Do you take the kill?
So I was in another post, and answered how I will some times give a killer a kill.
We all know sometimes MM is messed up. And so as the game goes along you begin to realize that the killer maybe isn't as high rank as you are.
So if this happens and killer tried their best and wasn't being a dink, I may point at hook and let them get a kill.
Seems I get two main responses. 1 will just pick me up and carry me to exit doors. Others just hook me and constantly hit me.
So I am asking, do you accept the kill in this situation? Does it bother you if a survivor gives a kill? Why would you keep hitting me on hook?

If I'm confident I didn't depip, and the killer is clearly low rank, I'll give it to them.

I'm usually the kind of person to drag them back to the exit gate. I try to accept the match for how it went, and plus if somebody is trying to be that nice it's hard for me to want to not let them escape.

Of course the killers going to give you a few whacks on the hook.
He just got looped like crazy and probably abused. He's not having a very good time as he feels helpless and can't do anything right. He's fuming at this point.
Then to top it off he has this one prick survivor that is making fun of him. Because he's going to stand there and let him get a kill. Because the guy wants to show off and pretty much spit in his face and say, "The only way you're ever going to get a kill is if I give it to you." ....
But you don't understand why he's giving you a few F U slaps? Okay buddy.

I tend to if my teammates are just absolute #########, BMing killer, flashlight spam (depending in the context of spam) Absolute perk abuse and bullying killer, I'll just let myself die after a token chase. Not only is it a boost for the killer, but good luck escaping down a man.
Same as killer, I spread punishment equally (as in i don't tunnel) but if you're being a dick to another survivor, don't expect to get off the hook.

That’s why you don’t hand them the kill in a way it shows them you did it on purpose you accidentally mess up a loop near the end. They will feel they got it based upon skill not letting you hand it to them. I have done it for killers and I also let survivors go if the team was playing good and they were close or I can tell the mm put me up against survivors that are no where close to me in rank. I’ve actually gotten a few messages from survivors thanking me for bein nice and added them to the game to play some with them and try to help them improve some.

I can respect that!

Damn bro, you took that to a dark space.
Not every killer hits you on the hook. So I guess your suggestion is not to give them a kill. But it's ok to give a survivor the escape?

Yeah I am very similar. I don't do it to be mean, but to give him some points.
As killer if I got 2 left. There always seems to be that 1 survivor hiding and the other trying to do objectives.
I always hunt for the hider and let the guy doing objectives go.

Smart, think all take this advice.

But that doesn't make sense. If I had a bad round as survivor and the killer feels bad and let me have the hatch, I would be happy and wouldn't think he is just rubbing it in. And I've also never heard that a survivor was pissed because the killer gave him the hatch.
Letting the killer kill you costs you 5000 BP, who would be willing to lose that amount of BP just to rub it in, if you could just teabbag in the exit gate for the same effect?
Whenever there is a discussion about showing mercy as Killer someone says "survivors don't give free kills to the killer either, so why should the killer give free escapes to the survivor? ". And now doing exactly what thay asked for is wrong?

I was just kinda being a little funny about it. But I don't think I'm too far off.
I don't know. In my time as playing killer. You don't want the pity kill. When you have a terrible game as a killer it feels like crap. That's why killers get so mad when people don't leave the exit gates. They want the game over. They want to move on. The game was no fun and getting a kill at the end isn't going to make it better. The best way to make them happy would just be to get the game over as fast as possible.
I think that's why I don't play killer anymore. You're pretty much responsible for five people having fun. If you do a ######### job then no one has any fun. The stress! I don't think giving them a pity kill is helping any. But maybe.

See that is my question. I don't get the double standard here.
You make a good point, if I wanted to be toxic I would tbag at the gate.
And not all killers hit me. Some just carry me to the door, other message, thanks, all tho that is rarer.
Thank you for your thoughts!

