Confused by exit gate behavior when playing Killer.

Im learning Onryo lately, so im pretty bad at it (whats okey). Im just trying her mechanics out i dont tunnel, i dont camp or do anything that could be remotly considered toxic.

Why do survivors still teabag and flashlight me at the end? Why do they still let the 2min cooldown run out if i dont come and see how they teabag me?

Im really starting to be confused, why are people doing it?

    It’s unfortunate that this happens.

    Sucks to be BM’d against, and I opt to never BM other players… it’s a choice we have both in life and in gaming.

    Survivors aren’t toxic, it’s the current mood/ personalities of ppl who play them… same goes for Killers.

    From what I’ve learned from other player who BM in DBD and other games; They’ve had it happen to them and they choose to behave in the same way towards others they play against who may or may not have behaved in cruelty toward them.

    This never helps anything, just adds to the mayhem and chaos.

    Interesting tho, how there aren’t as many posts such as this where someone lifted the mood of the match or countenance of another player to where the outcome or vibe of the match was positivity.

    It will happen regardless. It is an online game. People will tbag even if you played fair. It’s not rocket science. maybe they had a bad game before, or maybe you looked at them weird. I wouldnt take it to heart and just move on. Is it annoying? Yes. Do the survivors have a little ego trip because they beat a perkless onyro? Unfortunately yes.

    Some people are just rude. But please do remember that tunneling and camping are both fine as they are valid strategy and even the creators admitted it is not considered punishable. Face-camping is a different matter but even if you try to play "decent" you'll encounter toxicity.

    taunting will always be a thing in online pvp games in dbd it might just feel a bit more personal.

    i used to get annoyed at these things at first but with time and experience i only grown to laugh at these silly interactions than be mad at them.

    they won they want to rub it in a bit that's ok I'll just push them out and go next and I'll forget about it almost instantly.

    so my advice is to just push them out don't let it get into your head and just focus on learning killer.

    That's all you'll get for playing with a handicap. Some players will just take that as a signal to be rude.

    Play to win or at least to have fun.

    Don't bother going anywhere close to the gates when you know you've lost. Instead look up, go take a drink and come back after the EGC has collapsed and the fools have waited all that time for nothing.

    tunneling and camping isnt toxic. my advice for you is to not listen to survivors when they talk about what to do when playing killer.

    That too but I was referring to playing "nice" : not tunnelling and not camping.

    Eh, it is what it is. Use the time to get more destruction points.

    I think it would be fun if they added a mechanic where any surv who remains within the immediate vicinity of an open gate (say like inside of it and within 10 meters outside of it) for a certain amount of time can be insta-grabbed. This would add risk to those just hanging out to BM, and spare those who go back into the map for altruistic reasons.

    One of my favorite things to see is when some numbnuts hanging at the gate to drop the bags gets snatched by Wesker, dragged out by a Slinger, etc. That stuff is gold. It's like Darwinism at work.

    More of that would be great.

    EDIT: I also think it would be fun if the killer could straight snatch a surv just hanging out on top of the open hatch. It could be like a sneaking minigame.

    Or push them out, takes 10 seconds rather than waiting what? 3 mins? 5 mins?

    people are gonna be people. they can't appreciate even a nice killer let alone a not toxic one either because they are that clueless or just because they are scumbags.

    Don't let the toxicity get to you. If you spend too much time focusing on it, you will just end up hating the game and despising everyone you play against.

    The OP has clearly had some bad matches. Why would you try and gas them up? That's not helping them, you're actively trying to make them more frustrated. You might as well tell them that the survivors were insulting their mother too, if the goal is to make them feel worse.

    You're gassing them up so they hate the game and it's players as much as you do. It's manipulative and you shouldn't be doing it.

    I honestly don't see it that way, and I hope you don't mind me mentioning it.

    If you play a killer a lot, you will get attacked. The in game T-bagging is the least of the fun times you'll encounter. If you plan to keep at it, watching how a SWF conducts themselves during a twitch stream is an essential component of your education.

    You will always meet toxic people online. You can't really figure them out and you can't change them. I'm not going to tell you that they don't exist, because they do. But the toxic players are a minority, regardless of how it feels. All I will say is that fixating on them won't benefit you in any way. It certainly won't help you enjoy your matches more.

  • CatnipLove

    I agree with you that DbD does have a pretty toxic community. Numerically I don't think it's the majority, but I don't doubt that toxicity is probably more common in certain parts of the community than in others. New and casual survivors for example aren't really toxic, as they are too scared to even try to be.

    The consistency at which survivors teabag at the exit gates is somewhat dumbfounding. They will do it in almost any match they play, regardless of whether the killer is playing nice (no tunneling or camping regardless of how the match is going), or whether they are a toxic killer with a bad attitude. Teabagging happens so much, and in so many different scenarios that it's meaning is completely lost on me sometimes.

    Thats just how this ######### community is. Everyone hates everyone else.

    Did you play survivor? Too bad you get hard tunneled and camped for breathing. Did you play killer? Too bad every survivor brings Head On and flashlights and harasses you. Everyone here makes everyone else have a worse time, and the cycle repeats itself again and again and again. Even if you try not to be rude, everyone will bully you and you won't really enjoy the game.


    You can learn to play nurse/blight/wesker, then survivors won't really be able to T-bag you after a lot of practice. I reccomend trying each of them. I also reccomend disabling EGC and entering anon mode... people will go to any lenghts to harrass you if they can.

    I wish you luck.

    I just played a game, as survivor, where a Kate and I were at the exit gate, with Kate 99ing it. Saw on the HUD that Meg was being chased and now injured, so both of us ran back in to try and help her. Killer left her and came for us, I opened the other gate and killer hit me out the exit. Kate got downed and hooked and the Meg? I spectated and saw her open the other exit gate and then stand there pointing at Kate's hooked aura and tbagging repeatedly. At that point I wish the Kate and I had just opted to leave earlier.

    Oh I know, I believe you, and have experienced it ALL extensively, especially in DBD, over the past 6 years.

    Saying: it’s NOT JUST Killers and Survivors in only this game.

    It’s the people playing as them and those ppl’s current mood at any given instant, mixed with their internal psychological make-up that overall constitutes their toxicity in any game they play.

    What’s inside a person is what needs to be addressed.

    How we react to another person’s words, actions, gameplay, etc. reveals much about ourselves.
