Stop bullying killers
Just tried playing oni, got bullied by a swf group. Would show you the after game screen, but that would give them attention.
If you finish the last gen, just leave.
No one likes a bully.
I dont mean this out of disrespect nor have revealed any names or ids.
Its just not fun to play killer anymore, since every other game is like this
But i got tome challenges... Yay.
If you seek to ruin someone elses game for them, then you shouldnt play the game.
Sorry had to get that out of my system.

@Sinatyxmas Was the match in the cornfield??

i see people say "the killer is not responsible to make sure you have a fun/good experience" when anyone bitches about playing the game in a certain way. well...it goes both ways.

Bullying is an exception though. That has no place anywhere, even in video games.

how is one "bullying" and the other isnt
7 -
Well you gave a vague example. The killer not being responsible for the survivors fun doesn’t necessarily mean they’re bullying if the survivors aren’t enjoying themselves. Vice versa too.
My point still stands though. Intentional bullying has no place anywhere.
40 -
I agree. As a survivor main I feel terrible that killers are bullied. It's not right no one should bully anyone.
I'm sorry that happened to you.

Trying to win the game regardless of opponent having fun or not is one thing.
Intentional annoying your opponent to BM him is not the same.
28 -
After the last gen popped? I mean if they pop the gate just go make a sandwich and face a corner or something unless you want to play it out.
If you don't want to and it's not open you can open it yourself and do the same.
Not saying that means them being jerks is okay of course it's not; but I mean people like that are bound to happen it's unavoidable so those are your best options in that situation if it's going to frustrate you dealing with them.
Also what were they doing to bully you? There are things you can do in game to counter some of it. Just t-bagging at gates for example?
When I am trapper and I am done I just start putting down and picking up traps till I max my trap points for example; or I go in basement and set a couple traps and face a corner in case someone is dumb and hears my terror radius and is dumb enough to run down to try and mock me only to step in a trap they didn't see on the stair corner or such.

are you implying killers can't bully/bm?
3 -
I try to tell my SWF and non-SWF teammates not to act toxic.
8 -
Both sides can do that and both should be ashamed of that.
The phrase "killer is not responsible for survivor's fun" is not referencing to bullying or bm, it is referencing to usual complaints about tunnling, camping, slugging and other things that have nothing to do with bullying 95% of time.
18 -
He is saying that they can, but that ignoring someone else’s fun and bullying them are different things. And he also said that there shouldn’t be any bullying from both sides so I don’t see why you ask.
Ignoring survivor’s fun means that if I feel like a need to camp a hook to gain an advantage, I will camp.
Bullying you is slugging you and watching you crawl when you’re the last survivor alive without even closing the hatch to fulfill some sadistic pleasure in your bleed out timer going down while I know I’m wasting you personal time. You see, that doesn’t win me the game because I’ve already won. I’m just doing that to make you feel powerless.
Btw the difference between the two things is supposed to be a basic notion in real life, not in some videogame.
edit: grammar

Very well put.

I can't believe that people feel they can get bullied in a video game. Not everyone is gonna be nice, and they don't have to (aside from racial slurs obviously).
4 -
So people are complaining about chat filter, because they want to see all the rude words... but they can't handle bullying in the game?
... Ok I am exaggerating, probably they are probably two separate group of people
2 -
You know you can open the exit gate with the killer?
So if they finish the last gen, just open the exit gate and go AFK for two minutes. Done.
5 -
This post not gonna stop it anyways and i think you undestand that, so whats the point to create one? Pointless discussions .. topicks like this were 100s if not even 1000s already..
1 -
Because half the things Survivors whine about are regular gameplay mechanics. There's NO REASON to have the gates open with all four Survivors alive do anything except LEAVE. Anything after that is being a jerk on purpose. The game is OVER. Take your W already.

