As a killer do you punish toxicness or ignore it?

Ignore it

Ignore it. Most of the toxicity talked about is just people that tbag and want chased following you around. I'd rather let them be that way as the tbaggers get cocky and the followers aren't on gens.

Toxicity is the only thing that bothers me in the game as it just kills the fun atmosphere and all

And I'm not just talking about toxicity directed towards me. If people intend to hook farm, sandbag, or just be pricks to their team (Allowance will be given if they are Evil Dwight)

Those guys are dead as heck. I gave up one game just to chase down a laggy P3 Claudette who unhooked a dwight right in my face, camp, and bm the heck out of her on the hook

it Can be hard to ignore sometimes. I’m usually in favor of punishing

I punish it.

Why? Because I'm playing a slasher genre "killing machine," and if you taunt the killer you get punished.

But it can lose the match?

I don't care. I play games with clear win conditions to win, like Overwatch or a MOBA or what have you. In Dead by Daylight, I just play for my slasher horror fandom and sometimes to play one of my favorite 80s horror icons. Nothing more.

Firstly I don't really consider in-game actions that aren't straight up cheating or sandbagging to be "toxic", but I understand what people usually mean by it (tbagging, sandbagging, all of that) and will answer based on that.

If they're doing it while I'm chasing them I don't really care. At worst it changes nothing, at best it makes them actually gain less distance if they're too obsessed with whatever they're doing or pointlessly blind me at pallets without even having Iron Will. If I'm not chasing them and they're trying to make me go for them instead I just ignore it. If they're smart they'll give up and go do something useful, and if they want to follow me around all game that works for me, less work being done that way. This is why a team with 4 flashlights all trying to use them is the best gen stalling "perk" in the game 😄

I guess I punish people farming their fellow survivors, as I usually go for the unhooker anyway. And serious sandbagging like pointing at occupied lockers or blocking others will earn them a prompt smack because I'm taking part in that #########. I also punish hard/"face"campers as I actually go to do gens for free once I realize that's what's up.

Sometimes I punish it pretty hard. All depends on how the game is going and other factors. I won't lose a game I was winning just to try and out toxic someone tho.

I mean if they are hurting themselfs to be toxic I'll use it against them but otherwise I just ignore it, all that sort of stuff is childish.

I ignore it. IE i wont burst a blood vessel trying to kill someone however i will BM right back. Mori spam, head nod etc. Trying to punish it via camping or tunneling though is a good way to lose the game. Best to just play normal. Higher chance of coming out on top.

Ignore it because it doesn't matter to me. No reason to get all mad at a survivor for pressing crouch all the time.

The only thing I punish is the team mates that do nothing as a solo I see it alot I hate it the most. I ignore the people that are so desprate for attention because they make dumb mistakes when you do lmao 🐖

Still rocking the Legion mad respect dude most peeps went over to ghost face 😑 I miss vrs legions so much 💕🐖

The only time I actively try and punish toxicity is when they sandbag their fellow survivors on purpose.

I usually ignore it. It reallllyyyyyy depends on how hard they're trying to be toxic though.

I personally think that Legion>GhostFace...

*raises shield*

Aw good on you on console Legion is dead its very sad but then again its just spirit on the daily over here I just miss Legion so much such a cool design tbh could easily be tweaked just gotta reward the multi hits and boom he's got power unlike now... Sorry he she what ever... 🐖

Deep Wound is just a garbage status effect.

If it was actually somewhat threatening, it would be a fair Legion Buff/BT Nerf.
