Playing cleanly gets you nowhere

Exactly. There will always be a person that doesn't agree with your playstyle even if you are the most angelic killer being in the game.

So...it's time that you decide for yourself what kind of playstyle you enjoy the most. Because your own opinion should be the only that matters here.

You can never make it right, so why even care?

Keep in mind this applies to both sides as well. Imo any build is fine. Earlier I lost a 4K to an obvious DS that I missed. I didn't rage that he was using DS. I sent him a message saying GG, he thanked me, said I did well. Pleasant.

Toxicity breed toxicity. Play whatever you want, just don't be rude about it.

You set the difficulty in every match as much as the other players do. If you go into a round with the intent to "play fair", don't be upset if the other side are going in to troll, they can't help not knowing you werent going to stomp them. If you wanted to win you should have gone into the match with the intent to win.

Its not up to the survivors to make the match last longer by not pumping out their objective, and its not up to the killers to cater to the survivor's happiness by trying to 3 hook everyone and give everyone a fair shot. Its entirely up to the developers to create an environment and match pacing that is conducive to both sides having a reasonable amount of fun, whatever the vision of that developers for that fun may be.

I too, have stopped judging killers for whatever action they take during matches....although moris are still a bit too much and deliberate BMing I still see as scummy. Like pretending you're gonna give hatch or exit gates only to betray and hook survivors.. I think thats in terrible taste and sadistic.

However, tunneling, camping and slugging are just sometimes completely necessary. Same with survivors blinding, hookbombing, finishing gens in your face. It's all fair game.

Play however you feel you have to to achieve your own goals for your own play session, so long as you don't cheat. Like I said, it's up to the developers to create the game experience they want players to have, not players to police themselves or others.

Playing perfectly by Survivor rules is a surefire way to lose. Survivors truly do have to be goofing around our make really bad mistakes to have the game not go their way if the survivor plays nice at all. Most survivors won't respect a killer who gives them an opening. They have 0 incentive to make the game more enjoyable for killers.

You have to try to catch people going for unhooks a little bit. You need to try to take out a survivor relatively quickly to maintain any sort of pressure to movie between gens, especially in SWF. This isn't sweaty even if many survivors will still act that way.

That said, you don't need to camp hooks. You don't have to always go for the person unhooked to get them out immediately. You don't need to ensure a 4k every single game. There's a healthy middle ground and toxic people on both sides will get angry regardless.

I mean, you don't have to play like a complete dick, but when opportunities fall into your lap, such as an unhooked survivor running right into you at a different tile, you take it.

There are only a few killers you can play 'cleanly' with . Hag, nurse, spirit. So basically killers with high mobility and great map coverage.

I main Clown. Unless the other side is 4 potatoes, no way in hell can you play clean. There's a reason some killers are bottom of the tier list.

I think survivors seem to forget (if that's the right word), 75 percent of killers can't cross from one side of the map to another and are better suited to proxy camp/ 3 gen defend.

No matter how you play, what you do, survivors will complain.

Even if one player left on a hook , rest of team all dead, and you're standing next to him, he'll call you a camper.

Camping, slugging and tunnelling all have their place in the game and survivors have perks that can counter these. Just remember the 45th rule in the survivors rule book:

"If the killer wins, it is their fault for being a bad killer"

and the 46th rule:

"If the killer loses, it is their fault for being a bad killer."

There's no real point to playing cleanly if you don't get anything out of it. Besides that everyone's gonna find something to get mad at regardless of whether your playing fairly or not. Like you could play fair the entire game and they complain about a perk they didn't even realized you had or something you didn't intentionally do but was mostly their fault. Such as them running around closely in a hooked survivors vicinity and your chasing them but then they claim it was camping. Unless your just playing cleanly because it doesn't feel right to play in a mean way, than more power to you but the survivors aren't gonna be any nicer.
