Do you ever play killer and there's a live streamer in your lobby...
You see, this maybe most of them would have, even Otz did, like me but I only see if it is live and then I see a replay to know that such a game from the survivor's perspective, but I want to know if you ever did this kind of trap to locate a survivor and the rest, for example this could be an anti-premades while someone transmits live and you are in difficulties. Have you ever done it?

Are you asking if I've stream sniped people?
No. That's super scummy.
I have however saved their Twitch name to try and watch the game from their PoV later on. Some mistakes are way more obvious when viewed from the Survivors perspective so its useful.

I tend to not even notice survivors in my lobby cos I normally create a lobby, ready up and then tab out and read stuff on my PC....so I only know by the end screen. Then it depends on the match, if they've outplayed me or I lost them in a chase or something, then I will check out their vod to see where I went wrong.
Would I stream snipe them though? No, I don't need to actively break Twitch rules to play a match.

If you mean streamsniping, I've never done so or wanted to do so. I just play normally honestly.
But I do like seeing matches from another player's perspective, no matter if it's me as killer vs them as survivor, or me as survivor vs them as killer. It's interesting to see your own gameplay from a different perspective after the match is over, unlike some games that have "replay" features with perspective-switching included it's the only way you'll get it in DBD.

I kinda do the same lol, I'll start a queue and just play on my phone until I hear a noise that Pyramid Head or Twins didn't make

I've never stream sniped a survivor, but I know a lot of killers do it, so it leaves me very unwilling to put my Twitch link in even just my Steam profile. I tend to make immersive plays fairly often rather than constantly staying around the killer looping, plus being hooked/slugged shows the aura of app my teammates which is rather unfair/inconvenient for them to be put through.

No. I never stream snipe.
However, I have been in matches with friends while they’re streaming to Twitch/YouTube.
During those matches, there’s a delay between the live stream broadcast and the game I’m playing. Whenever they talked into coms, I’d hear it on my iPhone stream 5-7 seconds later.
I guess it could be effective to locate players, but the delay might spoil the tactic.
Also, stream sniping is a pretty low form of cheating, and I’m 100% against cheating.

and how many times have you already loaded into the map without realising?
I only noticed one day when the gen popped :)

Agreed on the sniping part.
I do the same btw. I really enjoy watching games from the Surv POV afterwards

Dancing around the subject a bit there aren't you?
I would check their stream after the match to see from their perspective. This is true when playing survivor too not just killer.

Actually, I rarely pay attention. But I did recently have one game, where of course, I was accused of camping. I was playing Mikey, got lucky with a Hawkins map. So at the end game, I'm like "Dude whatever, I got it taped, no camping"
But when I looked at the suvivors, not the one texting me, I noticed one had TTV. So I popped over the next morning and found the game. And it was kinda of cool seeing myself playing the game. And, I told homeboy, the crybaby, to go over and watch it and you can see I did not camp, not that it matters.
Quote from the streamer, "Damn, this game is not going well." After watching me destroying the rest of his team across the map. Pretty funny tho.

It kinda makes me feel bad watching the games from streamer perspective after lol
Like I played as Pig with the best addons and some decent perks vs Tofu recently, but when I go and watch his perspective his teammates do literally nothing but die the entire game.

I do too. Its a good time. It also can be very entertaining watching them get super salty over something that was their fault.
1 -
Yes I love playing against streamers since they all get salty and cry about my perks even tho they are full swf bully squad only one streamer was really fun and cool don’t know his name any more but it was this gay guy cool dude

Once my headset wasn't playing headset audio and I didn't notice cause I was watching a video, I looked upwards and saw that the match started and I walked forward to see fireworks

I never stream snipe because I always dodge streamers. Not because of the "streamer bad" stereotype people have on here sometimes, but because it makes me really nervous knowing I'm being watched by outside people when I'm playing.

hahahahaha that sounds exactly like the stuff that happens to me! Glad I'm not the only one <3

I once got accused of stream sniping because i saw the streamer hiding in a locker with legion frenzy

Stream sniping is incredibly cringe. People are just trying to advertise their channel on a platform (twitch) that is awful for discoverability. Most streamers are just playing a normal game. People just get confirmation bias when they try to go out of their way to make a streamer's game miserable and then either get destroyed or the streamer rightfully gets a bit tilted.
I'm definitely not a bully, but I'm not exactly going to be complementary when someone brings a mori, obviously stream snipes me, gets ran for 5 gens and d/cs.

How would you know there is a steamer in your game?
Also what is stream sniping?

When I started playing DbD, I'd get excited when that happened and after the match, I'd check out their stream only to find out they're shittalking me for stream sniping and whatnot so now my feeling of excitement kinda turned into a bad feeling of getting shittalked behind my back.
I played against MORF_UK without even knowing but after a while I notice a ton of steam notifications of people leaving insulting comments on my steam profile. So I texted one of them only to find out that MORF actively promoted his viewers to head over to my profile and insult not just for my playstyle (I guess he was not happy that I 4k'd them) but also making fun of my look live on stream once he found my social media profiles.
He's also a fog whisperer - what a great example he is to promote the game!

This. Most of the people I have played vs that were streaming just trashed talked me the whole time with their SWF buddies. It made the 4ks feel even better. Nothing warms the heart like a 4 man SWF on coms getting salty.
