A MESSAGE TO ALL THE SWEATLORDS AND LADIES OF THE LAND

it depends. once im rank 1, i stop caring so much about the 4k because there’s no point.

but at the start of the month when im going back to rank 1. anything is fair game

Purposefully holding back is annoying and boring. Playing well and challenging myself is fun. That doesn't mean running OP tryhard builds all the time is fun though.

You realize try-hards are all across the spectrum, right? If anything, I see more sweaty survivors than killers.

If I ever reach rank 1. I doubt it because I'm not that amazing at the game, once I reached it and got the achievement for it I wouldn't care anymore. I don't need to sit at a rank to prove anything. getting back there shouldn't matter.

If winning isn't important, there shouldn't be ranks. But, there are ranks. So winning is important.

First off everyone has a different definition of "fun".

Some purposefully try to piss people off and hide behind "it's just a game" as an excuse for cruddy behavior.

Some want total domination.

Some want a close game where both sides try their best.

Some are just out for themselves.

But no one enjoys losing everytime despite trying their best. Winning is (usually) fun because it means you beat the opponent and it makes you feel good.

Maybe there should be 2 different lobbies casual and competition??

Actually killer are very smug about winning tbh when I was playing camping was a big problem and they get smug about it don't generalize. If u wanna play chill play chill if you are going against toxic survivors be toxic back to them it's that simple.

Yep

It's not the hatch escape that they're complaining about--it's that killers will slug and leave someone on the ground for 3 minutes to bleed out while they search for the other survivor. That's not fun. Just hook the survivor and race to the hatch.

I love the game. I have fun winning and losing. Me and my people actually have more fun losing do to funny ways it goes down. I don't get all the crying. No fun don't play. It's that simple

Only reason to play anything is to win. otherwise every game should just be a draw then I'm sure no1 would play. Does any1 truly go out buy a game and go I don't want to win I'm just buying it because it will be fun to never win sadly that is what losers always say it's about having fun and taking part pfff there only saying that as they have a win rate of 1% winners have best fun when they win simple enough. So what if a guy camps slugs or tunnels or survivor do gens in no time or loop for days that's how they have fun that's how they have fun just because u don't enjoy the match doesn't mean they don't. that's problem with gamers these days always feel like there owed some free pass because they playing poor or that simply the opponent is better should be less moaning about getting wooped and try get better but thought u said it about having fun well sadly other players don't play for there opponents to have fun they play to enjoy it so if that's how someone plays that's what they enjoy even if they disagree with the tactic they use to win there enjoyment comes from the win

Speaking from a low ranker,

I think it's fair to note that most killers will be upset if they get 0 kills and no close calls. That said, you can still make your own fun regardless of whether or not you get a kill or survive, without having to have to have a perfect team escape or the like.

My fun recent moments is chasing a yellow shirted surv who hit me with too many pallets and took long, long loops through the center snow cabin. I was Pig. When I finally caught him, oh he wasn't going to get away! I hooked him and the other survs soon after completed the gens. I didn't care. I camped. In spite of it two other survs came by, I picked them up from the hook and just dropped them next to me. We all watched yellow perish on the hook together. Good times. Technically I only had beef with yellow, but the end game was too close to finishing so I couldn't pick up and let the surv shake free in time. Unfortunate, but that's ok, I got my mark.

Another fun one was playing Legion for like the first or second time, against surv newbs. I frenzies like three of them but they kept looping me in a small house. They all downed themselves at the same time for not healing Deep Wound status. Good times. Good times.

While some of these are rare situations, I find the fun times are when the killer is hunting me down and I manage a close escape, or when I finally down and hook like 1 surv at the end game. Bonus if it's in the basement. It's fun to camp then and dare the other survs to try to make a rescue. Thing like this bc the stakes are higher make for some more memorable moments. Sometimes they get away, or sometimes my 1 hook becomes 3. This may all be lower levels of play, how to being back the magic at high level, idk. I guess NOED brings the risk, but survs may just chicken out then. Maybe more incentive like double points at the end?

I found a good balance- killer or survivor I teeter between rank 14-10 and don't sweat hard enough to surpass that general play area- I keep my perks comfortable but not OP- even if it bites me in the ass I'll usually just slug the first survivor I down or on the flip side as a survivor I'll focus on gens OR helping teammates but won't sweat hard enough to be everywhere at once lol

Sweatlord/lady kinda lost it's meaning.

I've been called out for sweating with my fire up/brutal strength/bamboozle Legion. Some people call anything that's not purpossally losing sweating nowadays

Oh I thought it was the other way around. Toxic killers are created by toxic survivors.

It could be just a chicken and a egg thing though.

We'll never get the answer
