If you find someone toxic, it would clever to ignore him, because after my experience those guys are very often the same that are also very good in wasting your time.

Of course, sometimes everybody snaps and then that particular one has to die. No matter what it takes.

I can't give you many tips besides, getting better in mind games for that, but also flashlights are very easy to counter, if you are not stuck in a animation, like by destroying a pallet.

For this look to your left or right, so that the survivor that stays with his flashlight for you wanders on your screen to the right or left side of your screen (depending on which side you are looking). That helps most times to come still to them and hit them with a m1, or what ever.*

If you encounter bodyblocks, take madgrit. A Legion perk. For me are bodyblocking survivors the most annoying type of survivor, but man I love the moment when the penny drops in their head, that I am running madgrit and they going usually then in panik mode :D .

I main the Legion, but I also play a handful of other killers.

Unlike survivors that like to run around always with the same perks - I have on every killer different perks. Besides madgrit, because I really hate body blockers^^.

Edit: You have already to do this, when you see how he turns with his flashlights towards you. If a survivor with a flashlights turns towards you, it is in the most cases because he want to use his flashlight. So prepear yourself before he uses his flashlight.

You will still see the flashlight, but not in the same strength as he would direct aim at your face.

My solution if I can't find a single team member who isn't being toxic, I just go to the basement, stare at the wall, and alt tab out. If you take all of their enjoyment away, there's no reward for their behavior. If I'm not going to have fun in the game anyway, I may as well not reward their behavior either.

I couldn’t agree more. I never teabag and until recently I never use flashlights which is why I have a zillion of them! But with the rift challenges I’ve had to use them on killers lately and I’ve been called toxic for that.

DC, report and open a thread on the forums.

I wouldn't listen to what other people are saying in this thread about about nodding your head or hitting them on the hook, playing a "one-upmanship" style game and feeding into your anger is exactly what they want you to do.

I just want to clarify what is "toxic behaviour" before I go on, because as I see it, it falls into two distinct categories:

The first is in-trial things such as teabagging, flashlight clicking etc. The second is abusive post-game chat. These are both distinctly different behaviours and should be addressed differently.

For in trial "Toxicity", you have to bare in mind that whilst it may feel condescending to have your opponent teabagging you etc, this attention-seeking behaviour is a valid tactic which can win games by frustrating you and making you focus on just that survivor, buying the rest of the team valuable time to fix gens, especially if that player is good at looping. Your only real option is to outplay not that particular player, but the entire team. Often you can use the "toxic" player to your advantage by pretending to chase/pretend to ignore them in order to catch other players off-guard. I say "toxic" with inverted commas in this instance because it is sometimes the case that these in-trial behaviours are devoid of malicious intent, and are purely the preferred playstyle of the individual.

For post-game chat toxicity, which is worse by the fact that it is simply pure harassment without any tactical merit, I would advise against getting involved in the conversation at all - toxic people are not there to listen to your defense or engage with you in any meaningful way unless to aggravate you and do you harm. It is best to simply leave the post-game and move on.

If it helps any, I find it is important to remember what kind of lives toxic individuals usually have which causes them to act this way, they are most often not very happy people. When considering this, denying them of any post-game interaction is more than enough revenge.

To tie it all up, the best advice I can give you is to widen your perspective and learn to stay calm throughout matches and the ensuing post-game. It isn't easy, and requires a great deal of patience and experience, but the bottom line is that the only way to win against these kinds of people is to have the resilience to not let them affect you.

I play normally, because unless it's something that breaks the rules like exploit spots I can't hit them it doesn't actually change anything. I mean if they want to tbag or whatever so much that they actually make less distance with pallets and vaults I'll appreciate the assistance I guess 😄

But then again I can't think of anything people can do in a match that I'd consider "toxic" in the first place. To me that's more or less exclusively reserved for people that can't just move on and feel the need to act like cringelords in postgame chat.

Staying cool, is really the best option. Survivors following, clicking, being toxic and just trying to brag are not working on gens, not being progressive. Best thing to do is just continue a chase, let themselves slow down the game. Catch them out of position afterwards.

Don't chase them where they want to be chased.
