I'm too nice to be a killer :(

Even though I do pretty well as a killer, I just can't stand toxic survivors, I could have camped, tunneled but I wouldn't. Since I was a survivor main 80% of my time and I utterly hate those now that I won't do that to them (even if I do, I'm not feeling good about it as well) but what should I do against those toxic survivors (with toxic perks combinations to bully a single killer)? I can do mori, very best addons to kill all of them but that won't help me rank up as high rank.

    The best you can do is to keep working on your capabilities and learning from your own mistakes.

    Whenever I'm up against toxic players, I tend to just tell myself that I'm the better man and that this is only one match, the next could be better, it could be worse, but as long as I learn, I'll improve. Just keep trying, @PeenutsButt3r , and you'll become a better player! :)

    Best thing you can do is just play your game your way. Do not let others force you to change your play style. "Toxic" players will be that way no matter what you do. Just let them do it, play your game and move onto the next trial.

    Play how you want. In real life, I'm super nice. But get me inside the confines of a set of rules, I can be pretty brutal. I've given ONE Survivor the hatch in all my time, and that was because their team really, really let them down and I genuinely felt bad for them. Does this mean everyone should play this way? No. :)

    i am at times more a nice one...it drives Mr Mushwin up the wall ((who is a killer main btw lol)) i always give the hatch, well mostly unless they just keep sqirming and dont understand i just then end the game by a hook but i like to try and be fair i am never toxic, i dont loop, tunnel etc

    @Peanits

    Is 'Kindness' what you have nicknamed your killers weapon?

    No, but now that you mention it, we should definitely try to work that into a weapon cosmetic at some point. That's a top tier dad joke.

    I would buy that cosmetic instantly. Take my money.

    Keep playing the way you feel you should play.

    It will all balance itself out in the end.

    You'll get ######### on in the end chat no matter how you play.

    This.

    Do "X" to kill a survivor and your a "toxic SOB".

    Don't do "X", survivors escape, and it's "git gud".

    This applies to most ANYTHING and everything a killer can do that affects survivors.

    I legit, let a survivor wiggle out of my grip to open the gate BEFORE the EGC could kill him...I mean, I just stood there....end chat/ ez *insert homophobic slur*. No joke...that happened.

    "Play how you want" goes both ways.

    Don't let people saying you tunneled because they ran into you on accident after an unhook make you feel bad, but don't let people shaming you for being "nice" make you feel bad either.

    Im the kind of guy that mori you after I let you crawl a while to the hatch.

    When the killer let me go via hatch of gates I make sure to complain to them at the chat and tell them how horrible it is for them to do that. Do you do that so the survivor wont complaint at the end? Not with me!

    I've learned that even when you make a full attempt to play fairly and not perform toxic behaviours, you still get called out. No point pleasing the unpleasurable

    Too nice? I think you mean too human.

    Yeah I feel the same, I've had full stacks of Devour hope and continued hooking them until they were either A) final hook then mori or B) just hook them the last time, same with if I take an ivory mori now. But I think it's only partial, because if someone is going out of their way to make me miserable I will mori/destroy them. I literally take a tombstone piece or ivory mori for that special survivor in the group sometimes. I still don't camp/tunnel them but I will make sure they do not leave the trial alive.

    I've rarely had a complaint either from my playstyle, they know what they did. In my experience survivors are only salty if you held back (gave someone the hatch etc) so I don't do it anymore. Although I do remember one memorable DC after a Claudette hook farmed in front of me while I had EW3 and I went for her, she insta DC'd some people can't handle when killers play fair and call out their toxic playstyle.

    Be careful though, I've had a match where I turned a blind eye to a survivor who was just unhooked and went elsewhere only to have the survivors all body me at the end because I held back too much. There's a fine line. Kill to your best, but keep in mind they are your opponents and will take advantages if you give them the chance. You can play fair but still play well as I do this personally and get no salt and have done so up to rank 5. Higher you go though, the less viable playing entirely nice is. Just a warning.
