"Why are Killers so toxic?"

Honestly, I think a lot of survivors just deserve to get slugged.

Do you genuinely think you can ruin someone else's day and not have him take it out on someone else, maybe multiple times?

I just played a game of Singularity on Azarov's, and boy, let me tell you did my chases go well.

Every single time I entered chase, the survivors would run to the nearest wall and jump off the map. They would teleport somewhere I don't know, and I would teleport to my original spawn point. Wash, rinse, repeat. They'd EMP, heal, and continue the cycle.

I left the game. Why would I bother with it? Literally speaking, if they are doing a generator, and if I teleport on top of them, they tank the first hit, run, I teleport again, and by the time I can even hold W to catch up (I even have Rapid Brutality) they would jump off the map.

Every. Single. Survivor. And it wasn't even a SWF. After I quit, one guy in the EG chat said "HAHAHAHAHHA EZ" and left.

Now how can you have a game like this, and resist the urge to go Nurse and slug everyone the next game?

I'm not saying every survivor deserves to get tunneled, but most of you underestimate how much you deserve to get tunneled. This is coming from someone that's against tunneling, by the way.

    Yeah, I get you. You need to remember the next group has nothing to do with it tho, but I know it can be difficult. You sometimes just need to take your frustration on someone...

    80% of survivors are like that. Taking it out on a random group of survs has a very high likelihood of them getting their just desserts.

    I mean this logic can be used in reverse also, 80% of Killers are bleedout stinky people so I better BM every Killer. If we were to go by the game stats, Killer wins 1/3 or 1/2 more than Survivors, so it would track that 1/3 or 1/2 more Killers are stinky, so a Survivor would be more justified in BMing. Alternatively we can stop BMing in advance, and only fight fire with fire. Only wait for the opposition to draw first blood, and then feel free to respond equally in turn.

    But they are not reason why you got angry.

    And I think 80% is little bit too high, but I usually don't give survivors an option to go on power trip, which is where they usually show true colors...

    My best advice for anyone is always be in control of the game. Doesn't matter if it is by the killer choice or build.

    I always start slow (trying to hook everyone), then if survivors annoy me, I will try to get someone out asap and kill everyone else, sometimes bleed out depends how much they annoyed me.

    But I am never going to go full tryhard from start just because last group annoyed me. That's an unhealthy approach imo.

    And, by your own logic, that 20% (that are not like that) would also suffer as a result.

    Maybe instead of "pay it forwards" games, maybe find some other outlet to express your frustration that does not involve playing the game with the intent of harming or hurting the experience for others.

    But that's how you get survivors that are abusing game mechanics to troll you in the first place. Some people are just ######### and get their kicks out of ragebaiting people, but way more of them are treating you like garbage because someone treated them like garbage and now they think it's karmic to punish you as a stand-in because 'all killers deserve this', the same way we're claiming random survivors deserve to be slugged for their aggregate sins.

    Making more people hate each other isn't the cure, it's the poison.

    If your day is ruined by someone teabagging in a game, and you have so much rage that you go out your way to grief other people, then you're the problem. At least own the fact that you're a lousy person with behavioural issues, rather than blaming everyone else for it.

    I don’t think using a bug and survivors abusing the bug is a valid reason for killers to be toxic as a whole. This was a problem even before the bug.

    but here my usual matches as both.

    Killer: occasionally a serial t-bagger. Occasionally a flashlight spammer. Overall chill vibes. If I do get a toxic survivor, I’m toxic back. But otherwise it’s fine.

    Survivor: almost always tunneled, often camped, often smacked on hook, often experiencing the killer version of tbagging where they move back and forth. I am slugged very often as well. My play style? I suck at flashlights so I don’t do that. I’m not good enough at chase so I don’t BM during it. I just do gens and play chill. Yet every match is so miserable and toxic I rarely play and when I do it’s about 4 matches till I’m tired of it.

    I main killer. Ghostface is my go to. So I don’t understand why killers feel the need to act the way they do and kill the vibes. And don’t say mmr…mine is very high. It’s rare I don’t get a 3-4k.

    if a survivor is being toxic or abusing bugs/exploits. Report them for grieving and exploiting. Don’t take it out on the people who just want to have fun and do nothing wrong.

    and you do you resist the urge to not be toxic afterwards? CBT is a good start. Cognitive behavior therapy to help change your thought process and reaction to it. Emotional intelligence and control is also helpful. If you feel yourself building up rage, take a breath or a break. Know that next game shouldn’t be like that.
