Insta downs do not make you "good", killers.

Or they… you know… wanna have fun in a videogame? Don't get me wrong, he/she is definetely a douche for talking like that in post game chat (though I don't see where he claimed to be a good killer). But saying Killers with instadown addons use them solely to be toxic or purposefully derank is Kind of ignorant.

Yup...ya caught us...

As a matter of fact, every account on this thread has secretly been alt accounts...including the OP. I made them all and posted on many threads with each, just to screw with you.

DEAD HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARD! *shakes fist at the heavens*

The most unbalanced perk in the whole game that I totally did not learn how to counter after watching a few streams, right after Decisive Strike!

keep reading the thread, it gets better

How to counter red pinky finger, DODGE IT

Also almost all add-ons like that punish you too

I dont think anyone will continue posting. Did you read it all?

If by arguing over nothing, you mean you backpedaling by resorting to typos cause you can no longer back up your points then yes.

So your saying that calling someone an alt account isn't a backpedal?

I feel like playing an irridescent head Huntress match because of this thread. You made this happen.

Lol this thread is magic. Op you're my favorite arrogant player.

At loops?

That is pretty interesting!

So rank wise, instadowns actually make you WORSE?

So really, insta-downs need a buff!!!

Not really lol

PS4, so maybe it’s different lol

keep in mind, if he only plays killer for dailies... Hes going against rank 15s.

Ermagerd super op.

As a matter of fact, your an alt too.

Very true

Interrupting survivors or grabbing them is actually rewarded with greater point gains which make those game play mechanics worthwhile in comparison to using instant downs. I was not generalizing it, I am simply informing the fact that Instant Down add-on's and perks aren't beneficial to rank and BP progress and instead end up hurting it. I may have been a bit rough by stating that using them is "an admittance of your idiocy." so I'll apologize for that remark.

These Add-on's and Perks have their place in the game just fine, and using them in no way ensures victory, but whether you win or lose using them, you suffer point loss. The point system itself seems to either be broken when scoring your performance while using them, or it intentionally rewards less by design to discourage killer players from using them. Because of this however, the mentality towards players who use them and the mindset of those players themselves have changed since the days of the "Killer victory cube". Since they hinder point/rank gain, they don't seem worth it in a practical sense. Knowing this however creates only a few reasons for a player to use them currently:

The player is just tired of putting up with survivors shenanigans and wants to try and get back at them/blow off some steam with some overkill,

The player is Toxic by nature,

The survivors at their current rank are too difficult to deal with if they don't have that edge; points be damned,

Or they are using them to drop back down to the less frustrating ranks and enjoy themselves while doing it.

With almost 1000 hours spent maining killer, I understand the latter 2 reasons perfectly, and have even used Iridescent Head hatchets and Ebony Mori's to purposely drop down from the red ranks, so I can have more fun and less frustration in this game. Does that make me Toxic? In my mind... No... but good luck convincing the survivors of that.

The player in the OP's post on the other hand was undoubtedly one who used the Redhead's Pinky Finger add-on for one of the first 2 reasons (Considering how they raged at the OP in the endgame chat). To me, what really shows skill is not in the perks, add-on's, or even the killers you use, its in the rank you achieve. Say what you will about the current emblem system and how it decides our ranking, the fact remains that high rank players are more skillful than low ranked ones. So a killer player losing their cool after a defeat while packing an instant down tool is not only less skillful but also a poor sport. Just because someone has these tools at their disposal doesn't instantly make them better players, and instead it only results in lowering their rank and BP gain, which is why when most players use them, they are more generally perceived as being Toxic. But considering that they use them anyway knowing it won't help them gain rank and progress, Can we really say they aren't?

It makes me wonder how much this game would change if killers were rewarded double the Chase and Hunting points for instant downs to compensate for what they currently lose using them. Would that create a more Toxic environment? Or would it balance the scales a bit since using those tools would be beneficial to their ranking? I honestly don't know, but at the moment I'm inclined to hope for the latter.

I finally read through this whole thread and it made me think...

Am I an alt account too? How would I know if I was?

I mean....I THOUGHT I exist, but how can I really know for sure?

and then another thought: if I am an alt account for LordGlint, what if LORDGLINT is an alt account for SOMEONE ELSE!?!?

What if we are ALL alt accounts!?!?

Spirit Players in my experience are generally the worst. I generally expect NOED, Ruin, Haunted Grounds(not complaining about these perks btw, just my observations), and for them to walk around there near the hook and get their haunting ready to rush back to it the moment someone's saved. Not in Red Ranks yet on my survivor(purple as of posting), but I've never faced a Spirit who wasn't like that, unless they were farming BPs, except maybe one time. Quick and Quiet and Iron Will are my saviors generally for players like that, as at least I can get a pip by losing them a couple of times when my teammates are going down like flies.

Me too, I'm account 112, with Xboned being account 115.
