Killers are so easily pissed off...
I've now been playing over 10 months as a mostly a solo survivor main on PS4. I found this game to be a huge challenge, but I love survival horror and wanted to get good. Since the new pip system was put in place, I get to green ranks pretty easily every season and purple once. I struggle in the higher ranks so I've tried to get help from others to get better at juking, using the flashlight effectively, implementing a major stealth build, etc. It's helped, but I get tunneled or camped more now than before especially in the higher ranks. I ask killers why so I can get feedback and aside from the killers who just think I'm salty and send rude responses, I've gotten some reasons such as flashing them to drop a survivor, pallet looping, sabotaging a hook (btw I only do this for the ritual), taking a lot of protection hits (I was trying to get 3 when I was seeing if I could activate MOM), being hardcore stealthy, etc. I've read on here how killers will get pissed at you for some of these things. Why do we even have flashlights in the game if using them is considered toxic by many killers? Why does the game have a saboteur perk and toolboxes with the ability to sabotage hooks if doing that is considered toxic? I wanted to give the new MOM a try and see if could get it to activate so I had to keep taking hits for survivors and it just pissed the killer off so he focused on me and I got camped. I never do anything purposefully to try and piss a killer off. That's not my mindset. I never teabag the killer. When I play the killer, that's the thing that agitates me or when survivors use to hold the game hostage at endgame, which I never did. I never understood that. Sorry for the long rant. Perhaps I need to rethink some of my tactics or as many of you might say, deal with it and move on to the next match. Thanks.

well looks like these killer that you went against had a rough day xd, regardless killers shouldn't be pissed if you sabotage, pallet loop or be stealthy, if so then i can confirm that they are brain dead. but the more you pip, the more sweatier both sides become

You say that like it's only Killers.
I once downed someone; First find of the match. I chased them & downed them because
1) No gens were popping
2) I did not see anyone else.
They DC'd almost the SECOND they went into Dying state. Like, they must have had a friend ready to pull the plug for them.
They found my steam account, added me, and proceeded to claim they'd get me steam banned, and that I was tunneling, a tryhard, sweaty, a fat nolife out to ruin people's fun. It was rapid fire IM's over the course of 10 minutes while I just cackled.
Both sides can be toxic jerks, not just Killers.

As a killer main who hates flashlights :P, I just say to you: Play on the way it makes fun for you.
Every game has aspects, that you will hate, but if you are lucky, you find something you like.
Don't let that taken from you, just because some guys are toxic.
In exchange, the killer mains that complain about you, will maybe enjoy some other game mechanic that others hate. The only "help" is to focus on your own personal fun. When others then have also fun, its perfect but if not, then not.

Honestly the only time I camp is to secure atleast one kill in a losing game, or if I'm basement build on bubba. Otherwise I'm likely to tunnel if you have bright cosmetics because you're kind of asking for it. or if I cna confirm SWF and feel like making somebody angry, but thats only on my own bad days.

The OP already stated that there were things that survivors did that agitate them and that they did none of the things that are rightfully considered toxic. (Using items, utilising perks and tactics don't count, unless either side is using one of their made up rules) They aren't stating its only killers, they were asking why they were being camped (intentionally apparently given the replies they received) when they were not being intentionally toxic.
It seems to be the knee jerk reaction for the other side to get defensive immediately when a post like this goes up. Most of us know the other side can be toxic, it doesn't mean someone can't have a complaint, and it doesn't really justify it for either side if the the opposite side does something similar.
At the end of the day they could simply be asking because in this case, they might receive more of it from the killers.
@Cassandra_Alexandra I can't honestly tell you why people get offended tbh, because I don't understand it. As long as a player doesn't grief, teabag, mori spam or any of the actual toxic traits, nobody really earns that kind of negative attention. It's just become far too acceptable to react harshly to imagined slights. I do have to point out however, that camping is still a legit strategy, no mater how annoying it might be. I personally don't myself since its a silly way to let people gen rush you, but some choose to do it.

Sorry. I didn't say "only" killers. For the purposes of this post, I'm talking about killers specifically. I understand that survivors can be easily pissed off as well.

Thanks for the quick feedback. I never thought about the cosmetic thing.

That wasn't the OP. They were stating that killers seem "easily pissed off" not "killers are always pissed off"
And they were mainly talking about killers here not survivors

Sorry.
On these forums, it gets too easy to expect an 'Us vs Them' mentality.

Having played dbd for years now I can tell you one thing for sure: There are MANY killer mains who can't actually take the "stress" of playing killer and thus get easily triggered by things that are part of the average gameplay like pallet stuns or flashlight blinds.
Best thing is to ignore them and move on to the next game. Those people that get easily triggered luckily end up quitting the game at some point (probably thanks to strong SWF teams) eventually allowing you to have normal games with killers who don't take the game too seriously.
