The survivor entitlement is simply unreal
Today I just played a match as wraith vs SWF. I have to admit, it was an amazing match. They knew all the pallet placements in Lery's and they knew how to loop and bait me out of my power. They were smart but with intelligence comes arrogance and I used this at my advantage. I manage to down a survivor after a wild chase when I suddenly heard footsteps. I knew someone was prepared to flashlight save his friend but I checked and managed to hit David and scared him away. Now that I hooked the survivor, I try to be as fair as possible and I ended up getting stacks of Devour. Now, it's pretty damn hard to find totems in this map and they probably didn't bother to find the Hex totem since it's not a threat to them, yet, and they rather focus on finishing the generators as quickly as possible. One by one, they fall down like a stack of cards. They were exposed. Their other friends desperately trying to find and cleanse the totem but it was no use. I managed to down 3 survivors as I left them on the ground bleeding to my luck they had no unbreakable. The last one almost cleansed my totem until I hit him at the last second of cleansing Devour.
Now, that was a glorious match but when I downed all of them, they all disconnected. You know what happened next, right? Yeah, the chat was full of anger, calling me the worst killer and saying that I need to kill myself soon and hope that my entire family dies of cancer. Their ego exploded into million pieces. They want all the killers to be nerfed and they complained about everything how this game is killer sided.
This has happened ever since after the update started and these guys weren't the only ones who berated and threatened me to kill me and my whole family. I'm sick of survivors entitlement and their screwed up mentality.
What the hell is the matter with you?

Eh... Survivor entitlement is definitely an underrepresented topic; however, I think the losers threatening you are not really a prime example of that in particular. Perhaps they were also entitled survivors... But you know, not every entitled survivor is a complete baby raging psychopath. Conflating the two is a bit unnecessary.

There are bad people in every group, it's not just a survivor thing. That being said there's no excuse for that kind of behaviour.

Entitlement is just something you can find in any video game community. I would argue there is no reason to even distinguish between survivor and killer entitlement.

I hope you have reported them appropriately.

Why so defensive? Killers can be toxic but to be fair i have never come across a killer that has told me to kill myself or wish harm to my family because they lost a game. Sure i come across mainly the ones with egos that go on about EZ and tell me to get gud etc but never wish harm to me or family.
I mainly see it in my time as playing both sides from survivors even ones that i have teamed up with while in soloq. In general everybody killer or survivor should be better to each other, but it will never happen because most that do this are weak and lack any form of self respect because they are anonymous and their are no consequences to their childish behavior.

I've been told to off myself in various descriptive ways literally hundreds of time on DBD.
From Survivors and Killers.

that sucks man nobody should be dealing with that i never said it doesn't happen just has not occured as bad for me from other killers to the extent of wishing harm more so just the egotistacal dopes who enjoy flexing.
Either way not condoning the behavior it really should not occur i have unfollowed streamers for being toxic in streams etc i have very little time for that garbage. I get being angry at the game nobody likes losing but hate the game not the player never attack the player you never know what that person is dealing with on the other side..
Yes i get that it will always be that way it is simple maths more of one side yes as i said above it sucks nobody deserves it bud and i am not condoning it either so not sure how many times i gotta say it :) but yeah hope you dont have to go through that too often not all us killers or survivors are that toxic...
1 -
Yeah, that's what I was always concerned about.
You never know what someone else is going through and to push them over the edge...
I don't know how you handle that, honestly. The people saying it are probably just kids, like 13 or 14.

Me as a killer i just move on say GGWP and hit continue or if i get too many i simply close the end game chat so i dont even see it and just hit continue i do not indulge them with a reaction because that is what they are after. Be the better person i say and ignore it if people return the toxicity it just gets worse and worse and we are no better than they are.
1 -
I used to try to talk to them and get them to see how they might hurt people. I'm ashamed to say I was one of those kids once too. I didn't grasp that my words held power nor did I particularly care.
Talking to them never really worked out and it started to weigh on me heavily. I eventually just turned off all of my messages.
2 -
You did the right thing just turning them off, I had to do the same thing. This game really gets people heated for the stupidest reasons you're better off without the hate.
0 -
I'm, unfortunately, well aware.
I'm in a better spot mentally now so I turned my messages back on. My friends and I get a good laugh about them every once in a while.

