Killer Players are Kinder Than Survivor Players

If you out beat them and 3 or 4K, they insult your mother. If they out beat you and you get no kills, they mock you at the exit gate and then either laugh and insinuate how bad you are, or sarcastically say 'GG WP XD' or some other nonsense.

If you 2K them, and as long as you never go back and check your hooked survivor or tunnel, then its a genuine GG.

When I play survivor and the killer beats me, then i say something like he got me good. If our team beats the killer badly, i don't say anything post chat.

Most of the time though killer or survivor, i gg postgame. I try not to let the prior bad experience let them get to me.

Unfortunately stereotypes exists because they are true, at least to some extent.

I guess it has something to do with strength among the masses. It is always 4vs1 and the individual in the 4 can most often rely on backup or support from the rest of the group. The lone individual has to present themselves all alone and that, from a psychological point if view, does not "encourage" such behaviour in the same way.

I have to say I haven't got any toxicity the last few times i played. Mostly nothing at all and a few gg when they stomped me. And the one time I answered their gg, after a game with 1 or 2 hooks on a bad/unfamiliar killer (probably plague), with "gg? Yeah not really in a game with 2 hooks in less than 5 minutes". (I maybe also said something about swf since I check profiles) what I got then was several censored comments, "go die"and they would take their gg back. A normal case of "that escalated quickly".

A bully does not operate alone they seek to surround themselves with others, so all these people will play survivor. That said the real psychos operates alone and will be drawn to the killer role of course. But there are a lot more bullies than psychos in the world so there will be a lot more bad people playing survivor than killer.

I've seen toxicity on both sides, but I think the survivor toxicity is more memorable, because they're in more of a position to bully the fifth player, where as toxic killers can do things that are annoying and unsportsmanlike, but it's much harder for them to trap you in a situation where they just keep taunting you.

It's also true that killer players are more likely to let survivors escape than survivor players are to let the killers kill them. But I think that's partly game design -- psychologically, it's a lot easier to drop someone on hatch than it is to stand there and let yourself get hooked. Even though it essentially costs you the same thing (ie bloodpoints), there are a lot of elements of the game that make "getting killed" seem like more of a negative outcome than "letting someone escape."

Survivors could easily hold the game hostage by hiding at some remote location. The only way a killer can is if its one survivor left and he body blocks him from escaping a tight corner. Slugging all the survivors and letting them bleed out is not holding the game hostage; its douchey yes but you bleed out in 4 min.

I've had 2 occasions of survivors holding the game hostage by hiding; 1 took me idle for 45 min. for survivors to finish the gens and escaping, the other took 15 min but would have taken long if I were not able to locate them hiding.

I've actually tried to let the killer kill me many times, but lots of them just don't want the pity kill. Some appreciate it, especially if they're working on the challenge, but most of the time, they motion for me to leave.

""Also killers get to decide how the game is played, what tactics will be used, etc. So they have a greater chance of negatively impacting a person's game, if said person dislikes the tactics used. What can survivors do to control the game besides play immersed?""

No, this is what you said. 🤥

Literally every post of his is the same iteration just framed in a different way.

I give killer a few hooks sometimes at end game if I feel bad or if point offerings are on the line. Though some killers:

• DC before the end if they aren't playing well.
• Sit in a corner.
• Not hook the survivors.
• Will sweat their ass off to kill that survivor who literally gave them a free hook (had that happen too many times).

Both sides are kind, though I feel like killer has more opportunities to be nice than survivor. Also if survivors give an offering (usually an item) then the killer might let them live, but the killer can't really offer anything to the survivors.

My grandmaster had a saying in martial arts when it came to anything competitive where you could win or lose.

He said to us, "You can never win everything all the time. Nor will you lose all the time. What matters most, is winning or losing with dignity and honor. "

That has always stuck with me. That's how I chose to play. I will always say gg regardless of outcome. Camped, tunneld, tbagged, looped it does not matter. This game is too random to think you can win every game.

Remember my friends. At the end of the day it's just a game.

I’ve run into a equal amount of horrible people on both sides. You’re bound to see more toxic survivors since there is 4 per match vs the 1 killer.

That is your experience. That is how it felt to me when I was in newb ranks. I can't agree with you.

If he's tunneling camping or slugging with 4 or 5 gens left he might deserve a little haha tbag. He tried to go the way that sucks fun from the game so you have a right to get a little of that back.

If I'm not hard up for a win or working on the archives for something I have no problem playing with a newbie killer so they get some points. I play kind unless given reasons not to. I understand being behind on hooks compared to gens and can forgive A camp on me if im not tunneled. That isn't even a hard and fast rule because most of the time I play I want to get out of the game when I can cause my buddy is waiting either having been killed or escaped while I hung back to help.

Killer:

1.) I've also seen a lot of high ranked Killers get paired up with me (green, sometimes purple) and 3 other yellow survivors, absolutely demolish us then laugh and taunt in post game chat. Killer taunting in general, ime, happens only a bit less often than surv taunting. This is likely due to every match containing 4 survs to 1 Killer.

That said, the vast majority of post game chats are either ggs or nothing from anyone.

2.) Eh, I would say 'so many'. For me, it happens in about 1 out 15 games or less.

3.) Not always, or even often. Some do and I appreciate it. I usually offer to be sacrificed in matches like that because it's just a crap time for everyone involved. That said, most DC games play out as 'normal' - everyone that stays just trying to play the game and get out of it what they can. My personal preference is when a Killer lets us get just a gen or two done and then resume as normal. Sure, we'll probably lose, but at least it's a salvageable time for all remaining.

4.) No, they really don't. As with point one, Killers are just as likely to be exceptionally salty in post game chat. Especially if there is even 1 BNP or a couple (not even on every surv) 'second chance' perk.

Survivors:

1.) I do it all the time unless I have a challenge that requires me to escape. Unless the Killer insists that I leave (which happens about half the time), and then I leave.

2.) Not sure what you mean here. I'm guessing you mean you haven't gotten very many hooks, but 3-4 gens have gone. The only thing I can tell you is that Survs, perhaps especially in solo Q, are usually well aware of just how fast a game can snowball for them. Sure I can give you a hook because you haven't gotten many, but then you decide to camp/slug/tunnel and suddenly that 4E goes to the 2-3K. It's a lot easier for a Killer to capitalize on Surv goodwill and trust than vice versa.

Do you know how many times I've had a Killer let up on a team when we're getting hammered with 4 or 5 gens left? Exactly 1 and they admitted in post game that they thought we were SWF and when they realized we weren't, they throttled down. I was solo and have no clue about the other 3.

3.) Honestly, this sounds like a lot of confirmation bias. What I see are generally survs writing gg and the Killer sometimes responding. Or the Killer saying gg first and then the survs respond.

4.) I mean, the only way Killers can drag out a win is either let everyone bleed out or 'dribble' survivors and then chase them again. Both of which seem like a lot of effort and a waste of time compared to t-bagging at the gate. But I will also point you to the many Killers that refuse to accept less than a 4K and will in fact let survs do the full bleed out on the ground while camping them in order to keep them from getting up and to get the other person.

I doubt anyone is going to change your mind. These are opinions likely shaped by personal experience, what you've read, and likely some confirmation bias. Which is fine. We've all got that.
