Survivors, why don't you like meme builds?

4 matches back to back, 4k against my mini ghostface where my only purpose was to have fun.

You survivor mains really are something else, death threats for playing mini face? Really? ttv players are also the worse since they also start with their toxicity, like really?

What is wrong with you people? So in order for survivors to have fun I have to play normal? No memes? I'm supposed to sweat every game?

    That does make sense tbh I guess mad grit, iron grasp, agitation and bbq with the 2 speedy crouchy addons is too much and probably feels bad to lose to.

    This month I played Survivor more than Killer. Main build is Window Oppo, Lithe to help me with chase, Kindred & Small game to help the team.

    Sometime I use meme build as Leader, Prove thyself, Streetwise, Openhand. Or full aura reading perk Aftercare, Wakeup, Live forever..

    And I was able to claim from rank 13 to 5...while die most of the match.

    Mini ghostface is just double crouching speedy addons, perks are your choice, you basically crouch the whole game and just play like that.

    And I found it funny when I played against it a while ago, just imagine a crouching ghostface following you.

    Just feels like the scary movie ghostface instead of the scream one.

    Thanks for explaining what it is. Not sure how much I'd enjoy facing it myself, but I also run Spine Chill. Usually I enjoy my matches vs him and often die cause I want to goof off with him. I was doing Head On plays tonight and some killers seemed to really get pissed with it. One match the Killer had Iron Maiden and I played in the lockers often. She had 0 chill, even when others came and joined my screaming locker hopping antics. People are kill joys.

    Ghostface was one that I mained for awhile. Whoever I spared typically would get in teabagging parties with me. If I spared a whole team or had a whole team stomp me but goof off in the end... those were actually a little special having 4 people teabagging with you in first person. Kind of intimidating since they can REALLY get in your face.

    Mini Ghostface is a normal Ghostface game, but you stack the crouch speed add-ons as well as optionally PWYF, and do the match permanently crouched. No, it's not toxic or unfun, unless you consider Ghostface with no recharge add-ons OP. In which case, you are the problem.

    And this is just anecdotal, but in my (both sides) experience, survivors are significantly more aggressive and "toxic" than killers when they lose. I'm sure a lot of people would share this experience. I've received, like, one or two killer hatemails. Ever. Survivor hatemail I get constantly, and no, it's not because I camp or tunnel or play unfairly. I've gotten hatemail as Burger King Myers twice. That illustrates a problem.

    Sounds like you were blessed by Matchmaking and got ez matches? Even no DS. So they were not even using the Meta.

    Death threats are reportable and a totally different matter.

    not every survivor player is the same. I have never seen death threats by survivors ever, not in my killer matches and not in my survivor matches (mostly solo or 2 man swf). And I play a ton and sometimes (mostly for specific challenges or achievements) I even played super scummy. Still. Nothing worse to what killers have thrown at me. It’s more like there are those kind of players on both sides.

    Solo survivor here at red ranks and who uses TTV on their name because I'm a small streamer.

    Never teabagged unless I was facecamped and escaped. TTV didn't add toxicity to my actions, ever. I know it's edgy to say TtV bAd but I honestly rarely encounter toxic streamers. Someone live streaming has nothing to do if they're toxic or not.

    Why would I meme in red ranks when most killers who ended up there because they tunnel/proxy camp all day? I know it's easy to get BP as killer even if you meme, but if I try to meme just to get killed anyway and end up with crappy BP, why would I?

    "What is wrong with you people" for not making my game fun and enjoyable and letting me get an ez 4k? smh.

    Not complaining about MM, for some reason I assumed I was being paired against new players, that is how bad they were playing.

    It was an easy 4k, with a meme build..... It was fun but sour since survivors tend to be really aggressive and threaten.

    You can meme if you want to, if you chose not to it's up to you.

  • Marigoria
    Marigoria Member Posts: 6,090

    Trust me, I'd rather meme a lot of times, but most of those times, the killer is just in the mentality that everyone is a toxic swf and just goes hard and leaves no one any time to meme.

  • MadLordJack

    To be fair, a lot of meme builds are toxic AF, or end up being toxic AF, or could be misconstrued as being toxic AF. Not saying that's what happened here, but... Toxic Ghostface, Basement Bubba, Chest Defender Bubba, Basement Demo, any megaslug build, BK Myers often ends up camping and tunneling... Not sure what any of this has to do with your specific instance of meme, but it does help answer the extremely broad question you asked

  • Mooks

    Not saying you were complaining about it but it sounds like the survs would have reason to complain about it.

    (and so should you, if you really felt like you were matched with survs so far off your skill level that you assumed they were new players)


    i really really hope MMR will work this time, because it would at least lessen the amount of people crying this is OP or that is OP when in fact all that was wrong was the matchmaking..

    I don't get the point of these threads.

    You realize there are toxic people on both sides, right? You and I can cry all we want but we can't control how others react.

    Rule number 1 of DBD. Never try to appease the other side, just have fun of your own, you are not anyone's babysitter.

    I love meme builds, but they're not always obvious to spot.

    I mean something like backpack Demogorgon is fairly easy to figure out, but other stuff like Crouch Face is a bit tougher to understand. Sometimes, I just assume that they're a new Killer that doesn't realise what crouch does or something.

    I'm not advocating toxicity, but the root of the problem was not the fact that you were using a meme build. It was just their bad attitudes.

  • OldHunterLight
    OldHunterLight Member Posts: 3,001

    Oh I may have misunderstood you I apologize,

    I also don't get that swf mentality the "everyone swf" blah blah, maybe that is just me.

    These are the things that made me feel like they were new, when running they never turn around, threw pallets when I was far away from them, fast jump into a locker.

    Hopefully the mmr is not like the first one.

    I just hate people threatening others because of a game, like oh man you outplayed me!!! I will kill you!!!! that is just a big no from me or saying stuff like ######### and stuff.

  • OldHunterLight
    OldHunterLight Member Posts: 3,001

    I understand that, I was just basically wasting my 4th year cakes so what better way to waste them than memeing around.

    But honestly I have never encountered a toxic ghostface as far as I remember or maybe I didn't noticed? Basement bubba? Like facecamping bubba and stuff?

  • MadLordJack
    MadLordJack Member Posts: 8,814

    Toxic Ghostface is my fav meme because it sounds super ######### but it's actually when you just constantly t-bag. I bind crouch to a macro.

    And yeah, Basement Bubba is the classic insidious Bubba. Its easy to confuse it with Chest Defender because they often look the same, or occasionally end up being the same of the bubba in question is a bit salty.

  • OldHunterLight
    OldHunterLight Member Posts: 3,001

    I thought macro teabag on ghostface didn't actually did the full animation, but good to know how they look and do.

    I haven't seen a facecamping bubba in a long time and I have never seen a chest defender bubba personally.

    I disagree massively with this statement about survivors not enjoying meme builds.

    Both sides just want to be sweaty sometimes.

    I laugh at people who send death threats. People just being pathetic because their lives are worthless lol

  • MadLordJack
    MadLordJack Member Posts: 8,814

    It doesn't, I had to set my macro to 0.4 seconds. And it is LOUD.
