What's everyones opinion on "Friendly killers"?

When I first started, I would only do killer to complete a daily, and I would be friendly. Trying to get survivors to understand that was difficult.

Now, I play mostly killer. As mid-level, I encounter a LOT of toxic people. Usually, they are better ranked than me. Every night before logging off, I play a friendly match. I've never gotten hate from it and usually, if they are on the PC, they might chat briefly. Most of the time, I barely make blood points. I'm not the one farming. I let them get pallet or flash light stuns. I'll chase them for a while. I do get a hit in on them, but I don't down them or hook them. (There have been exactly two matches where the survivors actually wanted to help me get points and let me hook them, but as I said, that's only happened twice.)

I find ending the day, on an enjoyable, stress-free match, more satisfying then trying to kill everyone before they escape. Even if I am successful, it is still stressful.

I like it when they are funny but still play normally, like if they nod their heads at you.

depends on the type of friendly

like, not tunneling and giving hatch? thats cool

but farming? no, sitting in a queue for 5 mins just to farm is really boring (especially when im forced to farm)

I like unintended friendly killers.

I had a game against a Pig earlier tonight and they went to grab a survivor off a totem and the grab motion bugged them out, they couldnt pick any survivor up and had their arm up against their own head (as if carrying a survivor) for the rest of the game.

They could still hit so eventually the other survivors figured out we were farming (I kept getting downed, healed, downed again) and we all 'booped the snoot' and sacrificed ourselves to the EGC so it'd give the pig some hooks.

That kind of farming is OK in my eyes.

Also OK is when survivors disconnect or ragequit, farming with the killer (trading hooks, pallet stuns, grabs etc.) so everyone left can actually safety pip. When I get two early DCs and the killer decides to go full turbotryhard and everyone including the killer depips I just sigh.

I don't consider it friendly, I just consider it good sportsmanship and manners to occasionally let the last person escape. If a game is going well, and I know I've racked up a good number of points, I might as well. I don't do it if I see them behaving badly toward other survivors in match, though, and sometimes I get a little capricious and kill them all anyway. But some games, I just take the L because I don't follow anyone straight off the hook, I don't "proximity patrol," and I don't slug unless survivors are pulling ballsy moves and get in my way while injured.

Farming is something I don't do a ton, and if I do, I do it in as close a manner to normal game play as possible. I only hook each player twice, still do chases and the like, but I'll let them slap me with pallets and flashlight me.

It's a nice move from killers to be friendly when a survivor DC's at the start of the match, otherwise it's just boring

It's all about how they do it. You know, like service with a smile and that kinda thing. They tell you "My Pleasure" at the end of the match.

For myself, I try to be, if not friendly, than not an a-hole. I play killer for points and less seriously than Survivor, so if I can end a game early I won't because that doesn't favor me.

My usual philosophy is "plan to sweat, hope to screw around. " If I go into a match with a specific objective, be it a ritual, rift challenge, barbecue stacks, etc, I'll play seriously until I've got what I want. Then I'll play less hard and build up points. If someone d/c's or I see Bloody Party Steamers or anniversary cakes, I'm happy to go full farm and take advantage of that, or at least go out of my way not to go for the kill and let the survivors take away an extra 10k+ points.

Otherwise, I mostly just actively try to not be an a-hole. I won't tunnel off hook, though I will slug off hook (or trigger Borrowed Time) if the opportunity for the added pressure presents itself, I wait until I've got multiple people on death hook before going for the kill, and don't get super sweaty unless the Survivor team is going out of their way to be annoying.

I'm cool with it most of the time. I'm usually working on some kind of challenge. Some of which can be a real PITA. So I'm usually happy for the break. The problem can be when you are trying to do a challenge that actually requires the killer to hook a player and they refuse.

they didn't queue as killer just to deal with sweat pouring over the ######### matchmaking and get trolled by swf again, the problem with this game is each side can only think about the experience from it's own perspective. maybe that killer is tired of bs. maybe they justw ant some damn bp so they can get some decent perks and are tired of swf bs or the rainbow matchmaking. but either way their queue is only 40 seconds if not less so if you happen to be one of those that likes to troll and abuse the poor matchmaking theyc an always sit in the corner and give no interaction at all on a bad night and quickly jump into their next match afterward

I can teabag as ghostface to be funny, and it's always a good time if the survivors teabag back. However, I don't like it if they then go up to me later expecting me not to hit them. I still want to play as normally as possible

Fine for me. I rarely get a farming Killer, its a nice change of pace to get a farming Killer like every few months (which is the normal rate I see a Killer who just wants to farm (outside of double BP-Events)).

Because of long ques and dc penalty i will go out of my way to only be a shithead to people who farm and are friendly. Also not participating in regural gameplay is one reporting category so i will usually report them afterwards too. I play this game to have fun and if you make me waste 10-20 minutes for few fex extra bloodpoints in a match you deserve the toxic behaviour in my opinion.

I'll only go friendly if there's a DC and someone else dies super quick. I imagine it's not fun for people to come in and get 5000 blood points because someone dced early.
