The killer main entitlement is so much worse then survivor main and I am tired of it.

The killer main entitlement is so much worse and I am exhausted by it.

I just played a match against a Trickster that embodies everything I HATE so much about the normalization and entitlement of killers. I understand, not all, but it has gotten to a point that I just cannot justify this anymore.

In summary I played a match where I played very well. Avoided the killer, saved all my teammates correctly and did the objective. My build was head on, quick and quiet, blast mine, and mirrored illusion. So I use mirrored illusion on the gen to get the killer's attention and then blast mine to stun, and if I don't have time to run I enter a locker and use head on if they check. A build I am very fond of.

Well the match goes very well for the trickster and has hooked everyone twice, except me. My teammates decide to give up and throw themselves at the killer and they all go down. Now I could give up also, but I decide to try for hatch, I go to a gen further away and start repairing to avoid the crows spawning. The killer picks up the survivor and lets them wiggles out and gets them to show me where I am. The killer finds me and after a loop hooks me camps me until the auto unhook activates then downs me again, repeats and dies. He then lets the other 3 escape and and match ends.

In the end game chat, the killer proceeds to accuses me of the following to justify this.

Not doing the objective.

Not helping my teammates

Toxic behavior

Hiding

Dragging out the match "Not giving up when they did."

I PLAYED EXACTLY HOW KILLERS WANT ME TO PLAY

No meta perks

Didn't give up

Didn't taunt.

If this was a one off instance, I could laugh it off and move on. But this has seriously became the norm. The killer entitlement is just disgusting. I know, there is survivor main entitlement. I know this exists, but I can deal with survivors. Survivor is like rage quitting, meh, fine I can deal with that. But this cannot be allowed to remain.

I am tired of this, I am tired of the killer mindset they can do nothing wrong and survivors just need to "Get good"

The new killer "The Judgment" is coming out, and part of the power is made gained by survivors pointing at the killer building "Sin"

The devs actually sat in a room and said "Let's have the killer get its power when being pointed at because that' upsets people" Now there a survivor perk that is just a buff to killer' "Boon steadfast" because we are so scared to come up with a new perk to shake up the survivor meta. a

What about the anti tunnel? What's going on with that? OH we listened to like 3 killers and canned the entire idea.

And now to get told how entitled I am, how I deserve this, and how everything I said was wrong.

Good Night.

    I'm sorry that happened to you. I've not much to say on your experience because it sounds like it sucks, and clearly came from a total misunderstanding on the part of your team, should your recount be accurate. I won't lie that I've been a survivor in a game where one teammate has no hookstates, with everyone else on 2, and wondered whether or not they were hard ratting. I never call something like that out without hard proof, though, because otherwise you end up with this kind of situation.

    Clearly, someone made the call too early, others agreed, and you were unfairly targeted as a result. As killer, I've let 3 out and killed 1 in the event of a deliberate sandbag. I've also had BBQ & Chili reveal someone edgemap hiding from very early in the game, and hunted them down for doing so, but only to spread hooks in a game I was clearly going to win regardless of how I played.

    The other players here likely thought they were enacting justice.

    I do disagree firmly with one part of what you said though:
    The Judgement's power interacting with known survivor BM is not a result of killer entitlement so much as it is an acknowledgement of the silliness that takes place in the game. It's entirely counterable by simply not emoting or bagging in the killer's face, something that was never an optimal play to begin with. If it was anything other than an on-theme joke, they'd apply this mechanic to all killers to appease people upset about BM. They are not doing that, however, so it's quite clear that's not the thinking behind this addition.

    That has nothing to do with entitlement its just people having twisted viewpoint of what happens in a match. There is bunch of people in the game that think they know all that happens in the match and know what everyone has done or has not done. In reality they know nothing and have to admit I would rather blame the survivor who gave you up than the killer here. They are both idiots but in the end he was the one that decided to give you up. I have never done that when I knew the other person played the match well and killer was bad enough not to find them. Its not my job to help him.

