Basement Bubbas and Survivors
Matter of fact is that basement bubba has become a very popular playstyle amongst the type of players that just enjoy making the match miserable for select individuals. These people do not care that basement camping will most likely cost them the match, that they will most likely not grade up, that they will most likely not get many bloodpoints. They just do not care.
So it would be nice if my fellow survivor players could make an effort to pay attention to the basement's location and try to stay away from it.
I know that those locations usually have the good loop spots, but you're not helping anyone if you're being camped in the basement all day. If you're being camped outside, there's usually a better chance at rescuing you or not going down against bubba's chainsaw, than compared to the choke point of the basement.
EDIT: I'm surprised how literally no-one got the point I was trying to make.
I don't give a damn about basement bubbas. If you're such inclined, camp away. If standing still for 2 minutes is fun to you, go ahead.
My point was that it would be nice if my fellow survivors could pay a little bit of attention to the basement location and ideally try to avoid going down close enough to it, that Bubba can take them down there. That's it.
This is merely a strategic suggestion, as it seems that every time I play with a basement cannibal, my fellow survivors seem intent to go down right atop the basement stairs.

I camp in basement with Bubba because it's fun. not to "make somebody else's time miserable" is it so bad to wanna play the way I want without somebody crying about it?

survivors have no control on where the killer is gonna hook them. I don't understand your logic.

Do you really thing it's fun to just stand still the whole match? Omg

I mean I think it is. I won't do it every match but yeah.

I will go and loop where I want. Maybe I want to go to the basement with Bubba, why do you care?

stop telling other people what you think fun is and admonishing them for not having Your fun.

Isn't that more like baby-tantrum Bubba instead of basement Bubba?

Yeah if I were a survivor and someone is going down to basement with Bubba I am not going down there lol slam gens and get out. Nothing feels better than having an entire team of survivors who have pretty much won blow it tryna save one person XD

I guess you can say the same about people who use Dead Hard after its recent buff. They just want to make the game miserable for the other side.

Agitation (especially when coupled with Iron Will) pretty much gets a survivor to the basement from nearly any point in a map, so if Bubba wants you there then there's not a great deal to do about it.
Unless I see evidence to the contrary that Bubba isn't there, I'll never rescue a survivor from the basement with him in-game. Best just crack on with the gens than be sucked into the Entity's equivalent of a Black Hole. More exciting doing gens than hanging around.

I think you meant Iron grasp?

When your fun is intentionally coming at the cost of others, yes
Also please tell me the appeal of standing still for 2 minutes, at that point Id rather just play survivor and sit on gens

Basement bubs counters SFW, speedhack, lagswitch and some ultra annoying stuff so if u want to get some kills and fun vs unfair players it's TOGO killer

I just find it fun. why does everything need a reason? not my fault it upsets people over how I choose to play a game
1 -
yes I do, do you think it's fun to complain about how other people choose to play a video game?
1 -
i mean do you at least make yourself a bowl of Ramen? Maybe grab a book? Put up a YT video on another monitor?
Or you deadass sitting there going like this?

It’s pretty fun to have a cocky survivor on hook as Bubba. The delicious salt you get for camping him postgame is worth every second spent.
And NO, there is no problem costing another player their “fun”. This game is in such a bad state for killers that a stress-free Bubba Camp game is needed here and there to relieve some stress.

I stand at the stairs spamming my chainsaw.

I like to smack the hooked survivor and nod.

As someone who has been playing more basement Bubba recently, the advice I would give to anyone who wants to see less basement action is...
In the end game, DON'T message the killer. Don't say anything. Just leave. In fact maybe say GG and leave.
Standing in the basement is NOT fun, but mining the salt from your tears at the end is.
So don't give Bubba the attention. Take your minutes on the hook like a champ, and move on.

I only do that if they were being mean.

To counter killers hitting you on the hook to make them more mad, run calm spirit as a meme because you dont scream when you get hit, it only now makes them hitting on you an absolute clown show as your other 3 team mates leave and they not getting that pleasure of you screaming in agony loooooool. Trust me the calm spirit meme works, I even had a face camper dc because he notice I was not screaming when he was hitting me on hook and my friends escape, vs bubba on a serious note I already avoid basements as far as possible when I know its him or trappy. It is nice to see a confession that apparently killers who are having a bad time is gonna result to a basement bubba finally the cat is out the bag.

If you were playing a solo video game, then you have the right to do whatever you want to do with that video game. However, you are choosing to play a video game with 4 other people.
Socially, what you are doing is going to dinner with 4 other strangers. While at the dinner table, you are choosing to insult them and spit in their food.
The reason you think it's ok in a video game is because you can hide behind the anonymity on the internet so that you can act like a barn animal without getting your butt kicked.

