This toxicity in the endgame chat is unbearable. What has happened to some people?
hello,
This is what happened to me: I played as the killer. Everything was as usual: hang someone, find the next one, etc. All four escaped. In the endgame chat, I was called a “low-skill a**hole” because I played fair. ?
This was my response to him:
And you play with Windows of Opportunity, because you're too stupid to remember the layout of a map. You also play with DS and a medikit with red and purple syringes because you're afraid. "Mamaaa i cant escape the killer" Not to mention that you also play SWF (feels like cheating, right?).
Honestly, I was so angry… on this day ( cause of long work and stuff): people should take a look at themselves before criticizing others!
Admittedly, in this situation, I'm not much better than the other person because I let myself be provoked… but how do you deal with such provocations? Other than turning off the chat or ignoring it?
I'm just asking for advice.

The "penguins from Madagascar" method: smile and wave.

I either say the word 'cry' or just repeat gg after every one of their messages. 1 word answers are the way.

Not much other than just accept it, ignore it or turn off chat unless BHVR actually does something.
I can't help but hate the DBD community for how toxic it is. a lot of survivors are too entitled, whines, and throw every slur and insult over everything you can think of. Doesn't matter what killer you pick, how you play or the outcome of the match they always complain about something. Rarely ever see it from killers.

Competitive games are always going to have toxic behavior. Just do your best to ignore it and move on. I'm glad I play console and have no endgame chat.

Best reaction is none or something short like"sweats" etc. but i get what you mean you played quite fair and get insulted for it thats reason why good guys finish last sentence just play as you want but when I see or guess they are swf and sweat then my mr bad guy steps in and I dont care who gets tunneled or sluged I go for win because nothing then ignoring (which takes some mental level which not everyone has and even if you have some as you said hard day at work or multiple matches lik this in short period time can do something) or win hardcore and laugh or mock them back but they usualy spawn one toxic phrase and leave.

I know it is easier said than done (and I also fail to do this sometimes), but ignoring and just leaving is the only valid option in my opinion.
Maybe some "ggwp" or "sry you feel like that" beforehand (and then leaving without even waiting for a response), but discussions/arguments should be avoided at all costs in these situations. You cannot "win".
People acting like this won't change even if you try to reason with them or talk back. Also it is hard to fathom or estimate, what the reason could be that someone takes out their frustrations like this. With the knowledge about it you maybe would pity them.

This might sound ridiculous, but if you're planning to play fair, prepare to get insulted if any Survivors got away.
YES, you get insulted for playing fair and not winning.
That's just how it is, honestly.
Personally I still play as fair as I can, but I'm getting so used to insults and threats that I don't feel any emotions from it already. Now I treat all of them as bot, type ggs, and leave.

Chat box needs to go

use the insults, use them as your fuel for your gameplay and show no mercy lol. if people are going to say toxic things regardless if they win or lose then surly its better to not play by their rules so your the one thats winning. they can say whatever they want to me, at the end of the day im the one laughing when i win and its even funnier when these people get worked up over it.

can’t you just turn it off lol

Join us on console. No chat box to ever worry about! 😎
Y'all really don't need those 60 frames or filters anyway!

I usually just respond with "uh huh" "yeah" "sure" and then "whatever" before leaving. It tends to rile people up, but that's kinda what they get for trying to vent at others expense.
At the end of the day, there's nothing you really can do. If they wanna lord over winning a DBD match like it means anything and start throwing insults, they can be the crowned the Royal head of Burger King, same level of street cred isn't it?

What i do when players get toxic in chat, is try to confuse them as much as possible. Like start talking about the most random thing that comes to mind and has nothing to do with what they are saying. Because those players want a fight, its their entertainment. They like arguing for fun, especially when they have a group to back them up. So saying things completely random and confusing just throws them off their high horse trying to understand whats going on, and in the end you get to laugh at how funny the random stuff you come up with are, and how they don't know what to say anymore.
As an example theyd say "ggez" and id be like "you know what else is ez? Toasted bologna + ketchup sandwiches. One of the best things in life since sliced bread."
Try continuing with comebacks and arguements after that lol

How about the chat is closed by default and you can open it.
You will notice that no one will take time to engage with the chat at all if it isn´t right there to throw slurs on it.
It is only appealing to throw slurs if you know the other side can see it. So If the chat is off by default nearly no one will use it cause many people won´t talk to a wall.

TBH, the endgame chat rarely its a positive experience. If you stomp, probably you will hear some slurs; if you lose for too much, you will probably hear a slur too; if you win bit a little, probably people you say you've used something that its not fair; if you lose by a little, probably you will be willing to say you've lost because of something unfair if they trash talk you.
The best advice is just to close it and never read, as if never existed.

