What is your "win" definition as playing the Killer?
2k, 3k or 4k? 20000 bloodpoints? Anything other than Entity Displeased/Hungers? 8 hooks, 12 hooks? When do you tell yourself "Yes, I won this match."?

Having fun and then it doesn‘t matter how many kills I got, a 3k/4k or killing a person that stupidly annoyed me during the match.

me not feeling like i lost.

I main Pig.
I hook every survivor twice (so 8 hooks), then go around requesting nose boop's while they finish the rest of the gens.
Only time I sacrifice / kill a survivor is when I have a challenge on 4 it.

Really depends on match, killer I play and survivors I go against, honestly.
If I go against sweatlords with 15-20 second chances on strong survivor map, I understand that 3-5 hooks is mathematical maximum I can reach, even if I will play nearly perfect. Maybe only if I S tier killer with 3-4 slowdowns and will tunnel regardless from the start of the game, I can expect something more, but it's boring for me.
If I'm just chilling in average match and don't tunnel, I will take 8 hooks as win. Thoughts that game wants me to tunnel are always included in package after such matches.
And if I play to win, my goal is at least 3k.

I just use the game's win condition of 3/4 kills, personally.
Though, I also don't really tie my satisfaction with a match to whether I won, so I don't really need a personalised win condition. I've had 1k matches that I felt super satisfied with, and 4ks that weren't particularly fun or satisfying.

Personally? Every match is a win for me. No matter if it is a 4K or 4E since I’m always entertained that it plays out like a scary story/movie.
The community at large? It seems like a 3K is what is considered a Killer win.

2 or more of the below:
- 7+ hook states
- Got the rift or achievement done
- Killed the most annoying or most skilled
- Had fun

Perfect win is 2K or 10 hooks and 30 000+ bp I say it's enough to be considered win if 2 of those requirements are met.
4K with 20K bp is loss for me especially if there are cakes in match. But with some killers it's harder to earn bp so I can accept 25K+ bp.

A 3k or a 4k id a win, everything else is a loss with the only variation being how hard you lost.
2k: you failed to protect generators and half the team escaped, they beated you but with more effort you can improve and avoid those loses.
1k: not only did you fail to protect generators, the team must have ran you for days, either you were throwing on purpose or you have a lot to learn.
0k: at that point leave the job to the tutorial trapper bot, he and you have the same results lmao.

9 or more hook, don't care if it was at the end game or at five gen, it's just some "chrono"

8-9 stages I consider a draw
10 and up is a win
0 -
a 3k with no survivor escaping through the gates. If they escape through hatch it's fine because it's rng and i don't care enough to slug for the 4k.

- Having fun
- Not getting death threats
- Not getting called a dog, adopted, gay (as insults, even tho they should not be)
- Not getting wished cancer upon my family

Logically, a 3-4k. If I get a 1k or a draw vs a ridiculous team, I take it as a spiritual win, because that's all the devs want you to get vs that caliber. This is the only game community that views losses as wins as long as they "had fun" or got a certain amount of points. It's just weird to me.

I think most killers need to ask themselves:
Is it really a win if you lean on cheesy strats/perks that solo survivors cannot counter due to lack of coordination? Do whatever you want against swf, but there's just certain things you can do and perks you can run against solo survivors that will guarantee at least 3k in every match.1 -
No longer playing this game is definitive win for me in my book. 😜

Usually I just consider 2k a tie, 1k or 0k a loss, 3k and 4k a win. That said, depending on the match, these rules are obviously flexible.
I'll only ever consider a 3k a loss if a survivor screwed over their teammates and I let them make it out, cause then I feel bad for the ones who got done dirty. On the opposite side of the coin, I only tend to consider 1ks a win if I was memeing or got someone I consider toxic.
Winning is overrated though, it's not like anyone is keeping score

For my Ghosty Devour Hope build, a picture of every Survivor. That means if you photobomb a Mori (in the background), you get to live. If you block my picture of that original person though, I'm getting you also. Ghosty is an artist, you have to respect his art!
Also if they early cleanse Devour Hope (before i reach 5 tokens), I try to sleuth out who cleansed it (and Undying if I brought it), and only kill the cleanser(s).

3k is win, 4k is better xD

IT depends, if I do really really well in a bad map like eerie with a pretty mediocre killer like Bubba, even if I technically "lost" by having 3 or more survivors alive, I can totally say that I "got them"
1 -
Honestly anything more than 7 hooks feels like a win especially when there is four of survivors remaining, at that point it's basically RNG of who got hooked
2 -
At least two hooks on everyone and a decent BP score.

A Pip is good enough for me to get the win. Although recently a 3-4k I call an emphatic win. It's just that you cannot control the skills of your opponents, so sometimes you may be the Premier League taking on some village in the arse-end of nowhere and at other times you become the village team taking on the Premier Team, so it's best to determine how you feel you did in comparison at the end.
I have been taking results recently of my games and based on 31 games I've "won" 24 of them and drawn twice. But in the end it's about how you feel you did at the end. So long as you feel good by the end, then that's the main thing.

This, even when you undoubtedly lost the game, it doesn't feel like a loss as long as you had fun. Even playing in Chaos Shuffle as Killer and Survivor, I never felt like I was steamrolled because I did decently well on both sides and it felt good. Tough matches that were and felt fair.
