What is with the toxic survivors today?
It's really bad, it's never ever been this bad before. Every single game.
Days like this make me just want to quit playing for good; I know I won't, but man I really should.

I know the feeling. I've swore I'm leaving this game for good 3 times this month and uninstalled it twice just to reinstall it because I hate myself. I will leave one day. Maybe. Probably not but maybe!

I am about one more toxic group like this away, from just face camping every game as bubba.

got prox camped by a deathslinger and nearly died on my first hook.

Encountered one from yesterday on my first day back from my break, two people were salty I beat them with Hag.

A Nea Death experience?

Just SWF doing SWF stuff for #########'s and giggles. Meanwhile survivor queues increase and nobody knows why.

I'm at that point and it's therapeutic.

Tomorrow is rank reset, so they want to toxic around before it happens.

Im finding the toxicity is going down a lot at mid ranks. Barley seen any on either side tbh
0 -
All I get is full red ranks. I haven't seen anything else all morning.
Matchmaker is technically "Working as intended" meanwhile I've lost like almost every match and somehow not deranked once at all.
The ranking system is just so, so bad.....

I understand your frustration. Playing at different times of the day usually helps me. And killer is going the same way. The other day I was camped every single match, to the point I started bringing Camaraderie.
I just wish these killers where matched against these survivors, so they could have the max of each others experiences haha

Dota 2 I think actually had a system like that. I'm not entirely familiar with it I don't play it, but from what I understand if you rage and disconnect a lot and such; it would actually put you more and more against people who do the same thing, until eventually you can't even play proper games because everyone disconnects lol.

Survivor keep getting nerfed on killers order so playing solo is impossible which results in more ppl playing Swf and be toxic about it or more solo players quit (surprised pikachu face)

baby, it is the weekend. Remember to put on your scrubs before you launch the game.

They nerf both sides, solo queue is hard because of lack of communication but it's hardly impossible the game is more balanced around that than SWFs which is why people hate playing against SWF's so much because the game was not originally designed with that in mind. It's been getting better slowly for both but it's not there yet.
However bullying and harassing other people is not acceptable for any reason. It's why I won't actually face camp as bubba despite joking that I am tempted to do so; because it's not fair to harass other people because you are upset at something misguided or not.

Survivor keep getting nerfed on killers wish so they stop playing solo meanwhile killer wonder why are they more or only Swf who are toxic about it
(surprised pikachu meme)

Lol no.
Btw, i play solo on red ranks.
If you need SWF to play on red ranks, then you don't belong there.
13 -
For real, it's not hard to be gen efficient and that's all it takes to beat like 9/10 killers. The only reason it gets hard is because it's 3 other random people, you don't know if they are going to just throw because they want to go have dinner or let their little brother on their account or something.
Be gen efficient, know how to run a killer, and honestly the coordination required is fairly minimal. Even when playing in a SWF the only info we share we wouldn't already know is like "I am going to come save you" that's about it.

I only played solo on red rank but i can use windows only so many times when there is no pallet because they got wasted at 4-5 gens after 10 mins in game, i wished i had solo mates like u who would carry me.
seems to me like u are getting a way better treatment in this game nothing less.
ofc someone like u couldn´t even consider it having easier than other.

Oh boy,i had a lot of moments like these 🤣
It's really awful,but that's DbD for you 👀

I still won't do it because most people are not like this honestly. I am just having rotten luck this evening.
It's still tempting though....

After 10 minutes? Gates should be powered by then.

I agree.

It's disheartening that killers all but rely on survivor mistakes to get any headway. Frankly, I'm tired of it and taking a hiatus from what was once a favorite thing of any game to play.

SWFs have it easy and want to rub it in your face

He said he plays solo. The other survivors haven't finished their sightseeing tour of the map yet.
0 -
It's really not that much easier, unless someone has like OoO and is cheesing it with discord. But other than that it's not that big of a deal.
They are more likely to be toxic however, because people in any group are just more likely to be like that, it's human nature, but solo queue can be just as good as a SWF if all four people are not bad or just throwing for whatever reason.
I would take 4 bad players in a SWF, over 4 decent players in a solo any day of the week. Statistically SWF only survive like 4% more of the time for a reason.

