Mate you are obessed with toxicity, tapping your mouse once to cancel the scream in your ear phones has nothing to do with toxicity.

Heck even if a killer wants to stand their smacking you it just doesn't matter, its only a game. If getting stuck with a camping killer who taps their rmouse at you for the duration of a hook is the worst thing that happens to you in a day, you are one of the luckiest people on the planet.

The term toxicity gets misused so much by the player base of this game its lost all meaning. Its now just a buzz word used by anyone who gets upset. Something happens in game they don't like it must be a toxic ploy to ruin their fun.

The only thing toxic here is that mindset because its just you upsetting yourself over nothing. Its random online PVP you are going to play with people who have a different ideas of what's fun.

Saying "I don't find this fun" is different from saying "this is toxic," the two terms aren't exchangable and if you think they are then you have a warped idea of what real toxicity is.

I'm not a fan of obnoxious play but I'll defend anyones right to play the game however they like because its within the confines of the rules and I don't get to dictate to others how they have fun.

If they find it fun to flashlight click and get in my face as survivor that's fine.

If they find it fun to burn out a survivor as quickly as possible to get it to 3v1 asap then that's fine.

If they want to try and milk points at endgame by not leaving till the last micro-second of EGC that's fine.

If they enjoy playing for hook exchanges and basement builds over chasing that's fine.

I don't do a lot of these things I'm not a big fan of some of them, I say some because I enjoy a good basement build, but I don't like to hang around in the EGC as survivor. Whether or not I do them is irrelvent though, because my fun doesn't dictate other people's fun. <-the take home message.

That's the social element of it being online PVP, it will be a mix of people who'll want different things out of their game experience and just because their version of fun isn't your version of fun doesn't make it toxic.

Maybe they find it thematic and fun to play out the persona of the vicious killer.

It doesn't have to provide an advantage to be not toxic or even fun, to quote a great android "ah fun the employment of time in a profitless and non practical way"

I'd love there to be a solo play mode with bots so I didn't have to consider anyone else's feelings with respect to my gameplay because I personally like everyone to have fun, but I'm in no way obligated to make the game fun for you or vice versa and there is nothing toxic about that.

Head to head competitive fun will often come at the expense of the opponent's game experience, but do you expect people in a PVP FPS to not shoot you because you just spawned and will miss out on the fun no, that's nuts. You are gonna get shot and die, sometimes quickly its part of the game.

You are gonna get killed in dbd, you are gonna get camped, tunneled, blinded, stunned, eliminated, no kills, gen rushed, looped, bled out, its just part of the game. Players may taunt and trash talk, point, nod, smack people on hook its all just part of the game.

You may not always find it fun but thats the risk of playing with strangers online their fun may not be your fun, but that doesn't make it a toxic attack on your fun, you are doing that to yourself by getting upset over it.

That’s what I mean by deflection.

you can either deal with it like an adult or be grumpy and continue to call people scumbags and toxic because you didn’t have fun.

As I’ve said personal growth moment. *Shrug*