As a killer I feel bad for the next group I come across when I get bullied. Most of the time I try to play for fun but when I eventually run into a try hard swf group that pisses me off. Then I say #@!% it and switch to my main killer. Then I look like an ass for beating the crap out of another group of survivors who had nothing to do with my bullying. Who is the #########? Me or the people who drove me to use the meta?
5 -
You can get bullied everywhere. Its not surprising that it happens and most people expect it, but that doesnt mean its ok.
Making someone miserable, is always dumb.
4 -
Not exiting right away isn’t bullying.
What’s next? Hop in a locker means they are bullying?
2 -
I think what they mean is when all the survivors are at one exit gate waiting for the killer to go over to the gate so they can taunt them
3 -
Doesn't the exit gate have to be like half powered?
0 -
No you can open an exit gate as long as another exit gate hasn't been opened or you didn't close the hatch.
3 -
I don't understand it either. I'll do it sometimes to let the guy get a few points or rack up protection guys for wglf stacks but unless the killer was being a jerk I gtfo to the next game.
0 -
No, I opened one myself as doc the other day just because I felt bad for the horrible teammates one of the survivors I was playing against had
0 -
Ok, thanks for the tip, I always thought the gate had to be powered, lol
1 -
Well technically it does, but the gates are "powered" when 5 gens are done. It doesn't need to have any progress on the lever though
1 -
Cool, thanks
0 -
Same. I pretty much only play Freddy for dailys or challenges now. But if I get a run on bad games with some of the other killers where they're quite douchey, I slap on the old Fredster with strong add-ons and just slug the ######### out of every body.
It's a bummer it's gotta be that way, but some nights I'm just not in the mood to get effed with.
2 -
It's strange but it feels like survivors t-bag at exit gate more when you play nice and let them heal under hook, don't tunnel etc, but when playing a bit dirty hitting them on hook and stuff they often just leave. Bullies is school always pick on the nice kid, stop being the nice killer perhaps?
1 -
"I don't know why you made me hit you."
Same energy.

The word bullying gets thrown about so much in this game. This world has become so soft 🤦♂️
0 -
Yeah. Some very fragile killers on here.

Look up "cyberbullying" some time.
It's a very real thing and it leads to very bad consequences.
There are a certain kinds of evil in this world, and pretending that a real, abusive thing isn't an actual problem is one of them.
Show some respect.

Were you the mystery Oni?!?!?!
There was a thread that was JUST like the story you described posted a couple hours before you posted yours! Was that you??

No killer who wins a trial gets ‘bullied’ by survivors. My feeling is that this thread is more about people being upset about ‘losing’ than whatever bullying would be defined as.
1 -
Are you kidding me????
THAT IS THE BEST PART!!
Getting a group like that, killing at least 2.. tunneling them, face camping them.. and getting their salty messages afterwards is like the cherry on top..
You just need to get better..
Keep practicing, you'll get there..
1 -
While I agree with this how do you define bullying? Alot of killers claim to get bullied but other than abusive language after the game how can you actually bully them?
0 -
With three flashlights at the same time. Whatever you do to ruin the other person’s experience WITHOUT getting you an advantage in the game is just harassing someone. It becomes bullying when you have a heavy advantage and clearly just want to show you’re better. Which you are not.
As I said, another example of killer bullying survivors would be to slug and watch them crawl when they’re the last one alive and the hatch isn’t closed. The only reason you would do that is to waste that player’s personal time.
1 -
Tbh, in my opinion both. They because they did what they did and you because you COULD make a show of character strength in trying to be the "bigger/better person" and instead of continuing the cicle by taking a break or simply not giving in to your frustration.
1 -
honestly its the worst when they get the gate open and they sit there the whole time just blinding you and teabagging right down to the last second, At that point you just waisted my time and usually if that happens you get the whole end of game chat of them telling you to un-install even though its a swf all 10 ranks higher then you.
I just don't get the mentality, fair enough if you all want to tea bag for a second or two at the end but its not fun for anyone when they are there just until the timer runs out doing it all when my guy is just stood still.
I never get the end game chat either especially when its red rank swf and your a green rank killer and they still proceed to chat ######### at the end, even if you got one kill. like it was a fair game annyway
2 -
Do you know the survivors involved?
In game lore names, clothing, items brought
If so, then yeah
0 -
I get that people feel so good about gen rushing a killer who gets maybe 1 or 2 hooks the entire game . But why be a dick and t bag at the exit gates where you are safe cause if the killer hits you you get pushed out
1 -
I don't know, but it was this thread: https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/231967/keep-it-up-oni that was started by @notstarboard
I would just love if you were talking about each other!

It definitely sucks, and when I play survivor, I try to play with more sportsmanship than that and leave immediately, unless I stop to heal someone for those last few points. I have run into this as a killer quite a bit. I had a match where the Gates had been open for maybe 15-20 seconds if that, and I was in the middle of the map and 2 survivors came all the way out to teabag and flashlight click just to taunt. What I do is go to the center of the map or as far from the gates as you can and just afk. Every so often, you'll get a Survivor that gets a little too careless. I have had 2 separate occasions where a survivor was automatically sacrificed because they forgot about the timer, and one very lucky match as The Trapper where a survivor caught themselves in a in a bear trap and I got a late basement hook. It's rare it goes that well, but it's immensely satisfying when it does. Late game perks like NOED and Blood Warden will help too.

Oh whoa that would be wild if so! If OP has a heart in their name and doesn't play on Steam then it must have been - that'd be way too much of a coincidence otherwise.
I'm pretty sure I was playing as Elodie with the P1 shirt.
