How Do You Wish Console Killers Good Game?
Let's say I'm finishing a trial against a console killer that had a really tough game. Is there a way that I can convey "good game" to them without it coming across as toxic and making them feel worse? I feel like most things I could do as a survivor would make them feel bad (beckoning, pointing, crouching, nodding, etc.). The only thing I can really think of is dropping my item for them if I happen to have one, but even then I'm not sure how a killer would interpret that. If someone did that for me and maybe gave a quick crouch after I'd take that as them being friendly, but I'm not sure how most players would interpret that. I would also prefer not to make a habit of giving up items if I can avoid it!
I know how bad it can feel to lose badly as killer, so before crossplay I'd just try to be friendly and give them some encouragement in the post game chat. That's not an option when I'm playing against console killers, though, so I'm hoping to find a good way to get the message across in-game. This would of course apply for more competitive matches too, but I especially want to take care of the baby killers out there :)

I play on console a lot and usually I will leave my item with them (if they aren't actively attacking me) and then point at them before leaving, or I will sacrifice myself so that they can walk out with a few BP (but only when i know I did a good job and that dying won't effect my rank) I wish the chat function was available on console as well, but typing on an xbox takes awhile especially if it's more than just a 'gg' or 'wp' All in all, it's just nice to see that you care enough about their experience as well! Sorry I wasn't too helpful, but I'm sure the players appreciate you not being toxic and playing well :)!

In one case, where a Killer let a teammate who got caught in the rock glitch live and escape, we all sent him Friend Requests.

As far as I know you can only come over here and post to them if you think they might read the Forum. :)

it nice your trying to be friendly but sure most killer after bad games would interpret in a bad way imo anyways.
this maybe the best way or Friend Requests not sure on that tho most may not accepted how the killer feel at that time..

Console need a post match forum or something. When you rate players and the match, perhaps they should be able to see it. Give them a thumbs up or thumbs down.
I occasionally say well done to opponents but its a faff having to add profile and send a message each time.

You never truly kno the day to day psychological makeup of anyone, especially people you can’t see or hear who you’re interacting with thru a video game character from across the earth.
They could be in ANY kind of mood, and could be naturally, easily triggered by anything at all (cat’s meowing, sunshine, creaky doors, the smell of freshly cooked bacon... anything). So you can’t be certain they won’t respond angrily or be upset to how you try an convey affection through a video game character’s gestures.
I guess I don’t really kno what is most effective to communicate some love to the opponent w/o chat, since gestures can be misconstrued.
I believe devs will find a way for a post game chat; hope so anyway.
At least you care enough to to make this positive discussion. We all need more of this.
*nod’s in approval* 😉

In my survivor language, you are mostly correct except for the staying completely still. This is what I normally use as a way to show dominance, seeing as I do this when I'm on an open path and the killer spotted me. I.E. when deathslinger on the saloon map is just down the road and we have a western standoff(preferably with a flashlight as a gun.
