Dear all TOXIC survivors...
I'm new to playing, and my favorite killer has to be the Wraith. Every time I play, people are looping, crouch-spamming me, and just being straight up rude when they message me. One guy said "That's what you get, looser." Because I killed him, then everyone started looping and crouch spamming because they all knew each other. Please, stop being so toxic to killers. Especially new people, like me. Thank you.

As a killer main you just need to learn to deal with it. Unfortunately. The toxicity continues throughout the community regardless of skill and it just warps to other phrases like "camping" or "tunneling" even when you earn 29-30k BP for the game.
Don't let it discourage you from the game, it's fun and while it can be a bit stressful don't let it bother you to much and just remember. It's a game in the end. Good luck hunting in the fog friend~!

The survivors don't know how long you've been playing the game, OR how new you are until after the match. Unlike killer, that can see survivor info prior to the match starting, survivors cannot see any killer details til later. We can';t read your mind to know that you're new or not until after. Sorry that this has been your experience, but its probably because the MMR is messed up currently and you are going against experienced players when you should be going against players that are not that good yet.

As a survivor main, all I can say is... yea we all are extremely toxic. I mean I’m rarely toxic but oh yea... you right.

Ngl, this is all apart of natural gameplay. You're gonna have to get used to it cause alot of players do it. Even I spam crouch to taunt the killer when I stun them because it's fun to me. Then again, the MMR was fricked up so you running into rank 1's as a rank 20 isnt anything new to us. Most I can say is mind game them. Trick them into thinking you're going around the pallet and double back. Outplay the players and bam, ez.

I experience toxic players on both sides....it has, in turn, also made me toxic. Your opponent (either survivor or killer) is literally trying to make your life miserable and win the game. Pretty straight forward. So now most of the time I approach each game like, "yup, ######### that dude." - can't lie. But you get cool survivors and killers from time to time that don't provoke toxicity - oh the faith in humanity. And let it be said, I even get toxic survivor team mates occasionally! Pretty much just try and get good and be self-reliant so you're not on the ######### end of the stick.

you will meet in the whole range of all ranks/mmr toxic people. survivors and killers. Thats a (negative) part of humankind.
if you want play dbd for longer then a few weeks you have to deal with it. toxicity are everywhere even in your own survivor group.
focus on the good things and if some one teabag/block or doing this "click click" with the flashlight try to ignore. most of the times they want to break your will to win. Just imagine some underage idiots that have 1 hour to play till dinner.
and if they are better then you: its a progress and no matter how good you are there is always someone who is better.
and remember: dbd map layouts are very random with spawns and jukes. its not always up to you.

Hopefully less people t-bag you. Though as a new player you need to understand two things about this game.
- Looping isn't being toxic. It's literally the only way people survive.
- Also no one knows your rank until after the game ends.

Just ignore the after game stupidity. People being bad sports is actually kind of funny when you think about it. It doesn't reflect on you, only them. As for the stuff inside the game, take advantage of it. I can't tell you how many times I've been able to catch a Survivor because they were tea-bagging or some other taunting nonsense. Also, I consider it a free pass to grab them, hook them, and stand there point blank and stare at them until they sac out. When people at the end decry me as a camper I simply say, "You disrespect me, I disrespect you." :) I can honestly say, that it doesn't happen that much. And for the record, I don't get upset about toxic play and crouch spamming when it is clear they are TRYING to lure me away from friends working Generators, healing buddies, or protecting someone that is one hook from death. That isn't being disrespectful; that is a good tactical call. You will learn to tell the difference.
I was in this really rough game with a disciplined team of Survivors at Cold Wind Farm. I was playing Michael Myers and carrying the Tombstone fragment. It is a hard map for Myers on a good day, but against a well-coordinated team it is a nightmare. Even so I think I kept them on their toes at least. We got to the endgame and both gates spammed near each other so I was able to run back and forth between them really fast. I was juiced up on my Obsession. I was in a good place to get at least two of them. A David, clearly knowing this, starting calling me out. He was standing right in one gate he managed to get open and was trying to pull me so the others could get away without me shooting back to the closed gate where the others two were.
The David had made the calculation that he was far enough away from me that he could make it out if I moved on him, and if I did the others would get their other gate open. He started using the pointing animations and various gestures and movements to make it clear he was challenging me. I watched him for a few times and waited until he initiated the point one more time and launched, at maximum stack. I caught him barely two steps further into the gate and did the Mori. At the end of the game he was a great sportsman, was clearly entertained and so was his entire team. In general, the better the players, the more mature they seem to get.
So what was the point of that story? Stick it out. Get better. Ignore the winging and whining or just plain immature crud. It thins out as you go along. And as you start to recognize people and play against them more often, it will turn from bad sportsmanship to simply "smack talk" where you all know who is joking and who isn't. Bragging rights, after all, is part of the fun of a PVP game.

