Surviviors bring 4 petrified oaks and toolboxs with saboteur add ons

[Jahavan]

I was just playing nurse when I saw 4 petrified oaks in the offering screen. Now I am pretty new with the nurse and only at around rank 17 Killer rank. I was able to get a hook or two but after this there were very few hooks left on the map as the surviviors were activily taking them down. After downing a few more they were able to escape my grasp. Eventually I was sick and tired of this and there were only maybe 2 extra hooks on the map. so when I downed a survior near one of the few remaining ones left I camped it hard. They made repeated attempts to get her down but I was able to zone them out by this time there was maybe 1 genterater left. I got another survior down and barely got her to the basement. I camped her as well and despite her teamates attempts I was able to sacrifice her. The Match ended I recieved quite a bit of salt in the lobbby after the game. Was my playstlye justified? Again I am pretty new but I feel like this is one of the only ways to counter this at my level. What else could I have done?!!

Sounds like more of a problem with SWF than anything, and at that point, anything goes; don't even let them bother you. They're just angry because their unfair strategy failed and they didn't save everyone- SWF teams themselves KNOW that SWF is OP. Also, I feel like devs should implement something to limit the number of hook offerings you can burn because, well, the killers' main objective is straight up centered around the hooks.

Good on you for not rage quitting though, that takes strong willpower.

You were facing a SWF group, camp them any time without ever feeling bad.
But yes, in this case you were justified to camp a down survivor as you didn't really have any other choice.

oaks plus saboteur = disregard any feelings you may have about playstyle, go ham. They either played to win or played to make you feel miserable, they don't care about you, I guess you can pity them if you want but don't feel bad.

Long past the point where a 'hurt me plenty' queue was needed for killers who want to play against SWF teams, leaving the rest to have real games of DbD.

Honestly would have done the same. If you go into a game with any toxic behavior in mind or any behavior you know is super fun for you but a drag for the killer: you can't be mad when you get BMed, camped, tunneled, or slugged. In fact you should prepare for it if you get caught. Honestly apalling to me when I see survivors act toxic as heck in game then when the killer clamps down and plays hard they give him or her salt in the after chat. That's like walking up to someone and insulting them or throwing a hit at them and expecting no reaction.

Not sure why you feel the need to justify your gameplay in a forum. You were playing the best killer in the game, one that excels at slugging to say the very least.

Do whatever you gotta do to win, but pulling this:

Makes it seem like you were held at gunpoint and had to break a dog's neck in order to survive from a mass serial killer.

You could've taken the loss since it wasn't a tournament match, improved at blinking and playing nurse, but you chose to stand still and wait for the game to end without actually learning any new skills when the best time to improve are when the odds stack against your favour.

Survivors could've also not done everything in their power to abuse the mechanics of the game to make the killer as miserable as possible. Why is it ok that they can drag killers through the mud for the ♥♥♥♥ of it but killers are somehow held to a higher standard and should just "take the loss"

Almost without exception these type of players are the type that can give it but not take it. They're sociopathic. It's one rule for them and one for everyone else.

Unfortunate that DbD encourages and perpetuates this kind of behaviour, but that ship has sailed I guess.

I tend to be a pretty friendly killer but if surviours are overly toxic I give what they give me. I believe in karma and like to make them pay for their behaviour. You did nothing wrong in ensuring your kill. Ignore the salt. Likelyhood is if you had not killed them , they would of been toxic with ez etc instead. A no win situation.

@Flou. They said they were rank 17 so your arguments about Nurse's strength are irrelevent.

At any rate, killer choice and playing to reduce the fun of others are not equivalent. Most people don't have extreme reactions to what killer they are facing, especially not at rank 17 where the difference between killers is absolutely marginal. Nobody is picking Nurse because of winrate at this level.

You have invested over 200 hours and you have yet to grasp anything rank 12 or better on both sides. Your arguments are irrelevant on the basis that you cannot learn the game.

Don't use ad hominems, you look pathetic. I understand the game perfectly well enough - argue my points.

edit: also of course you have a private profile, see my other post about 'these type of players can dish it but not take it'. You're living in fantasy land, and proving the point exactly!

wow you would have hated it back when everyone ran sabotage and hooks didn't regenerate.

As killer you often only had basement hooks so running iron grasp was essential to winning basically

yea or slugging which got you loads of salt

[Undying Zombie]

That brings me back to the days when hooks would not repair.. That really sucked.. More so if you did not have iron grasp / Agitation.. Like I did for a long time there..

Lol they commented on my profile

Also thanks for the imput everyone. Im still pretty new to the game. I actually got it on ps4 for free but decided that I liked it enough to get it on something with better frames. I watched a few videos talking about being a toxic killer and just wanted to make sure I wasnt completely being a ♥♥♥♥

Comment and block + private profile squads are the best :)

Basically they're not living in the real world where people interact with them. It's all a one-way street. Don't waste your time worrying about them.

Ultimately, all that matters is winning. Both sides will be salty about one thing or another, especially survivors, but everyone should do whatever they can do (aside from being a cheating ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥) to win the game.
