Some people
Just played a solo queue match against a Blight. One of our teammates DC'd within 1 minute at her first down. We managed to do 2 gens then the killer sacrificed one of us and slugged the remaining survivors, went AFK and let us bleed out for 4 minutes. 👍
I'll enjoy the 5 second queues and +100% bloodpoints. You do you, man.

they were probably sad they didnt get a real match......this is the punishment they bestow when they are unhappy

Average Blight match.

I usually assume those kinds of people have really hard lives, like the only chance they can have any real control over life is bullying strangers online. I just kinda feel bad for them.
It's probably not that deep, but I still wonder what is happening on the other side of the monitor, y'know?

True tho lol.
Maybe but they'd get to a real match about 3 minutes faster if they simply sacrificed us haha.
For some that may be true. :( At least he walked away and stared at a wall instead of taunting me on the ground tho lol

How do people refuse to believe there is something deeper behind this behavior?
A mild-mannered, considerate individual does not deliberately subject another person to the worst possible experience they could have in any given scenario.
I don’t know the full context of the situation (maybe both slugs were in a hook deadzone), but a killer doesn’t decide to bleed out survivors “just because.”

There was this one time when I killed 2 survivors at 4 gens, and then proceeded to... Not kill other 2. We goofed around, broke some pallets (on my head) let them do flashy saves and fix all the gens... Then as they wandered around with me readying to leave, looking at me with trusting eyes I.... Knocked one down and hooked him, killing him on the spot. The girl... She tried to run, but there were no pallets left of course. So I chased her and quickly downed her with NOED. Then hooked and killed her as well.
From their perspective I was a terrible person, a monstrous, cruel abomination, devoid of human feelings. In true, I had a challenge that asked me to do this. Behavior made me do it.
But in truth, behind the monitor, I did chuckled a bit, mildly enjoying the bad wolf role playing. Am I a deranged, sociopathic detritus of human waste,so devoid of satisfaction in my life that all I have left is to torture digital people on the internet?
I'm sure they thought so. But I don't think I am. I'm still the same dude who let's 2 people go in about 80% of my matches and tries to help obvious newbs to learn how to loop a little better.
Tldr: you really can't very easily judge a person just by how he is in a video game where he plays the villain.

If you think how someone act in a video game is directly related to how they are in real life then you need a serious reality check. By this logic everyone who kills npc in GTA must really want to just go out and shoot everyone or anyone who plays assassins creed is a secret assassin. Sounds ridiculous because the real world and video game world are two completely different things.
Now with that been said there are some very extreme case where lines do get blurred buy these are in the minority.

I'm not sure. The only time I have every bled someone out was when they were using boil over and running to a spot I couldn't hook them. They may be trying to have their own fun but I'm not getting any real chases and they are actively ruining my game. I quite literally wouldn't put it past those types of boil over gamers to make a post exactly like this one. Also "this one scenario that most definitely doesn't happen to me a lot is good reason why killer queue's can be upwards of a whole 3 min!" no one really cares. My queues at 3am in the morning are at worst 4 min. Some of my league queue's can be upwards of 15 min due to how high mmr I am in that game, this statement is just so dumb to me.

Same, I often wonder this about survivors who sit in the gate and won't leave unless I come to push them out, knowing full well that they intend to tbag and run out at the last possible second before I could even hit them anyway.
Some people really do seem to enjoy being unprovoked jackasses in video games, and that definitely comes from somewhere.

The difference is that NPCs in GTA have no emotions. They aren't real people, so you're free to beat them to death with a baseball bat with moral impunity. It's what that game is made for, people letting their stress out by doing something completely harmless to imaginary people.
To be completely fair, I'll admit and say that I find it genuinely hilarious when people get mad at me when I do something they don't like in video games. I'm not out here trying to ruin their play session on purpose, they just hand me free tickets to the circus and I take the free entertainment where I can get it.
Purposely trying to upset actual people is different, imo. A little trolling for laughs is totally fine, it's just a video game. But going in with a mean-spirited attitude and telling people to kill themselves, ect, is where I'm like "uh, bro, do you need to talk to someone?" That's more the kind of thing I'm talking about.

And DOOM and GTA cause school shootings right? Geez I thought this thought process was proven wrong decades ago.

