Do people genuinely get upset at BM?
I see a lot of threads complaining about tbagging, clicking etc. Do people genuinely get mad at those?
It doesn't affect your gameplay at all while you are playing killer, it's literally just someone pressing ctrl/m2 with no impact on the gameplay.
If anything to me getting bmed is funny because i already know i'm gonna down them in like 10s max. Why do people get upset and BM?

Yes, they do. I hope they feel ridiculous about it later on once the emotions wash away.
Silly excuses for moral victories during losses seems to be a more accurate interpretation of those conversations.

When I first started playing the game, sure - It upset me. At this point, not really. I've seen a survivor spam flashlight at me too many times to even care.

How you cannot see it after a sentence like that is beyond me.
The point is obviously not the muppets who BM and then get punished for their own stupidity, its those who taunt you while you cant do anything about it.
I wonder how much you would enjoy being slugged and a killer just headbanging over you and just wait for you to bleed out

On the forums? Oh hell yeah they do. Personally I don't care about it in the slightest. It's so tame and inoffensive compared to anything else I've seen people do or say in other online games. I also think it's mad funny seeing a teenager click a flashlight at a serial killer who's trying to sacrifice them to an all-knowing tentacle god in the sky.

BM is particularity obnoxious if the survivor in question knows how to loop effectively, if they click that flashlight and t-bag at the killer's expense, it become humiliating and demoralizing, and often the killer will tunnel the survivor in question, leading the the survivor then yelling at them for tunneling, making the killer feel even worse.
it's nothing but pure toxicity, and it ruins the fun for killer players.

I'm extremely confident in my killer gameplay, I haven't had a match where I thought "I did the best I could and I still felt powerless" in a long time.
Also I was trying to talk about getting BM'ed as killer being "tilting" despite it not affecting your gameplay. As survivor it's another story, because the killer has the power of making the match extremely unenjoyable for you.

They get upset at BMing because unlike other games, DbD is much more unbalanced which makes things a little more frustrating than your average game. Good killers will know that BMing them will only help them catch up faster, but in maps where that is very survivor sided such as Haddonfield or Ormond it doesn't matter if the survivors know what they are doing and are running strong perks. BMing can either make you upset or it won't, usually it does. Most of the time it does actually. But the reason is because the killers feel helpless. It becomes more frustrating especially if survivors bring a good map offering and good perks on top of that.

I don't see how getting outplayed ruins fun, sounds like the survivor is just better than the killer in that situation to me, also the killer isn't forced to tunnel, they choose to, you can simply not mind someone BM'ing you and play normally.

You answered your own question right there.
People that get upset about BM usually do not manage to down the cheeky bugger in "like 10s max" because they're either learning a (new) killer or quite simply not experienced enough to catch the BM-ing survivor.
No one will ever get upset about BM if they know they'll win. People get upset because they feel like they're getting stomped AND bm'd at the same time.

Idk about you but I find headbanging killers to be hilarious. And if they wanna BM like that after I ran them around for 12 gens' worth and they want to slug me on the floor like that, I've won at that point.

It's less of because they're getting outplayed, it's more of because they don't know how to counter it, if someone is constantly running a new killer around an LT wall, how is the killer supposed to learn anything from that? Are they just supposed to understand how to do it off the bat?
It's not about outplaying, because the killer doesn't know how how to outplay the survivor in the first place.

no, nobody gets upset over BM, it was all an elaborate rouse to have people think that BM is... bad, but you unmasked our plan :(

Nice mitigating circumstances you have created for yourself, but the scenario is: 1 gen is done, everyone is dead, the hatch is closed, you are slugged, enjoy
And now lets do that about 3 matches in a row

Yes, the killer is supposed to learn something from that, with practice comes improvement, you aren't supposed to know how to do something properly when you do it for the first time, but no matter what side you're playing, you can learn something from every chase.

I am sorry, I should've kept my mouth shut. :(

That's a nice scenario you created too, but that almost never happens either. Even if it did happen I wouldn't care, because I'm not that sensitive to things that a stranger does to me in a videogame that me and everyone else will forget about in 5 minutes.

I only get upset at the game cucking me over or getting DS'd when I didn't tunnel. Normally, BM to me is just met with "yeah yeah, I'm coming"

What you’re essentially asking is, “do people who are new at something really get annoyed when they’re taunted by others for their lack of experience?”
People who complain about BM are usually newer players, and they get annoyed by it because they feel powerless to stop it. Do you think anyone really cares about the guy who teabags before getting downed? Or do you think it’s more likely that it’s an experienced survivor who can’t be easily caught BMing a less experienced killer who has no idea how to catch them?
Say you went ice skating for the first time. Would you be annoyed if everyone else on the rink pointed and laughed at you when you inevitably slipped and fell? Do you think it might make you feel a bit bad, and like those people were unnecessarily rude?

I don't get upset about clicking. That is just part of the game. I consider Tea-Bagging very bad manners and part of unsporting behavior. It is no different from someone flipping you the bird while playing Tennis, or grabbing their crotch and making the gesture that says eat this jerk. Does it do me any damage? No. It is, however, detrimental to the community on the whole, and thus indirectly hurts us all. Bad sportsmanship is not something to be ignored, condoned, or engaged in. The same people who Tea-Bag often engage in after match chatter which is full of foul language, hate speech, and so on. *Mind you not all Tea-Baggers do, but it is certainly a healthy number. At least I can report them for that. My own view is the followings:
- Don't cheat, either with hacks or lag spikes.
- Don't disconnect; if you start a game, finish it.
- Be humble in victory and gracious in defeat.
Engaging in foul behaviors in the real world (sports or games) gets you ejected, and for good reason. Games are made up of groups of people and being respectful is the bare minimum we should expect from each other.

If you say so.

Yeah, I certainly do
and I know I shouldn't. It's stupid that I let that ######### get under my skin like that and downright embarrassing how many keyboards I've replaced because some ######### sat there t-bagging after I had such a sucky match. I've considered quitting this game on multiple occasions; not because of bugs or balance or issues but because I got so pissed off and deflated after my fourth game in a row filled with ######### mocking me the entire time that I had no desire to want to play the game again.
It's annoying too because I know those ######### don't care that they're ruining the experience of the game for so many players. BHVR is the one that pays the price (since if I'm not playing anymore, I'm not buying DLC or Cosmetics or Rift Passes anymore) while they just skip along getting joy off of making others miserable.

They are better things to get upset, DbD is like so low on there. Do I have to care for someone crouching in front of me just to ''taunt me'' like really? ppl need to stop being a snowflake 'bout those things
1 -
Because sometimes the game isn't going well because I can never find anyone or something, half my fault half theirs sometimes, and I get mad when survs taunt me. Not getting mad at you and Im not trying to turn into a soyjak face arguing, its just sometimes I get upset and feel helpless in the power roll.
0 -
I could not care less honestly. I don't believe it is very sportsman like, nor do I think we should promote it.
However if I am getting Tbagged, it is most likely because I am destroying and it is like their last shriek before total defeat.
I don't see any in game actions as severe as some do. Hit me on the hook, tbag, click, shake your head when you down me. It all says more about "you" then it will ever say about me.

i like it when they bm, it means they lost distance they otherwise would have gained if they just ran right away, especially after they stun me it pretty much negates the stun.
If they FL spam they are wasting their own time, better than them being on a gen. If you go after them they also don't have as much distance then if they ran right away.
toxic behaviour gives the killer an advantage just let them do it they aren't playing optimal and it doesn't affect how well your doing other then if you lose your cool easily and start messing up but that's on you then.