    Also why you care about idiots opinion? I would have stated just that he had no idea what happened and its not my fault he could not find me and left. There is no reason to listen to idiots or care about their opinion. Still entitlement is not this but its just idiocy. You should not mix up the two.

    So you had one match where the killer didn’t let you get hatch like you wanted and this means that all killer players are entitled? Attitudes like this is why there is so much divisiveness and toxicity in this community. So sick and tired of the “us vs them”

    Sorry this happened to you, but unfortunately entitlement is not limited to a single silo of player types. I made a post a few days ago about getting hatemail from Survivors in Killer games where I got maybe 4 or 5 hooks because they didn't like that I tried to confirm a kill in the endgame, tunnelled a Survivor who aggressively ran at me after being unhooked or tried to go for a slug play at 1 generator left since they were all injured and doing gens instead of healing. As I was playing on console, these people didn't just put stuff in the EGC but actually went out of their way to send me messages on PSN telling me to do various unpleasant things to myself. And this isn't counting the instances of Survivors sandbagging each other, blaming each other in EGC, BMing each other and the Killer, or giving up as soon as someone else makes a mistake or does something they don't like, which we've all seen.

    I'm not invalidating your experience but I'm trying to point out that everybody is toxic in this game. To some people, the very fact that I tunnelled and slugged (and not by design) in those games I mentioned means that I'm toxic or a bad person. The Killer in that game believed you were toxic, probably because of your build.

    I don't have an answer to this, since it's a facet of every multiplayer community I've encountered, but one thing that definitely won't help is perpetuating the belief that there are 'sides' in this community, that there is conflict between them and that changes to the game are always zero-sum between these 'sides'.

    Who is saying that killer side is wholesome and all survivors are toxic, other than a few one-sided players in the community? There is nothing to “move past” because this idea is not something that is a commonly-held belief in the community. I see people here all the time complaining about killers being toxic, this post being a prime example. This is simply another strawman that only serves to proliferate the “us vs them” attitude.

  • Aven_Fallen
    Aven_Fallen Member Posts: 18,158

    It is not really a strawman. Some time ago (not recent, but also not ancient times) a very popular answer to Threads with complaints about Killers being toxic was that either one of the Survivors was toxic before or that Survivors from the previous game have been toxic and the Killer needed to vent. It was not really accepted that Killer players could also be toxic.

    This has gotten way less, this is true, you barely see it nowadays. But it was different.

  • NeverSolus

    God I hate typing this given entitlement really is two-sided, but :

    Wouldn't that decrease in frequency of the behavior suggest a decrease in the attitude? To presume it's still the case but is just not being seen (due to decreased frequency) would be a strawman itself, would it not?

    I understanding pointing out past events for context mind you, it's just that this particular comment made me squint at the irony of saying 'it's not a strawman' whilst presenting a strawman in opposition. Unless the point was to suggest that it once was not a strawman (which is true) but that doesn't really say much for the present tense of the conversation.

  • Aven_Fallen
    Aven_Fallen Member Posts: 18,158

    Yeah, saying that it was once not a strawman would have been correct. But @GeneralV spoke about the past and in the past it was indeed seen that Survivors are monster coated monsters with monster filling and Killers are cute little fluffballs who just want to have fun.

    It went past that, but not because there was a decrease in Killer toxicity. Both sides have a bunch of very toxic people.

    being too good is a punishable offense in both killer and survivors eyes. and its almost always a trickster too lol. it's almost always a Nancy, Kate or Sable too. there was a time I ran bond for a long time simply because I was running into these people too much that I was constantly dragging out these matches out of spite.

    in my case it's simply because I'm too good at navigating RPD, so I'm clearly just a rat who deserves to die, whereas everyone else is simply too easy to get caught.

    The point is that the killer sided with the survivors and accused OP of being a bad teammate when they weren't. Killers teaming with survivors is bannable.

