There Is Bad Takes in DBD And Then There Is This...

Last night's stream was pretty chill, we hit our next milestone goal after 5 near 6 months of streaming had some good highlight worthy moments but then I come across this person. This person and the rest of his SwF decided to bring in a Badham map offering packed loaded with Instaheals and BNP's as they do (During an Event BTW)

Huntress is one of my 3 mains, Pig and Tiffany being the other two, I have had some really bad takes or complaints in my chat over the last few months but this one I have never ever come across before and just takes the #1 spot and probably will for a while.

I'm a Huntress player who uses a lot of Aura stuff, why? Because I love going for crazy long shots and crossmaps for highlights. Which also meant I was doing it this match as well. Throughout the match I was getting some good shots, good map pressure, quick downs etc then all of a sudden DC… DC…. DC………. DC.

They all left and I was stuck with bots, which at this point btw I feel you should be able to DC as killer and not be hit with the DC pen as I personally find bots boring and uninteresting to go against, especially while streaming. One of the SwF then decided to come to my chat to tell me that I was playing like a scumbag, I asked how? They responded with that comment you see above and a bunch of other nonsense. They quit because I'm getting long shots and "decent shots, opposed to touching noses with survivors then throwing the hatch"

I'm sorry…. W H A T
I have never ever in the near 3k hours of me playing DBD have ever come across someone complaining about Huntress going for long shots instead of directly being on top of the survivors to then throw a hatchet at them. I just don't understand why survivor players like this keep playing DBD if at every little small micro inconvenience they come across they quit the match then at the same time find a way to twist it to blame the killer for their mindset. As the usual then then lead to the typical "you suck at killer" view rate shaming (I was on 12), typical rambling about how "killers like me ruin the experience of DBD". Got bored trying to have a discussion with them as It was all clearly in bad faith and wasn't going anywhere productive so it just lead to a chat timeout.

    its boring to play against a killer that see you every time every were and you just cant do anything.

    this game is hide and seek without hide …

    Some tangentially related advice: ban people immediately when they come in like that. Kills the vibe of the stream and will only piss you off. They're wet blankets. Use the ban button. It took me way too long to learn that when I streamed.

    I don't know how that sounds made up, people getting annoyed at whatever and getting toxic is honestly pretty run of the mill at this point.

    Because there is no negative word when it comes to the long shots, but a negative indication when it comes to Huntress players basically going into Melee-Range before throwing their Hatchet.

    The quoted sentence reads like an answer to the question "Why do you like my Huntress-gameplay?". And given that all Discussions of OP here are Anti-Survivor, I call doubt on that one.

    I think it's far more likely that people got wound up at the other side playing the game decently well and coming to get upset in someone's twitch chat than the OP manufacturing a whole scenario just to post on the forums for a minor amount of attention.

    I might be wrong, but I don't think conspiratorial thinking helps anyone in the long run.

    I get that hate all the time. People very often DC when I land orbitals or cross maps. It’s entitlement, plane and simple.

    People are so cringe it’s embarrassing. People complaining I’m holding a hatchet for more than 2 seconds. Complaining that I’m landing double taps, complaint about orbitals complaining about snipes.

    People DC all the time non stop, idc though. It’s a skill issue
