About Toxic SWF's

I’m aware that the 2v8 mode has caused some MMR issues. I already created another thread about that.

Today, I want to talk about something else. I don’t understand why people act toxic when the killer uses Lightborn after they bring 4 flashlights. I’m not someone who frequently uses the Lightborn perk, but if I see at least 3 players bringing flashlights, I equip it to prevent potential toxic behavior. I don’t think survivors have the right to complain when they bring 3–4 flashlights and then see Lightborn. In my opinion, they get upset because I ruined their plan to bully the killer. I would post screenshots here, but I can’t due to forum rules.In short: if you’re going to use flashlights, you shouldn’t complain when the killer picks a counter perk lol

    Some people will always get upset no matter what you do or how nicely you play. Just don't mind them, they only play one side and have no idea how things work for the other.

    Don’t worry about other people being toxic. That’s their issue if they want to be sh***y human beings. I would suggest reporting them if they are harassing you in chat, but in my experience BHVR has never taken any action when I reported post-game chat harassment.

    Imagine a 5-year-old being told they can't play with their favorite toy. That's all you need to know.

    I dunno, it's like complaining about windows tbh. The dev team has created quite a few cry baby players.

    they have the right to complain. and we have the right to ignore them for being annoying. it's not that many people complaining anyway. they are just louder then everything else with their cries of misery at not being able to use their favorite toy.

    Some players in DBD don’t just run on low effort… they run on a budget IQ. Their goal isn’t to win, it’s to ruin the match for someone else.

    But consider this: you endure them for 15 minutes. They, however, are bound by terms and conditions to live with themselves indefinitely. You’re walking away with the better deal → always.

    Seeing 4 survivors with flashlights struggle and stumble after facing Lightborn is truly enjoyable, it's worth picking Lightborn just for that lol :D