    I’m sorry you’ve had this kind of experience, that would certainly be enough for me to log off for the day. But please know that it’s not a killer specific issue. The players that are toxic killers are the same people that are toxic survivors. I do think there are different standards for both roles, and things one role is criticized for doing is not for the other, but that goes for both and anyone that tries to say otherwise is just biased past the point of communication (which is the real entitlement lol) There are plenty of people who will excuse anything if it happens to be their preferred role, and will say something isn’t toxic when it obviously is, but that’s something both roles suffer for. It’s not killers as a whole, it was a guy that was a jerk that happened to be playing killer at that moment. Still, your frustration is understandable and I’m sorry you went through that. I wish you better luck and better teammates in your future games!

    Part of the problem is that the killer often doesn't know what's happening. I try my best as killer to gage and referee what's going on on the survivor end. If people give up, those are the ones I hook. The ones who keep trying and being active are the ones I let go if other people are ruining the match. A day doesn't go by where I don't give someone hatch for this reason. Letting people leave for throwing is kinda crap, and I've lost a lot of lives as survivor from teammates throwing and the killer having zero consideration for it.

    I had a survivor match yesterday where my whole team had two hooks and I had none. Once it got down to two people, he slugged the other and left her as bait for me. I left my gen and picked her up and he relentlessly pursued me, tunneling me out, and the other player got hatch. I wasn't on Steam for this match, but I'm sure he called me a rat in chat, even though I spent the whole match unhooking, healing, and doing gens, and I went for the pick up rather than wait for bleed out. He just couldn't find me, so I must be a rat. I'm currently running a stealth build that let's me be active without detection so I have to expect a certain amount of that, I guess, but it does suck to be doing the most and have them judge you just because they can't see what you're doing.

    So yeah, there's toxicity, entitlement, and just misunderstansing on both sides. Most people seem to play both roles, so they're not going to be different people when they switch. It's all one playerbase.

    "Both sides have their unfortunate share of toxic players and they both have it in equal measure."

    That is the opposite of an "us vs them" attitude.

    Yeah, that is pretty much it.

    Good thing it doesn't happen as often anymore.

    We live in reality where no side has only good people on it, logicaly theres way higher chance to meet toxic survivor then killer because theres more of them and people tend to follow the crowd so if one is toxic chances that others will write slurs on killer are high enough so theres maybe the cause or the people claiming survivors are more toxic thing is people are same and doesnt matter which side they are on but fact is the survivors will be more toixic then killers because theres 4 of them with shared objective against 1 killer so chances are higher there but its more about people.

    From my personal experience I get most toxicity from swf or like duos where survivors curse me with their buddy as killer then killer hating me as survivor, killers mostly are complaining about perks,maps or things like this then sluring on people straigh on their first message, but this can differ for anyone else but chances to get more toxic survivor then killer are higher which makes it fact.

  • Abbzy
    Abbzy Member Posts: 3,366

    Tbh nowdays sometimes its hard to guess if it was luck, skill or cheats because theres many effects from many perks and some techs and this combined with this games cheaters arsenal where theres like cheat for almost anything is realy hard to have clear judgement on what is happening.

    More often than not, I see players who has bad rep in both roles. Being toxic just for the sake of it.
    It's really not a side-issue, it is respectfully a player issue.

  • MrBuffalo
    MrBuffalo Member Posts: 361

    What I find funnier is this toxicity is so bad. I have had players come to my profile on steam to say one last insult cause I did something they personally didn't like. Even have had killers and survivors straight up lie and say I did something toxic to try and start an argument.

    Now I just leave my profile on private because the community in this game has reached such a level of toxicity that even just playing the game normally sets them off. So it doesn't surprise me that this happened.

    I'm agreeing with OP's point with The Judgement BM power thing.

    If this was any other game I would have agreed with you and thought "Oh yeah its a funny bit about funny pointing and taunting" but this is DbD and this game has a certain context when it comes to the community and how they feel about "pointing, T-bagging and standing in the exit gate" for this instance we'll talk about how certain killer players react when survivors stand at the exit gate.

