Has everyone forgotten it's common courtesy to let the killer hit you at the exit gates?
This feels like a basic understanding when I started playing in 2017 that everyone just ignores now.

common courtesy is to leave and just end the game asap.

In the past, BP was depleted and everyone wanted it. Not so much now. Survivors who do not want bagging and flashlighting will prefer to leave once they have confirmed the safety of other survivors.

I'd much rather survivors just left when I play killer instead of having them just stand there pointing and/or teabagging just to give me a whopping 300 or so points.

Take a hit if the killer is at the gate, leave if they aren't (make sure your teammates are safe first).
Do not take hits for
- Michael
- Deathslinger
- Wesker (injured)
- Pinhead
- Twins
- Knight
Also if you have Distortion or Object of Obsession make sure the killer doesn't have Bloodwarden.

This isn't really the done thing anymore. Back when levelling took ages, it was admittedly fairly common. Survivors would let the killer hit them, then heal up a couple of times for some extra BPs before concluding the match.
Nowadays, Bloodpoints are much easier to get and a lot of players will interpret hanging around at the gate (without good cause) as trying to flaunt your victory.

I will if it works out that way and I don't have to wait but these days many killers wont come to the gate as they probably expect you to bravely tea bag them at the exit anyway. A lot of times its just more polite to leave immediately

If I had a non-stressful match and I don't immediately sprint out the door, I will give the killer a hit on the way out. With some exceptions, like Pinhead, Deathslinger, and Wesker, because I don't want to risk getting yoinked out the gate and dying. I tend to only do it if I'm healthy, though; if I'm injured I'll just leave.

Most of the time, when I go to the gates, I just get tea bagged. The thing that actually annoyed me is the people who walk like they're going to give you a hit, then they walk out and you hit the entity blocker. It's rude.
People need to just leave. The most egregious examples are those people who wait the entire 3 minutes to leave and spam loud noise notifications. People don't like being hit on the hook when they're dead, and tea bagging at the gates is the same thing.

Once upon a time it was, but nowadays most killers would rather you leave so I do
4 -
Yeah that annoys me too and as a mostly solo queue survivor I actually want to sandbag them so the killer can get them when they do that
2 -
In the meantime survivor made it a thing to let the killer come close only to deny that hit by stepping over the line or even dead hard in your face.
Nowadays it's probably only tbagging you will get at the exit, so it's nearly never worth it to go there anymore.
And the most hypocritical thing is survivor complaining about killer wasting 4 minutes of their lifetime only for them standing the full egc duration there at the finish line with the only other option being, getting their will and rubbing it in when the killer decides to push them out.

I'll be honest, I'd rather they just leave and end the game. I don't go anywhere near an open exit gate because I've already watched all the seasons of "The Fog's Best Butt Dancer".

You’re not “giving the killer a hit,” you’re just taunting them.

Yeah, like everyone is saying, now that BPs aren't as hard to get it, killers tend to get annoyed when you do that now. Those few extra points just aren't as appreciated as they used to be.

Yes, it was basic understanding to give killer 2 extra hits at the exit gate, at least one.
Not anymore from me, but it has a different reason: Every time i do it, they try to backflip me. EVERY SINGLE TIME. I dont know how you feel about that, but a killer trying to cheat an extra kill on survivors generosity is lame as hell.

Correct, don’t give those killers a hit. Instead, they want you to run back in and give them a nice hug.
2 -
That's not common, that's rare 😅
3 -
As a survivor main there was a time I would do that. As with all things though there are people that will take advantage of it. I had one too many times where I let a killer hit me only to have them hit exposed right before hitting me and then taking me to hang me. I don't mind playing casual, but trying to play nice in this game game...... nope. There are way too many people that see it as nothing but an invitation to take advantage of you.

^ pretty much.

annoyingly so... XD

It is common courtesy to just leave I don't think anyone wants to see four Feng at the exit gate just leave while I look for pallets and walls or farm my power if I can while you waste your time waiting for me to show.
1 -
“cheat”?????
lmao
4 -
Yah. I never go to the exit gates. If the survivors are waiting I just walk around breaking pallets or walls to get extra points while they stand there with their thumbs up their butts lol.

Remember to always allow a T3 Myers to hit you at the exit.

This comment belongs back in 2017. The courteous thing to do now is leave and not waste anyone else's time. Not only is it disrespectful to wait around to get hit one last time, it is also bad tactics. Plenty of survivors have found themselves on hooks dorking around by exit gates when they could have just left.

Why pinhead?
0 -
If you get hit with Pinhead's chain, you're blocked from leaving the trial for a little while. Enough time for him to down you and pick you up.
0 -
But I can assure you out of 20 matches I play every day survivors leave immediately 2-3 times at MOST. The other 27-28 times they make me go push them out and will only leave when I get within swinging distance. It’s so cringe it’s unreal.

There are a lot of 'conventions' from the early days of DbD that simply aren't true any more. The community is too big and disparate for the players to agree on 'etiquette'.
0 -
95% of the remaining community are jaded veterans that can't let this game go and have grown to project their own pessimistic views of the game into everything their rivals do, so nowadays things like survivors letting you get a free hit at the end game is considered toxic instead of some free BPs.
This is why there's no moderate takes anymore. It's always something along the lines of "Distorsion is TOXIC" or "I crossed paths with the killer to get a protection hit while I was on death hook and they HIT ME??? And TUNNELED ME??? And I DIED???".
1 -
A lot of that may be due to the teabagging at the threshold or the survivors causing excessive vault notifications.

I only let killers hit me at exit gates if they are already there, if they aren't and my teammates no longer need help, I leave. As killer o also appreciate when survivors just leave, but if I'm already at the exit gates and they want to give me those extra hits, I won't say no lol.
Overall I think is better to just leave and not waste ppl's time.
0 -
I generally will do that if the killer is in the area and clearly wants the hits (if they just stand there or if they're not at the gate, I just go).
However I will say as a survivor, I've had to become wary of killers as well when I give them the hits because a lot of killers have figured out how to be cheeky with it. If they hit you from the side, they have a chance to pick you up (since you fall sideways instead of our of the gate).
That's not illegal or whatever but I imagine many people just leave without letting the killer get any hits for that reason.

Just in case you didn't know you can Emote before being hit to cancel the downing animation so you won't get knocked to the side or backfliped. The killer could always wait the Emote out to try and time a hit but I've personally never seen anyone do this.
