Tbagging, emotes, clicky clicky - does it affect your gameplay?

Yesterday I played a total of 7 games 4 or 5 of which were against full 4 man SWF teams. Almost all of them were tbaggers, flashlight clickers and "pallet emote warriors". Some of these SWF teams invited me to their voice party after the games telling me how much of an (insert insult here) I am.

One of the players however told me it was a "strategy".

Now here I am wondering if there's a killer who can honestly say it affects their own gameplay in terms of focus and mistakes.


Does THIS affect the way you play? If so, do you play more focused or do you actually tend to do more mistakes if people act cheeky?

    Depends really. If somebody is teabagging me I will prioritise throwing them on the hook and not care if I'm tunneling but I won't chase a teabagger I know is strong at looping.


    With a normal survivor I try not to tunnel early on but if you bag I won't care so it does have some affect.

    The thing is

    i dont care if you play good or bad, toxic or not

    there are people who need attention and people who wants their piece. but if i am in mood im a beast im sure you all know that or at least most of you (sry#nooffense). So if i am playing with hate i will ######### win. If im just chilling around then yea it's cool if they all get out. As long I had at least some good chases

    If 2 or more of the survivors are toxic and I'm playing leatherface I just facecamp everyone. If there is only 1 toxic surv I just play normally but trying to tunnel that guy just a little bit. If I'm not playing bubbaboi and there are 2 or more toxic survs I play normally but always trying to tunnel.

    Btw why did you hide your build? I wanted to see it xD

    Tea bag, emote, flashlight! Oh no!

    People should get this game less seriously. There are killers who get upset for everything, So does some survivors of course.

    I dont get how people can find t-bag or all these stuff "toxic" or "punishable". All they are doing is making you a favor.

    Look at that Cake in your last clip. She stood near the pallet for the whole breaking animation. During that time she could have got so much more distance.


    Is like getting mad to someone using no mither, or to a killer shaking his head and wasting time before pick you up (like you have done in your clips).

    There is no reason...

    Just a question, why you care covering perks and add-ons? You seriously think someone care about that NOED/Insidious? Dont be afraid to use a perk or an item just because some people call it "toxic".

    It's cute how you assume to know what perks I'm using based on your personal picture of Bubba. In this case you're entirely wrong, though. I never use noed because people rarely manage to repair more than 2-3 generators in my games. As for Insidious it has become boring. Used it for years - traded it for something more fun. 🙂

    Also I never wasted time in my clips shaking my head as both games were over at this point.

    Game 1: Someone is hooked in the basement (which proves I didn't run insidious. Also I was standing still for seconds in the first clip which would have activated Insidious visibly 😉), one is tbagging in front of me, another survivor is using emotes behind him. Therefore only 1 survivor was able to do gens which means I already won at that point.

    Game 2: The whole team was dead already so why bother picking her up as quickly as possible? It's not like she was going anywhere.

    Doesn’t bother me.

    Depends on which killer I am. Spirit? BM me at your own risk. Clown? He completely lacks any lethality, so even if I wanted to try and do something, I probably couldn't. Regardless, if given a choice that won't lose me the game, I'll tunnel emote/clicky warriors.

    It used to bother me, now it doesn't. If they die, they die. If they don't, that's how it is

    I assumed these perks because i cant find any other reason to hide other perks.

    Also, i was using the "head shaking" as an esample. Your match were over, but there are people who do that just because it took long to catch a survivor, and all it does it let them waste more of your time.

    I dont get why you are getting so defensive.

    Yeah I break down and start crying every time someone spams crouch.

    The only thing that bothers me is tbagging. It shows cockiness and to me that is a personal invitation to deflate their ego. I still play a normal game but I ensure they don't get out that game.

    Honestly I try not to let it bother me, since I do the same thing as a survivor to take the aggro if, and only IF the killer was being toxic first.

    As the Killer I only let it affect me if I am tired or already angry from a earlier match. Often times the t-bagger or the clicky click clicker will die. And take their team with them.

    T-bagging is just a way to show their "superiority", and then if you down them too quickly they DC

    Flashlight clicking is used to distract, I personally don't because I simply suck with flashlights

    About emotes, those help at times, but I use them in two ways, to either tell other survivors what to do or to make sure the killer finds an annoying/useless survivor (Last time I did so however was a couple of months ago)

    Some survivors do it because they know the knee jerk reaction they will get out of some killers that fall for this type of distraction.

    Its part of the game.... if it wasn’t t bagging or pointing it would be something else to get someone’s attention.

    I just think it’s funny cuz sometimes it’s obvious they want to get downed to use their DS or they try to get your attention with the flashlight to get your focus on someone else other than the person who is on last hook.

    I don't get pissed about being teabagged or other sorts of killer bullying beyond just sighing a bit. I know of I alter my playstyle to "punish" toxic survivors, it's going to be suboptimal for me and give the toxic people what they want. The most I'll give to a very annoying person is a twirl or a shake before I pick them up.

    People need to control their tempers. The survivors WANT you to get mad. Don't chase a survivor who wants to be chased because they probably know what they're doing - instead, ignore them and find one of their teammates. Every second Ms. Clicky Claudette is out in the open teabagging you is a second she could be using to actually bully you with gens.

    No.

    That's fine and everything but do you really want to hurt me? Do you really want to make me cry?

    I usually take the bait because it's fun when it doesnt work out for the survivor the way they thought it would. At least half the time it does though so I sometimes play it smart by giving em a quick tea bag back with Ghosty before I continue to hunt down their teammates that aren't expert loopers. The Ghost with the most will rid you of any tea bagging insecurities you once had. Teabagging from one end of the map to the next while looking for people is a great feeling. Even if it's an optimal comm team you can chase them out the exit while pulling some slick ass dance moves that are sure to leave your dignity fully intact.

    The survivors that t-bag and/or emote just want you to chase them and are probably good loopers. I take out the bad loopers first, then I have all the time in the world to kill the better players. If all four are like that, I try look for other signs to determine wich one I should eliminate first (the one with a toolbox for example).

    I specialy like when a t-bagger flashlight user just follow me around instead of doing gens.

    For me, it depends on the type of match so far. For instance, say I'm chasing this survivor, and he's doing really well at looping. I break it off, go for the others, who I find aren't so good. The first survivor then starts teabagging/clicking in my line of sight. I don't take that as toxic, I take it as him trying to get attention off his team, which is a valid strategy.

    Now, if he's doing it at ever loop, every time he's unhooked, just hounding me into a chase the entire match, just because ego? I'll take it as toxic. I'll ignore it when possible, go for his team, but I'll check mark his name under 'annoyance.'
