains have a reputation for always packing Decisive Strike. Killers hate DS.
In addition, anyone packing OoO will get the killer's hatred no matter what, because OoO is associated with toxic ######### survivors who want to loop the killer all game.

Because of the old DS... that perk was legit BS

I don't really notice anyone being particularly mean to my Laurie. I wouldn't say I main her anymore. But she's prestige 3, and she was my first survivor, because Halloween got me into the game. I still play her regularly.
I will say this...as killer she is probably one of the easiest survivors to spot. Her bright blue pants and shirt give her away most of the time making her easy to find, chase and follow.

Decisive Strike naturally. Killers usually associate popular perks with their character of origin.
It's like Ash when Mettle Of A Man was first released. He was tunnelled in to the earth's core.
