What's Okay, and What's Not

Is it bad that I recognize all of these points just from thread's title? I usually don't open salty post, but damn, do I know all of these.

Yeah, they're common refrains killers hear. Today was actually better than most, and out of around 20 games, I was only cursed at three times. That's pretty good for me. It's usually at least half if I don't dodge SWF.

So, I've collected a lot of feedback from survivors I've faced in Dead by Daylight, and this is what is okay and what isn't okay to play when you start your lobby. I thought I'd include this here for new killers, so you don't suffer through all the mean comments you'll get after the match.

First off, here are the killers you can and cannot play:

• Nurse is out, unless it's your first time playing her, then it's okay. But no more than 5 matches, ever.
• Hillbilly you can play, but only if you also bring a Lery's or Ormond offering. Otherwise, he's out. Especially if you ever bring instant chainsaws or the drift king build; those are very bad to play.
• Spirit is likewise out, and especially so if you bring Prayer Beads Bracelet. Don't play her.
• Legion is very much not okay to play, under any circumstances, with any build, at any time. If you even bought that killer or the DLC, you should uninstall immediately and then Kermit yourself.
• Leatherface is toxic! Even if you don't bring insidious, or camp hooks, he's toxic just because. No, he's not a super awesome killer, but still, super toxic!
• Freddy is annoying, you shouldn't play him. Sure, he's the worst killer, but still, you shouldn't play Freddy ever.
• Doctor is out, UNLESS you message each survivor and tell them to bring Calm Spirit, then he's okay. But only then!
• Clown is bad: people don't like their vision going all squiggly, or that he's good in chases. Don't play Clown unless you're prepared to pay the survivors' optometrist bill after!
• Hag is really bad! Not as bad as Legion, but still, very bad to play. You shouldn't play her unless you're not going to plant any traps.
• Myers is okay under certain circumstances, but never with Scratched Mirror and Monitor and Abuse. That's just mean! He's scary and this isn't a horror game! Also, you shouldn't pop Evil Within 3 right before you hit someone. You should pop it at max distance and then catch up to them so they have a fair chance to drop a pallet.
• Wraith and Pig are okay to play, but not if you're going to use their stealth against the survivors. That's not nice! You shouldn't crouch as the Pig or cloak as the Wraith unless the survivors can clearly see where you are and what you're doing!
• Trapper and Huntress are both fair game, until you get too good with hatchets, at which point you need to retire your Huntress. Also, don't plant traps below windows, in grass, or in pathing choke points. They're harder to avoid there, so don't do it.

So, now that you know who you can play, let's move on to how you can play.

You'll notice some survivors start the match with weird claws or branches around their names. Ignore that, it doesn't mean anything special. Oh, okay, you got me! Unless you're running an obsession perk, it means the survivor is, and most of the time it's Decisive Strike. That's a survivor perk that allows them to jump off your shoulder and stun you. It's a perk usually run by bad survivors who see it as their only chance to escape you.

You might also discover that it takes them a few seconds after being picked up to activate the perk and escape you. You should simply stand still and let them do it. It isn't mean or toxic of them to do it, it's their only chance to win, after all! Never repeatedly drop them on the way to a hook, this is known as dribbling or juggling, and it's SUPER toxic. Don't do that. They don't try to avoid your traps or anything, so you shouldn't try to avoid their DS. Also, it's unacceptable to slug them, or simply let them bleed out on the floor. That's very mean, and you should never do it.

You may also find out that there are 7 generators on every map, but the survivors only have to complete five of them. You might think it's a good idea to play defensively in the area of the three closest generators, and let the other four go. That's bad. Very bad! That's gen camping, and it doesn't allow the survivors to complete their objectives, so you shouldn't do that.

Speaking of camping, you'll find out pretty quick that camping someone on the hook is something only people who should kill themselves do. Instead, as soon as you put someone on the hook, you should cross to the other end of the map. Don't worry if there aren't any survivors or generators there, it's what the best players do. That gives other survivors the chance to pull their teammate off the hook.

At that point, it's okay to return to the area, given you take your time getting there, but if you find the same survivor who was just pulled off the hook, it is not okay to hit them again. Ever. That's called tunneling, and only players who live in their mom's basement and have never had sex do that. Even if they're the only survivor you can find, even if they are the only injured survivor and hitting them would seem to make tactical sense, it isn't okay.

It won't take long before you notice strange twitches among other players too. They have a medical condition which causes them to repeatedly hit their crouch key. You'll hear some people call this teabagging, a sexual term derived from a man squatting over a someone and dipping his testicles into their mouth, like you might dip a teabag into a mug. That isn't at all what the survivor is imitating, and they certainly aren't trying to insult you: it's a nervous twitch. It would be very wrong for you to take it as an insult and punish them for it in the match.

Also, flashlights are a survivor's only defense from you! Yes, it's annoying, but it isn't like they begin the match with all the momentum, or have pallets, windows, loops, med kits, perks or anything else to defend themselves with. If a survivor moves in front of you with a flashlight, you should stand still and let them flashlight you. Never face a wall, and never bring Franklin's Demise with you into the match! It isn't fair!

After the Match

If you do very well during the match, and kill all four survivors, especially if you do it quickly, never use the acronym "gg," or "good game." It isn't nice to compliment people when they lose. Instead, inform the other players that you'll be putting your head in the oven, since you obviously hacked and cheated during the game.

I hope you've enjoyed these tips to making your Dead by Daylight experience more enjoyable for everyone! Except you. Oh, that's the last rule: the killer is always wrong and isn't supposed to have fun. ENJOY!

Nah, just shows how the most pampered of the community can't have enough in-game and out-game advantages while saying only killers want easy games. Like spoiled kids
