Survivors Need to Chill.

That's fine, it's understandable. Everyone gets frustrated, and sometimes you just need to vent and get it all out before you can move on.

People make a term for just about anything that prevents them from getting max bp's per trial. You hear terms like genrush, tunnel, and proxycamp and they are rarely used correctly and just a justification for the player to curse the other player(s) out for doing their job. Is it really bad when you hook someone and see scratch marks that are fresh so you patrol the area to prevent a quick unhook? Is it bad to do generators at a quicker rate to maximize your own survival chances? Is chasing someone who you've hooked bad when doing so would apply some pressure on the team now that they let their teammate go unhealed and didn't try and draw aggro? People seem to get mad at this game for everything. When I was a new killer I didn't understand these terms or what the reason was for the hatemail to a fresh player in rank 20. People (at least on playstation) like to attribute anything against them to luck, especially when it was something preventable. My first killer game I hit someone over a pallet and got called a lucky for it when he vaulted too late. Another time recently I got called lucky and a trash (expletive) killer because I hit someone who failed to hit r1 until I was almost directly behind him. People just don't want to accept any mistakes they make and try and make the other player feel bad for playing the game.

It's perfectly fine. :) This game or any online game can bring the worst out of people. Just try to have fun and play what makes you happy. And if you feel tired of the constant annoyance, take a break. Play something else, have a snack, come to the forums and look around, take a nap. Whatever!

What do you mean when you say: I'm going to throw every tactic I've got into the game?

Give specific examples please.

...hide the endgame chat. There's an icon next to the chat that you can click to hide it. It's really that simple. Or just don't look at the chat if those mean words are getting to you.

Honestly, as 2k hours survivor main, I absolutely and completely agree with this post and also empathize with your anger about it. While it's obviously not true of everyone, since I usually play solo queue I have to say that a relevant amount of the survivors I get matched with turn out to be... well, as you put it, people who just need to chill.

People who want to impose (inexistent) rules on others, who complain whenever they lose – accusing the killer for a variety of their own mistakes, who DC if they get caught first, who blame the killer for not playing "nice" after someone DCs (it's cool if they do, but they don't have to and you shouldn't be entitlted and expect them to), who call a killer toxic for camping during the match (not realizing it usually works out in the survivors favor), who call a killer toxic for camping someone after the gens have been done, etc.

However, I do fear that this is unavoidable. I think most of them are just immature people who would act up anyway, instead of learning to just take the L and move on to the next match.

Do what you must and what you want to do to try kill us, I welcome the challenge. I wish other survivors did as well.

I also agree with some of the sentiments being put out in this thread. Don't engage with these people. They are not worth your time. Just say something to the effect of "gg" in the post-game chat and move on.

Sometimes it helps to put yourself in others shoe, you said you were a killer main, reckon what it would be like of the same thing happen to you if you're a survivor? Not to fault you or anything, i agree that most survivors felt entitled to get their way every time, hard to explain this, certain stuff you try to avoid doing as a killer which can only be understood if you play survivor and always remember it's not always about winning, sometimes it's okay to get a 3k instead of 4

I wasn't trying to offend in any way. It's immature because expecting your opponent to play in a way that you are more comfortable with and complaining if he doesn't and you die is simply not knowing how to be OK with losing a match. And that's immaturity in a nutshell. Learn how to lose without getting salty.

Camping and tunneling are very legitimate and even necessary strategies under a series of circumstances, and not only done as a way to ruin someone else's fun. Learn to regonize those situations and deal with them, you'll be a better survivor and player for it, and much more valuable to your team overall than ignorantly complaining in the post-game chat.

Probably not the response you wanna hear but just ignore them, as someone who gets easily frustrated with bullshit its easy to curse out a survivor especially on console since its just 1 person, but im not going to curse out survivors because they have each other, just understand that if you play those killers you will get cursed out (personally i like legion but cant stand fighting against them,) in the end unless they face camped me or tunneled me i will grit my teeth and say GG no matter what, yes survivors are toxic, but thats probably because the killer has a lot of different tactics whereas survivors are limited to perks they HAVE TO buy and not powers within a lvl 1 killer but idk i play both

I mean you main killer and only killer and it's your word against everyone else's. I find it hard to believe that you aren't toxic at all, as a killer main, like not even a little bit...

The same is true of Fortnite, Overwatch, and League. But they don't breed toxic communities, it's just that their communities are so large. Some people are toxic, so more people equals more toxicity. It's possible that DBD, like any game with separate, opposing roles, breeds hostility within the community for that reason, but I'd still take with a grain of salt anything that's "widely known" among gamers. Most people aren't critical thinkers and just parrot anything they hear because it's what everyone else thinks. In that way, it's very easy for something to get a reputation that is hugely exaggerated or simply untrue.

Spoken like someone who has never played OW or league. The toxicity in those games make the toxicity in this game look like a drop in the bucket. If you're really getting more crap talked to you than those games generally engender you might actually be playing a bit unsporting.

Even if they do play like a "scum bag" they should ignore them.

No one can dictate to you how you play the game as long as you're not in violation of TOS you can do what you gotta do to have fun/win/get the e-peen boost/whatever it is you play this game for. Not like survivors aren't going to do what ever it takes to win.
