Survivor bullying...how to deal with?

[Protokon]

I don't understand this phenomenon. Why is it 3 out of 4 games, I run into this behavior? Those of you who play killers...you know exactly what I mean. I'm to the point where if in the first 30 seconds a survivor purposely finds me and motions me to chase them and/or taunts, I just want to quit the game and start a new lobby. It's disheartening when I feel like, as the killer, the atmosphere is I should be instilling fear/terror when I approach, not invoke a game of ring around the rosie.

Even in games where I'm clearly better than all 4 survivors, they still try to gang up and take advantage that you can only perform actions to pickup/hook one person at a time, hit one person then have a cooldown, etc.. It's really obnoxious...

I know I'm still rather knew at killing (probably played 100 hours as killer so far), does anyone have any tips to discourage this? I feel rather silly when the survivors are supposed to be running from me, not the other way around...(turn around while carrying someone to hook and can see literally 2-3 following me).

Because dbd is a childish game with little attetion deficit disorder kids who, instead doing cool stuff, meet up on the internet with their voicechats so they can bully the killer and feel good for those few hours.

Try to avoid SWF groups. They usually pop in together. Another idea is to not hang them. Put them all in a dying state and then start hanging. Be sure to bring Deerstalker.

I like the deerstalker idea. I tend to run devour hunger right now, because after I get 3 hooks I can slug them in one blow, injured or not. but for some reason they tend to knock out my totem pretty early on.

Lol u call that bullying? Just smack me with your weapon.

You have the most impact in bettering this game and keeping your mental health by just lobby dodging SWF groups, switching off chat and thinking wether you should stay in the lower ranks on purpose or not.

SWF is super OP. as Samination was saying just dodge them and if you want you can always master nurse :P and go on a slug fest. But ya just dodge them, or play MM, Billy, or Nurse good vs groups like that.

Unfortunately it's not an effective strategy when well-coordinated groups all have self-healing, loop, and literally just switch out who's trying to loop/distract the killer then go self-heal or get healed by their teammate.

Stuff like that forces me to play in ways that I don't like (like tunneling and actively ignoring people who are blatantly trying to get my attention). Survivors should be trying to avoid me, not the other way around...

If they play differently so should the killer. Stop doing the usual routine because that's what they expect. Get creative.

Yeah that's a problem. Happens to me frequently when I play killer.

You are correct, I should not expect to play one way every game. Nobody wants that, it would get monotonous.

My problem with playing that specific way is, if my goal is to down survivors and hook/kill them, what kind of strategy is actively ignoring survivors trying to get my attention?

I appreciate the comments guys.

[Space Cutatz]

Nurse is just strong but besides that killers with 1 shot downs is the way to go.

I've at least got to the point where if they trash talk in chat, I know I've done a good job :)
