As a killer, do you hold grudges?
For example: During your match you are chasing a claudette, and you walk through a pallet. A nea walks up from behind and slaps you with it, and teabags you when you turn around. Do you hold a grudge and focus down the nea when the opportunity arises? Or do you just let it go? Would like to hear from some of the killers here if they hold grudges like that.

If she had just slapped me with it, I would've been understanding as she's just helping her teammate. However if she decides to teabag me then she's getting insta-hooked. I don't care if that makes me petty, easily wound up, if you're going to teabag then I'm removing you from the match immediately.

I would say for me personally I know it sounds dramatic but it literally depends on my mood and how my games have been going.
If I've had bad games and I'm in a horrendous mood then for sure I will make sure I get my own back.
BUT
More often than not, I get annoyed in the moment but get on with it and usually don't get my own back unless they're just being beyond toxic and cocky.

Yes, I do, sometimes.
If you call me a slur, you're being tunneled. No exceptions.
There's also a select few people I hold a personal, deep hatred of (one of whom is a WR Pig Main, and two of whom are a duo that hate me and I hate them, for example) that I've gotten a gurdge against through several matches where I hate how they play.
I like to make sure everyone in my games has fun, or I try to anyway, and I really dislike being salty over a specific trial for more than 5 minutes, but some people just know which buttons to push and they do not get to have fun when I'm in their games :)

Sometimes, I guess? Most of the time I don't really care. Hell, I might thank a Survivor for dropping a pallet way earlier than another survivor would of.
0 -
I used to, but these days, I'll only go for a-holes who excessively t-bag and are obviously in annoying me rather than playing the match. That, or those who intentionally sandbag their teammates or unhook in my face, immediately after I hooked someone. I won't take the bait right away, but wait until the right time and they're out positioned, then welcome to camp town, where you get an up close view to my beautiful eyes.

Hmmm good question!
I always go after the most obvious target. So if I lost sight of Claudette and Nea was still there I would go for her. Not because of the stun but because what else am I going to do.
0 -
More likely I’m cussing the dog for barking while when the pallet drop disturbed her.
then I’m too busy getting harassed by my wife for cussing the dog to notice the tbaggin I’m getting.
1 -
Not usually, no, but when someone is REALLY asking for it (pallet save, flashlight, teabag) then yeah, I seethe and can't WAIT to kill that #########.
2 -
I do.
Not "throw the game to down" type of grudge, but "I'll be extra mean".
1 -
No, i feel doing stuff like that just poisons the mind.
I'll only consider if it's more profitable to go for her or not.
6 -
Yes. It is a problem for me
1 -
This. I may decide to focus the toxic survivor a little more, but ultimately I’ll make the choices that I think will win me the match.
1 -
I’m a pretty friendly killer and I often let survivors go if they made it to an exit. But if a survivor is being a real #########, they might get extra attention for me. If they are clearly just trying to get my attention to distract me, they don’t get it. They get to stand there and click their flashlight while I kill their friends.
0 -
Sometimes. I usually don't let things bother me, but if survivors are constantly t-bagging after every pallet, excessively clicking their flashlights, and/or being really toxic in general, you bet they are going to get face camped.
0 -
generally i try not to let ######### like that bother me, but on occasion i will do something like this. but they have to really piss me off so much that i am willing to throw the game just to see them die.
0 -
Yes, I hold grudges. The one that gets my goat is the aggressive DS. Where the survivor runs at you to force a DS play. I then tunnel that person out of the game.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
0 -
Nah, not gonna throw the game just because some one pressed CTRL or M2 3 times in a row.
1 -
Not really usually, occasionally I'll go out my way to find the unseen Blendette and put them on death hook once I realise I've only chased 3 survivors for the entire match
0 -
Nah, I keep it professional. They're all meat for the hook.
1 -
Not really. But I did have someone who kept tbagging near me and within a short time after they were downed and on hook. They were somewhat less cocky after that.
0 -
Oh, yeah, if you stun me with the flashlight, your game just got a whole lot less interesting. Anything else? Nope, don't care.
0 -
I do, but that doesn't mean I'll go out of my way to get that survivor instantly. If someone teabags me and clicks flashlight I assume they want to get my attention so I'm more prone to ignore them than to tunnel. However, this usually means that I will play more ruthlessly, camp, slug and go for the 4K in the end.
0 -
I would give that nea a reward.
For either succesfully jumpscaring me, for actually being a survivor that helps their teammates or for wasting a pallet that wasen't needed and i can break now
0 -
I agree. Teabagging is a gesture of disrespect to your fellow gamer. Depending on my mood, i might decide not to play the game at all, because i dont have to play with people disrespecting me. Let them escape with their 12k bp and no thrill of the game.
4 -
Not sure I would call that a grudge. I just try to kill everyone and most times I do. I don't get upset at it because to me it's just a taunt, and when I'm playing survivor, I do it too. So what.
The only times I ever held grudges is if people were really racist or said dumb ######### at end chat and I would usually remember those names-- and back 3-5 years ago, it was inevitable that you would go against the same people at rank 1, so it would almost never turn out well for them.
0 -
Yeah it's the one of the must fun parts of the game. I'm not changing targets or throwing the game but if it's worth i'll make sure he won't get past struggle phase and i will remember his name in future matches, specially good if i happen to play bubba.
0 -
Yeah same, I immediately have no motivation to play killer the moment someone teabags me.
0 -
I would say yes. Whether or not I chase them in the moment depends on how much I think they're trying to get me to chase them, so they can distract me. But, I also have a memory so, if I have the choice between killing someone who played perfectly politely or killing someone who was rude, my first choice is the person who was rude.
0 -
Yes and no! Will I tunnel someone out of the game for tea bagging me? No. Will I give a tea bagger the hatch later? Also no.
And if I hook someone who has been bad mannered during the end game you'd better believe they are not getting off of that hook. It's the same kind of decency that I show Killers as a Survivor. Be kind, play fairly/cleanly, and I'll be pretty chill about everything!
4 -
Head on me and you are going to die. Weirdest part I love that perk and respect when it's pulled off and I love pulling it off myself. Will still kill whomever hits me with Head-on though.
Survivor - take this head-on mean killer.
Me - OHHHH your gonna die #########.
Love the perk though lol.
0 -
All the time.
If You cleanse my Hex where I can see You, it's my personal credo to tunnel You down and facecamp You to death. Or maybe it's a vendetta?
Either way, I'm cool with everything else.

