Bully squads

[ratkingcharlie]

Why do some survivor teams or SWF's essentially bully killers? I hate it when a group is clearly outpacing and outplaying the killer - obviously more skilled than what the killer is - and then continue to do things like 3-4 man play "catch" over the killer's head by doing things like purposely triggering notifications to get the killer to pay them attention so the others can do x or y, or so that one can sabotage the hook just as you get to it, or they bodyblock the hook as a group so you can't get a single hook.

I just got one hook in the match while they rapidly finished gens and one in particular kept trying to keep me chasing them, and when they started opening the gate I managed to grab one of them and went to hook them, but two of the other survivors followed and bodyblocked the hook, even though it was clear I was playing like a stupid baby killer against their skillsmanship. I know keeping my attitude in check is my issue, but sometimes people really ruin the game.

Yesterday I played against a swf duo who clearly play to troll and grief. I had the misfortune of getting into a second match with them (after they bodyblocked me at a gen the first time I ran into them and let me die thereafter), and they found me and bodyblocked me the whole game until we all died at the end of EGC. I tried really hard to be "ok" about what they did, but it affected me the rest of the day.

I really hate being killer when some groups just make it their personal playground and don't even play in a sporting way so that a underskilled killer can get some enjoyment out of the role.

They do it because that's DbD for you.

All roads lead to cringe meta builds and eventually tunnelling because this is the reality of the game.

Learn to ignore the spam notifications. They want to distract you because they know their little friend will be downed and hooked making him closer to death. All they want you is to get triggered so they can have the laugh after the game.

One easy way to counter those survivors is by being toxic back. Get a killer that you feel comfortable with and know how to use, get good perks, get good power addons and offerings (I mainly aim for offerings that decrease the distance between the hooks). When you get in a chase don't leave it because some crackhead started spamming notifications. Also learn to mind-game, it's important!

Don't let it get to you even the top streamers get these groups. I'm not sure why they do it but try your best to use it to your advantage.

IT's not DBD, there are miserable trolls in every single game because miserable trolls are a part of life, some people only feel happy when they are ruining things for others, that's not the game's fault it's the miserable person's fault.

This one is way too on the nose.

I know I shouldn't say this here because I play on mobile too, but recently I dealt with Bully Squads, learned from my mistakes after meeting them last time, and turned off Aim helper,Because it's terribly difficult to control, secondly, do not pay attention to one Survivor, attack everyone you see, if you hurt someone, hurt the second one and then try to knock down the first one. The best perk for bodyblock is either Save best for last or Mad Grit, if you choose SBfL then just attack all guys looping you until you get 8 tokens, if you somehow(try to suprise them by just running in the place trying to make them think you will not give them chance to heal them then in right moment pick up the body and look up) pick up Survivor then try to fast as you can look up and try to find aura of the Hook and if they body block you then no problem you can hit them with 1,2 s cooldown xD and down them as well so they focus on healing downed Ally than helping because they try to unhook them. I had fun than anger ,and at the end of game they said i did really well outsmarting them, ( i hooked them 4 times but all escaped before that they honestly didn't teabag in the gate they just stood there and let me farm some BP)

Probably they so attitude to your killer, because you violate several rules in "Survivor Rule Book for the Killers" and these survivors very soon noticed this. Need remember about that violating even one rule from this book, give survivors full rights attitude to such killer without any mercy