If they click or t-bag they get a guaranteed smack/nod.

Meh. I mean it's common sense not to press your luck at basement loops, but some players like to play risky. Personally, if a Bubba takes someone down the basement, they are already dead to me, especially when my kindred confirms they are camping down there, I still see you standing still for the time it takes insidious to work. I personally find the Bubba's that hide somewhere with insidious and scare the crap out of me far more fun, i ain't even mad at that point because jump scares are hilarious, but I suppose I get the appeal of just amusing yourself watching someone swing on a hook because they were dumb enough to go down there with a chainsaw wielding nutter. It's not something i'd do myself because, zzzzzzzzzzzzzz, but that's the thing with gaming, as long as you aren't breaking rules or being abusive in chat, each to their own is my philosophy. What killers do may not seem fun, but I'm pretty sure some things i do aren't much fun for the killer either.

Not really. Imma slap you on that hook. It's still funny, scream or not.

I don't mind if survivors click to get my attention, but when you do it constantly in my face the match ain't gonna well for you.

There is so much wrong with what you just said I don't even know where to begin. It's a ######### video game.

Now as a survivor main I can understand it vs a toxic survivor specially clicky clicky clicky click ones because I hate flashlights too as a survivor main ,another survivor doing it to me is grounds for me not wanting to help as a team mate I mean it, but what I do not get is the non toxic survivors who simply just did maybe great looping, the killer is still obessed chasing the god looper and gets a 5 gen run and the killer is face camping/hitting on hook on a non toxic. So am on both sides really , sure the toxic survivors really deserve it but the ones who are not toxic that is abit lame and its usually by noed bad killers that throws the most salt and gets their lucky hold my kid hand perk NOED down as a survivors is attempting to open gates to get out.

So, if you were sitting on a couch with 4 other strangers, playing Dead By Daylight. Would you take one of the strangers playing survivor to the basement, face-camp them and proceed to hit them while they are on the hook, not able to do something.
I think not. At least you wouldn't do it without getting into a fight.
2 -
Fair enough but getting that depip for that as kill as that same survivor single or even double pipped in the end am sure aint affect by that all if anything find it funny since they still know they have their pip in the bag and the other 3 left getting their pips as well. If anything its just hurting killers in the end more de pipping most likely.
0 -
I would, because they should understand it's a game, and you can play how you want. Sorry I don't take a video game seriously and think it has some real life implications that make me a bad person that would get beaten up.

Hitting people on a hook especially a non toxic survivor to me explain alot about that killers RL

Dude this forum is not filled with the brightest. The people who did understand your post went 'Mmm.', nodded, and moved on. Everyone else still remaining constitutes the dregs of DBD.

hitting somebody on hook means literally nothing. If a survivor thinks that it's "toxic" or bm then the issue isn't with the killer and maybe you should stop being so presumptuous about their personality. What makes hitting a survivor on hook toxic? what is it about that action that causes grief? For all you know the killer just wants to hear the sound of the survivor screaming, or the satisfying thwack of their weapon. Assuming peoples personality irl because of how they chose to play a game is incredibly nieve as fun is subjective. Just because you dont find fun what they do doesn't make them a toxic pos that lives in their mothers basement or some crap that survivors seemingly tend to associate with just playing a game.

Yeah its clear that all op is asking for is stay away from basements vs bubba or trappers but idk it then gets slam with killers bashing about why they hit on hook or ofc wierd survivors who took an offense to something claiming to not tell them how to play. It those same survivors who complain that team mates leave them on the hook to die by face camp bubba or trapper in basement. You bet I aint going out my way to save your behind if you wanna get caught at basement vs a trapper/bubba basement.

