Shout out to confident killers
I played a few survivor matches recently against p100s that were fantastic. One Dracula, one Wesker, one Glitchtrap. They landed their hits, won thier chases, kept up their pressure constantly, cycled their hookings. No cheese tactics, just great skill. Super impressive. The Glitchtrap's oppression was so severe two people died without a single gen getting done, despite a competant team.
All three of these killers also extended mercy. The Wesker and Glitchtrap let the two remaining survivors live after we both had clearly given up. The Dracula was never really playing serious, thanks to finding us all dancing to Bardic Inspiration at game start and me petting the doggo and then Plot Twisting in his face.
These three probably have stellar stats but were cool and confident enough to take that .1% loss and have some fun with non-sweaty opponents who didn't stand a chance. After getting slammed lately with hook campers forcing me into second stage and sluggers leaving me on the ground until I bleed out, playing against high-skill opponents who were chill enough to pull back and give us a friendly break from the grind was so refreshing.

THIS..
I had a similar match against a Ghoul a few days ago where he was bodying my teammates left and right, but he had a decently good chase with me, and let me get the door in the end. So nice to see killers that aren't hellbent on getting that finisher mori all the time, which in 95% of cases, they are.

Even as a mid killer, I regularly let the best player leave. If you looped the hell out of me then kudos, you can have the escape, especially when I can appreciate how much better at survivor they are than me.
I think the finisher mori has been so subtlety destructive to good sportsmanship. It's made everyone so uncool.

That is what I think as well when I play killer. If a survivor is a good sport, is a good looper and knows how to play against me without any BM, I will always respect that and let them have their W.
However, all bets are off if I come across survivors that play in a toxic manner. They always gets what they deserve.

Oh yeah, for sure. If you're clicking your flashlight at me, body blocking my very first chase, or taunting for no reason and just being an overall turd, then me being cool is done. I don't ever act like that as surv. I hate when I'm on a team of people BMing.
I just had a match against a Dredge who was trying for the adept and had clearly never used the killer (bless their heart). Got one hooking the whole match. I ran him around quite a bit at the beginning and if I can do it, I know they're bad. One teammate teabagged the hell out of him at the door. The other two kept running him around nearby instead of just leaving. I just took my sad little lower-case w and walked out.

I feel sorry for the killer in that case.
Sometimes I let the killer have me if they had a rough match. Give and take, you know.1 -
Not to be a downer, but if two people died at 5 gens against Springtrap that's a huge MMR moment.
6 -
I sometimes do too but they were all still screwing around and I just wanted to go.

That's part of the point. Like I said, they were really good. We couldn't even touch a gen without them constantly popping out of the doors. This killer recognized, when us last two just gave up, that we were severely outclassed, and actually let us do all 5 gens while they practiced throwing their axe at us over obstacles. It was cool of them to realize they'd had some lower-bracket players dumped on them and not just smash us all.

He was a good sport. When I get bad teams, the killer just makes sure to tunnel at 5 gens as the icing on the cake.

Fair enough. I too won't linger if others play like that.

what survivor were you playing? And was it on dead sands?

Exactly. I make this point constantly, but Survivors really don't care that much about winning. Not just in DBD either. You'll have sweats on either side regardless, but overall Survivors just want to play the game and feel like they participated. With how the game is balanced, a Killer extending mercy really does have a positive impact on the trial. There's no obligation for them to either, so it's extra meaningful when they do.

It was on Yamaoka. Sanctum to be exact.
I was playing Feng1 -
Yes, just so. It feels nice to do it as killer too. I don't care about some silly stats, if someone isn't playing serious then I don't need to either. Those breaks do everyone a world of good. The matches I remember the most are the ones where the barrier came down.
A lot of killer mains seem to think survivirs want to win every match but that's not the case. I just don't want to loose to someone who was terrible became they pulled something dirty. I'm totally fine with losing to people who are fantastic but played fair.

I'm not confident but i play similarly because i dont take the game (or myself) too seriously. I'm also a sucker for being serenaded by Bardic Inspiration. I don't enjoy farming at all though, I just have no problem playing favourites lol
3 -
Yeah same. A good Plot Twist and a surprise concert and my heart is yours. I'll farm a little, if they want to, but I'd rather the chosen one just head on out.
It was just nice to see people who were both super good at the game and relaxed about the outcome at the same time.

How he hell is there already a P100 Springtrap running around?
0 -
A better question is how did they get matched to my low quality self. Buddy was crazy good. Earned that p100.
1 -
I ha e a 100 dracula and played a round today without switching forms the whole time, cycled hooks, managed to kill 2.
2 -
My match making in a nutshell. I play survivor bet I'll get a killer way better than me and/or teammates that are the biggest potatos Idaho ever saw. Then I'll play killer and get babies or seal team 6 almost never anything in between.

Considering that he was released during the anniversary event, I bet getting prestige levels went by fast.
Speaking from experience, since I went from P56 to P100 on Sable during that time.0 -
Yeah I thought about that afterwards. Dude still had to play alot to farm it that fast. I don't have any P100 characters. Not that I've been trying to get any though.
1 -
I boosted my survivor pretty hard during the anniversary too. But I also dumped all my BP into that. My killers are all low prestige, but they get plenty of add-ons in the blooodweb so I don't need to spend much on them. The survivor bloodweb is a trash heap so I have to spend spend spend just to get what I want.
And yeah, my matchmaking is the same. Even putting me with a p100 killer is crazy. I think they all must have thought the same when they saw my skill level. Then as killer I get the most organized group of flashlight-clicking, meta perk-running, body-block and taunting turds.
1 -
It didn't take that many hours either. I managed to get almost 50 prestige levels in the span of 3 weeks, playing around 4-5 hours per night.

That Dracula match didn't happen to be on The Game with a Lara being the one jammin' the guitar?^^
0 -
If you played every night that's a pretty decent chunk of hours.
0 -
I was spreading my points alot. Getting alot of characters to P3.
0 -
I agree. Even when we do escape sometimes, it's really not fun going against someone playing dirty anyway.
2 -
Thanks for mentioning it!
This is the elephant in the room.
Sometimes it's like people don't even realize that in the story they are telling, there's something even bigger that should be the story itself.

Since Springtrap release I prestige about + 80 on different characters in total. I wasn’t attending event a lot even and didn't farm.
with new bp spending system it's 10 times easier to get 100 p

No it was Yamaoka with a performance by Sable.

That's part of the story, that the killer was way better than us and decided to be cool about it instead of just steamrolling lower bracket players for an easy 4k. This was the most skilled Springtrap I've ever seen and had no business being matched with a bunch of mid soloqers. We've all talked to death about how wonky the matchmaking is. It's just a given at this point.

I ended up discovering Mr Tatorhead because I got rolled by his Knight but I noticed he wasn't a sore winner by any means so I checked him out. seemed friendly. few months later I saw his 3 hour videos on my YouTube feed randomly and gave him some support.
1 -
Not every night. I think I played around 60% of the available days
0 -
Two kills on 5 gens that sound like slaughter to me so Im not surprised he extended that game for his sake.
0 -
He didn't benefit much from that extension. We didn't farm. He waited it out while we did all 5 gens and practiced throwing his hatchet over obstacles.
