I used to love this game. I had fun, square matches that tested my abilities. But now its hyper toxic hellhole, that disregards the integrity of the game just so you can "clown on" some killer. That's not even talking abut DLC power creep and anti-consumer practices. Yeah its a good game, for you and your friends. Yeah its a good game, IF you got in years ago. Not anymore.

I main a killer, Huntress, and I do my best to not tunnel. I go so far as to walk past survivors after hooking their friend. Now if you're blatantly taking massive risks, I have to hit you with some consequences. But I'll often act like I didn't see the survivor hiding behind the rock, when near a hooked player. I try to play in a way that keeps the game fun for survivors and killers alike. Some of my best games are games where I did not play my best. Yet is is difficult to maintain that policy, when you are treated in return with t-bagging survivors, every time you turn around. I have let survivors wiggle off my shoulder, when I slug two in rapid succession, only to have their team t-bag surround me afterwards. It tests the limits of my patience.

There are games where you will be kind to one survivor, because you've hooked them twice while the rest of the team has been doing god knows what. Then they think you're friendly and try to farm points off of your actions, or guide you to others. I hate this practice. Finding the balance between letting someone go free because they were unlucky does not mean I'm gonna let you roam free. I hit a shot even I think is BS through a window? I'll let you wiggle off my shoulder sure. But I'm not gonna let you heal your injured friend in front of me. Team member AFK? I'll wait to hit them until they start playing. That is not a license to not run when I hit you thinking I wont hook you.

Finding the balance that keeps the game fun, is difficult when it is exploited to both extremes.

There are also games you will have that push your abilities to the very limit and you win by the skin of your teeth, or suffer a loss that you are actually proud of. But these are few and far between. I limit my abilities to match the survivors I play against, to make it a fair and fun match. I fear I am one of the few who actively tries to preserve the community of the game.

The community is the biggest problem in this game. You are not equal participant and respectable opponent. Often you are just someone to troll using gen-run 4-flashlight meta builds. I loved this game. I don't love its community, I'm embarrassed by it, repulsed by it.
