Killers, why do you hit survivors on the hook, even when they're not being toxic?
Just curious because this happens to me a lot.

Stopping Yun-Jin (who kinda sounds like goofy, no offense) and Elodie from destroying my eardrums.

They make a squishy noise when you smack em

The screaming on certain characters are ear-piercingly loud.

I do it when they put up a good chase, kind of like a "f you" to them. I don't mean it in a way that I hate them but more like a "congratulations you were hard enough to catch that I'm mad at you"

Why do survivors t-bag and click their flashlight? If the survivor wasn't toxic then they are probably doing it just to annoy and mock.
Then again, depends on what people consider toxic. If I get my first hook and I hear 3 gens pop. I'm sure as hell gonna camp and start hitting the guy on hook out of spite. You just did 60% of the game, 2 more gens and I'm out of the game with an Entity Displeased, a derank, barely any Bloodpoints and getting t-bagged at the gate.
Same as how lots of survivors justify themselves when they t-bag because "wahh the killer was mean he camped/tunneled/whatever" then I'm gonna do the "equivalent" (hitting the hooked survivor will never be the same as t-bagging, specially not culturally) and hit on hook when they gen rush, or constantly body block me and follow me around sabotaging hooks and trying to blind me, etc.

I'm talking about when survivors are not toxic, I never t-bag in front of the killer and I refuse to use flashlights and keys unless I find them in a chest.
I can't help it if gens get done fast, that's my objective, nothing else for me to do.

Well what should the killer be doing? If he managed to catch just you and 3 gens popped immediatly, should he just go into a corner and cry? should he become a super pro and tryhard despite 60% of the match already being gone and in 80 more seconds the two final gens can pop?
You're taking him hitting you as a personal attack when it can be just the killer killing time, or being stressed because of the match so he just presses M1 while facecamping you. I've had people tell me t-bagging is not toxic and "they are just pressing ctrl!!!!". Well, the killer is just pressing M1.
If it happens to you so often then you're either toxic or extremely good at looping to the point him not being able to caught you the whole game made him lose the match or whatever. Did you ever ask the killer who hit you on hook why he did it?

This was so painful to read.

Because it's too easy to dominate most of your matches once you get mediocre as killer so at some point you just feel like you can bm survivors without the risk of losing to them so basically some people just bm because: Why not?

Original Kate scream is still the greatest and worst scream they've ever done

Her injured and hit sounds were realistic but the hook scream....

Are you talking about when they hook you and do a single hit as soon as their hook animation finishes before walking away or when they just stand there hitting you?
If it's hitting right after they hook you it's to stop the scream.
If it's just standing there hitting you it isn't necessarily because you were toxic. It's their version of teabag. Like how a survivor will teabag at killer for no other reason besides they can, a killer will hit you on hook because they can.

More talking about repeated hits. I wasn't toxic so I don't see a reason for them to be toxic back to me and "teabag" me. It seems childish. I understand if they do that to a survivor who was toxic the whole match but not to ones who weren't.

When Elodie’s scream was busted on Switch, I’d constantly hit every elodie on hook to save my ears. Otherwise, I’ll do it if the survivor is toxic/sandbags a teammate(as in body blocks them from being able to move)

We need to assert dominance.

Most of the time I can't ask them because they're on another platform. If they do happen to be on the same platform I do ask them. Most of the time they don't respond but I have gotten an "idk" more then once.

Sometimes I do it at high ranks because it can cause confident survivors to expose themselves during the wind down animation for the unhook.

I'm going to have to pass the torch to Elodie on this one. That ######### was maddening.

Like I said, it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with you being toxic, they're just doing it because they can. There was a dev that in a stream said he liked standing there swatting at survivors while they were on the hook, he just found it fun.

WHAT
W H A T, what the heck was that? That sounded like some deep fried crushed soundbyte from a 2003 game
Why BHVR, W H Y?

That took 3 weeks to be fixed when she was released. Let that sink in.

Literal laugh out loud. You couldn't have worded that in a more joyfully simple, direct fashion. That was great.

