Survivor Mentality: “Oh yay, new chapter. I can’t wait to bully people trying to learn a new killer”
Seriously, stop being such jerks.
I just don’t get the whole “wE wAnT tO pUsH pEoPLe aWaY fRoM tHe gAmE!” behaviour of so many of you!

If you just wanna try the new killer, start a custom game dude.
People still wanna rank up. It's not their fault you dunno what you're doing.

I mean....why do you care? you are learning, you are bound to do poorly because you are trying to do different things during am atch, you are not playing to win, you are playing to learn and not nearly all of those things you try will work and the survivors show you what does not work and why it doesnt.
Really dont understand the mentality of killers being upset of "doing poorly" (or better yet, getting a bad score) in red ranks with a killer they literally just started playing with.
You can run around the map as Victor all day just figuring out how he moves, how he jumps, what he can and cannot do, you will lose some rank obviously and....who cares? rank is meaningless, it does not take or give anything.
Serious question, lets say a match start and you get called away, you come back and the match is over and you deranked a bit and got no points, will you be super upset? or will you just queue up for the next match?

Ah yes me and my zero friends and the copious Bloodpoints I get from custom games what a splendid idea!
18 -
I don’t have players I can do a custom with. It’s not my fault there isn’t a practice mode either.
14 -
I want to be able to practice SOMETHING at least. If the survivors are being merciless and the game is over in mere minutes, I’m not able to get a feel for anything.

Sure and those matches are pointless, nobody will have gotten anything out of it really, no score, no rank, no points and no fun, those happen, no different from players being afk, camping, tunneling, etc etc, often times games will be a waste of time sadly.
That said survivors dont always try to do gens as fast as possible, they are just fearful that you will hit them like a freighttrain so they feel the need to because often that will be the case.
But killer queues are fast af, just reqeue and try some stuff again, no big deal.

Not really true but ok go off sis

Running around as Victor practicing jumping on stuff. Survivors start making noise notifications. Okay, try to hook someone. Despite looking away get flashlight blinded because reasons. Go back to seeing how far Victor can pounce and ignoring all noise notifications.
I mean, flashlights are part of the game, and I'd get it if I were actually a threat, but... I obviously wasn't. Don't beg for my attention and then blind me, that's just rude.
I usually try to learn the basics of new killers while involving survivors as little as possible. I'm still not even a menace to trees yet as Huntress, no point in aiming at a moving target.

I mean, my first match as the Twins was against a 4 man that brought a flashlight, medkit, map, key. Where I only had the three teachables. Was slapped with the good old fashioned 'ggez' when they popped hatch.
That was funny. At the very least, though, I learned that Head On works against Victor. . .

Just get gud with the Killer my... 🤨

How are survivors bullying you?
2 -
Everybody unfortunately wants to face fun. Trolling killers can be fun to some.
I feel your pain though. I went for adept and only lost it because someone brought a key. 1 gen left. 1 dead, 1 downed, 1 hooked and he dead harded into hatch to escape.
1 -
then do me a favor and don´t start crying if they become good with a killer. Because if they become, then its all "killer is op" "no counterplay", and such. Really 2 different type of metric used here for killers and survivors.

Pretend you are not worried about your win/loss stats. Pretend you are not sponsored by some corporation where your livelihood is at stake if you lose games. Pretend you are here to learn the new killer because you are here to play the game because it is fun, and not because you are getting paid to do it.
Go into the game with every intention of losing the game, dont even TRY to win. DO NOT KICK A SINGLE GEN!!
Go play 20 games where your entire goal is to lose. the first 5 of these games you dont even hook anyone. If you do happen to down someone, dont leave them slugged, go pick them up and walk around with them and try to hit people as you carry them, for 5 games. Then, the next 5 games, never hook someone more than once.
If you do this, by the time you get to your 10th game, you will be having fun and learning the killer fairly quickly. But remember, dont even try to win until you reach game 21. Games 11-20? yeah, cool, if you accidentally win, cool, but dont try until game 21. Then what... those toxic players will not even matter to you. If they tea bag, if they loop, if they moonwalk, you just go about your day, pay them no mind...
"Yeah, but then I will lose my rank!!"
OK, then tryhard and dont complain that the survivors are doing the same. 98.3% of the survivors are here for the strict desire to make life hell for the killers. Why?!?! because their friend showed them a funny video of some ewe-t00ber doing it, and that is why the started playing! thats all they know what to do, you cant stop it, so, do your own thing and dont let them stop your learning because your pride gets in the way...
how can you possibly not have friends?!?! you seem like a decent enough guy...

Oh you'd be surprised most of my friends have quit dbd and the 3 that haven't im convinced secretly hate me

I ran NOED / Blood Warden and the add-on that shows the pounce location for a handful of games until I was comfortable enough with the power to move on to other perks and add-ons.
I think my second game as Twins I had some fool clicking a flashlight and teabagging at me at like 4 gens left. But they didn't have DS because they were playing the new character so the joke was on them; as they got tunneled and camped to death.
1 -
Did bloodwarden work properly in your game? Im curious, because in otz stream he got to use it but the survivor could pass through the gates like there wasn't anything blocking the gates at all.
0 -
Well, I also have experienced this a ton. It seems like players really want to bully the new killer, but the jokes are on them, and I just 4k every game with the new killer. For some reason I'd always have people following me around with their flashlights, and teabagging and clicking, which in any way resulted in them dying. I go and play some deathslinger, and the survivors are way more intimidated and don't even bother trying to do any of those things. I think it's mainly because they want to feel superior over a killer that is still learning, and if I'm gonna be honest the twins is a great killer if you are a fast learner. So hopefully sooner than later they will finally cut it out, but they are already starting to figure it out when nobody actually wants to play killer, and their que times are a million years.

