Punishing arrogant survivors, should i feel bad? Or not do this?
reference on myself as a player i play both roles about 60/40% killer/survivor both rank 1 2.5k hours
So I care about this game. One of my biggest problems with this community is how nasty some players can be or arrogant they act. What im talking about is bming, aka doing things to get under the opponents skin. This is a massive detriment to new players and a drag on people who have played for awhile who are tired of people acting like this.
I feel like when i play killer and i run into an arrogant swf and i beat them and one survivor in particular is nasty i feel obligated to slug them to death as punishment for acting like this. In my head I go through 2 different scenarios 1: maybe they'll learn from this and think twice about being so arrogant or 2: Maybe by doing this I'm galvanizing their mentality. I'm interested in the forums thoughts on this . I'm not salty about players acting like this, I'm used to it at this point, I'm just wondering at this point if its even worth doing this

Play how you want and don't feel bad about it. You don't play for their fun.

If they're being a butthole to you, feel free to be a butthole back. You reap what you sow survivor...
For myself, I generally won't do that just because there's always the slim chance it backfires on me and I don't want to waste my time doing it (rather just kill them and move along) but you do you. If they're gonna be a jerk, maybe a four minute timeout will make them think about what they've done.

Thats what my thought process is. Not malicious but i think about all the newer players that get bullied by swfs like this and feel like i can do something about it, and maybe stop the behavior

I do it if the Survivor is clearly going out of their way to. Had a David the other day teabagging at every pallet and spamming his flashlight the entire match even though I for the moat part just ignored him. When EGC started I downed him, drug him to the basement and placed about 7 bear traps at his feet nodding at him the entire time. I then proceeded to stress test the locker hinges while I was down there.

What is arrogant behavior to you? I play solo survivor. One game I played against a doctor player. I was clearly the best survivor on the team as the doctor player could not catch me and would have to leave chase to down one of the others in a matter of seconds. I did not flashlight click the killer. I did not emote the killer. I did tbag one of the other survivors because when the second survivor to be killed was down, he ran over to the hook to get the unhook with madness tier 3, only he couldn't get the unhook because the survivor was on death hook. Of course being madness tier 3, he screamed and the killer found him and downed him immediately. The killer slugged him and when I ran by him I tbagged for a laugh.
I finally ran out of resources of course and the killer caught me. He then slugged me the full 4 minutes. Usually I keep my chat shut off, but I was a little curious what he was going to say so I turned it on. He called me a toxic survivor, not because I tbagged the Jake, but because he couldn't catch me. I wasn't trying to be toxic to him, I was just trying to play the game and survive. But he only wanted to believe that I was and I deserved to be slugged for 4 minutes.
There are many different strategies that people don't find fun to play against on both sides. That doesn't make them toxic. Sometimes tbagging and flashlight clicking is the survivor trying to rile the killer up a little to make them make mistakes. It could also be to say "hey come chase me". You don't know what they mean by it until the end game and you can ask them. Why not give them the benefit of the doubt before you decided to exact some type of false vengeance? And those that are doing it to get under your skin aren't going to change. The killer getting tilted and trying to punish them is what they want.

Bming is obvious when you come across it. Its blatant and consistent. not a few bags or clicks. I dont do this to people who are trying to have fun or get my attention. Thats why i said i wasnt salty so that people knew that i wasnt getting tilted by random stuff like this. Just punishing excessive bming like tbagging clicking and emotes, in an arrogant way.

If their gunna give it they've got to know how to take it. That's why I don't bm when I play either role because I know if I lose after I'll feel like an idiot lol.

I'm all for being a dick to survivors that are dicks to you, it's karma distilled into its purest form, but it's not going to teach them anything. Some will go 'yeah I got served' and then carry onto the next match with the same behavior. The others aren't even going to have that much self-reflection; they're not even going to connect your behavior to theirs. If you lose, it's 'haha lol killer so mad' no matter how chill you were about the game, and if you facecamp or slug them all to death, then they think they were justified in being toxic to you because you were a toxic killer... which I'm sure has nothing to do with the fact that they were BMing you to high hell from the start of the match, but we all know that Neas have flashlights for brains.
But being nice to those players doesn't change anything either, so really, just do whatever's most cathartic to you. You're not making the problem worse.

That happens to me a lot. I usually expect to get one hooked or camped because I'm a complete bother to catch once, let alone multiple times. I'm pretty much on autopilot running some tiles too.

This reminded me of one of my matches today. I was going up against a Trickster. I didn't encounter him the whole game and he didn't get any hooks. I felt bad so when I opened the exit gates I stood there with this other survivor I was solo queing with, so he can throw knives at me and hit me to get some points. I never t-bagged him or flashlighted him.
Well he added me and the random I played with and invited us to a custom match. I thought he was going to practice playing as trickster so I had no problem helping. Well the random survivor disconnected and I found the hatch and escaped. I ended up leaving the custom match because I wanted to go to normal matches to save up bloodpoints for the RE chapter.
When I left he messaged me saying stuff along the lines of "Why did you leave you coward?, You were taunting me last game" and I'm like what? What is he talking about? I felt bad, so I stood still and let him hit me so he could get some points, being as though he didn't even hook anyone. He didn't even down anyone in the match we were in before he invited me and the random to the custom. I was just trying to be nice, as I said, I didn't t-bag him nor flashlight him. But he took me standing there and letting him hit me, instead of leaving, as being toxic and taunting.
I was genuinely just trying to give him some bloodpoints, and it wasn't my intention to be "toxic" or come across as taunting. But I guess that goes to show that people have different opinions/views on what is considered toxic or taunting :P But yeah, that's just my story I wanted to share. I've never encountered anything like that in DBD before. So thanks for whoever takes the time out to read this and I hope you have a nice day :)