Yeah but that's just how it is. If it's up to me I'm going to give the survivor that played the best the hatch. If I knew a survivor was doing nothing for their team... I'm not going to give them the hatch. Giving it to someone that played well is clearly the best choice here. Why reward people that hide in lockers in the whole game over someone whose out there trying to get the objective done?
And while I feel that way. Other killers would take the survivor that's playing well and trying to give him a challenge and tunnel him off hook until he's dead. Everyone's different. But... I did say I was having fun with my answer. I really don't think it's a big deal. If you wanna give him a kill you can. But he's still rocking that ebony mori the next game.

Gotcha.
I have played a lot of killer, and as I have got better I see this far less often.
I am of the same mind that most time I will take you to the exit gates.
But, if it may save me a safety pip, I may have taken it. Not so anymore as I've gotten to red ranks and most games there are a sweat fest.
I have recently switched to survivor myself, and have only recently been "good" enough to offer a kill. When I first started I'm pretty sure I spawned on the hoom, I was down so fast.

I haven't offered a kill often and most of the time the killer dropped me at the gate, but from the killers that took the kill I've never gotten a thanks so I wondered myself if the killers are generally happy to get a kill or not.
Idk, I'm happy if a killer lets me live and I would be happy too, if a survivor offered me a kill, but I guess people think different about that.

Depends on a lot of things, really. I helped a Nancy get her Pallet Stun challenge. She'd wait for me at every pallet, and then slam it down on me. Then wait for me again, then I'd follow her. Once we got 5 in, she pointed to a hook. Only 4 gens were done, so I downed her, and hooked her. If all 5 had been done I'd probably have let her go though.

Yes, I feel terrible.
At least the EGC kill because most of them are new and haven't even seen the animation.

I never take such a kill because I want to earn them myself. That being said I am a sneaky survivor when I give kills or downs. I got a nurse on console today and she was struggling to get hooks. I think she was still learning so when the game was midway I abandoned the loop into a deadzone on purpose so she could catch me.
It just feels better when you play killer to hunt them down and catch them. You already know your not that skillful as (this) killer, so I level the playing field this way. Don't want killers to get discouraged especially something as rare as a nurse on console!

Yeah, that is true. It is sometimes not a new killer, but a new to them killer.
I always respect those that try new killers at higher ranks.

No, I always decline. I'll take a hook if it happens to be a BBQ stack, but first I make sure the other survivors are sticking around to rescue. In that case, I see it simply as a way to squeeze out the last few points, like when they give free hits at the gate and you let them get blinding points.
Aside from that, I can accept the outcome of the match as is. If I performed poorly, I will simply have to improve.
I understand, but not justify, why certain players will actually take the offer and then proceed to bm for no reason. They might be fuming and misread the intentions. Still, it's a petty reaction.
On a sidenote, I would also be fine in being sacrificed when the killer decides to give me the hatch. The reason I take the offer instead is that it is simply more expedite to end the match there and then, rather than getting into an 'argument' with the killer.

If i'm playing with friends and we clearly know the killer isn’t the same rank as us and struggles, usually all of us will die to egc so the killer can get more points. If i’m playing solo and notice my teammates are being toxic but still manage to escape i’ll let the killer kill me because ik they must be so annoyed. I never get slapped on the hook after doing that though, guess you just have bad luck lol

I usually go for looping and reward the killer with a kill if he gets me, even when the gates are open. Just gives the killer points and fun for both sides.

Wow.
Maybe you should take a DBD break. You salty AF.

I often play "no kill' Killer. I will 2nd hook everyone, but once that's done, I just work on other objectives...gen destruction, palette breaking, chases, hitting or downing but not hooking. Sometimes in those matches a survivor will clearly want me to kill them, as they know they're gonna pip. These matches usually give everyone good points. It used to bug me, and I'd carry them to the door. Anymore, I just hook em. If they want to die, that's cool with me.
I do see how a pity kill could be seen as condescending, I guess. I don't like it when a Killer goes balls deep on a team and then gives the last person the hatch or lets them open the door and leave. It doesn't feel like a win. I, personally, would rather take that burst of good sportsmanship and apply it in a much thinner layer across the course of the entire match.
