Toxicity
I just want to point out some toxic moments I've encountered so far. I've spent 60~ hours playing DBD and reached survival rank 4 and killer 10 and I know I have to learn a lot more about DBD. I noticed that at higher ranks people are way too toxic. I know there are some other communities that are worse but still DBD is quite toxic. I'm gonna be really short -
Playing as killer:
First of all I neither camp nor tunnel (even if I encounter SWF). Every game that I've won so far (talking about 3k/4k), starting at rank 11-12, players were calling me either noob for using certain perks or tunneler because I accidently run into certain player twice or maybe three times in a row. It's just a bad luck mate. Some of them even called me camper because I was chasing other survivor around hooked player. What do you want me to do? Run away and let you unhook and heal each other? I think not since the killer's goal is to kill all the survivors right? They should thank the player who got chased. If he'd run away I would go after him and would leave hooked player so others could rescue him. I could talk more but ok let it be.
Playing as survivor:
Killer is not the problem but teammates are. Recently I had a game where I played real good. Finished 3 gens, unhooked 3 players, escaped few chases, distract killer few times and cleansed hex totem. In the end we were 2 and the other teammate was in dying state and camped by the killer (probably left him there as a bait). I was injured without med-kit/self care and I could've just let him die there open the door and escape. But I didn't because I feel bad leaving a teammate like that behind. So I went there to face the killer and he started chasing me and in the end I nearly got to him to save him but unfortunately killer's weapon reached me right before I'd save that guy (sometimes sh*t happens right?). Of course we lost in the end. Anyhow after match that guy started calling me what a f***ing noob I am using urban evasion perk, not doing anything all the match, learn to play, I hope you die etc. Oh did I mention? He was rank 1. I'm telling you these high ranked players are way too toxic. Could tell you few more stories but ok let it be.
Usually all these tryhard salty toxic players leave a nice comment on steam. I really don't care about comments. I simply read them then smile and delete them :) In general this is how I deal with these players - IGNORE them and move on ;)
So dear fellow survivors and killers, just try to enjoy the game because nobody is perfect and it's just a game, nothing else. We are all human, therefore we all make mistakes ;)
Have a nice day o/

Hyperbolic anecdotal post. Toxic players exist at every level. And also: rank is irrelevant. How so? I was a rank 1 killer for 2.5 years - I am now rank 16 because I rarely play killer any more.
Look at your example: You have 60 hours in the game and are a rank 10 killer. What does that mean? I have WAY more than 60 hours in this game and probably 15 times as much as your total in just playing killer, but I am rank 16. I have never been toxic as a killer - not once. I probably spent 600 hours as a red rank killer and never called anyone a name in end game chat, never tunneled, never camped, etc etc.
Making broad generalizations based on an arbitrary thing like rank is just silly. Toxic people don't become toxic because of their rank.

I find toxicity comes from all levels and both sides. I do agree that as survivor, usually your team mates are way more toxic to you than the killer, both in game and in end game chat.
Solution? Just play swf.

Here's the thing with this game, no matter how you play, someone will always have a problem with it. Granted, if you're a hardcore tunneler or hardcore camper you can expect more salt than usual but at the end of the day it's a game. If someone wants to get all salty because you don't play the way they want you to, then the simple solution is to just laugh at how bothered they are and then carry on with your day.
Never argue with people on this game because even if you're right, people will never believe you are.

That’s not what the OP means. They naively (yet sweetly) expected players that have finally reached Rank 1 to have developed more decorum by that stage.

I'm not saying that everyone is like that and that it's all about rank how people behave. I've met some kind high ranked players as well who are playing chill and enjoy the game and not really care about rank. But like I said - in these 60 hours I found that a lot of players get toxic due to their high rank. I've seen few low ranked toxic players but mostly are high ranked.
