Ridiculous amount of toxic survivors.

Best thing to do is ignore them and continue thinking about how you're going to beat them. If they're teabagging at a pallet, they aren't making distance to a new loop. If they're chasing you with a flashlight while you hunt someone else, they aren't doing gens or totems. You can use these people to your advantage, especially when they finally screw up and make a poor play.

As far as chat things go, toxic people are usually the ones to fire first with the mean comments. Just ignore them, or else you'll be giving them the salty response that they so desperately crave. Or better yet, play along with their toxic delusions and watch their confusion unfold as they try to process the concept of you agreeing with them (results not guaranteed, but it's hilarious when it works).

At the end of the day if these mean-spirited individuals are really pushing your buttons, might be best to just take a break and either play survivor or do something else entirely for a while. I know I like to take a break every once in a while when I encounter particularly nasty players.

Both sides have their share of toxic behavior. I for my part play only killer and try not to be toxic, so I also only see toxic survivors everywhere but know that many (by God not all) killer can also be toxic.

The thing is perception is warped in hindsight to forms of toxicity. Many think that tunneling, camping (not direct face camping, which is just dumb, boring and done with a negative intention) and slugging are done with a toxic mindset.

That is wrong in my eyes, they are done with a competitive mindset. (Yes there also many people doing these to be toxic but I mean the act itself in general).

Toxic behavior starts when the actions don't have any rhyme or reason in correspondence to achieving something gameplay wise. Tbagging at the exit, bodyblocking from survivors, nodding from the killer, watching a downed survivor bleed out, hitting on hook etc are not progressing anything but are meant to aggravate.

It's more that there's no way to really stop it as there's no common consensus on what's toxic in the first place. It's easy to punish people for obvious clear-cut things like breaking rules that say "don't say slurs" and "don't abuse exploits", but toxicity is way more subjective.

Lets say we try to punish people for in-game stuff commonly considered toxic, where do we draw the line? Is it bannable toxicity if two survivors are being silly and tbagging with eachother and the killer only sees one of them, so they think the survivor is tbagging them? Is it toxic if a killer accidentally presses m1 and hits a survivor on the hook once, or is it only toxic if they do it 3 or some other arbitrary amount of times in a row?

And that's without getting into all the opinions on what's toxic in the first place. I guess I might be considered "extreme" to some, as I basically think only pointless post-game hostility is genuinely toxic. Meanwhile someone else thinks all forms of camping is inherently toxic even at endgame, and yet another person thinks looping "too good" or even clicking the survive with friends button on the main menu is toxic.

Guy, in Europe you can play 15-20 games in a row against campers. That's worse

Well, I am 30 years old and maybe didn't really lost my inner child but I also don't understand your point about people, that don't like online toxicity, are part of the problem.

I understand it in form of "don't react to it, you just show them that it's working". But even then it is quite a far stretch to propose mental treatment.

I also think being toxic online just because noone can punish you, is an attitude that is not admirable.

That what I also think but at the same time it is next to impossible to get rid of entirely.

Those toxic people are protected by being anonymous online and hidden by an alias. There is no real way to punish them in a way that would the general public cease the toxicity like in real life with social standards.

I am all for banning those kind of people (I know my fair share from playing mainly league of legends, one of the biggest toxic swamps in the internet gaming scene). But for most it is too easy to simply create new account etc and enforcing I'd bans is I think either impossible or somehow illegal.

Gotta love these forums. It's like everyone complains about what they want, feel about this and that, blames one and the other. And no solutions whatsoever.

I feel like I'm reading everyone's Diary

"Dear Diary,

Today was a bad day for me, this one had me so mad. I think they should realize this BeHaviour isn't good for me. I wish I could have someone to tell all I'm feeling and it just change for the better."

Almost any online game has a toxic community, because internet is the easiest place to be an #########.

The tbaggers an flashlight clickers just want the attention they don't get in real life, probably because of a miserable house ambient or even school. If you ignore them its the best thing you can do to remember them how miserable they are.

if you see them, just tunnel and kill them.

no reason for your anger be on this thread instead of the very survivors who tbaged you

if it's an exit gate tbag, eat it up. you're gonna see that all the time.

Yep. These are the survs you face once you reach red ranks. Funny dbd teabag bully killer game hahahah this is going to my dbd funny moments compilation. How do you even have fun with people who don't take the game seriously?

Believe me or not. I'm already nice. It was how I was raised THAT'S my environment at play. I play nice, as I just posted. And still when even I lose. They don't give 2-piece about it. But oh if I downed them, hook them, chase their friend. I get called out with hate.

Same situation, I'm a solo survivor. Always have always will. I am doing my job. Fixing gens. What does that Stranger Survivor, wounded and running, do? Run to me while I'm healthy fixing a gen near complete. Bringing the killer to me

Why?

I'm playing fair, but they need me distracting the killer. Then that same player, wants immediately healed, "tbagging" to get my attention off the gen, when they find me working on a Gen after the fact

Did my nice playing effect and change that player's egoism?
