    Downed the last survivor close to an open gate. There weren't any hooks close and since the egc timer was pretty low, i decided to watch the entity come and take him. Turns out he had unbreakable so I got a nice view of him running out the gate.

    Letting the bad player escape. For a day they kept spamming me with messages like "Your Ass" or "Get good" and "Trash Killer" even thought I basically 4Ked her team. Eventually I just reported her and I'm pretty sure she got banned.

    Chasing a Meg, downed her, had a trap pop halfway across the map and was using distance add-ons. Fumbled the key press to pick her up because I was getting ahead of myself and hit Left-Alt (which is my teleport key) and yeah... that game didn't end well.

    I just spent an entire game as killer defending my Devour totem, that was next to a survivor on a hook. As in within 3 feet. Cause the second anyone went for the save, they would do the totem first. They also kept unhooking the survivor in my face.


    Needless to say, I got 0 stacks and after the first survivor died on that hook I just gave up on trying to use devour at all.

    I once walked to a generator with the intention to repair it.

    I tried to cleanse a totem before as well.

    I still catch myself holding down left shift in order to run while playing killer.

    It's actually not something I have done, it's something I keep on doing and seem to never learn :)

    Basically I rush myself for no reason and keep on landing the hit too early, I eegularly give at least 3 wrong hits each game, which of course result in a waste of time that becomes decisive for me losing some matches :)

    tried to attack someone with Wraith without uncloaking..... 3 times.... in the same match.

    When the game first came out (less than 3 months), I, and a lot of other people, thought the perk Insidious made the killer completely invisible. I would stand 5m away, just out in the open waiting for other survivors to rescue a hooked survivor. Adding insult to injury, I guess they thought I just went AFK and tried a hook rescue...so, I thought it was "working".

    Putting a trap on a survivors head as Pig, then they kill themselves on the hook/DC, or if they're on death hook and I didn't realize it until after.

    When I started the game I thought the nurse was the worst killer followed by Billy...and Wraith and Doctor top tier...

    Somehow forgot I was carrying a survivor while chasing another down.Then there was the time I thought I was losing it, everytime I went for a hook the aura disappeared.I dont know how many I walked past before they wiggled free. (Forgot all about that perk which hides hooks around you,I forgot the name.I done many things that question my skills and thinking as a gamer since Nintendo lol

    Hooking the last survivor and then realizing I had a cypress mori active.

    Thinking dedicated servers might be good.

    Nothing like carrying someone to the basement, and as you reach the hook, you teleport all the way to where you picked them up, take two steps, and then they get off your shoulder. Huntress hatchets hitting me as survivor while they hit the ground/walls near me. Pallets going down, then the killer hitting me while inside of them, teleporting backwards, and then getting stunned. Vaulting windows and running, only to teleport backwards to the sill and getting hit. Reaching people on generators/hooks/injured at vaults, beginning the grab animation, and then nothing happening while they run off.

    First time playing trapper I only managed to down one person. After I picked them up the gates were opened and I wasn't paying attention and stepped in my own trap. Never played trapper again.

    "Protect the ruin" Pig. I even got a couple of hooks and one time a guy died on a timer. It was hilarious.

    Though a couple of times a guy said at the end chat "dude, you're stupid" and I was like "nah, I'm probably way smarter than you are, I'm just bored"

    One time I had waited so long for the game to match me up that I completely forgot I had run an Ebony Mori till the game was over. Worse, I had one kill and definitely could have gotten a 4x.

    Played around with the splinters and tried Mikey out. I knew about 99ing for tier 3, so worked to get my stalk, tiered up, completely forgot I had tier 2 and tiered up again thinking I was still in tier 1. I was tier 3 and shocked. Ngl I was staring at the survivor like "woops!!"

    I thought they had to stay on a hook for 3 whole minutes total and didn't know about hook phases, so I camped a lot my first week. Also thought bleeding out counted as a kill for the mori dailies. I think there's a few more things I don't remember at the moment. Just causing trouble with my beginner level Doctor was so fun, especially after I figured out how to actually play

    Attacking a Survivor rather than closing the hatch that we both went for.

    Played Dungeon Master Trap Daddy and in my hubris stepped in my own trap in the basement with a survivor on my shoulder with the whole squad behind me on the stairs to witness my shame.

    What a terrible mistake...really you kept your audio low? Lol

    Here's mine. I looked away from the screen for 3 seconds.

    This happened last night. The last guy was slugged and didn't know he had a key. I look for him and instead of picking him up, I close the hatch and watch him get picked up by adrenaline and escape by hatch. I couldn't stop laughing.

    I was playing Oni with Tinkerer trying to jumpscare Survivors.

    I see Tinkerer go off and approach the gen to see an injured Dweet working on it.

    So I go up and grab him off the gen.

    He DS'es me, finishes the gen, Bottled Time instaheals as I hit him after, and sprints to safety.

    Jokes on me, he wasn't a Dweet and I wasn't scaring anyone that game. :(

    So, I'm doing an "end game piggy" (or wraith, or any killer), it's hilarious when it works. I go AFK, I have a laugh of the stupid things survivors do in front of me, like running around to farm boldness points, or blind me, or vault pallets over and over... so when the time is right, I activate myself and start killing. At first I waited til 25% of the end game bar I wanted a 4k just by using 1 hook and blood warden, but most of the time it didn't work, or they did my NOED which defeated the purpose. So now I go to a gate, wait there and when the NOED activates and there are some people around, I start the killing.

    I've gotten insults, laughs or even threats like "I'll report you for being AFK on purpose, enjoy your ban" from a guy who died, of course :-D It's hilarious.

    When I first started playing as killer I thought hitting people on the hook made them die faster. xD

    You closed your eyes for 3 seconds and lost 3 gens, all I got to say is 'git gud', how dare you take 3 seconds to breathe.

    Assuming survivors are always good and ready to loop. I do lots of double faking and I look back and there they are, sat at the pallet while I’m wasting time; it breaks my soul.

    I had 4 panicked survivors running around in the exit area with Blood Warden active. EGC was set to end just before blood warden. ..... Then I downed someone..... grrrrrr.

    Wanted a few extra points for the hit, but forgot it would slow down the EGC timer. Felt bad for the guy, so I let him crawl out after the other 3 escaped.

    I play no stalk no add on myers quite a lot. Its good for some jumpscares, you definitely will never win like this though.

    Accidentally hitting the R2 button on Ps4 to set a trap while closing in on a chase with Trapper and losing valuable time. Happens at least once every other game and costs me the match usually.

    Because I now stick to low ranks i have a bad habit of trying to outplay people at loops who just keep running and throwing pallets lol