I hop on before rank reset to derank or play swf for like an hour but I'm mostly gone. I haven't really played since the shutdowns started and lord knows I got time. That's how I feel about the game right now. I'm home even more than usual and I'd rather play something else. The DS change might bring me back for a bit but unlikely. I've had 10k shards before Twins released and I don't even want them. I don't even want trickster either. The last 2 killers released didn't even convince me to come back.

I definitely see increase in SWF group these days.
Not that I care though. If I suspect SWF, I’m going to dodge. If somehow I missed SWF group, I’m gonna afk in corner.
I’m playing to have fun, not to be bullied.
0 -
I'm gonna assume you're talking about DS. Sorry everyone abused the ######### out of it that killers asked for a nerf so the killers that don't tunnel don't get hit by it by accident

I had a nice fun break earlier. I ran into a SWF that invited me into the gas station on Autohaven, and pretended to be shop keepers and they had me shop at their store haha.
I dunno what the exchange rate is on Demo Dollars though.

I love matches like these.
Just memeing around and have fun being silly ❤

Ah makes sense. I sell maps for tourists. With all interesting spots marked. Like the cow tree or the bus.
0 -
Bit late but I think I'm aware of the reason, just hopped off an ONI game and yes survivors are still toxic, MMR is being turned on later today so people are using up this chance to bully anyone they can.
0 -
@Echorion quite frankly this game (the high ammount of toxic survivors) has brought out the toxic in me..
Now I just play to kill.. I camp, I tunnel, I let them bleed..
And I enjoy the salty msgs at the end..
I love when I get all SWF red ranks.. they get so salty after getting toxic game play back at them..
0 -
The best matches are these matches. Shame they’re so rare though.

my solo queue team hasnt done a single bm and he basement camped me even though i did nothing to provoke him. i was lucky someone had borrowed time
0 -
I feel like solo queue and team are not really fitting in the same sentence. You mean you and your friend?
If you have 3 people I consider it still a SWF it's not really "Solo" queue when it's more than solo.

@swager21 that's just a douchebag of a killer.. there's players that just want to be a-holes.. (survivors and killers)..
There's always the question on "the chiken or the egg".. killers are like that due to toxic survivors, or toxic survivors are like that due to toxic killers..
I have maybe 9 months playing.. already a solid red rand killer.. in my case I became toxic (intentionally from time to time) cause I dislike teabagging, trashing, and salty msgs after the game, so I figured.. if I'm going to get salty msgs however I play, I better play to win and my sole fun.. whatever strategy works and evolves during the game..
When I see very weak survivors I still let them go (you notice at how they move around).. I don't want their firsts impressions of the game to be their last..

Camping isnt toxic.
0 -
@Echorion not sure at how many swf at the time, but last night alone I got salty messages (for my pleassure) of entire teams that new each other and got the hook..
Here's one that was fun.. after killing 2, one of the killed ones started to send "join party requests" NONSTOP while I was chasing on the other 2.. after maybe 10 requests I joined.. I could here them talking to each other and not even expecting for me to join.. so, for my pleasure I talk trash back to them while I hooked the last 2..

This is so wholesome. Would love to have survivors like this.

I've run into a few in the past little while. it's not just survivors, it's killers too. A lot of face and proxy camping. as a killer I try not to do that but if an unhook notification goes off I'm heading over there.
part of it could be because the rank reset happened today. I'm really looking forward to when all ranks reset to 20, then rank will truly no longer matter.
I'm almost tempted to ask the devs at their next Q&A if they intended to create a game where some of the community take matches so seriously that it sucks the fun right out of them? let me clarify a bit; I'm not saying being good at the game is bad, that's actually damn awesome and I can respect a killer that stomps my team and a team that can outplay me as killer. it's the attitude that gets to me.
people saying GGEZ or get good, or Trash killer when they beat you. and if they loose to you they do the same thing sometimes worse.

i would consider forcing me to depip and not even giving me a fair shot in the game pretty rude
0 -
Same could be said when survivors wont give killers free hooks and just try to escape. Thats not toxic or rude.
0 -
you are being a bit too technical. i mean what would the point of the game be if survivors just fed the killer free hooks
0 -
and why shouldnt killer try to kill survivors? Most of the time when someone camps or tunnels, they do it to win the match, not to be toxic.
0 -
he should try to kill survivors, but the way he does it is the problem. and most campers are bubbas whos only purpose is to give the survivors a headache and they dont care about deranking.
