If you 2k as killer, the survs will call you terrible, and a baby killer. If you don't play your absolute best? Baby killer.

It's the same for being a surv. You die? Bmed. Sometimes. What I've realized however, is when I'm playing surv killers bm me a lot less. It's a gg then they're gone. I should just turn off chat, it's ridiculous. I've had to make my profile private simply BECAUSE of this game.

    Yes, this happens, just take it the other way, make every rage message a trophy, I have hundreds.

    Survivors get really mad when even 1 got killed, just don't let them get into you, you did them, not backwards.

    someone told me to kill myself just because I didn't let him get the hatch. a killer bmed me everytime he downed me just because I was using dead hard. it's nothing new, the game will always be like that.

    I think the reason this game has a few more bad apples than your average multiplayer game is because of it being asymmetrical. People want to believe they would have won if you didn't take advantage of something cheap. Playing killer used to be misery (yet strangely addictive) and survivor could be a similar experience against certain killers or addons, or when killers could actually face camp, but it's pretty well balanced now for the most part.

    I haven't played for a bit because I got sucked back into Rocket League and the amount of trash talk on there is minimal in comparison. You get people that will goof on you with a Nice Shot or What a Save when you screw up but most of them will still gg you back after the game.

    I’m not sweating for the 4k every game “LMAO YOU’RE TRASH GET REKT” TOO EZ

    Loop/run killer Get tunneled by Killer or instantly Mori off hook with 5-4 gens still up. Oh I’m the last survivor and you never bother chasing me.

    “LOL GET GOOD TOO EZ GET REKTED”

    Honestly people need to chill. And stop taking this game seriously.

    Like I had a scratch mirror myers the other day and 2 people DC early game. I ran him for 3 gens while the other dude did 3 gens by himself he finally left me and went at the other guy and smacked him while he was on the gen (he was injured) so he ended up DCing too and unfortunately for me hatch spawn right next to myers. EGC happens and here he coming towards the door I ran him around for half of the endgame collapse timer he knocked me finally and proceed to slugged me on the ground even though I’m the only survivor left instead of just unhooking me. So I DC because not going wait until EGC killed me. I’m just moved on. Like just hook me my guy and get this over with. After that he spam messages me “GIT GOOD” “EZ CLAP” “GET REKT” even though I was the better player... If he committed chasing instead of going after the other survivor who was working on gens by himself my guy would’ve potentially lost a 2 man game.

    It's just a reflection of how people are when they take down the social masks.

    Many of them are just weak and insecure - and use tearing down others as a way to justify their meager existance. For others, it's a matter of they lack any self-awareness or reflection and are unable to let go of their own bias.

    I feel a lot of it is deflection from their own flaws in order to protect the Ego - which is a mistake as far as I'm concerned.

    I'm willing to admit I'm far from perfect, often falling prey to snark and sarcasm when I feel people are being less than intelligent.

    For me, the path to salvation is a 3 step process of guiding me away from that behavior

    Step One - If you feel unable to control yourself or just not in the right mindset to be non-toxic, turn off the game. In fact, loading it up at all when you know you're not in the right mindset would be a mistake.

    Second Step was repeating to myself that I have no control over what others do in a game. Instead of getting upset about how people play, I should work toward just beating them. If I can't, I don't deserve the win. And if I'm not willing to resort to any tactic allowed by the game to do so, I have no right to complain that I can't keep up. This step I've more or less mastered.

    Third Step (and Alas, this one I fail at often, it's a work in progress) is trying very hard to live by the creed "I have a right to complain about how others play when I myself am perfect - ergo until I play perfectly, I should not complain how others play". I force myself (even when pissed off) to ask myself "What could I have done differently?" this means no matter how badly my team or situation was, I do my best to not use it as an excuse. I reflect on the game and look for something I could of done differently - some flaw in my execution. And 100% of the time, I always remember something I should of done differently. Reflecting that I made a mistake in that game, I no longer have a right to complain about how another players played

    I feel that instead of feeding the toxicity, people just focused first on cleaning up their own act - we'd all be better for it. I'm doing my damndest over here myself - I can only hope others will do the same.

    I didn't time it, does it really matter?

    I felt it needed to be said, I said it. You can either go along with it, or not.