    A forum post was made a while ago and there have been many like it where that killer player was complaining about a match they just had about survivors standing in the exit gate and asking them to just leave. I told them he can just hit them out and force them out that way if it was bothering them that much. Their response then was about how its for "the survivors ego that they miss the hit". Just them making the killer miss a swing at the exit gate pissed off that player so much they made the effort to go to the forums to talk about "survivor ego's and toxicity" and unfortunately most players were agreeing with what that OP said.

    So with that ramble out of the way. I think this part of Judgements power just doesn't sit right with me as it just looks like the devs are siding with these players that complain that a survivor was doing something they deem "toxic" but at the same time when a killer is toxic like with what this OP's post is about the survivors are either told to deal with it or what happened to OP and you just stop playing because that kind of match would just ruin the game for everyone.

    JUST TO PREFACE THIS. Im not saying one side is more toxic or than the other or this us vs them mindset. I think both killers and survivors are honestly as bad as each other. Toxic and bullies for no rhyme or reason.

    So I did not read every single comment but I am shocked that no one seemed upset about the bannable offense of taking the game hostage and forcing one survivor to rat out their teammate or just sit on the ground slugged to prevent the ever feared hatch. As for the OP, I have been clear that I am a survivor main and this happens ALL THE TIME. Truthfully report them. It is against the rules for the killer to work with the survivor. Or vice versa.

  • MrBuffalo
    MrBuffalo Member Posts: 361

    You know I didnt even notice that you make a really good point. HOWEVER….We know BHVR seem to like….Never ban people. Even known cheaters just run rampant so I think people just dont bother reporting this kind of behavior because most of the time nothing happens.

    But you really did make such an excellent point.

    I genuinely do not believe the Devs thinking here runs that deep at all. They're aware of the trend of this way to taunt the killer, and think the killer with the vibe of holy retribution would be a little more on theme to actually respond to that mechanically. And, quite frankly, I think seeing this actually get value in a game would be funny. It's not a serious mechanic designed to sway the match or have a playstyle built around. It's switched off entirely by not doing two specific 'BM' things.

    Again, if this change was specifically to stop the bagging/pointing/beckoning overall to make killers happy, all killers would immediately get a tier of bloodlust when this happens as a baseline, or the survivors would just explode or something. Survivors remain free to do this to every other killer in the game, though.

    No one is upset because leaving 2nd survivor slugged to deny last survivor hatch is not holding the game hostage and is not bannable. No one is being forced to rat out their teammates. Holding the game hostage means that one side is preventing the other side from progressing the game. I don’t know if you realize this, but there is a bleed out timer for the person who is slugged. Do I think there should be a way for people to abandon match or accelerate that timer in this situation if they want? Absolutely. But the survivors are not being held hostage. Slugged survivor will eventually bleed out and last survivor has options. They can try to hide and do actions to avoid crows until other survivor bleeds out so hatch spawns, or they can take their chances with killer in a final chase. I know this isn’t a popular opinion, but last survivor is not entitled to hatch and I have no problem with killer trying to get 4K if that’s the way they choose to play.

    You can keep reporting it if you want, but those reports will just get thrown into the trash bin because it’s not bannable.

    You reports arent valid here becuase slugging is legit strategy by devs so slugging for 4k isnt banneable offence. Same is as exsample reporting people for staying in gate area and not leaving or going into the match to farm some more points or look for hatch and not leaving it may be annyoing for the killer whcih is true but its not holding game hostage.

    Personaly I slug for 4k if I know where the last survivor is or saw him but if I have no clue or perks to find him like bbq then I move to rng part.

    Hatch is not win in my opinion its rng that can favor each side and doesnt proofs anything in skill just pure luck same with gates spawn after hatch is closed its rng you can have gates that can be patroled easily from check spot or gates that are hidden like on larrys or hawkins, 3k is win with same weight as 4 k just forth kill is cherry on top of that dessert nothing more.

