Does anyone else feel bad playing killer?

[Slippery Williams]

Whenever I get into the game again I play a few games as killer then feel really bad for killing off everyone most of my games and ruining their fun, then I go back to playing survivor wanting to be a great teammate for 90% of my time on the game. Sometimes I pretend they are bots so I don’t feel as bad as I enjoy doing well as killer but feel like a jerk. Anyone else like this?

For the record I play Freddy and Pinhead so I get into the role of being a torturous maniacal villain then feel bad about it when I’ve had my fun

I used to.
It went away after my thousandth match against survivors who used my kindness against me, then t-bagged me on the way out the gate (or waited out the entire ECG timer waiting for the chance to t-bag me), and topped it off with a "GGEZ" or "Trash killer; uninstall."
The truth is that the survivors who deserve to go against nice killers are those who are mature enough that they don't view the killer's actions as a personal attack, and so they aren't ever going to think you're terrible for just playing the role of killer well.

Sometimes vs weak players
Never vs wannabe tournament swfs

I only feel bad if they are clearly really new and have no idea how to play, or if a team mate immediately DCs or throws the game. I had a game like that last night where the Ada wanted to die immediately as soon as I loaded in - I had barely moved and she stood in front of me waiting to get hooked over and over - she never ran away once. Between the Ada hooks, I kept stumbling into the others and the chases were short (I was playing Freddy and am not great at the game - they were either fairly new or were just unlucky). At 4 gens, the Ada was dead, one was on death hook, and the other two had been hooked once. I caught one and let them wriggle out in front of a gen. Farmed a bit and let them all escape.

However, if everyone is playing well and doing their best, then I don't feel bad at all (especially if they are doing a great job with long chases and saving one another repeatedly) They played well, I tried my best and whether it's a 4k or not, I don't feel bad at all.

Never feel sympathy for those fleshly beat bags. Their only use it to empower the entity.

I just absolutely love villains who are having a ton of fun doing what they do, I play because I love being a cackling villain hence why I play Freddy and Pinhead and am thinking of getting Chucky and Wesker. I think I’d be fine playing survivor only if people played killers like Freddy and Pinhead more cause I love the atmosphere with them and I generally have to take up the killer mantle if I wanna experience that.

I’ve loved every match against Chucky because he’s so fun, talkative and I only play as Ash so it’s so in character for those two to end up crossing paths at some point, to the point Chucky even recognises Ash and Nic Cage in the lobby and comments on it. Had a hilarious match last night where me as Ash Williams in his summer shirt saw Chucky running at him in the RPD, ran off, jumped 3 stories down the stairwell, jumped into a locker then clobbered him with the door when he ran past all while Chucky was laughing and ranting the whole time

I think it’s because me having fun playing as a cackling horror movie villain means I have to ruin 4 other people’s fun. Might stick to bots in this case

Nope, because if you play more than 2 games, you eventually find a team that thinks you're a joke, and plays you as such. I'll get a 3K and then have a game where I can't even get a third hook.

No mercy, unless they have a suicide on first hook or something.

I used too when I got what felt to me like easy wins. In reality, you really shouldn't feel bad. MMR will catch up with you sooner or later and you will see that survs are just having a chill afternoon gaming session whilst sipping some tea and you are the one sweating and trying to keep things under control.

Also survs are used to dying, sacrificing themselves for others, etc. They are not expected to get out of a trial unscathed. Even if I get sandbagged by team I am like whatevs and queue up for the next match.

[Kattegat Twin]

Why would I feel bad for winning? I don't at all. I also don't care if I lose. Losing will usually teach you something.

The only time I'll feel bad is if I see someone ratting out another player to try and save themselves. Do that, and I'm definitely sticking you on the hook first.

I got ratted out by another survivor recently. After unhooking them and healing them, the killer came near so I hopped in a locker. The idiot showed the killer where I was, and my altruistic play was rewarded with treachery.

[eh why not]

No. If I load into a lobby and the game seems to have given me new survivors due to the matchmaking being stupid at times.. I will sometimes 2-hook everyone then just keep downing them after, but I don't feel bad about anything as either role. It's a game.. pixels on a screen. Nothing we do in this game or have done to us in this game is worth getting upset / sad etc over.

I feel like an azz. Especially when I'm playing against people who don't stand a chance. Which is the case most of the time, because playing killers is so easy mode, unless you're playing against a decent three man swf.

When I realize im just stomping them. I slow down a bit. Let them pop some gens. Extend chase and break more pallet. Easy mode aint fun. I'm not stepping on ants and then laughing my ass off outside. It's just a damn game. Nobody cares how good you are at dbd.

Nobody's here thinking. Wow, this person is really damn good. He must have a good life.
Jesus . Go outside and touch some grass.

Not when the whole objective as a Killer is to kill people. I struggled with this feeling as a Killer... felt bad hitting them, hooking them (not if they were a ♥♥♥♥ to me and deserved it)

As a Survivor. I felt belt for the Killers Seeing them chase my teammate/s non-stop because they angered them in some way, see them miss a swing over and over, get looped, see them getting teabagged at the gate (just leave man) and more.

My feelings are all over the place. I blame having a soul for that. If you've ever watched Supernatural and saw the episode of Sam with no soul. you'd understand.

Personally, I always feel the game out if I've gotten like everybody hooked once or twice and they've only turned on one generator or it's clear that the fail at chases and our new most of the time. I'll just like pretend chase them to help build their skill up. Maybe kill two of them and let two escape.

But if I'm getting looped hard and the team clearly knows where they're doing then it's just a game of skill versus skill. If they out play me so be it. If I'll play them that's my reward. I don't do anything crummy or cheap

Nope im trying to be as toxic as possible in game and in after game chat

I love playing Killer, sometimes when working on Tome requirements I'll take it easy on Survivors, but most of the time I down and hook as many as I can catch, absolutely love it, I like to surprise them when they are working on the totems or glyphs because that's when they are most vulnerable and I especially like it when I can torture them on the hooks; that's what keeps me coming back to the DBD game, the thrill of the hunt, chase then the sacrifice and torture, pure adrenaline rush.
