So why does it literally make you want to off yourself when you play killer? The general human toxicity is in all multiplayer games, but heck this game community is damn near sociopath. And it's, ironically, less on the killer side (I play both sides equally, if not more survivor).

T-bagging is a standard, nay, a staple in the life of a killer.

You get sniped through voicecomms, people brazenly gang up on you from behind, ensuring your isolation in a corner of a map.

You get thrown crap in chats after games, let alone if you dare to camp the only survivor you were able to grab all game at end-game.

And then you get a good run after a month.

And then the cycle goes on.

Here's an idea for a killer fix: set FOV on the same scale as First-person shooter. That'd be a start. Get rid of FOV bonus perks in exchange.

Still can't believe I was rank 1 as a killer at some point.


P.S.: Yep. I get really toxic in turn. That's what it breeds. Not proud about it, though.

P.S.2: I know this conversation is eternal.

    May have something to do with killer being the only person on the team. Most online games are team vs team so the toxicity is spread out evenly. Here the survivors only have one person to mess with.

    And yes killers can be toxic, its just not as apparent because there are so few of them in the game.

    Oh for sure. We've all had our share.

    As for the first comment, you're absolutely right; this game mechanic is inherently unbalanced, and it's fine up to that point. What people do with it, however...

    Killer side is less toxic ... wow. How biased can someone be by even just saying that survs can literally only teabag which has no effect on gameplay at all if youre mentally fine.

    Learned this from my boss, life is 10 peecentt what happens to you and 90 percent what you make of it. Toxicity as well as most things in life only get to you in you let them. Had to learn that for this game. Especially as killer.

    If they are doing something to annoy you just kill them problem solved. If you can’t kill them you need to get better

    Usually I don't die much on survivor side, personally. Unless a killer goes out of their way to tunnel me. Which -does- happen quite a bit. Or Myers xD I disagree with your latter statement, though; some SWF groups dedicate themselves to trolling killers. As per Youtube shows quite clearly. Losing a game can be fun, actually. When you know you're beat because someone is better than you... can be really funny, actually.

    I've laughed wholeheartedly at Spirits mori-ing me or grilling me perfectly; they played a clean, overpowering game! Or no-K game because they've outsmarted me, great!

    But my point is: why bully.

    I get 15 messages a day from survivors. Over 4500 hours i can count on 2 hands the number of ######### messages ive gotten from kilkers.
