Message for Survivor Mains
Hello fellow survivor mains. I am a survivor main myself and I just wanna say, Let's try to be nicer to the killers who aren't toxic. Ik Both sides of the game have some Toxic People, but to the people who aren't toxic and just are trying to play, Let's try and be nicer to them. Especially if they are newer to playing killer and Don't know what they are doing. Let's try and be kind people to one another. And Ik ik, some killers have certain playstyle's they like that we don't ,but we do as well; have playstyle's we like but they dislike. Let's try and remember that at the end of the day we all Play this game to have Fun. So yeah, Love y'all and be safe out there during these Hard times ✌

Too late, I had zero items on my killer and had people crouch spam taunting me for about 5 games in a row
Toxic community is toxic.

God bless your soul for being kind to a killer, really hard to see people like that, here is a very old msg that I had when I had to play as survivors for dailies.
I want to say that was around...... 1.5 years ago? And later on I played against him again and I got absolutely destroyed by his nurse play.

I'm happy to see people who Appreciate and Bring up Killers Who aren't too good as killer.

Its strange, last week I got pack of survivors tbag clickclick me at the gate before leaving.
Just to see post game they're all 4 Red vs me Green as a new Plag. with barely any good perk with Tier1
Then one of them said: sorry
I know one of them feel bad about being toxic, but they could not being toxic before the Post game.
As my side toward survivors, if I noted a (or more) survivor is low skill, I will drop them infront their last hook, telling that I gave them another chance.

I usually sent gg <3 on ps4, and complimented their playstyle, I'm a killer main and I know that sometimes it's harsh but I love that people keep playing and getting better and better just because they got complimented once, I hope that people understand the other side better so toxicity would decrease and people could enjoy the game more.

Thanks on the thread starter for posting those. Sometimes I have talk about happy and positive talks in the endgame chat here in this forums, but I had always a bit the feeling that some people have not believe it.
Guess, it is not bad to show that there are more players out there, as just the toxic ones.

I'm always beeing nice to both sides. I play both roles eqally and know how certin situations feel like.
One time I was nice to a killer in chat (he played the game normally, not toxic at all and got a 4k) and he thoght I meant that ironically, because he couldn't believe that there are nice survivors out there. That kinda made me sad tbh.
If someone is toxic towards me I either just leave or wish them a nice day. Kinda funny how that triggers toxic people sometimes, when you don't start arguing with them :D

We need more people like you in the community.
5 -
Why? Do you not want the game to be less toxic?
4 -
OH. MY. GOD.
I'M NOT ALONE!
Funny how being kind to others generally means that they'll be kind in response.

We need more of this especially with everything going on currently. I have actually said I don't care about my MMR as killer now to many games vrs rank 20s with no perks.
I feel terrible for them so am just trying my hardest to provide them with a fun game at this point.
Keep up the positive attitude and thank you for being so decent 👏

Well, people have to realize we are one community. Killers are not your opponents, but your play partners, and like in any non-cooperative game, they want to make you lose and win themself.
Thats why i call out fellow survivors that are toxic, both ingame and in the aftergame chat, as well as giving pros to killer where those pros are due.

I see a lot of nice people on Xbox ngl.
Also explaining the emoji spam, both said gg and then the other guy spammed some so I did the same.
First two were being nice and saying gg after I had a bad game with Huntress.
4 -
That is very sweet of you. More of that would make the community a more positive place in general.