I don't like camping just to camp, but this was rather funny to read and I have seen friends do it. I'm a survivor main along with one friend of mine and they are rather toxic sometimes, and this happens to them. And I try my best to save them. But I try to remind them every chance I get, that they would be able to play normally with the rest if they would stop doing stuff to purposely anger the killer.
0 -
I’m a survivor main too, I only dabble in killer when I get a long streak of crappy teammates and just need a break from it or need to do killer challenges for blood points and rift.
I don’t care to camp, it is boring, but I concede that there are times when killers have to. I won’t do it unless I’m down to one or two gens and the survivors are obviously a good SWF and I need to force someone out.
The only other time I would do it is when my opponents show me no respect. If they don’t want to play the game normally and want to harass me with their flashlights or try and bait me into multiple head on stuns just for the laughs at my expense, well then, I’ll stop caring for their fun and give them a miserable game. It’s funny because, they almost always screw up near the basement, which just makes my time very easy.

Funny I had this experience a few days ago for the first time in a long time.
Two double swf (respectively the two dead and the two escapees). I normally play soft for the 4 stacks bbq, 8hooks and no kills plus this time the 4 hit daily on wraith.
Map was one of the yamaokas, the one with the mansion without the hill (if that helps). Two locker at that little shrine and it was relatively close to shack. The two dead ones both lead every chase back to the shrine and after the first head on from both i knew what was going on and shifted to the other 2 for stacks.
I still wanted max BP with 8 hooks but those two would ALWAYS go back to the shrine and slowly but surely i get one Hook after another. But then they even forced DS with the locker grab and that was it for me. I downed one and pulled the other successfully out of the locker and both go on their death hook.
After that I go "afk" while visible while in the shrine and look at the painting there so the other two can finish the last gen (i had 9 hooks by that time and didn't want to accidentally kill on of the other 2).
Result: i dropped mercy halfway through the game and killed those head-on clowns even without real tunneling or camping and successfully let the other two escape.
I even got compliments from the escapees which also found the head-on players annoying.
0 -
lots of time is wasted trying to do head-on plays (unless have Q&Q/Deception). If survivors give the killer extra time they die just like a 3 flashlight game I played last night. I love those games they basically give you the win....Helped I was using Clown that game (He has made his way into my top 5) with Lethal, STBL, POP, Ruin. The pressure was on from the start for them.
0 -
Oh and I finally had RNG go my way they all spawned together which is very rare these days most of the time they spawn separated 3-5 meters from a gen.
0 -
Yeah I know it's more of a meme build (funny enough that one of the other two also had head-on when I almost always have iron maiden in my builds just for the speed up). Which wouldn't be a problem since I don't aim to kill anyway.
But after getting hit several times even despite respecting it due to great hitboxes and then even the forced DS/head-on doublestun, i had enough of this obnoxious strategy which only worked because I played nice without camping/tunneling or slugging up to this point.
Being nice as killer seldomly gets you anything but getting curbstomped by remotely skilled players and only few times gratitude from the genuine new survivor. (Btw I got reset down to 17 in may due to the reset bug and managed to stay there for "sometimes" relaxed" killer dailies or adepts).