    That sounds like an awful match. It's not just killers though. As a rule it's 6 of one, half a dozen of the other. I come across survivors who are just as toxic as killers can be. That killer does sound pretty toxic.

  • Galafure
    Galafure Member Posts: 91

    You clearly misunderstand. It is bannable to work with the killer. I never said holding the game hostage was bannable. You just like in other posts read something and went on your own thing. And if that is your belief on the trying to force to the survivor to help the killer. Then you clearly have no idea as what we are talking and so overall I am not sure why you even commented.

    Like the guy before you dont understand. WORKING WITH THE KILLER is a bannable offense. Not the slugging for the 4k, that is just a sign of lack of skill. You guys really need to read and understand before you jump in. This does nothing for the discusion. But for the sake of saying, I will say my piece and ignore every killer whining that their lack of skill style is the best or whatever. But slugging is for pressure. So killers that slug the entire team just because they had a bad day in real life, there is no strategic value to the slug. They just want to ruin peoples fun. Should be bannable. And I have reported for and seen action taken messages. Take that for what it is. Overall its just another way for cheesing a win without having skill at the game. At higher mmr those players get wrecked so it is what it is.

    Can you explain how slugging for the 4K is “lack of skill”? What would be the skillful play in this situation? Since you seem to be very interested in telling people how they should play killer, can you show us some of your killer gameplay to teach us what we should do when there are two survivors left?

    No, read my post, it is a killer specific issue.

    I do not hold an opinion that survivor's a good and killer is bad. BUT

    The problem is there so may ways that killers are actively sucking ruining the game, and nothing can be done about because they are all victims.

    This match was not a one off match. It constant stream of everything in all the time. Anytime any of this needs to be addressed it's oh but think of the poor killers. Can't do anything by tunneling, that would ruin it for killers. The entire mechanic of sabo is a dead mechanic. Survivors have given up on entirely because the killers whined and whined until it got nerfed the point that is is just dead.

    Killer's 100% take the power role and use to just make the match miserable for 1 player, and it's not me every match. It happens to my teammates all the time, 1 player gets screwed and the the other 3 can't really do anything, this happens all the time. I know that there are toxic survivors. But survivors whining in the end game chat after they played badly is just not comparable to killers actively trying to ruin the game for people and then the devs rewarding this, by refusing to give survivors tools to deal with this.

    THE GIVE UP EPIDEMIC.

    Of cause survivors are giving up this is miserable. I know there are some survivors who just funnel the cool aid and go well sure the killer actively tried to make a survivor dc because they looped him for too long but sometimes gens go to fast so it's fine.

    WHAT is wrong with online games, this never use to be a thing.

    No IT IS A SIDE ISSUE

    Because the killer specific problems are worse and not being taken seriously.

    I know on the forums that unless you post the most milk toast Reponses you get mass downvoted. But I am tired of pretending that matches like this one, aren't happening even semi consistently. Or that it is even close to equal to survivors spamming the crouch button.

    I Know everybody wants to say how wrong I am but there now issues for people even trying to play the game and they can't do it, because the teammates keep giving up and I CANNOT BLAME THEM.

  • Your_Dad_Playing_DbD
    Your_Dad_Playing_DbD Member Posts: 136

    You continuing to insist that this is a “side” issue is the biggest problem here. There are lots of players who play both sides that are toxic in the game. There are also lots of killer and survivor players who are friendly and gracious when they win or lose. As others have said, toxicity is an issue with players, not an issue of one side vs another. Try playing killer for a little while and you will see that toxic stuff happens on both sides. There is nothing productive about people coming here to share an example from one game about something that somebody did to them that they don’t like and then using that to demonize the entire killer/survivor player base.

    Aww poor baby survivors can never do anything wrong while the killer is the big meanie face for playing to win. On top of that youre running toxic stun and blind perks that does nothing but breed toxicity. You know what else isnt fun? Getting head on stunned which has no counterplay as well as getting blastmined which also has no counterplay because its tied to the killer objective. Maybe think before you post?
