Why the Gate BM?

Because people feel the need to gloat when they're in power.

When survivors are at the exit, barely anything can touch them. Kind of like the occasional Ghostface teabagging your dying character for 2 minutes to then mori you a second before bleeding out.

Both sides have ways to try to show dominance.

Also it's a pvp game, people are mean and sore winners/losers.

You won and you need to make sure they know you won. Killers do something similar when they hit hooked survivors.

Sometimes the survivors have a little gate party, they click their flashlights and butt dance and nod and point at each other. It’s like a little bonding session if the team is strangers but did well.

Sometimes you want to take a hit, especially if you didn’t get chased much since you get boldness points for it.

Sometimes you can farm an easy WGLF stack if two of you take a hit, which is an extra 25% bloodpoints.

Sometimes survivors just want to gloat, or be smug, and rub in the fact that they all get to escape.

Because they know you can't do anything about it, so feel the need to rub it in your face.

Yep.

What's funny is just how long the match will go on if I do this. Like they simply CANNOT bring themselves to just leave, even if the timer ticks down to the last second. They just NEED to get that little teabag-click-click fest in, and if I don't oblige they don't know what to do with themselves.

Yeah, i usually let killers hit me, but they have to come at me, i don't want to risk a noed hit

If they didn't facecamp or tunnel, I'll usually stand at the edge so they can get a free down.

The only time I'll teabag is if it's a Ghostface so he can do it back Lol.

I play both side mostly survivor but I actually wait at the gate to give a free hit for the BP and i also get a chase BP for me. When i play killer i do want to hit you out the gate for the free BP i just don't Teabag and hate when you survivor do that, just get that free BP like me and it's all good no?

I know that last part is sarcastic but as a survivor main, Blood Warden alone has made for some of the most fun gameplay this game has given me. It's so god damn stressful & I feel outplayed every time.

I feel like it's similar to Diversion, in that it's not super meta, and a lot of games it feels sort of like a wasted perk slot, but when it -does- work out, it's a really good time.

Actually hitting a hooked survivor is to stop the screams.

It's just the equivalent of them going "nyeh-nyeh nyeh-nyeh nyeh nyeh!" and taunting you. I don't usually get bothered by it, but some people make it really easy to hate them or make it obvious they're just BMing, so I'll just remember their name and profile and facecamp them next game LOL.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not gonna get mad just because somebody is staying around during EGC to help, but then there's people like this one guy I met, where I just AFKed while the EGC timer was out and this Nea wouldn't get out until the very last second. I then asked her why she even does that, and what the point is, and the only response there was is "youre so mad" "######### player" etc.

That was a real wake up call that it's not worth even giving these people the time of day. Better to just know who they are and facecamp + mori on em.

Oh yeah I agree. I never taunt if the person is just playing normally or if there is seemingly a reason behind them acting the way they are. For example it's endgame and they've had all of two hooks, yeah I won't be mad if they facecamp or tunnel. Sometimes you just want a kill and I can't be mad at that.

Doing that at the beginning of the game though and the unlucky person that got camped or tunneled having like 2000 points. It just annoys me sometimes and taunting helps with it, especially if you see it working. 😀

Unfortunately this is the result of a PvP game. A Survivor gets hit on the hook, face camped, waits 15 minutes for a lobby only to go against an ebony mori, gets tea bagged by Ghostface, or even gets a cruel message from a Killer and they decide to take out it out the next Killer. Just like Killers see tea bagging Survivors or flashlight clicking and decide to punish the next group for it. It's sad because nobody who had anything to do with it is getting 'punished'.

I also think the fact that even red tier Survivor rates are statistically shockingly low (and dropping) has created a lot of hostility. That is a balancing issue though and not the Killer's fault, but the Survivors cannot tea bag the game devs so they target those who win a majority of their games.

As a Survivor main I have literally never tea bagged, not even once. And I cannot flashlight to save my life or anyone else's so I just do not use them but if I did I wouldn't be rude with it. There are those of us out there, I like to think it's the minority who are toxic (Survivors and Killers alike) so hang in there! Happy gaming. <3

As a very new killer main, I was starting to get frustrated with how often I was getting BM from survivors. I was regularly getting stomped into the ground by players who were far more skilled than me but still felt it necessary to pour some salt in the wound by tbagging at every pallet and at the gates as well as spamming their flashlights at every opportunity. What made this even more frustrating is that I try really hard not to play killer in a scummy way. I avoid camping the hook, I try really hard not to do anything that could be construed as tunneling, I make sure to never go after someone who just got off the hook, etc. I want my survs to have fun because I know (from occasionally playing survivor myself) just how annoying those things can be. So when the effort is repaid with a bunch of BM and taunting, it sucks. And I'm sure many people would (and will) say 'you shouldn't play the game if you're going to be that sensitive'-- which is why I was on the verge of just quitting the game altogether. However, I recently encountered a group of survivors who definitely outplayed me, but in EGC one of them went up to a hook right at the door and let me 3 hook him (another player kept taking him down and he just kept going right back and standing in front of the hook, pointing at it), and then the one who was taking him off the hook left their item at the gate. And I was seriously so moved by those gestures. That sort of kindness can go a long way, and it's why I continue playing. On the flipside, I was playing against a Pyramid Head who kept catching me and another survivor (both of us were clearly new players) and taking us over to the gens and smacking the gen like 'finish it.' We finally understood after a couple of times, finished the gens, and PM literally escorted us to the gate. Me and the other survivor got mega points for that match. Those wholesome interactions are so cool. It's why, as a pig main, if someone is nice and wants to boop the shnoot, I'll let them do it and go on their way. I hope to pay those interactions forward as I improve at the game. Anyway, tl;dr can confirm that not all survivors and/or killers are toxic. And if you're one of the awesome people who does this sort of thing on either side, just know that those gestures can have a really positive effect and combat a lot of the negativity in the community <3

It's usually taken as an insult every single time. If you're in the exit gate, leave. No need to waste 2 - 3 minutes of our time.

It's especially annoying when you let a survivor go at the end to be nice and they just teabag and troll....

Some people have so few accomplishments that when they succeed in something small like surviving a match of dbd, they have to celebrate HARD because lord knows it could be years before they do something right again.
