What is a sweat build?
I got told I was running a sweat build and didn't deserve the KR I have by a survivor. When I asked what a sweat build was I was told it is self explanatory. I said it is not then I was told it is and I am lacking in brain cells, I assume because the person actually didn't know how to define it.
Could someone please define the term for me?

Any build that beats me.
But serious answer, most people usually refer to using strong/meta perks or perk combos. Just ignore them, strong/meta perks get their designation for a reason, if you want to use them and people cry about it they're just scrubs.

Anyone who calls others 'tryhards' and 'sweaty'is actually saying something else. Allow me to translate.
Tryhard/Sweaty Name-Calling Translation:
'I'm too egotistical to believe anyone can be better than ME. I'm also too good to ever make a mistake. Therefor it was not YOUR skill that beat me. It also was not MY lack of skill that made me lose. Thus, it had to be your OP perks/gun/build/items/loadout and nothing else, ever. Anything else would mean I'm not the utter god of <insert game being played here>.'
This means you can safely ignore, and even laugh at, people who call you 'sweaty', 'tryhard' or other variations. Because they lack the introspection to look at themselves & improve, and thus will always suck, and always make excuses.
This has been a production of Salt Chat Translation Studios, make possible by the salt of angry PvP players in games the world over.

A sweat build is something that a Survivor feels is OP, a build that is designed to make the match very easy for the Killer, i.e a good build.
For example, NOED, Make Your Choice, Ruin, and BBQ & Chili as a Nurse with an Ebony Mori and the Omega Blink add-ons. That build is made for instant downing Survivors and murdering them soon after, a build where the Survivor has mostly 0 chance, a try hard sweaty build Survivors don't like because they know they'll lose.
A lot of Survivors feel entitled, that they deserve to win, no one deserves or is entitled to anything. If anyone says your build is questionable and toxic or try-hard, they are just mad they lost to a build meant to destroy them. Just like their build of Adrenaline, D-Strike, Dead Hard, and Borrowed Time with an instant-heal Med-Kit, Killers dont like those but do we complain and call them sweaty? They would just laugh and tell us the same things I'm telling you right now.
My specialty is Basement Builds, I LOVE carrying people down there and trapping them inside, watch entire teams go full ######### and bum rush the hook against Leatherface etc. Or watch as they go down the steps Asleep against Freddy with Snares everywhere. I get criticized for that and they're just mad they didn't come up with the GRAND IDEA of doing gens FAR AWAY from the BASEMENT lol

Meta is an anagram for Most Effective Tactic Avaiable, or something like that...
Basically, it means using the tools that get you the best chance of victory.

Okay so my next question is what is a meta perk?
I have been playing for less than a month and I haven't learned all the lingo yet.

Meta Perks are the best perks everyone uses most of the time, basically the Top 5.
Survivor--Adrenaline, Decisive Strike, Dead Hard, some people say Self-Care but those people sit in a corner while their friend dies on a hook so maybe not.
Killer--To be honest I have no idea what is considered a meta perk for Killers besides BBQ & Chili. Hex: Ruin is said to be mandatory by a lot of players, not me, so I can't see something mandatory as a meta.
The main difference between Survivor meta and Killer meta perks are that Survivor perks are 99% useful while a lot of Killer perks are either situational or just badly designed so they can't be meta.

99% survivor perks are useful? Thats absolute and COMPLETE bs.

I worded it wrong lol I was trying to say, most Survivor perks can be used in any match, as in most of the time no matter what perk you have you will have several moments where you can use it.
Unlike Killer perks like Mad Grit, a lot of times you won't have body blockers or Hangman's Trick, NOED might never turn on, Tinkerer can't be capitalized on, etc. But most Survivors perks will always have a chance to be used, some that can't are anti-slug perks.

If someone calls you a tryhard then the correct response is "thanks for the compliment"

If a perk is so good that most people consider it mandatory then it's Meta.
The best Killers perks are:
BBQ, Ruin, PGTW
Survivors have Exhaustion perks (which make up 4 different perks), Adrenaline, DS, BT
They used to also have MoM but.... now they don't.
Survivors have more great and amazing perks but also have more perks that are just bad. Don't get me wrong, both sides have terrible perks, but Survivors have more of them. Things like buckle up, stake out, tenacity, boil over ect just aren't worth using.
Meanwhile Killer's have more perks like Whispers, Corrupt intervention, ect which aren't Amazing but also aren't useless or nearly useless. But rather they are simply balanced.

Any perk you use as a killer/survivor will make you get called a sweat! Hell I even get people that will call my No Mither build sweaty lmao. So the best way to avoid this is to play as un optimally as possible otherwise you must be a sweaty gamer nerd!