Sorry but this post almost seems to cater to killers as if they are the ones that receive negativity "more" than survivors. But nonetheless, I do agree, being nice wouldn't hurt and would benefit the community.
1 -
I always let them kill me if they play fair. So many ru...n campers and other selfish killers
0 -
I'm a rank 16 killer main who goes up against red ranks constantly, I don't camp, I don't tunnel and I don't try hard at all, I say GG, and I get messages back like "ur just saying that cuz ur trash" "ur bad" or "GG ez get good scrub" it's impossible for me to get any good survivors that are nice. I've only had 2 survivors be like that
8 -
Statistically they do.
They are an antagonist role vs 4 other people in a game where them winning means most of the 4 have to lose so there is more emotional(But not logical) reasons for survivor to be toxic to the killer then vice versa.
Killers are dramatically more likely to run into toxic/salty survivors being toxic to them(1 v 4(4 times as likely to happen)) then survivors VS survivor(At worse 1 v 3(4 times as likely to happen)) Toxicity or Killer Vs survivor(1 v 1(Normal rate toxicity)).
Its not pandering when its pointing out a statistically correct issue.
11 -
Fully support this. A nice message can make a lot of difference to a new killer, especially if the other messages they're getting aren't as nice
5 -
as someone who plays both sides but is mostly a survivor main, it saddens me to see people treat nice killers like utter garbage. Sadly the way the game works itll probably always be like that, that should stop you from being a good person tho, glad to see some nice people in the community <3
1 -
This community needs more survivors like you. I play both and I do notice that as killer you get a lot more toxic messages which happens in every game but especially this one. One time there was this really nice guy who gave me a compliment over xbox messages but I thought he was being sarcastic. Afterwards we both agreed that it's a very sad that I was that used toxicity that I couldn't even recognize a proper compliment. It's a shame the toxic side of community overshadows the positive side.
2 -
Even so, both parties should consider bringing less "toxicity"
0 -
with the recent MMR I have had more end game chats than normal and its been hugs all around usually LOL
I feel bad for the new players and want to SWF with them to teach them stuff hahaha
1 -
Nah it's easy to play killer. I'm a rin Legion and huntress main and I don't really have problems with getting 4ks. I get good survs too but I guess all the killers that say it's way harder to play killer and surv perks are op are just bad killers.
0 -
Can we please have MORE survivor's like you?
0 -
😕 err, y'know that the toxic teabagging survivors (usually also red rank SWFs) on PS4 regularly send either "gg" or "wp" etc messages to killers post game as trolling bait to be extra toxic right? It's like this boring trolling script they just parot for lulz that starts out seeming nice then they go ultra toxic if you respond or make fun of you if you say "thanks gg to you too" etc in response.
The added problem is if you call them out they'll pretend they aren't being a toxic troll (because every good troll pretends their not trolling for as long as possible) so you're stuck being unsure. Other day a team of red rank SWFs going clicky clicky, teabagging, trying to bully entire match etc and I didn't camp or tunnel them so all 4 escaped and one hits me up with a "gg" and I was like "Lol, gotta follow that script huh?" and they were "yeah lol" so I told them I wasn't gonna take the bait but I'd make sure I mori'd or facecamp them if I saw them again and they were all "I'm confused?" pfffft.
Fellow survivors can also be toxic to each other post game on PS4.
1 -
Im a hella nice killer most of the time, if the survivors I play against don't do very good or if I do something that is obviously toxic I give the final survivor hatch. But if the survivors I fight start tee-bagging and taunting and trolling then I just play as toxic as I can right back at them. There's a mutual given respect here that most people don't understand and that's what makes the community so toxic. Many times I get a "thank u <3" message after being a nice killer and I gotta say it feels great when I do.
2 -
Just ignore people. Just say gg then leave if you don't want toxic messages
0 -
It's hilarious how this community views healthy interaction as some rare occurrence. I respect your attempt, but toxic people are gonna be toxic and nice people are gonna be nice. The best we can do is not give the toxicity what it wants by making a big deal out of it or being toxic in response. Admittedly it's refreshing to see healthy player interaction on these forums, despite the fact I have usually 5 or more of these interactions a day on dbd(xbox).

I am a main with The Hag and I usually get a 4k game, I never really get any messages from survivors. Tbh I message them 😂😂 it just makes me so angry when a toxic survivor decides to loop you around the killer shack for the whole game. It's really annoying, but if that's how they escape and help their team, then I don't have much of a problem with it.
0 -
I've never had a survivor on ps4 send me a gg, usually hatemail is what I used to get.
But when I played survivor on ps4 I tried to sent to most killers gg <3 because I know why sometimes they had to play the way they played.
2 -
As both a killer and survivor main.The best thing to do is ignore the illiterate individuals.Don’t give them any attention that they want from you.This is why I have messages set to friends only on ps4.
2 -
Went against a trapper who was obviously new. Had one hook all game. So i messeged him. Gg matchmaking sucks lol
From there got into a long conversation about the game. Answered his questions. Pointed out things he didn't know. He thanked me and i felt better. Im never toxic and almost always send a gg afterwards. Just hope he remembers that. Killer is a long hard road to learn lol

New killer and poster here so if i write this screwy you know why ahem anyway
I started dbd 3 weeks ago just because of executioner. My first ten matchs were full of nothing but toxic jerks. When id finally get my first kill id get messaged a ######### immediately afterwords
One incident in particular was. My second game as executioner i hook a survivor. Start to go look for who i can because the doors are open i look straight ahead all 3 survivors are staring at me ten feet away so i just stand next to. The hook. See what their gonna do. They can all escape. They try to get the one i have hooked down one at a time i injure at least 2 and they get away.
After the match i get a message calling me a camping pos i reply saying oh im sorry man. Im still learning the game he says oh well everyone knows not to puppy guard ######### i just. Say ok man ill try do better next time hope you have good rest of your games
iv done that with every person trying be. Toxic. I just try be as nice as possible because im in the role of a monster doesnt mean i gotta be one. ^.^

