getting reported because i'm a killer?

So by playing killer a lot I've come to realize: that about 3 out of 4 games the survivors will flame suuuuper hard in end game chat for whatever reasons they can. Which as unpleasant as that is, I've come to terms with it as: just being in a bad community and having to deal with it. But now I'm getting reported by SWF groups of 4 for "hacking" because they are mad I 4k'd them easily?

The game I just played they said they would all report me for lag switching (which trust me I was not) because they had a lag spike towards the end of the game. I've been playing many video games for a looong time throughout my life. One thing I hate more than anything else is hackers, because they ruin the whole purpose of games: TO HAVE FUN. So it REALLY irritates me when I get blamed and reported for something I despise and don't do. Hacking is one of the biggest problems with games nowadays, and people are cheapening that issue by indiscriminately throwing that term around.

So now I have to stop killing people as the killer, WHICH IS MY JOB, so that I can avoid making people angry? Because now I'm in fear of being banned, even though I've done nothing wrong; since people keep threatening to report me, though I have no idea if they follow through or not. Thankfully I haven't been banned for an invalid reason yet, or at all for that matter. However, it feels as if it's only a matter of time since another SWF group of 3 just reported me for speed hacking the other night.

The funny thing is, most of the games I get reported were quick and "easy" games. So even if I was a hacker, there would've been no need or reason to do so at the time. Though I guess it's because I did so well, comparatively to them or other killers, that made them think I'm hacking? But I can't tell if they truly believe the nonsense they're spewing, or if they're just being salty trolls.

Is this just a regular thing now? Play as survivor. Get mad because you don't survive. Start flaming and reporting killers, that simply played the game the way it was intended to be played?

    Survivors got angry because even though they play the op side, even in a SWF, they still dont manage to escape.
    It hurts even more knowing how broken the game is and they just relieve that anger towards you because they cant critizie themselves.
    Dont worry about the reports because they are completely meaingless and you will never get banned^^

    My perinal advice is to consider the after-game salt as proof that you have done well
