Seems too good to be true…
Does anyone else feel really uncomfortable when the killer is being nice? Ive had some nice matches when they are friendly but I usually just keep to myself and try and just do generators. Ive seen matches where survivors are goofing around with the killer while Im doing Gens all by myself and once I have completed them all (Alone) the Killer hooks and kills them all! Luckily I manage to get out a few times either hatch or gates because everyone else is now in a frenzy because the killer is out for blood. It makes me so uncomfortable because I always feel its a jerk who loves to fake it and just kill everyone at the end. I dont mind loosing but that just seems so shady.

Whilst that might sometimes be the case there are also killers that like to meme and goof around a bit; for example, GF and Demopup.

Sometimes when I play killer, I remember we are all playing a video game. If the survivors dont trust me? I get it lol

Every time. I get really nervous because I know they could attack at any moment. Usually they have rancor or something.

I usually do the gens and get out as well.
However I can say, as a killer I do play "nice" when events are happening, I just want to 1 or 2 hook everyone for BP. I have literally had survivors leave someone else on the hook for the entire 2 hook states til dead even though I'm nowhere near the hook the entire time.
I can't unhook them myself.

Killers tend to be pretty vicious, so I tend to be nice. You know, give the survivors a break from time to time. Sometimes it's nice to have a heal party match every so often.
Normally I do a normal match and give hatch, but if the survivors are having a rough time, like 0 or 1 gens completed and they are on death hooks, I usually let the last two survivors out the gate so they didn't have a completely miserable experience.

When I play friendly, I have ONE trigger that will make me kill everyone.
If we're done farming, and they refuse to leave once I open the gates and They wait out the timer... I DO run Blood Warden. I usually never hook people during farming games, so they never suspect that one random hook in end game.
NEVER trust friendly killers >:D

Same here 🙂 Ive never hosted a party match but Ive done several matches when I just double hook everyone then leave them alone. Just let them finish. Omg Last night I had this really annoying Jake and I finally downed him along with Dwight the Dwight was a good player but not at all annoying. There they were both dying state and I felt bad so I picked up the Dwight and let him pick up Jake and get out. At the end of the match at the gates we both kinda nodded like “Good match”. I thought that was kinda cool lol

One of the oldest tricks on the book the "wholesome honest and friendly Killer... with NOED, No Way Out, Rancor and Blood Warden" or "Le funny memeing AFK daddy Myers with Tombstone+Tuft", sometimes friendly Killers are just friendly Killers but I believe is better to just get rid of the totems, then fix the gens, open the gates and get away.

I dont like when Survivors let their teammate just die like that. I know Ive been in matches like that and those survivors I have no problem putting them down.

I let the last survivor go in one of 4 scenarios
- The game was a stomp and i feel bad
- The last survivor outplays me in a stupid way
- Hatch spawns right next to them after i down them, thus signalling that RNGesus has blessed them and i need to respect that
- The last survivor does something hilarious
If they don't trust me i completely understand it, but i always let them go, even if i have to forcefully drag them to the exit gates

I respect u my friend.

Never had any complain. I usually even get some trinket.
What makes me uncomfortable is when survivors are "playing nice". (e.g. pity kill) thankfully it doesn't even happens once a year.

I often play friendly as killer, because it makes me crack up actually playing WITH the survivors. I'll put on the Legion Bunny Suit, and try to organise a parkour race if I can find enough pallets and windows in a single place...
I have adopted A LOT of survivors at this point. I'm just soft-hearted.
Reasons I've adopted survivors in the past :
- - They spawned weirdly close to me and clearly didn't expect me to find them in 6 seconds.
- - They were hiding in such an obvious spot (think the thinnest bush there is) yet I didn't see them for so long that when I finally notice them we're both laughing behind our monitors. (in that case, I hit and leave, and it sometimes evolves into some kind of 'hide and seek' where the survivor tries to find increasingly stupid places to hide and I try to find them. Bonus point if they're a SWF and try to one up each other. That's actually how I met some friends I play with now)
- - They did a sh*t pallet in a funny way (like, brought down the pallet but stayed on the same side I was on)
- - They were nice to me (In my first killer game on Midwich, I was stuck downstairs because I couldn't find stairs. A survivor came to find me and guide me with emotes)
- - [Specifically when I play Hag, my other main] : When they've obviously never gone against Hag and keep walking in my traps. I'm talking like, that one survivor who's been on hook twice already and that keeps running into me or setting off my traps. I'll set up my traps behind them again and leave them be.
I often get a least one wary survivor, but if I already offered to be friendly to them (already brought them to a gen instead of hooking them) I don't get back on my word, I'll let them go.
Favourite map to be friendly on : Temple of Purgation. I just think it's really funny giving a second chance by letting the survivor wiggle out while standing still in the middle of the temple.
Funniest endgame chat I got doing this kind of things : Survivors role playing that they're auditionning to join the Legion
Anyway, sorry for that brick of a comment ! I'm sorry some a*holes made you uncomfortable with friendly killers, but just know that there are genuinely chill killers who actually have fun letting survivors go.
Hope you have fun in your next games !

The most "betrayal"-ish thing I might do is when I decide to give hatch to a survivor. Usually I decide to do so when I have clearly won, ie chased them and downed them. I then stand a couple of seconds over them, looking down on their broken form and reflecting on the cool way they juked me or something. Then I'll pick them up and spin around in a circle till they wriggle out.
Usually they then thank me by crouching exactly twice or doing a longer kneel and we head out, looking for he hatch together.
But sometimes they don't thank me and immediately run off. This actually hurts my big, killer heart and triggers my hunting instinct, so I trt to down them again, shake my head and give them another chance to show proper etiquette. If they run off immediately again, if I down them before they get the hatch I'll hook them.
I kmow that's kinda weirdly specific, but eh, most survivors get it. If the survivor in question is an obvious newbie of course I cut them some slack and just scare them by chasing them to the hatch and whiffing a lot. Lol.
And there was this one time when I insisted on carrying the downed survivor to the hatch. We made two full rounds over all of Dead Dogs and couldn't find the hatch, so I just hooked them. Lol. I felt bad, but watcha gonna do?

As survivor it depends on my mindset. If I actually want to survive I'm extremely vary of friendly killers and will try to remove myself from the farming/Memeing location regularly to get rid of bones & try to be out of reach when the last gen pops. I usually also walk to the other exit gate.
However, if I'm in a match without caring mutch about the result anyway I just embrace the goofing around and the wary tingle in the back of my head that once last gen pops playtime may be over. Which is hilarious in its own regard.
As killer I sometimes just feel like goofing around as ghostie or piggie. As Billy I prefer trying to make full chainsaw laps around the map and then zoom into the exit gates once they're opened. And as huntress I sometimes get myself in a spot where I can hit long distances and try to get trick long shots. - Scratch Myers is also on the list purely for the jumpscares but I don't really know how to pull that off yet. Survivors doing hilarious things also sometimes makes me turn friendly regardless of the killer I play. I just can't kill survs that make me crack up. -- Last surv also always gets hatch as long as I have noticed them doing anything useful at all.

If that happens when I am trying to play nice, the moment someone dies on hook for no reason I go out for blood. Either all of them get out or none if I can help it.
Don’t leave teamates to die people!
