Toxic Survivors/Match Making

Playing killer is difficult enough with the high rank survivors. But the worst think chasing off killers is the toxic survivors. Victory isn't enough every one of them stays behind to taunt the killer, "Dude, I'm a rank 12. You're a 1. You should be surviving" Why taunt? The flashlights and the taking advantage of the glitchy gaming. Chasing someone into a corner and they can just circle away from you and you can't hit them. But all in all it is not the game it's the horrible people playing it. Killers will continue to quit because there are other games to play out there where the players don't act like this

    I'll agree if they are spamming the flashlight clicky clicky, but I sometimes try and get a blind on the killer at the exit games. It's not to BM, I just want the boldness points, especially if I rarely interacted with the killer.

    If you have problems with purple circling around just wait until they've stopped doing their moves and hit them.

    There is a massive wall for killer once you hit green ranks, you will come across multiple red ranks. Yes it's not fair but a lot of these red rank survivors are not legit, some of them play like a rank 18.

    If you can't continue to play killer than maybe wait for the future SBM?

    Matchmaking also sucks as survivor I'm purple rank and I'm going against green/brown killers, lot of the times they don't even get one hook :/

    Have you ever played a shooter ever? T-bagging and trash talk happen all the time. How about any MOBA? Emote spam and taunting happens there too.


    You just sound frustrated with bad matchmaking, and the game itself. Survivors clicking a flashlight and crouching isn’t toxic, you just played poorly that game. Unless they said something personally insulting you just need thicker skin my man.

    Guess what? People are not kind and they are rude in real life to. The anonymity of the internet gave them even superior ways to insult and bully others. So whatever game you go there will be people like that. Yes in some games there are more and in some games there are less but there are people like that. I even saw some people to decreased their ranks so that they can bully new killers which I found stupid but they enjoyed that. My advice if you faced againts them ignore them. You are here to play your game and yes they will be disturbing you but hey enjoy your game. At the end chat just ignore them and even make sarcastic comments like "OP survivor beats me baby killer", "I am ez Noob haha you pro". They enjoy the game if they feel like you have been triggered. You can win or lose it does not matter for them, what it matters is that did they triggered you. So dont trigger againts them.

    The problem is most other games aren't asymmetric. What there feels like a simple taunt among the masses feels here like the group bullying the loner. In my eyes this hits a nerve for many people and makes it more relatable with real life especially when a group of survivor does it for example in the exit.

    I don't know what you really expect honestly. Almost every single multiplayer game has toxic players, but for some reason every acts like this is a DBD exclusive thing. It's not. It is an extremely prevalent thing in online gaming. While it's prevalence doesn't mean it's okay, it's something you have to expect and brace for if you choose to play multiplayer games. There will always be people who are toxic, and will find a way to be that way.
