Is it worth playing fair in this game
I was playing a normal game with my friends on console and i was the first to be found by the oni in the game. I ran him for a while and then after he caught me and put me on the hook the oni camped me and shook his head at me for no reason. I didn't teabag him or point at him( mind you i hate being toxic) but people still felt the need to be toxic. I even try and limit myself to one meta perk in my build ( i know how unfair it is for killer for survivor to have all meta perks). Is it even worth being fair or nice in this game? Should i just be toxic like everyone else and run only meta perks?

I'm usually a nice gamer, but I beyond don't care in DBD. I've been a nice killer and have gotten cussed out. I've been a ruthless killer and have gotten cussed out. I've been a farming killer and have gotten cussed out. DBD is the definition of* "Someone will always be mad about what you do, so do you." Lol. Now, of course, you could follow your own sense of morality (as I think people should in all things?) and make your own decisions. Just don't expect everyone to think the same as you. Brush the dirt off your shoulder and move on. You'll enjoy DBD a lot frikkin' more.

Nah, it isn't. Survivors don't care much for killers and killers shouldn't care for survivors.
There's no reason to be toxic but there's no reason to be kind either.

Running full meta isn't toxic.
You can play "fair" but everyone has a different definition of fairness. One killer thinks it's fair to end a game in 3 Minutes if the survivors are potatoes, another killer will give them a chance to come back.
Being nice should be common courtesy. But the best thing is to stop caring what the other side thinks and move on. If you get camped, yeah happens, I just hope your swf group used the time to tunnel gens and get out.

Bring full meta but still don't be toxic.

Kindness breeds kindness and I'm of the opinion of if we all calmed the f*ck down for two seconds, realised that there's more important things in this game than trying to screw over each other, the game would be in a better place and we wouldn't have builds like the Second Chance Meta.

As Tru3Ta1ent said, "you can't beat toxicity in the game by being toxic."

Find your own style of playing like I did. I play dbd occasionally and therefore stay in middle ranks, going against potatoes and hard players evenly.
I play for bp and not kills by just playing normal aka no tunneling, camping or the like. I use only BBQ from the meta perks and the rest is mostly what I got on each killer, sometimes meta, sometimes garbage.
I go for 12 hooks but if they still didn't manage more than 1 gen when I get my 4th stack I ease up and start just drive-by hitting them so they may learn something without hard stress.
If they managed more than half of the gens, I go for my 4 stacks and as much bp as possible by hitting, grabbing, hooking, sometimes slugging and so on but I still try to not kill them without spreading the hooks evenly.
It much less stressful. I still get lobbies with 12 or more meta perks and enough ds, unbreakable and DH and more than enough GG ez. But I most of the time know I let them go and they can have their salt.
For endgame aka doors open and survivor butt dancing I recommended to search for hatch, break left over pallets or simply go get a drink. Either they butt dance out and think they made a sick dodge or want to show pity by giving one last hit.
Either way they want to satisfy their ego if they don't just leave and I don't care if they want to waste their time while I get points or do something rl.

You just got a douchebag Killer. I never play toxic unless I see a particurlar player in my lobby that I recognise...
Other than that I try to slug as few as possible, but as much as necessary. I don´t run NOED ( pretty useless perk anyway) or smol pp build. I do not BM and it has improved my overall experience with DBD, but that doesn´t mean there aren´t people out there that get off from their petty little actions.

It's situational to show mercy imo i won't camp or tunnel if i can afford to but if there are 3 gens gone and i only have 1 hook i'm going to use less fair tactics. But new survivors get a pass

I main survivor and I don't tbag or do anything rude unless provoked (killer has to do something first- if I recognize you from a different game where you were rude, or if you tunneled me relentlessly/camped or shook your head at me, etc) and even then it's fairly light. I know it's rough being a killer and hard not to take things personally so I just don't really try them like that unless I can FEEL they're an a-hole LOL
As for perk builds, run whatever tf you want. Killers can rag on survivors for the "smol pp" build all they want, but there's no denying that killers overall have more useful perks than survivors do. Whatever perk they pick, they're guaranteed to get usage out of it. A survivor isn't guaranteed anything except that they're probably gonna run into multiple tunnelers and campers during a night of DBD LOL

Only if you enjoy playing "fair"

I do a simple spell but its quite unbreakable. Leave the last one and karma goes up.

I learned a long time ago as killer, you can play "fair" in this game but toxic survivors will still curse you out in end game chat. Doesn't matter what you do or how you play. As killer I also run into sweaty SWFs nearly every game which completely breaks the game. I bring a mori anytime I see a SWF, even if its just a 2 man. I slaughter everyone and will tunnel and camp if I have to. Survivors brought this on themselves.
Also, I'm a solo que survivor main. I have many more hours on survivor than killer. As a survivor, if I die early I don't hang around to end game chat to have some ######### pre typed message ready for the killer and if I die in the end or survive, I say gg and move on to the next game. The ones that have nothing decent to say are the reason why I show no mercy when I play killer.

I mean, apparently there are killers out there who will tunnel and mori you simply based on your character or cosmetics which is insane lol. I've seen people say "I mori X character or people who use this certain skin", etc. If your teammates get out because the killer is too busy camping then that's a win in my eyes. They won't get many bloodpoints for camping the hook either, and probably only one kill so really it's their loss.

I try to be as fair as possible when I'm playing (especially killer) and try to make the match fun for everyone. It doesn't pay off in results of "winning" but it pays off in fun I would say - much better to have fun chases and a close game than staying still on a hook or forcing a 3v1 early. As survivor its abit more out of your hand on how the match plays but, regardless, not being a toxic piece of sh*t usually doesn't tilt other players into being toxic pieces of sh*t and feeding the hate circle.

Playing fair means not using cheats or exploits. So I'd say yes, you should always play fair.
It's okay to taunt your opponent but there's no need to go overboard. I wouldn't call being toxic unfair, though, just ######### behavior.