It's such a shame people hate elodie because of the bug. She is so stylish

It's been said several times but one hit on hook is normal as it is essentially like hitting the mute button on a Survivor! Even if they've got the most tolerable scream you've probably heard 5+ other screams that match, it's grating. And I'm saying that as a Survivor main! 😂
Any hits after that are just poor sportsmanship. But hey, don't let it get to you! As corny as it is to say it really is a best practice to just let it go. There's a million and a half reasons that someone on the other team could be bad mannered and if you played a clean round then none of them have anything to do with you.
Focusing on the bad will make any competitive game quickly become overwhelming and that's a real shame since we can all agree this game is really fun. Get your BP, get out, move on to the next match where you might have a blast.
Take care and happy gaming! <3

Why do people phrase BM questions like this? It's not like it's the majority of players. And, unlike with survivor BM, there's only one killer to a trial, so it's not even the majority of trials either.

I use T-Pose to do that.

I'm only making a post about it because I see it quite often.
And I do my very best to never be a toxic survivor. I never t-bag near the killer, and I refuse to use flashlights and keys unless I find them in a chest, and even then with flashlights I don't even really use them because I'm bad with them, so I just click them around my teammates in most cases.
My point being, I just want to read the different reasonings killers might have to be doing this to survivors who weren't toxic. And I've gotten different responses so it's quite interesting to read.

Do you actually see it that often, or are you sufferring from confirmation bias?
0 -
They generally do it because they recognise they're not as good as the person on the hook but want to tell them they're better. That is, they want to be toxic and make the survivor feel bad. In my experience, at least.
0 -
I see it in more than half of my games.

That is actually astounding. I've played on 4 different servers across multiple times, the biggest two being my own AU and my NA West test server, and I can without a shadow of a doubt tell your I that I almost never come across killers kebabing.
Edit: I play on LA servers to test cultural differences. They exist, but they aren't BM related.
0 -
It didn't happen much in Oce/AU, but that server was plagued by rampant sweatiness that made the game feel stale, anyway.
EU just kind of gets the worst of it. With such a large population to draw from and the fact that its the main server that people will tend to VPN toward, it ends up being an incredibly toxic cesspool.

I don't hate her. I play her some now but when she was first released, Jesus.

EU is definitely bad in terms of killers. Survivors on all servers are kinda douchey, but on EU, when I'm playing with my friends there, it really is tunnel/facecamp central. I could see people BMing there when I'm not looking.
1 -
I wouldn't say it's half of my games like the other guy said, but it is something I see at least once in every maybe 7 games or so, give or take. Sometimes more, sometimes less.
If it is something that I rarely saw, then I wouldn't bother to make a post about it, I genuinely wouldn't care at all if it never really happened to me.
I didn't even known servers had differing playstyles. Interesting.

Some people are just toxic. Its the same as saying survivor why do you tbag at every pallet. Some just do it and perform badly cause they want to piss others off.

You're giving up on the game way too soon.

That sucks. Seems pretty painless to read.

This is kind of painful in conjunction with your thread yesterday complaining about how survivors have the audacity to be proud of how they played after you killed them.
...Because you facecamped them to death because they had a pretty successful chase against you and you got mad about it?
There's a ton of things wrong with this scenario. If three gens popped, you were chasing that survivor for too long and should have recognized that you needed to go after weaker/zoned out prey, and returned to patrolling the gens. If you stick to that chase anyway, and you're getting tilted because the other player played well and took a moderately long time to catch, that's a you problem, not a them problem. If you completely throw the game and refuse to do anything else now that three gens are gone, even though you have a bit of pressure now, an area a survivor is guaranteed to run to, and a much smaller area to patrol, that's extremely a you problem. Gens go way faster in the early game than the late game and survivors tend to get cocky when the killer is doing that badly. Just yesterday I played a game where I got my first hook at 2 gens remaining, with a killer I'd barely played before, and the game ended with 11 hooks and a hatch escape. What you're describing is just giving up.
