Am I the only one with this mentality in DbD?
Idk If it's just me, but If I get salt in my end game chats, I know I played really well and performed decently.
Specially, when I get a ruthless/merciless killer, and they say I "camped" and "tunneled". There's no way you can get a nice score just by standing still near a hook, actually you lose points for that lol :).

i just have the mentality of i'll play nice but if i recognise you as a toxic player i will shove iri heads up your ass

I have endgame chat closed and my Steam profile public, so I can't get that type of stuff. My only rule during a game is: I'll play nice until you start acting like a rear-end. Then I'll show you what Laurie felt like in every sequel she was in and tunnel your ass as Myers.

For me if you piss me off I'll throw the game then literally walk into the hook and just look at you. Piss me off I'm making sure you don't pip

I'm relatively kinda the same. I play nice and fair until someone starts getting toxic.
0 -
Oh yes, the hook camp and their de-pip comes immediately after the tunneling. I just wish I could make my head tilt like Myers did after he stuck Bob to the wall. 😁
And since I don't care if I rank up or down, I'm willing to bet any de-pip or safety pip bothers them more than me.

I play fair until I do get hit with DS then it's game on
Or Deliverance/DS combo

In dbd I have the mentality of a lion. I do not concern myself with the opinion of the sheep.

Just curious but even when I play Killer there is never a single survivor that makes me feel like "this guy is toxic so I better face camp him" unless he is a blatant hacker (speed hacker + fake dead hard who still manages to get downed somehow). Yes there are hard games where it's multiple people who can loop well and use DS/Unbreakable/OoO but I still never feel the urge to face or even hover camp anyone unless both exits are open at end game with no idea where the other guys are.
More power to you guys though I guess on what is "toxic behavior" which is probably little more than someone tapping crouch, clicking flashlights or abusing something like Iron maiden locker screams?

I'm like that in a certain way. If I went after them right after the unhook (which is usually greed) and they DS me . . . okay, I asked for it.
But when I see them on a gen, do my job, and still get hit with DS? Okay, time for you to leave. I don't care that it's how BHVR designed it. Take your lack of a pip up with them.
For what is likely an asinine reason, that pisses me off.

Sometimes when I had played fair and very well hard Hill Billy the survivors criticized me for the many hours that I have, and I think good one doesn't become good at something without dedicating their time, they will criticize you for everything even for playing very well, then play like you want quietly

I've found that win or lose, survivors will be salty about something. Camping, tunneling, addons too strong, perks too strong, teammates sucked, console sucks, etc. I throw em a gg, wp, gl in your next match.
1 -
Same.

The best one is, to just hide the end-game-chat as killer. Most of the time, you only get toxic stuff. Does not matter how you explain why you did certain things, they are tilted and just want to insult someone.

At this point I don't mind the salt. Actually I enjoy reading it.
It's like a drug.

I don't enjoy the salt or profanity, but this is because I abhor bad sportsmanship. It really makes me feel less optimistic about people, and I prefer to be keep my "the glass is half full" mentality. So, while I'm not insulted by what they say or take it personal, I'm still annoyed by it because I like this hobby and believe the community is harmed by this sort of behavior.
I've found that the best way to shut it down is embrace it and say something like, "Yes! Let me taste the delicious salt of your tears!" Or, "Them are awful big words for dead folks; if I'm bad, what the heck are you?" All in all, it doesn't matter what you do, bad sports (Killer or Survivor) are going to act poorly and accuse you of anything they can think of to try and shift the blame of their loss.
Because that is what it really comes down to in the end. They aren't trying to convince you of anything; they are trying to lie to themselves about why they lost. All the crap they spew at us is really just personal affirmation, a parroting of any useful idea or notion by which they can hold on to the idea they don't suck. I think this is delusional and self-defeating.
When I get curb-stomped, I admit it. If I am outplayed, what point is there is trying to lie to myself about it. What point is there in hurling impotent accusations at others? Even when I get outplayed by bad sports, I'm going to own up to it. I was in a game at Lerys the other day. Went up against a group that were just incredible. Normally, I rock that map but they taught me I have a long way to go. At the end, one of the group (the only Console Player) stood at the gate and Tea-Bagged and did all sorts of strutting. I even gave that person props for the awesome play, but I also asked him if the tea-bagging was really necessary.

I'll leave you salt if you play Spirit or Freddy or you are a first hook mori kind of player. They are gross, people that play them are gross. When I play killer I will just reciprocate.
0 -
Does rank make a difference? I don't really get salt but I also haven't broken yellow rank for Killer yet. Are the salty tears more prevalent once you hit red/purple ranks? 🧂😭
0 -
Usually, salty survivors are red or purple ranks.
Entitled people I guess.

