A pretty rare occurrence of nice survivor.
A day or two ago, I was playing as Huntress on Haddonfield and I was aware my opponents weren't too experienced (200 to 600 hours). These mismatches happen late at night and as usual in these cases, I settled for just pushing them a bit. I was "forgetting" to hook, trying trick-shots instead of sure-shots and so on. I only hooked each of them once.
When all gens were done, I've downed one and hooked him to test their end-game save skills but it didn't go as planned as the hooked survivor killed himself instead (kind of disappointing given how careful I was)
I chased the survivors back to the gates to end the match, left while they could heal get a bit more points and alt-tabbed on YouTube.
When I alt-tabbed back, one survivor had offered me a kill. Beside how funny it was that they didn't realize I was playing nice, this rare occurrence of a survivor giving a kill was kind of impressive.
It's so rare.

I tend to sacrifice myself if someone is learning a high skill killer such as billy or slinger and are clearly new to them.
Billy mains deserve the world

That's always very cute ! It's adorable that they offered that in good faith as they thought you really were new. (It's also very cute that you went easy on them !)
I had a similar case a few days ago, I was playing Legion on Swamp and the survivors three-genned themselves pretty badly. It was only two Bills left. One of them was still trying to do the gens, and I'm pretty sure he was on death hook, but even using frenzy, I couldn't find the other (had run to the other side of the map to wait for hatch). I decided to only use the Bill who tried as a killer instinct-enabler to find the other. Since I had decided I wanted this Bill to live, I just ran around the map to find the other one.
In the end, the cool Bill finished the gen and opened the gate/left, and the other Bill eventually came out of hiding to offer me a kill as he saw I let the other go and thought I deserved my 3K.
On the other side, I pretty much always offer a kill to new nurses who've had a bad match. I've ran into a LOT of nice nurses, so I have a soft spot for them.

I had a huntress a couple days ago who was headed for a 0k but I was partly being nice and partly making sure I got my chase challenge done so ran back into the map during EGC and got her attention for some more chasing.
Once she did catch me she threw me out the exit gate anyway which is what usually happens if I try to give killers a freebie. I do the same as killer yet I won't turn down a free hatch as survivor, idk why

I played a Billy match yesterday and it was Cowshed but the match was like really fun.
The Survivors were good, I've managed some nice curves and that Jonah really digged it in the end game chat, telling me that I made sick curves and once I derusted it was over for them xD
Mind me, I didn't play Billy for months. It didn't feel like a forced M1illy game. And later I played Dredge and that match was a s***show xD.

My SWF teammate and I used to give killers kills all the time back during ranked matchmaking because odds were we would still pip or atleast safety pip. Now it's rare we'll do it with SBMM because we already rarely escape.

There is a chance that could have been me not entirely sure but when I play huntress I am not going for kills unless doing a challenge for kills because I am trying to finish the down 100 survivors from further than 24m I suck as huntress lol

I can't remember the survivor I was playing but it was an autohaven map and I had OoO I believe
1 -
Not sure if I was on auto haven recently played a lot of huntress farm games trying to get people to help with that achievement challenge (41/100) I usually run hex pentimento and distressing (pentimento being a good farm for survivors for extra totem cleansing points)
1 -
probably not actually I think I would've noticed a huntress with distressing
Is that the long range down achievement? I think I have 1/100 and I might've been aiming for a survivor in front of me rather than the one at the other end of the map 😅

Yeah the skilled huntress trophy/achievement I can't get it done very well cause I suck at hatchet plays (kind of how I suck with flashlights) there is no cursor to give me an idea of where I am throwing and because I am using console it is harder to aim than on PC

I'm a nice survivor, why do i never get matched up with killers like you :( need to make my sessions late night ha

You'll get better at it. I absolutely suck at flashlight yet I got the hatchet achievement and I regularly get cross-map hits. It went better from around the10k hatchets thrown. Practice make perfect.

I used to like giving a kill if I felt the killer played really fair/fun or if something unfair happened to them (bad map, nasty teammates), but my escape rate has gone so low that my MMR can't afford it anymore. It's a damn shame, because this game can feel very thankless at times and a bit of goodwill goes a long way towards healing that.

most people probably think im a jerk because of my posts and the way i play, but I will give kills if my teammates bm at endgame, if the killer tried his best and never played like a jerk then why bm? most of the games the killer is either really bad or they chase me and lose, when my teammates die quickly. Or if the killer is bad and they are playing a killer i love or i feel bad for looping them ill give them kills, i remember facing a couple starting nurses who just gave up because they didnt know what to do so I let them kill me and got my friend to come over and farm hooks with her.
regardless of how I play or my willingness to be a jerk to win I do feel sympathy XD

Excuse my UsVsThem, but quite a difference that killera are expected to be content with 3 kills while nobody expects of a survivor to just not escape through the open gate, isnt it?

I usually get a survivor or multiple survivors sacrificing themselves about 1 in 8-10 games. I tend to let them all go after death hook if someone DCs or offs themself first hook, and I'll help them farm or do challenges while waiting for the gens. It's not unusual to get a sacrifice for helping them out, and since DCs are so common these days, it creates a lot of opportunities. I get plenty of BP for it and usually some wholesome interactions so it works for me.

I've players against many nice killers. I don't think it's rare. Yesterday night I've played with friends. I'm ~3k hours, two of them don't even pass the 50 hours : too big of a difference for a good MMR I suspect. The killers were consistently too strong for us (I'm not good enough to carry) and we got blasted pretty fast. Hatch was given every time.

I wouldn't call it a "us vs them". I don't think it's that. And I'm not sure how to explain it.
When I play killer, I don't mind giving the hatch, maybe because the trial is basically over at that point. At worst I lose a few points and maybe a pip.
When I play survivor though, it feels ... weird. It's still me, just in a different role. We'd need a psychologist to get some hypothesis about why.

It's the same in my experience. If I had to guess, it's because a survivor gets way more points for escaping than a killer does for a single hook. Also, MMR dropping for survivors is a bad thing while for killers it's a good thing, but that's a newer consideration and the accept/reject dynamic's been like that for as long as I can remember.
For me, just the gesture is enough - I don't need the kill, but it's the thought that counts and it's nice to know they noticed/cared. I once had a game in Azarov's where I got looped to hell and back in that middle section, and when I did get a down, someone got a fairly BS sideways flashlight save on me. I can count on one hand the number of games I've given up, but after that combination of events, I was done enough to go into a corner and wait. At the endgame I heard movement, and another survivor had gone up to me and offered her item, and led me to a hook. I didn't take it, but it cheered me right up and I was chill to give her a few pallet stuns.
