I 'woder' why it feels like dbd matches are declining
Personally, I've been against a looot of bully squads lately as a killer. which is fine, i know how to counter most of them and usually do fairly good, but if they get good loops and i don't get them okay, sure. That doesn't bother me. What bothers me is I've been joining peoples' chats if they have yt, tiktok, or ttv as part of their name. I stop in. talk while i queue up again then dip out. usually follow them too. Lately though I have gotten random friend requests on steam from people who got super salty after a match since i essentially "bullied" their bully squad or broke their toxic duo dynamic. I expect the after game salt sometimes, yes. These people are taking it to a new low, though. Recently from blood moon toxic duos/bully squads I've been getting after game death threats and chat filter bypasses to say slurs etc. Me and 3 of my friends who were all playing killer games in discord dropped into one of her survivors from her match. she was talking ######### on stream and told her to drink bleach live on stream. We all reported that. Within like 2 hours she got a ban on twitch. not sure for how long but hey twitch reports worked for once. Why stoop so low to try and ruin someones day like that though? You went in to be toxic and instead you got schooled. Take it as a lesson. Don't go even lower. Hard to want to be a part of a community where the bad is seen more than the good it feels.

I get a little amazed when people get surprised when they interact with toxic people, they get toxicity back, and then come on the forums as if it's a reporter giving the weekly temperature of DBD.
I get toxicity from killer mains, literally had someone complain about me using Shoulder The Burden on a tunneled person - yet I just respond with a "Kk".
I don't really care to engage in toxicity, so I get astonished when people hate toxicity, get involved in it, and then use it as a bragging thing or painting the other side a certain way.
I must be in a different world here because I'll outright one word you or promptly ignore the toxicity, but I do believe people in the DBD community definitely gets off on it, for sure.
Then come on the forums for validation, feeding the tribalism cycle, and stuff. Just strange.

Playing survivor during this blood moon event, a majority of killers are tunneling and camping, and having an overall toxic playstyle. … Which is extremely weird for people playing an event.
And when I played killer, I had leavers in 80% of my matches despite me playing very casual.
Now, since there keeps being posts from people on both sides crying about "waaah my opponents are being toxic", my guess is that people play in an unsportsmanlike manner because they feel like their opponents are, so it's like a downwards spiral of people just behaving badly towards each other.
What people needs to do is leave their revenge mentality behind.
If you got tunneled last match, don't bully the next killer you face.
Same for killers, don't start tunneling and camping because your previous match went poorly.
Treat each match as a new chapter. Leave previous matches behind.2 -
I don't know what to tell you. Trash talk is a part of PVP. Are these actionable threats? Are they posting your information? Are they making plans? Or are they just raging and saying mean things? If it bothers you, you have the option to report it. Otherwise, calls to the community to change basic human behavior under stress (which this game is extremely stressful for what it is) is just unrealistic.

I see someone being toxic as them losing in every way. It does not matter what the end result of the match was if you be toxic you lost. Its also interesting of those people that they think most people somehow would get upset of their statement when in reality it more of them watching some random guy go off on chat in a game. Only one who is upset is the guy who is toxic.
Had one recently who got toxic because could not find me or the other survivor while we were doing the gens on the opposite side of the map. Then when I managed to finish my gen he finally by luck found me as I chose the wrong direction and was really in a bad spot managed to still run about half a map and the guy humps me and hooks me. I let myself die so the other can try hatch that they got. Then he goes off on me on the end game chat calling me a snake and claiming my chase lasted only few seconds. Telling me to 1v1 him. Like you don't need to tell me more that you got annoyed the humping was enough. He really thought that it upset me when in reality it just makes him just look like a fool. I decided after the first two survivors died in the match that my win is the gen being finished and I did that anything else after that is just bonus.

Lowest ive seen was them going to my steam profile to report anything they could find and leave "clown" awards. With which a funny name i had for 13 years that everyone i've played with compliments me on, was then banned. Had me trying out annonymous mode for once. And understanding why its often used.
I went back to the same name again, been a few months no problems, but everytime another player in dbd starts getting mad at me about something, i end up changing my name to something else for a day or so just in case. Ive even been told they reported my name etc, even tho i didnt tunnel or camp or grief or slug the team or anything. Just playing the killer by the rulebook and they still attack. Then the very next round people laughing at the name again.
