How do you all feel about survivors/killers with TTV in their names?

I love it.

Because I like to stream to my friends over discord and my friends like to streamsnipe. I can't be bothered to do it on my own, though.

I am sad when they don't actually stream

I only care when it turns out they weren't streaming. I like to watch the other perspective after a match.

I generally go in and see how they thought I played after the fact...if they were particularly nice in their commentary that I watch _after the game_ I may throw a few bits their way...I used to say ggs in chat right away and give bits based on that reaction but I got burned a couple times when I went back into the VOD and got trash talked during the game in ways that weren't particularly fair. I always like seeing how I played from the other perspective, and helps me see mistakes I made as well. It's honestly a bit of a disappointment when I go check them out and it turns out they weren't live though.

Yeah you're probably right.

I don't care if I see them. Provided they play well and fair I just treat them like any normal player then I may go into their stream if they're live, say hello, and give them a ggs. Maybe watch back to see what they said about me. I've been told I'm a really good pyramid head a bunch of times :D

When it's been in my name though, there's been some... Interesting experiences. This one Oni going for his adept that told me and my swf to to "kill yourselves" in chat and two survivors who really didn't like the fact I killed them so went on a little tirade about how gay people are going to burn in hell. Then made an alt to do it. And another.

A Pig streamer didn't like me and said they always tunneled the streamer (I managed to escape cause she hardcore threw the game there) and a Yui who killed me and my friend trying for a sick epic locker ds instead of helping the team and missed her ds and we died.

So, yeah, don't really care. Apparently though, a lot of people do

I mean TTV is really one of the few ways a small content creator, such as I can grow, unless they have much bigger content creator connections, which I don't.

It depends. Some people will tunnel and facecamp you just because you are a streamer but I always check them out and if their content looks good Ill drop a follow and I am sure other people are like this too. Be careful though some people will probably streamsnipe you and if you are playing like trapper or hag it will be painful.

I'll usually visit a TTV killer after game to gg and sometimes even stick around to follow.

But if I'm killing and I see a TTV survivor, I'm usually hesitant to go against them. Usually in my experience TTV survivors are the more toxic survivors, which I know is a generalisation because many of the TTV killers I know also play survivor matches. But still...

Also it's probably at least partly because your role as a killer is judged more than your role as a survivor, and I won't know how many people are watching me royally screw up playing as a certain killer.

And they always sell out by using TTV in their name, even when they are not Streaming they still doing it, bunch of sellouts

When I see ttv I get mori and no ed and hope they rage

I see TTV in the name but they aren't streaming, I question if they'd be worth watching to start with. I mean, if you can't even put forth the effort to change your name when your not streaming, you likely don't put much effort in anything else.

i enjoy it, personally! i love interacting with community members, especially if i'm streaming or recording and they're also live, it gives me a chance to compare our gameplay side-by-side!

once in a while i run into a salty individual, but i don't really let it get to me, since i'm generally just happy to be able to play with others regardless of the circumstances.

I guess no real TTV streamer wants to advertise their channel! LOL... your comment is laughable! If the TTV is the killer they are advertising to 4 other people and if there is a ttv in the survivors too that can lead to more than 4 learning of their channel... Same goes with TTV survivors, unless they are playing SWF they advertise atleast to 4 people.

As Killer if I see a TTV, I go into their channel early in the lobby and drop a hello line to introduce myself and 9 times out of 10 I either get the survivor in a jump scare or they get to laughing but either way we have a great time no matter what. IF i'd gone in as killer i'd return after to chat with them. MOST TTV'ers are not toxic and the minority of those that are, make the rest have a bad name.

If it was a good game, I'll check them out and see their pov. If its a bad game and nothing special, I just move onto the next.

Like I just played against a Blight main who was live on TTV. on Crotus Asylum. I had a challenge to do - Destroy all 5 totems and escape. So I brought the pink map to help me out. He was running Undying + Dying Hope (surprised it wasn't Ruin). Well, it was a bad game for him cause I found Undying very fast, followed by DH which was the next totem over. I got 4 totems as he hooked the first person. The last totem came near the end of the game. We got the gens done but only 2 of us made it out, the Cheryl and I. Jeff was caught as we powered the gates and the Blight decided to proxy camp him as the gates were on 2 different ends, we were both full healed and he wanted a guaranteed kill. So Jeff ended up dying and we left.

I loaded up his stream afterwards and saw the Jeff player calling the Blight a b*t*h. He was killed with 14k points while Cheryl and I had 25/26.5k with the escape. I chatted a bit with the killer ttv player, we both said GGs, he explained how I was frustrating him cause I was the one who got all the totems and also ran him a bit at shack. Gave him a follow cause he seemed like a cool dude and watched the pov back. He def wasn't happy, lol.

I'm not quite sure what you were trying to say, but generally big streamers don't put ttv tags to their nicknames due to an incredibly small quantity of people able to see it in-game relative to their general audience (direct consequence pf the absence of Spectate a match feature), which makes it irrelevant as a marketing strategy.

Not to mention that other r1 players are mostly alrdy aware of their existence - there are not that many "big names" of the kind in dbd.

so you're saying that any streamer that isn't already getting 100+ viewers is crap... got it... wow..... MY point is that DBD can help a stream to grow because of it's popularity on twitch along with the fact you are playing with 4 other players in general who would then know of your stream. I have a steady stream of viewers between 7-11 and sometimes more because I am a variety streamer and I've gotten new viewers having TTV in my user name so why not? it is a good advertisement deal to be honest, play a game and advertise to 4 others that don't know you (usually) so they now know you. what's wrong with that? why are they TRASH why are they bad because they are advertising themselves?

I said nothing about the bigger named streamers who use aliases including "I am totally not a TTVER" lol, that one had their twitch in their steam profile! the reason bigger streamers don't use TTV, is their advertising is done more to attract more than one or two at a time but 10-20 at a time in many other ways. you'll also rarely see those streamers advertise in other streamer's discords either. That's why I didn't mention them.

I guess I am no real TTV Streamer at all eh? because i advertise where I know I can reach others???

then your comment "Any man who must say "I am a ttv streamer", is no real ttv streamer." was what? a questionable conclusion? lol I spoke about what using TTV in a name can do for a smaller streamer. you are the one that insulted ME by stelling me that I am not a real TTV streamer because I use TTV in my name. I explained why I use it, why it's a valid use of it and you are telling me now I am the one jumping to questionable conclusions? I know several larger streamers and I know why they don't put it in there, and I can tell you without a doubt that those larger streamers don't advertise in most other smaller streamer's discords because I don't see them do it. so are you now saying that you did not mean that I am not a real ttv streamer because I use TTV in my name? or what exactly did you mean then? lol

so you know: I know a good number of larger dbd streamers, not personally but I do know them: Streamdad, ThatViolinChick, Threat Designs, No0b3, hmmm I know there are more out there but those are a few... oh yea 2 of them I know are or were fog whisperers. I also know a great many not so big streamers.... so tell me where my conclusions are questionable and I was only offended at your very questionable conclusion in the first that I replied to.

fair enough, but if you objectively look at your comment you'll see where it seems like you were being disrespectful. and I appreciate that you want to apologize, but it's not to me for that as I was not that spirit you brought up. and I too agree with you, I think streaming can be a great thing for the game and it's how I started playing in 2018.

I think its time to close this conversation up; its getting a bit too close to streamer shaming.