Mad respect for owning your behaviour in the past and realising the damage it can cause it takes a lot for somebody to admit their faults and to actually change it for the better. Talking to them does nothing but stress you out they do not care what you got to say to them its a reaction they are after and you talking to them gives them that knowledge that they got to you.
I feel bad for the adults that do this as they should know better at least if its a kid they have the excuse of immaturity and most likely will grow out of it but adults they know better and should really check themselves.

Most of them talked like girls I overheard in Starbucks, which makes me question many things.
But yeah, I was an ######### at 13 and didn't know how to manage pain very well. I'm glad that I can do it a lot better these days because if I kept my ability to manage pain at 13 to my current self six years down the road, I'd be a ######### nightmare.
But yeah, I try to be better and to help people instead of hurt them. Maybe I can make up for the things I've said in the past, who knows.
1 -
That is all you can do is try nothing more, and sometimes you gotta let the past be the past cant change what has happened but can only change what your doing right now :)

I'd be salty from an all-slugs as well, but they were out of line taking it in postgame chat with actual insults and threats.

I’ve been told to “hang from a tree” by a legion because he did poorly and I gave him a kill.

Tragically your own experience doesn't match with the majority. If I had to count how many times I've been told something reportable (ie. slurs, hope your family dies, "Hey I know you from the Forums really glad your boyfriend died of cancer btw") by killers I'd run out of digits before hitting 10%. Same with survivors. Both sides contain awful, horrific people. Stop making this us vs them.
1 -
Why am i not surprised by these i think i get told to kill myself at least once a week.....smh it is just a game, makes me wonder how these people act in real life outside the game it does show the character of the person. Let us hope they grow up and mend their ways

Did they really day that about your boyfriend?
I'm so sorry

A Pyramid Head lost quite badly so I asked if he wanted some advice since I played him a lot. Really not the greatest build (Brutal Strength on Pyramid Head, lmfao). He then asked if I was GBK on the Forums, I said yeah, and then he said more or less that with a couple more... Choice, words, shall we say.
Fun experience, 10/10 would recommend.

Dear God people are terrible. Right after you tried to be helpful

I've seen killers who immediately DC because their Devour/Ruin got cleansed in the beginning of the game as well. Entitled people exist in both sides.

Show me exactly where i made it out to be Us versus them ? I think your just fishing for a argument to be honest as nowhere did i say anything that it was just one side, you also failed to show my other posts that stated that it does happen on both sides i just stated that in my experience i have gotten it mainly on the killer side from survivors, I never stated it did not occur on the killer side so maybe you need to stop trying to make it a Us versus Them issue.
I wish people would read and include everything instead of picking one single post and then take it completely out of context seriously stop being one of those guys....
Maybe i shall quote my other post just so you can see it and yet again read that i am only sharing my experience not at all stating that it never happens on the killer side just that i have not come accross it as a survivor maybe because i do not play that much as a survivor either. Stop trying to take what i say and twist it to something that i am definatly not trying to do seems more like your the one that is attempting that here.

I don't know guys. lately I don't see so much anger in endgame chat as I saw before.
Seriously.
I mean long ago I was given a huge storm of insults every single time I killed all the survivors, and in many different languages. Nowadays, they say mostly GG and move on. in the last 20 games I was having just only one salty guy with anger issues in the endgame chat. Something like "Are all Wraith players cowards and trash?" L2P and all that stuff he was going on and on. One guy from teh team only. Well I'm no wraith player, I switch killers depending on my mood but yeah :))
In any case the endgame rage is quite rare these days as I see

It is a 5 person game. No matter how small the group, someone has to be the poop.

Just turn off end game chat. Nothing good ever comes out of it.

It is not just Survivors.
From the countless insults I have received in the end game chat, several of them came from salty killers.

On a tangent I’ve thought something similar for a long time. If you figure 5-10% of people as total ######### and you play with four random people per match then you should expect to encounter one of these jerkwads every three to five games or so, and assuming you win half the time and they get really angry when they lose you’ll get a bad outburst every six to ten games. So I’d be surprised if we didn’t see this type of negative behavior as often as we do.
Of course, the flip side is 10% of people are super nice and chatty, so every few games you should encounter someone like that too. And in fact I do have good quick backs and forths with some people. But human nature being what it is you tend to remember getting really mad at someone insulting you more than you remember someone politely saying “Hi thanks for the game!” Also polite people don’t ruin games by ragequitting, so their impact of the match itself is also less directly noticeable.
So I don’t know if DbD actually has worse people in chats than other competitive multiplayer games, it could just be some people are jerks and when you play against a bunch of them at a time you’ll run into them periodically. 🤷♂️