Being toxic against them obviously isn't ok. But survivors are gonna play to their best ability. We need to learn how to play against the new killer too.
1 -
This is why bot private matches can't come sooner. I would just ADORE to play against bots so I can comfortably play Killer without being stressed out about gens.
But I guess in the meantime, we shouldn't worry about rank. After all, the lower the rank, the better.

Aww,sorry to hear that :(

Nah more like for me, I can’t wait to destroy survivors who aren’t used to the new killer
:]

If you want,we could practice a bit in KYF

I love my mental health lol

I've gotten REKT playing the Twins but I don’t care and neither should you. It’s a brand new killer we all have to get used to and if the survivors are good and you’re still learning the killer then you’ll most likely lose but that’s just the way it is.
Don’t get discouraged, I’ve gotten sweat squads as the new killer but I know I have nothing to prove to anyone and I’m still learning the killer. Let them have their way because they’ll just lose the next match at five gens when they get a double purple add-on Spirit with an ebony XD
1 -
Just remember, its only a game. Also try not to overuse the power if you really want to win. Build confidence with the knowledge you have of the killer. What do you think people did with blight when he first came out, people said he was terrible, and now he's arguably one of best additions to this game.
2 -
People will always say the new killer is weak. They said the same exact thing about Spirit, Deathslinger, and Pyramid Head and now look at them. All very good and all very hated to face.
3 -
Only reason I hate learning a new Killer in public matches is that I'm playing against good survivors when I'm bad at said killer, so it's harder to learn. Also, I'm "ruining" matches for the sake of learning, which doesn't feel nice. We REALLY need a training mode like on Mobile
0 -
I'm a survivor main and I don't have this mentality. I'm just trying to survive and I'm really sorry if thats toxic I guess.
2 -
How the hell does this have so many upvotes?
"Just do custom games to learn a killer." Is one of the worst arguments I've ever heard.
10 -
Sounds like someone needs a struggle snuggle! 🤗
Wait....come back. Why do they always run???
1 -
Who said I was running?
0 -
Yes be cause every survivor is out for blood. Ever think it's because you just arent good at twins yet so it feels like you are getting bullied. You have been making alot of whiny post recently you alright?
2 -
You aren't being toxic. In fact I can just imagine the outcry and the quotes of "Its not the killers responsibility to..." if the roles were reversed and it was a survivor complaining that killers weren't allowing them to practice their new perks. If the OP is talking about out and out toxicity, such as taunting and being an ass in the after chat, then i can understand it, but no real definition has been given here.
But no, simply playing normally against a new killer is not toxic. I wouldn't expect a killer to go easy on me simply because I was testing out a new survivors perks.
4 -
And "random strangers should go easy on me cuz it hurts my feelings" is a better one?
2 -
Same no wonder I have ######### up thoughts, thanks game

You're just feeling sensitive because you're frustrated that you can't punish people for mistakes and being a pain like you could with a killer you're good at. People aren't bullying you for playing a new killer, they'd be doing that either way.
I've been playing the new killer all morning & I've made mistakes and gotten frustrated at some points but it's whatever.
1 -
Running...towards me? Lol, come get your holiday huggles, snarky pants 🤣
0 -
So are you saying that survivors should not play as effectively when going against someone who is practicing a certain killer? Because you can't expect people to play purposefully worse just because they are going against someone who is bad with a killer.
1 -
Play better.
1 -
Pretty entitled imo. I'm not gonna play easy just because you queued to play with people and not bots. Since it's not possible then go get a kyf started and stop whining. I don't get it.
Don't play public matches and expect the opposite side to take it easy on you. They didn't queue up with the expectation that they would have to play at a lower quality so you could cope.
A lot of your posts recently are whiney as well, perhaps just get good and stop blaming the other side for you sucking dookie

Can't run a custom lobby with just 1 person boyo. smh

Any seasoned killer player should know the survivors are going to abuse the heck out of you in most cases if you are doing terrible.
It's kind of your own fault if you are doing what I saw many twins players doing, just jumping into purple/red rank games with like 1 perk and then getting stomped. I didn't play them at all until I had a full build ready.
1 -
I get where OP is coming from, let me just be clear though.
Winning, even if by a landslide, totally cool no issue that's on the killer player.
Tea-bagging a new killer every time they make a mistake and at the gate, insulting them post game, etc- is just going to make them swap back to Spirit or something next game and bring a mori or something in frustration.
I mean people upvote outright toxic comments sometimes too; upvotes don't mean something is correct or morally right, only that there are people that agree with it generally. Don't take stock in some number, focus on what is being said and why, and address it that way.

Idk what its like on other platforms but on xbox, you can just use the lfg feature and anytime there's new content, it's filled with posts of ppl just wanting to practice and test stuff out.
0 -
Lucky for Xbox players. Not for other platforms that play this game more than just the xbox base.
0 -
That's the key here for me.
We're not worried about folks being bad at a killer and losing matches - that's obvious and it should happen. But it's not just isolated folks being bad at a killer. I'm still a ######### Nurse, years later, and I don't expect folks to go easy on me.
But this is for everyone a new killer, soon to be chucked into the basement with many of the others. We're already steering back towards the meta, and being crappy about these matches just accelerates it.
And we can do that if we want to, but we're choosing the kind of killers we see in the future. By playing the way we do, we select the killers we get in the future. I'm not sure that we as a population are making the decisions this week that support the long-term health of the game.

The official discord and streamer discords will always have people looking to play custom games on every platform (now a pointless thing to say because crossplay exists but hey). There are steam groups out there who do the same. Don't be scared to ask around and actually look some things up.
0 -
Even so, players shouldn't have to rely on third party programs to be able to learn a new Killer. Have you considered this thought? Maybe the playerbase should stop being ######### dickheads.