Sorry you apparently fail to see the part I mention about toxic survivors certainly deserves that, and I side with killer on that part with clicky clicky t bag etc of a toxic survivor, I am talking about non toxic survivors and obviously if its being done on a non toxic survivor it is a personality killer mad , I do not care how many time you or killer main try to defend this. Again ill say it for the 10 time, its acceptable on a survivor being a prick , I agree to it as as survivor main, I disagree with it on a none toxic survivor who simply 4 5 gen some poor gullible killer who insist to keep chasing that god looper and if some how do catch em at the last min(noed ofc most likely) and hitting that non toxic god looper then its a personal issue killer like it or not. Look at survivors who dc or kamikaze on hook on first down. On both sides it probably the way for a person to vent rather than throw their game systems and tv out the window so that I can see with hit hooking/survivors dc/kamikaze but meh I do not do any of this on either side.
Good killers NEVER face camp or hit on hook, some even have respect and let the last person that they see did well and was non toxic survivor either let em get hatch or pull the switch, I am never toxic to a killer cause its no reason to do so. I gotten plenty of respect from a killer even when I thought my fate is gonna be sealed after my third team mate dies that its hook time only to be given the escape please you deserve award. Also both sides need to stop being hypocrites for there is killers who are the reasons survivors are toxic, a killer who is bad and decide to be the tunneling type that down someone unlucky in 10 seconds put em on the hook already is hooking them and staring at them, if that survivor got down in 10 seconds, to me that survivor probably didnt even got a pallet hit or even have a flash light aka non toxic survivor
I had a match with my brother and 2 randoms as an example where a random feng got caught she had no flash light she was giving him a good chase causing 2 gen pops. trapper puts on hook keep hitting on hook I ran up with the other random and friend to lure him away, even go in his face to take a hit as someone else pulls her off ofc he didnt seem to wanna risk it. At the end ends up with me and one random who sadly we pop last gen she gets caught by trap ofc at that point I was unable to do anything much but to leave but overall that trapper from start was toxic

yes and I'm not talking about being a good or bad killer or caring about winning. I'm talking about doing what I find fun. If I face camp somebody I'm not doing because they looped me for 3 gens, or were or weren't flashlight clicking. I don't care how they played, I'm gonna camp them because I want to. I don't see why a survivor playing however well should determine how I WANT to play, who cares about what's most effective for the killer or fun for the survivor. I'll play how I find fun, that's what video games are about. Sometimes I just want to face camp.
You could be the nicest person on earth, play really well or poorly, do nothing "toxic" (which btw, I don't perceive anything like t-bagging or clicking etc toxic. If it's not hacking or harassing in chat, it's not toxic.) I will camp you if I want to. It has absolutely nothing to do with the game, it's just how I feel like playing that particular match. I'm not out to ruin somebodies experience, and if I do, that's not my issue. I didn't choose to make them upset, they choose to get upset over how somebody else played.
So why should I be judged for how I WANT to play, Why is it that I should be forced into a playstyle I don't wanna play because of what somebody else did? It makes no sense. I'm not breaking any rules, I'm not cheating, I'm not hurting their feelings or calling them out. I'm simply playing the game my way. There's no malicious intent, there's no wanting salt. There's only my enjoyment factor. Because again, I play video games for fun. And what I find fun may not be what others find fun and that's ok. Just don't judge people based on how they want to play a game. There's nothing that deep to it.

Would you let me choose the 4 strangers that sit on the couch with you and allow me to record the video of you face-camping and laughing at them for youtube? Also, the location would be a cabin in the woods somewhere.

I'm going to judge you for how you like to play because it's skill-less and zero fun for anyone but you, and in conjunction with your repeated statements that you're playing a video game so nothing matters, including the other people playing the video game, I think you're self-centered and lack empathy.
Still, that's the opinion of a random person on the internet. You can still do it, nobody's gonna stop you... but you don't have the right to not be judged for it. People can judge you for whatever they want, and when you play in a way that absolutely nobody likes to go against because it wastes the time of all people involved and prevents them from playing the game 'the way they want to', people are going to be unhappy. It's that simple. You can do what you want, but you can't control people's reactions to it. Man up and deal with it. Embrace it if you have to. But none of this 'wah, you're all wrong for being salty when I waste your offerings and don't let you do anything.'
But in any case, that's not what the OP is saying. Unfortunately, Agitation/Iron Grasp is a staple of the basement Bubba build and you have to be very far from the basement for this to work. If you're on a map like Rotten Fields, RIP.

Oh my, you really hate campers huh? Well fine, judge me all you like, but at the end of the day, I'm not the one getting angry or upset over how others chose to enjoy their time.
"you can't control people's reactions to it" you're right, I'll leave my trial with a smile on my face while others decide to cry about how somebody they're never going to meet again ruined their life.

If people would stop falling for it, bubbas would stop doing it.

Your 'point' isn't made because you couch it in strawmen and salt.
Basement builds are one of the most relaxing ways to play, and depending on your personal 'rules of the basement' a lot of us chill with survivors down there just fine - some nice ambience, knowing the survivors above get some points, knowing you're gonna get a little for your time but being okay without a lot, knowing that if you get a visitor they're either gonna meme with you or throw a tantrum for your amusement...
..but personally, if you touch the box, I'm coming for you, your family, and your internet provider.

I have the same. It disappoints me how, during the camp, my teammates waste time and do not fix generators, but try to save and fall into a trap. In addition, as a rule, in such a game, I get a maximum of 5k bp, which is also bad, because I waste my time on the game.

You can always ALT+TAB out and stick on some youtube, read some educational articles or something.