Here is a thing you need to learn about toxic players.
Twice the Pride, Double the Fall.

None of that excuses insulting people in the chat after the game.

No it doesn't but the game does allow you to click on them at the end game and report them. Do it. System doesn't work if people don't use the reporting.

I agree, if someone is being abusive to you in chat then they're also probably abusing other people in other games. The only way to stop it is to report them.

Yea, the community can be super toxic at times, but honestly those few times you get a really chill killer/group of survs makes up for it. Some of my best and more entertaining games were against chill killers who ended up just messing about with us after the 2 randos DC'd (was duo'd with a friend).
Don't feed into the toxicity, try not to let it get to you. You'll come across the toxic 4 man flashlight brigade once in a while, and when you do, just know you're either going to have a rough game because they know how to loop and distract, or an awful time in post game chat because they don't, but think they do, and that's somehow your fault.

looping is not toxic btw its a strat to stay alive. tbag, fllashlight spam however...

It is to new players.

I agree that new players might percieve it this way. OP will come around eventually and accept it as an integral part of gameplay I hope.
Toxic messagin on the other hand is something the game has been plagued by for the longest time. The only advice I can give on that is to rise above it or just ignore it.
Be ready as you will encounter this quite a lot on your journey to becoming a good killer.
Welcome to DBD! I always enjoy seeing new people around. You should check out some content creators to give you some insights into the gameplay, this game is really rought at the beginning.

I always feel so sad when I see other Survivors tbagging or clicky-clicking at a new killer. I can deal with such behavior, but newbies just don't want to play anymore after this.
I always feel so sad when I face a killer who vaults the windows of an LT wall, since he's obviously new when he does that. Why bully a new player? Because you were bullied too when you were new?
I can only give you the advice and disable chat by clicking the speech bubble. Or instantly leave the after game lobby, if they bother you there.
Alternatively you can learn to deal with it.
Just ignore the tbaggers. Let karma get them. Maybe they'll get bored and make mistakes so you can get them and laugh in their face while they hang on the hook. Don't facecamp them as punishment. Camping and tunneling is only for the real bad people.
Stay fair, but play dirty when they do.

I'm not saying that there aren't toxic killers out there, I'm just saying that I'm just getting angry because of... well... t-bagging and stuff.

Also, do I seem like I'm a toxic killer? I'm new so I don't really know how to play. If I am being toxic, I don't know. However the survivors CLEARLY know they are being toxic.

I remember when I started playing a killer. First games was pretty fair, I was getting survivors of my own skill. We all were noobs. When I got to rank 15 I met good teams more fequently. They felt like they 10 ranks above me. Seems like there is a layer of survivors that don't belong on their ranks and they only trolling newer players. Once they get killer of their own skill they got stomped bacause they used to play against weaker opponents. I've seen videos of high rank killer get to rank 15 and get this cocky survivors that confident they get another noob and they all got destroyed so hard. Survivors like this can't troll at higher ranks, so they smurf back and give hell to killers like you.
When you get better and get to higher ranks you will get less toxicity. Their bs techniques only work against unaware killers. Once you learn how to avoid it, you will get to levels where no one doing an attempt to ######### with killer and actually playing to survive. Unless they accidently get bad performing killer in their lobby once again.
So what I trying to say. Learn some tips to counter their jukes and mindgames. I can give you some basic tips if you want.
And most importanty don't be offended by teabagging and clicking. It is not really bad manners, it is just their stupid funny noises they make to get your attention. Report if they get too much toxic in post game chat. You can punish them in-game but never be rude in post game chat. We all just playing a game here and trying to have fun, no need to be rude no matter what happen in the match.