I've only recently started to play killer and maybe it was dumb on my behalf, but I'm starting out with Legion. I've played 5 matches so far and only one have I played where it was a decent game. I even got a positive message. The other 4 matches were just unnecessary flashlight blinds, t-bagging, and post game DM Taunting. I feel like I should stick to Survivor...
2 -
I blocked off all messages and friend requests because of toxic survivors, but i do miss these wholesome interactions.
I do go out of my way to often message killers just to say gg, or encourage a nurse who barely got a hook, and just a nice message to that poor rank 16 who was against all red ranks.
I know they won't be able to reply since i blocked messages but somehow i hope it brings confort or a smile to their faces, and keeps them playing the game.
1 -
We do that. If the killer was good, and played a solid match. We'll give them a thumbs up, and a gg.
1 -
I am already nice to killers and I don't want them to be discouraged from playing any killer, especially nurse. I play on xbox and its a lot harder to play nurse on console. I've sent messages to 'em and have had them say stuff like, "Wow, I was expecting your message to be toxic." People need to be more respectful to each other and that goes for both killers and survivors. Period!
2 -
I hate when ppl are toxic with ppl who are clearly new in the game or just aren't very good. What even is the point? Like I can get teabagging or bragging if you faced a very strong player and somehow managed to win but when it's a killer that got very few or no hooks at all and had a hard time at loops...
My brother has started to play recently and he's mostly interested in playing killer, particularly the Legion and Ghostface. He has had very tough matches because matchmaking sucks right now (always has but now it's even worse), and I've also noticed he makes some mistakes because he has never played as survivor and doesn't think like one, thus failing miserably at predicting what survivors will do. That being said, he has faced quite a bunch of toxic survivors who kept going clicky clicky with their flashlights, or teabagging at every pallet, or waiting until the very last second to simply leave through the exit gates (waiting for him there so that they can teabag a bit more) and while I know the general tendency here is to be like "suck it up lol it's not that horrible grow some skin" ---why? Yeah surely no one is going to die from a little butt dancing but honestly idk why we can't be nicer as a community, specially with those that are clearly less skilled at the game and just want to have a fun time.

I got reported playing killer, wraith. I usually get 4ks but on this occasion I had to afk. So before I afked I wandered off into the killer basement cloaked. When I came back I had a survivor tbagging on me. I uncloaked and shook my aim at him. Swung once to get him to bail. I was on an important phone call and didn't want to get distracted by chase music and the like. (I would have left lobby but didn't want hate mail for leaving) but this dude didn't get the picture. Came back and tbagged more and more so once I got off the phone I went after him. I didnt tunnel him. I didnt face camp. They got all the gens done and opened the exit. His buddies left. But he didn't. Instead he tried to farm more points running circles around me at the exit gate so I downed and hooked him. Then I got hate mail from him and his 3 buddies about how "I'm so bad". They reported every message I sent in response to psn never swore. Never did anything of the like. Still got a warning. Said i tunneled him because of race or some kind of crap.

I love it, man!
Sadly, I simply block messaging (PS4) when I'm playing Killer (~30% of the time) b/c you just can't seem to "win". It's almost a Catch-22: perform well and get hate messages; perform badly and get more hate messages. It's like the Survivors want a Killer who tries but falls just short every trial. I do upvote and send sincere messages to that Killer/Survivor who is obviously new but doesn't give up. Like @BlindMole said, I do miss those wholesome interactions. Especially during these trying times. One positive interaction > one negative interaction. Without an influx of new players this game will die, probably faster than people realize. Maybe I'll switch messaging back on...

Let's just try to encourage less toxicity in the community overall. To players and devs.
I feel like a lot of squeaky wheels spend way too much time beating other players down.
Not to mention all the folks who talk to the devs like we've got them locked in a basement, and they get the hose again if our $50 game doesn't work 100% perfectly 100% of the time.
We're here to have fun and pretend to murder each other gaiz. Be nice to everyone dangit. D:<

Right?
I got heavily into killer during the quarantine blood rush. One game I got absolutely bullied by a red rank 4-man for 20 minutes.
They added me to their party after, (PS4) and it seemed like they were about to ######### talk to top it off. But i went in chill; "Hey guys, nice game. I got wrecked lol."
And next thing I know we've all been on comms for 15 minutes chatting, and playing different games.
I still play with them from time to time. Cool peeps.

One playstyle that survivors love but, as a killer main, hate, is living
Life is overrated don't ya think, like just let me kill you lol

People who do that usually are the ones that DC that's why I've said for months now teabagging needs to be banned it's doesn't mean anything. It doesn't mean your good. And people wonder why the queue times are so long because who wants to play killer when you have toxic survivors. Imo I feel dbd would be a much better game if toxicity was taken out of the game, but until then I warn you queue times are going to be long as hell. Until playing killer is fun nobody is going to do it except the already established killer mains

I notice these are ps4... Meanwhile on xbox you get told to ######### off or STFU.. I've always tried to make the effort of saying gg even when I die and get nothing but toxic replies.
On pc naturally no one ever replies unless they hit 30k or are salty for whatever reason..but the amount of times I've had killers ######### talk me there for being "swf trash" even though I play solo is beyond a joke... Honestly both sides are shitters and this community is becoming as toxic as smite but that probably has something to do with the fact the smite player base are moving to dbd UNFORTUNATELY

Goes to show that in both sides there aren't only monsters !
