Attention Killers : Stop picking favorites to let escape. You're making people feel terrible

I agree working with the killer is bad. That qualifies as working with the killer. That is against the rules. I do not participate in this practice from either side. This specifically should be discouraged and possibly banned.

But correlating all of that to the "culture of letting people go" feels like a stretch to me. If your post was "Killers stop working with survivors just because you like them" I'd agree with you.

But no you're discouraging being a good sport, and expressing a nice gesture to the last survivor all because it's unfair to you.

When I let a final player go it's not because I specifically like them. Sometimes they're just the last in a team I thought played well. No insult to the ones who got sacrificed.

I got news for you, it doesn't matter what we do. If we 4k, we are terrible sweatlords who have no lives and the only pleasure we get out of life is making it impossible for survivors to win a game. If we get our points for the match by getting everyone on deathhook and then show mercy by letting everyone go, then we are somehow terrible killers that should immediately uninstall the game and go play hello kitty island. Now apparently, if we give hatch we are monsters because we are somehow crushing the other three survivors self-esteem.

Look, the reality is in 600 hours of playing a pretty merciful killer, the number of negative chat interactions I've gotten can be counted on one hand and NONE of them were related to me letting someone go. On the other hand, I've gotten hundreds of positive chat interactions, so I don't think me letting someone go is really causing a lot of problems for the majority of survivors I face.

The onyl thing i like to add here, some killers think its the other guy who's a snitch, while hiding so the killer teams up with the "non snitch" to get that guy out.

Other of that, its ok when the killer picks a favourite.

Its just funny if you loop a killer all game and he wants to kill you to give the hatch to a guy, who didnt do a single gen. XD Thats the only thing frustrating, cause it feels like the other didnt deserve it at all.

This party game was intended for people to have fun. If one person gave me a fun experience and someone else didn't, I'm going to pick favorites to reward.

Edit: The idea is Carrot and Stick. Carrot for the fun player to incentivize more, and Stick for the unfun player, to disincentivize their actions.

I do whatever is fastest. If I have won I typically give hatch because the 2 min of back and fourth between each door for a survivor that may or may not be trying to even open a door is boring af. Especially in this survivor "Culture" of not even attempting a door. I won who ever is left gets hatch idc.

Shrugs

I calls it like I sees'em

If I'm wrong, so be it

For people to realize this, killers complain that the game is survivor sided, but if the game was really survivor sided why do they need to let one of them escape, and most complaining is for not getting 4 kills, then the game is not so survivor sided as they say, like, "ah the game's ta izi, I'll leave an escape to show that I'm good!" , then they face a strong SWF, they come in complaining, can you understand?

Or... just don't take it personally and move on to the next game. It's not like it happens constantly. Some of my favorite moments are when the killer decides to let someone go at the end because they're cute and gifted them a medkit or something. I couldn't care less if it was me or the next guy.

Griefing can happen in all multiplayer games, Dead by Daylight has its fair share of poor and frustrating behavior from players. It's part of the game, we all know this.

If it interferes with your experience to the point where you aren't having fun, then just don't launch the game. "You're making people feel terrible" - nah dude take some personal responsibility. If other people in an online space are "making you feel" any type of way, then you're giving them far too much power over you, and you'll continue wading through misery. I'll never understand people choosing to play a multiplayer game, then getting upset because they can't control the actions of other players.

You do you. But you don't do them.

If there is a Yui in my killer lobby, she escape.

Except that your very first para is discussing the simple act of letting the last survivor go, not the scenario depicted here so...you can't blame anyone for having an adverse reaction. Not to mention, all killers no longer giving hatch is not going to stop the toxic type players from picking a survivor to work with or having a friend as a survivor just get off scott free.

Why punish the few nice gestures killers get to give, because of the few that like to be butt hats?

Just report the killers that actively work with survivors to throw the game for other people and move onto the next match.

We have enough bad blood between survivors and killers, and very few ways to communicate good sportsmanship beyond the normal gameplay?

I get you perhaps being frustrated about survivors working with killers when there are still other survivors in the match, but complaining about the last man standing getting hatch is...well it's kinda spiteful really.

For real, every time you think that you have sorta seen it all, this community jumps over all your expectations from a standing start and just runs for it. :D When some peeps here say that people will just whine about everything they weren't exaggerating.

I always appreciate the Dr Cox

Dr Cox truly is the gift that keeps on giving as it was between "Man not Caring" and "I care so little I almost passed out". And with Dr Cox, there is almost certainly a dozen other clips that I just don't remember right off the top of my head like those two...

Seriously, mori update when.

Funny thing - your Boldness score is very low. Altruism and Objective are important, but Boldness is the real measure of how much value a survivor provided their team. Anyone with a brain can sit on a gen with PT and hit skill checks or sneak in for a safe unhook; it takes an actually good survivor to both buy time for their team and to recognize "hey, my teammates are in trouble and I'm not, I should go take the heat so that they stay in the game longer."

If everyone got out because your teammates were running the killer successfully, then this whole thing about the killer picking favorites is a moot point. If most everyone died because your teammates were running the killer while you sat in the back doing gens, and you did not try to divert the killer when those teammates were on their last legs, that is partially your fault and a very valid reason for the killer to want to reward a teammate who wasn't you.

And before you jump down my throat for being a killer main or whatever (again...) while these are the judgements I'll make as a killer, this is very much coming from the perspective of a survivor. I'm not impressed by gen jockeys. Sure, it's part of what any team needs to function and I like that much more than teammates who do nothing at all, but it doesn't make you the MVP. True altruism isn't points farming, it's throwing yourself in danger to try and keep your teammates alive.

As a complete survivor main, I can second this without hesitation. Getting objectives done is great, but there are some times where the best thing you can do to play well, is take aggro and give some poor 2 hook state soul a chance to stay in the game longer.

Angels to some, Demons to others.

I usually don't "choose" who I am going to let go, it just kind of plays out that way. In the situations I do pick someone out, it's almost always because they are awful and MMR screwed them, or because their teammates were being nasty to them, in which case that feels fair to me.

Yeah, when you die and are spectating, and see the killer spare someone else for what may feel like arbitrary reasons, there's sometimes a twinge of irritation, but it's hardly something worth building injustices about. Most often it's just random, sparing the last person who happened to be alive. There will be times the person spared is you, and there probably won't be a clear reason then, either.

I'm gonna guess that anyone who has a real, gnawing problem with this sort of thing is probably the same sort of person who gets bent out of shape about things like student loan forgiveness or any sort of charity in general, and it probably generally irritated that the whole world isn't a flat meritocracy. The universe isn't even handed, and something good happening to someone else isn't automatically at your expense.

This isn't a scenario like treating your children equally or something. It's just how things go sometimes.

Now if the killer and said survivor had some sort of arrangement coming into the match, that's one thing. But other than that, people just need to get over it.