First, are you sure it was referring to you and not one of their teammates?
Assuming it was you, I would say: They match skill against skill. If I'M a low skill whatever, so are you, buddy

Endgame chat needs to be eliminated. 95% of my endgame chats are people being toxic if I win or being toxic if they will. There is literally no benefit of having this in the game. Also, I’ve never seen BHVR ban anyone for chat abuse, even for stuff like encouraging self harm. If they’re not going to police the chat, they should just get rid of it.

I always just say thanks.
For instance, got a message the other day from someone angry that I pressured 2 hooks at different times because they allowed the person on hook to hang til they were nearly 2nd stage. Once they went second, I then immediately left the area. They said in end-game: "Embarassing, lmao. Your camping and going back to hooks skills all game are AMAZING"
I just said "thanks" and they had nothing left to say. From their perspective, I either don't care (this is the truth of it) or I'm toxic and not worth continuing the conversation. Either way the conversation usually stops.

This is a big reason that I don't think tunneling and slugging should be seen as a problem. Are they unfair? Maybe. But, you play fair, you get comments like this. "GG EZ" and it's like… What do survivors want? They want the win to be handed to them, and the killers to solely exist for their entertainment.

Honestly, I just end up agreeing with them and it makes them mad because I'm not reacting the way they want me to lol. If I received the same message you did, I would've said "You're right, I'm not that good. You were a strong team to go up against." Then they'll probably say something rude again or be like "Yeah, that's right" but then you keep validating them, letting them know they are right. They either A. get upset because you are not reacting the way they want you to because the point of being rude is to make someone hurt or B. back off because you're being more mature than they are or C. boost their ego, gain overconfidence in being right, and then most likely look like a major idiot when they are wrong in the future, which would be karmic justice at that point.
Alternatively, you could take a more psychological approach, it's worked well for me in the past. Pull their IP address, find out where they live, learn their daily routines, start changing little things in their life (i.e. letting air out of their tires, change their thermostat, trade out their pet for a lookalike, etc.). Just enough to make them question reality and start going crazy. Then when you've taken their spouse, job, and home, you look at them and say "low-skill a**hole" and walk away :)

Have to be real here and say how it usually is in my end game chat. There is nothing nobody says anything. Sometimes someone might go "gg" or be salty. Still outright toxicity is really rare maybe once every 20-30 matches.
My main theory is why some people see more "toxicity" is either how they play or where they play. At least me playing in the Frankfurt server rarely get any interaction in the end game chat and there is a lot of germans and russians there still mainly quiet.

I would like to thank everyone who posted their different opinions here for their encouragement and the way they handled it. It really helped me a lot. I will take a lot of it with me personally !!
Love ya 😍😘

So you're telling me you were toxic in the chat too, calling someone st*pid when all you had to do was report them? Well, there's your answer... That's why the community is so rotten Because you're playing along. And I assure you, this has already scarred you forever, and now you're going to hate the survivors even if they don't do or say anything bad to you xD because people in this game always end up getting hurt.. Be smart, don't open the chat...

Please, that would be wonderfull, if I didn't have to close it myself…. :-D

I've always just laughed at getting insulted in messages or end game chat. To me, people getting extremely upset over something so insignificant like losing in a game where there's nothing on the line to be pretty damn funny.

Last night I played as Freddy, and the SWF team were 4 Claudettes in the same exact skin with flashlights. All of them identical. I actually got accused of being a "tunneling PoS", and was told to off myself, lol. This is a terrible community for no reason.

I usually don’t encounter toxic people in end-game chat, but that’s changed over the past few days. Not sure why, but I’ve been getting a ton of hate.
I just had a game where I had to go AFK for a bit and didn’t start playing until only two gens were left. I actually managed to kill two survivors before the last gen popped. I didn’t tunnel, camp, or slug at all because that’s not how I enjoy playing. I didn’t even bring add-ons because I like giving myself a challenge, which is also why I rarely use slowdown perks. I still get hate, lol.

I once replied "I'm so sorry that you have so much sadness and pain in your life. Have a Happy New Year"...

I'm very sorry to hear that, and I'm shocked... that's definitely going too far. I really hope you reported that player.

yep exacl. what i mean. Insult for no reason or just playing the Game. Sad

So silly, right? This is sadly another example of players being super toxic and going out of their way to not hide any of it. They also had head-on, flash bangs, and blast mines. Tailor-made bully squad, but yet the killers are the problem somehow. smh.