Mate, that isn’t the point OP was trying to make.
This thread is just a half-rant about how OP encountered [presumably more than one] killer whose course of actions facilitated the least enjoyable experience for their opponents.
There is no presumption of innocence here, as the course of actions taken by the killer would be found neither necessary nor efficient to a reasonable person.
While one can construct a scenario in which the game might lead them to play maliciously (as @Chaos999 has so kindly done), OP is calling out those who use the game with ill-intent.
So while it might be a stretch to claim that shooting games make someone want to shoot people IRL, it is not a stretch to say that someone who wants to exert dominance over another person IRL would turn to a game that provides them the opportunity to do so.
Edit: To touch upon an extreme example… If you’ve seen Netflix’s Don’t F*ck With Cats, that guy would enjoy playing DBD for the reasons OP bemoans.
2nd Edit: TL;DR OP’s point is that some people are really scummy, and it is frustrating that DBD is their outlet for being scummy.

I am just playing a game, that is what is happening on the other side of the monitor. I am laughing... Having a great time. I know that narrative does not please you, but it is the truth. I do not even think about life while I play DbD.
If people have actually had a tough life, genuinely, they are stronger than you would know. I get this from you guys a lot, in messages, but they never seem to realize is that their opinion is irrelevant. It never hurts my feelings. Pointing out reality does not offend me. It is what it is and I hope nobody has to ever go through what I have, but my experiences are NOT some weird justification for my conduct. I do it because I enjoy it. Not to exert control over others or "bully" them. That is just a consequence of how the game is designed, I suppose. Not my fault!

That Blight might’ve had to pick up their kids or had a phone call saying their mom died.

Ah, that's reasonable. I'm not personally offended by people being annoying in video games or anything, just genuinely baffled and confused most of the time. I'm a very curious person, so I'm always trying to figure out the how's and why's of human behavior and other stuff. No high horses from me, I'm just curious.
"Because it makes me laugh" is pretty much the best possible answer you could have given me. It's not really deep or complicated or anything. I also find it funny for people to get triggered over meaningless BS, but I don't go out of my way to get that reaction out of people. I'm really just too sensitive for it haha

But in reality the person behind the screen is a rich suburban kid who has two loving parents and an easy life.

There should be really zero penalty for leaving if you're in dying state and not being hooked. It's literally just wasting other ppls time in this situation for no reason whatsoever (aka to entertain some 12yo that got probably rolled by SWF the previous game). As in no penalty or IDK option to just insta bleed out.
2 -
The thing is, there's no way know either way. All I know about that person is that they played a match of Dead by Daylight today. Do they slug people to death because they are spiteful? Because it's funny to them? Because they want the match to last longer and don't want to give survivors the chance to suicide on hook? Was there a genuine reason, like hook spawns being broken (has happened to me a few times, it was impossible to hook anyone so I had to just make them bleed out)?
Was it a one time thing and they're just having a bad day, or do they do this every single game that they play?
I don't know until I ask them, but it's really easy to infer that someone who likes to makes others miserable is probably not a very happy person. Overwhelmingly, when it comes down to end game chat and I get to talk to them, they act like an insane person and are extremely vindictive and hateful towards everyone in the lobby. If the people I talk to that do this are clearly very disturbed, I'm sure you can understand why I walk away thinking that there is something going on in their life that's making them miserable even when I don't get to talk to them.
Peeking into someone's life for 14 minutes through the lens of an online game is not enough to get the full picture, but god damn if it's not a really unpleasant 14 minutes.

I do agree with you that there are people out there like that but the problem I have is that people try to act like if someone does something they don't like they must hate themselves in real life. Truth is that I slug two people in a row because there was multiple survivors around everytime I down someone or something like that.

Meanwhile on the other side of the monitor the father of a little girl applies the bandage on the finger she cut with her little scissor just as he downed the last survivor.
Unlikely? Maybe. Certainly not impossible.
But please carry on explaining how you can know someone who you never met their personality from playing a single game with them

They would have died anyway if you killed two teammates at 4 gens. Sure, you betrayed their trust, but surely they earned more bloodpoints that way and did not lie on the ground for 4 minutes unable to do anything, so I don't think your situation is comparable.
1 -
That is kinda sad.

Bleed out times need to be looked at. The four minutes is too long, too abused.

It's strange to me how everything killers find "unfun" gets nerfed or removed from the game, yet despite all of the continuous killer buffs and survivor nerfs all of the free unfun mechanics that can killers can exploit remain untouched.
Slugging is not necessary in an extreme majority of matches and it is not fun. There is no reason survivors can't recover themselves up in the game now. Even if they could, killers would still be grossly overpowered.
1 -
It could be that they had bad game before and they want revenge. Maybe bleeding you out gave him satisfaction of destroying his opponents this time. Or they're just toxic andjust do it because they can but at least he didn't show off or shaked his head while you were on the ground.
1 -
Yup, facing killers like this is becoming pretty frequent in this game. This is why I never use Flans anymore despite having hundreds of them. Just waiting until we can get survivor buffs in a future patch to bring balance back to this game.
