Receiving Death Threats from survivors after match

[LunarLegacy]

After matches, I've been receiving a lot of death threats and people claiming they'll report me because I wasn't playing by their survivor rules and was also able to find them even if they happened to use Iron Will because they can't hide well.

I've been accused of cheating because I found a survivor and their entire team said they reported me. I've also been receiving a lot of "kill yourself ♥♥♥♥♥♥" texts and threats on how they've wanted to kill me irl.

As someone with depression and severe anxiety already, this type of toxic behavior brings me down instantly. It makes me not want to play my all time favorite game. I just want a simple game of mastermind vs challengers, like it should be. Instead.... I just get such anger and rage when I do a good job, and when I don't I get ridiculed and told "you should quit because you ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ suck".

what if dbd had voice chat how would you cope

My survivors: "Heal me and we'll do a ge-"

Just sounds like a woe is me discussion. I guarantee you arent getting these messages as often as youre saying.
Also welcome to PvP games, people will tell you your are bad, get over it. You wouldnt survive in the 2009 lobbies of halo/cod.

To be fair though, I don't think anybody could handle those squeakers though unless you were one yourself.
Plus there is a option to mute them anyway, or I assume there is, I never touched halo. Left 4 Dead on console was good fun though, toxic wise.

Anyway, OP, sorry to hear. Hopefully now that you've disabled chat you can enjoy the game a lot more. Even though I still think the gameplay side of the game is really flawed, DbD can still be really exciting and fun at its peak, and when the stars align and you get a really good match, it definitely makes the game a lot more enjoyable.

However...unfortunately there simply aren't any real substitutes or competitors, so DbD is all we really have, and it also has the most support with all the 3rd party franchises making an appearance in the game. This also unfortunately means putting up with the incredibly toxic community in this game. This is without a doubt the worst, and I do mean the worst, in-game community I have ever come across. Even my friends who play games like Dota or League of Legends (which are infamous for having bad communities) say it's not nearly as bad as this game. If you haven't already...you should probably make your profile comments friends only too, because people definitely will go to your profile and leave the same kind of remarks on your profile too. Speaking from experience.

Nah, the things people said in 2009 cod/halo lobbies were so over the top stupid that it was impossible not to laugh. These days you just get told to kill yourself. It's not even funny or good banter.

Just like JACKPOT said bro im not being a jerk but yes try and be a lil harder about what people say to you. Dont let it get to you instead use it as fuel to the fire that is your killer role. And if you find it hard to do that buddy then just disable the chat entirely. And yes you should also screenshot these threats and send em to the devs because that type of behavior is unacceptable and they will get banned for saying such things. But just dont let it bring you down man. Anyone that chats with you in this game just remember they are absolutely nothing to you and you dont need there approval for anything. All you need is your friends family and if you dont have that then all you need is yourself man.

Thats what makes it funny, these kids are absolutely horrible at trying to be intimidating.

Legit advice in general, especially those last couple of sentences. Preach.

Thank you for your suggestions and kind words guys. Honestly the whole quarantine thing has made dealing with all this stuff that much worse, plus I've never received legit death threats in this game before. :/

I'm honestly surprised it took you that long to run into that. But yeah, the quarantine is tough on everyone. Stay safe.

Just today I was playing trapper and once again the idiots 3 genned themselves.

(This happens a lot when I play trapper)
I had some add ons that severely increased my set up speed so it didn’t take me long to take all the strong loops down.

Survivors pretty much gave me not only a trapper daily but a trapper archive challenge too.

And of course any time things go wrong for survivors it’s blame the killer they blame me for basement tunneling and 3 genning.

1 next time don’t disarm my traps and I won’t know someone is going for a basement save seriously I had like 1 trap on the stairs and it was avoidable.

2nd I have no control over how the gens get done it was on you to pay attention to the positioning of the gens. 3 genning yourselves is a noob mistake and it’s brutal when trapper is the killer.

[Ackranome]

Huh. I only get them wishing my mom had cancer.

Yeah if you play survivor bad, because either you arent at the level *since ranking means nothing sometimes*, you can just leave as soon as you die and take no comments.

But as a killer *which is also what i mostly play/like to play* you will get a lot of nice comments as long as you dont play your role 100% xD. Which many times i like to do, just fool around, 2 hook everyone but not finish the job.

Oh but the time you want to kill or do something for a challenge/daily ritual, if I won easily I just type GG, and exit immediatly to not wait for their comments... Just saying... So yeah when you get beaten easily they laugh, or flex their abilities, but they lose and they let out all their inner rage

Survivors in this game falsly think that they are the masters.When really the entity is the one who is in control of all the rules.So the conclusion is:don't play by the survivors's rulebook and just enjoy your gameplay and don't give a ♥♥♥♥ about what they type in thr chat.The best solution is to make them as angry as possible so if they start typing anything mean towards you just say once or spam "gg ez" if you won that is.Otherwise just move on to a different server without looking too much into the post game chat.

If you play killer, you are going to suffer, and you are going to suffer a lot.

Now, I'm not saying playing killer is particularly hard. If it's not a 4 man SWF and you have meta perks on a decent killer, you'll likely do well. (Although coordinated 4 man SWFs, while beatable as the right killer/perks, are a PITA both in game, and often in the chat)

But the mental stress if you listen to people is often going to be very hard because they will tell you a lot of things, almost none of it I can repeat.

I play on and off as a killer. Sometimes I play survivor if the queue is short enough, but usually killer queues are much faster so I play that. I try not to play dirty, and I get told the worst things.

I've taken vacations as killer in part because I run into so many survivors telling killers off, so I figure:
"Okay, you guys win. I have to wait awhile as a survivor already, enjoy waiting longer."

And I've told many salty survivors that.

Go ahead, tell me things I can't repeat, tell me to uninstall.
I didn't camp them out, I didn't bring a mori (I don't like them in particular), I didn't tunnel one guy to death who didn't deserve it. I'll take the survivors advice and stop playing killer, I'm sure you guys hate killers who try to be fair to survivors, and I'm sure you don't mind dealing with the queues already.

Am I frustrated? Maybe. I'm not angry at the game. The game is broken and imbalanced and I've come to accept that.

I'm angry at the people who take it so seriously that they have to hate the opposing side they never play as without fully understanding "Why am I waiting 10 minutes as a survivor? Killer is EZ cause I can kill gray rank survivors as killer no problem!"

For me it wasn't that much of the community problem. I'd advice you to quit DbD in general. Also i'm almost sure you will quit quiet soon after you will get disappointed match after match of bugs, poor game mechanics and unfairness. Idk if you are playing red ranks as killer but once you will i bet you will loose interest pretty quick, because the survivors who play long enough and know how to loop are generally unbeatable, just because game mechanics. Survivor skillcap is pretty high but survivor gameplay is all the same so thousands of ppl are very good at playing survivor and devs don't take those players into account. It's kinda hard to get reed of addiction but once you stop playing you will less and less want to return to this mess, called DbD