You know, if you leave salt to the kind of players like me, we are just going to have even more fun lol.

It only ever happened to me once, and so I only ever did it once.
It was a Steve (Isn't it always a Steve? Maybe Dwight sometimes) who was extraordinarily obnoxious about his t-bagging.
Like, I have a sense of humor, I don't mind rubbing it in to each other now and then. However, whereas most T-baggers do a "one and a two and a three" t-bag such that its about 0.5 second intervals and they usually t-bag twice and move on, they also don't do it at every opportunity. However, this Steve, my god...
First of all, his T-bag is like a rapid-fire machinegun T-bag like 5 per second. He will literally T-bag at every single vault until I vault or turn around and approach. He would not move until the last second to really rub it in.
He will stun and keep T-bagging, he will flash light then keep t-bagging. He was completely asking for it.
So finally, I downed him. I hooked him. I face camp the hell out of him.
His friends come, I angle around to make sure I hit only Steve and not the unhooker, and count half a second to wait for the invincibility frame.
He's downed, his friend runs off.
I stood there staring at him and counted to 60, striking anyone who approaches without chasing them. I picked him up, hooked him again.
Second time, they got smarter and brought BT. I chased him down and downed him again. Once more, I counted to 60 before hooking him. At this point it was already EGC, so his allies bailed on him as he died on hook.

You're not alone, although I'm the survivor in this scenario. When I get tunneled or camped in a game I don't tend to get mad and complain like certain others. I take being the center of attention as a compliment. Ie if the Killer is focusing on me and only me it must be because I'm a threat.
0 -
My mentality is to play to win as Killer; any salt just seasons my experience.
As Survivor, I literally only 3-4 stack SWF and f**k around. I have a really low escape number because I never try.
0 -
Actually, it's the other way around.
As killer, if you focus too much on survivors who are a threat, you are just going to lose. You'll waste time looping, and you'll lose gen pressure. That just depicts that the killer doesn't know when you drop a chase.
I always try to chase the weaker survivors first, because they will go down easily, and I'll gain more pressure.
Also, usually if I ignore cocky survivors who are gods at looping, they'll try to get my attention even more, hence, losing gen time. Which is only good for me.
2 -
Exactly what I do.
I remember when I was starting as Killer and learning those mind games as I ranked up the first time. I would go after the t-bagging or clicky-clicky survivor every time. And I would be looped to hell and back as their buddies popped the gens.
I learned to let 'em stew. Go after the ones they don't want you going after, there's a reason for it. And almost like clockwork, as you're chasing that weaker link, there they are trying to body-block or flashlight you or whatever to get your attention so you don't down that other one.
That's two not working on gens. I am pleased.
1 -
Exactly buddy, I know you see my points very clearly.
When we started playing killer, I think that everybody did that mistake. Chasing cocky survivors, and letting others do gens.
But if you chase the ones that are bad at looping it's so huge because you are getting them nervous, making more mistakes...etc.
There are some people who just know how to be sneaky and click M1. If you get them, they are usually free downs.
0 -
Yes. And that keeps your pressure on as they inevitably go for the saves and heals. And they're going to heal, because that non-looper sure as hell doesn't want to remain one hit away from another hook.
0 -
I understand what you mean, although I wouldn't put myself as "The weakest link, " but not as the best player either.
In about 9/10 of the scenarios where I'm tunneled and camped it's because I looped the Killer for 3, 4 even 5 gens. Not straight out the gate.
0 -
Then you were facing off killers that didn't know when to drop a chase. And when to ignore good loopers.

I just love the Laurie and Myers sequels analogy 😁

'when I get a ruthless/merciless killer, and they say I "camped" and "tunneled" ' ... Do you camp and tunnel often as a survivor? If so... how does one camp and tunnel the killer? As a poop-survivor, I would love to know how you do this.
0 -
I respectfully disagree, it's true to a certain extent not every killer I go up against deserves they're red rank. However there are others I come across that wipe the floor with they're enemies. Despite the fact I lose I still have no problem holding my own against them. Dosent stop them camping or tunneling though.
BTW should probably put it out there I'm not against Tunneling or camping lmao.

Eh I just ignore the salt and obnoxious in game behaviour. We all know that one person who is no fun to game with, well you get them from time to time in online games. This includes the salt tantrum sore loser crowd and the gg ez bad winner crowd, these people are typically one and the same. Often it makes me laugh more than anything else because after all its only a game.