I don't know if I'd call it a grudge but maybe I'm just saying that cause I feel like it would make me look silly if I were holding a grudge...
I have a couple of "rules" for when I give people the Hatch and/or choose who to go after if it's a 50/50 split between two survivors. You hit me with a stun or flashlight, that's fair game and I can respect that. But people who clickity click, constant vault/locker jump to make a noise indicator, and people who T-Bag should have a little Telltale Games style pop-up that says "Tippy will remember that" as your chance to be allowed to live if it is my choice as the killer has now been forfeited away.
0 -
Completely agree with everything. My main focus is BP as well (for now) so I tend to allow escapes sometimes because I didn't tryhard their asses and in return....Well you know how they are. BP is most important but if I can I will kill them all at 5 gens if possible just like if I play bad they will end the game in minutes.
0 -
I'm surprised you've gone against him that Pig main that much to have a grudge against him.
Personally I have no problems with him or how he plays, then again I'm also someone who genuinely don't really give a crap what someone tells me or how someone acts on the Internet. It's not worth the time and emotional input.
0 -
Yeah playing nice against genuine bad survivor is also a pain since they take already forever and even longer at the slightest amount of pressure when I try to not completely go afk and still provide some kind of tension for them and then even that is too much.
0 -
One time I was doing a legion "kill one by your hand" ritual. I'm not very good with them, but was good enough this game :) Had one nea that was clearly better than the others trying to distract me.
I ignored her all game until her last friend was on the hook. Took nea down and carried her to the hooked friend so they could watch me Mori.
I get a little carried away with the "one mori" part anyways, but sometimes I will do things to make a point.
0 -
it got to the point where i would snipe him just to dodge his lobbies.
0 -
Jesus, that's quite unlucky. Though I remembered that being something that occurs to me constantly because of MMR.
You sure it wasn't just that?
0 -
Oh yeah, my unlucky streak of VS him over and over and over (and literally being tunneled in every game for zero reason- I spawned in the first ever amtch vs him and got the treatment, and the next, and the next, despite doing nothing "wrong"- to the point where I had to change my steam name after each match because apparently Hakuna Matata was so offensive?????) started long before MMR.
0 -
Sure, if Nea keeps deciding that she wants to t-bag at every loop I'll help her find a different game to press CTRL in when I get the chance, but I don't go out of my way to do it- especially when players like that either do it because they just want to be annoying and get attention, or you've been focusing a teammate all match and they want to pull aggro. (I'm a generally fair Killer, so I know it's not the second one for me.)
Besides, a lot of Survivors that do that tend to be overly altruistic and you can use that to your advantage.
0 -
Hakuna Matata 😂🤣😂 I wish Xbox would let us change our name like that. We have to pay $10 and what we want might be taken.
1 -
I'd say people hold grudges after games definitely. I've had plenty of killers who would've brought really strong add-ons and old moris to kill me if I was in their lobby. Think everyone has this within them, just depends on how far you need to get pushed first.
I won't throw my game for anyone, no matter what toxic. I'd maybe consider doing it if I'm guaranteed losing the game and I know that the survivors altruism may get me an extra kill or 2. Generally though I don't care how toxic people are.
0 -
I do think my current one is the best one I've had- it's definitely up there, anyway
0 -
Yep thats a good one too. I use to get so much salt after games that I changed my GT from chargernick85 (had for 10 years damn near) to
DEADxBYxSALT. I thought is was fitting as someone is salty in every trial whether it's the survivors or me.
