Please stop justifying yourself.

Yeah. I know. Look at me, I'm an idiot. That's crazy talk. Stop having reasons to play Spirit, to play Nurse, to run DS/UB or OoO with my friends? What's this guy on about.
But please: It's okay to run strong things.
That's it. There doesn't need to be a reason, an excuse. You might well have one, but you don't need to. At all. In any way. Your reason is totally fine being "I want to win." There's nothing wrong with that in the slightest. All the rest, all the victimisation and the blaming of the other side, it's just causing this community to divide and rot. It's not the survivors fault you're playing Pyramid Head. It's not the killers fault you're running DS/UB. It's yours. You wanted to. You wanted to be powerful, to bring in the good stuff, and that's okay.
But this insane, constant need to justify ourselves, it's just alienating everyone. Not every killer tunnels. Not every survivor runs UB with their DS. And trying to claim that they do? Trying to tell them that it's their fault? That they are the ones ruining your day, despite you having never played them in your lives? That's hurting everyone.
It's okay to run strong stuff. You don't need any other reason than that. You don't need to justify yourself. Just do it because you want to.
And side note, please stop making me constantly remember to mention a problem from each side of equal magnitude. I'm very tired and it hurts my brain. Sometimes I talk about survivor, sometimes I talk about killer, and not remembering to do both all the time every day doesn't mean I've completely forgotten the other.

Agreed. You don't need a reason to run strong things or play in group. Just don't be a [BAD WORD] because you won without putting more effort than usual.
Weaker perks are more fun these days, because a lot of killers expect the strong stuff. Lightweight + corn + pebble = lul
Idc what perks you run or who you play as. It's your playstyle that makes you toxic.
I am gonna go one step further and say its also okay to camp/tunnel to win games. It is not okay to do things just to annoy the other side (like teabagging/taunting), that would be just plain toxicity, but otherwise you can play however you like. The only people who are supposed to consider other sides fun are devs, you are free to do and use whatever you want and if it's a problem it should be fixed, not shamed.
Additionally, it's okay to do none of these and enjoy the game while taking into account other sides fun too. This is how I always play but I don't think this is in anyway the only "correct" way. Play however you want.
Repeating myself but want to emphasize that I'm not talking about people who do and use these with the sole purpose of annoying other people, that's just being a bad person. As long as your intention is winning and enjoying the game itself then it's all good.
Empathy, breakout and MoM are hilarious when they work.
What a Chad build lol
It's just not gonna happen. I want it to, but it's not.
You'd think majority of people that are toxic and want to ruin people's fun are the killers - plenty are but after playing killer for so long and fairly at that - it's sadly survivors that are much more toxic.
A killer can just Mori and camp places, a survivor can endlessly loop - tbag - point and wave - they know what they can do and they will do it and not care for your feelings at all because you're "a killer" and apparently killers have no feelings.
I can admit there are PLENTY of actually good teams that can beat me and not be toxic - but most people that know they can beat you in ANY way will take advantage and be rude to you.
Until this game is fun, I'm only going to randomly play when new cosmetics come out. No matter what I'll love my boy Ghostface.
Applause 👏🏻
This post reeks of entitlement. It IS fine to run DS/UB. It is NOT ok to run noed or play spirit. I would get into why, but I'd rather not.
/s
Get into why.
Refresh your page.
Im sorry what? How does this post reek of entitledment? Why is it okay to run ds/ub but not noed spirit?
Is my post not updating? I added an /s...
Literally just did.
No, I updated it when it came out. I was making a joke statement. Anyone with that mentality is wrong, and shouldn't play multiplayer games.
Fair enough. And yea.
My statement was a joke. I added an /s for clarification.
Theres really no need to justify anything to use.
The only problem are the people who use the strong things but then complain when the other side also uses strong things.
Otherwise there is no reason to justify bringing a key or a mori or whatever else. As long as its in the game and not again the rules, its okey.
(And no, selfmade rules doesnt count!)
You know, I kind of agree. Such tactics are simple, they are easy, and they often work (which is still shocking to me.) So long as the killer in question has no illusions about what they are doing, and so long as they are aware that they are making their opposition miserable... It's more the Devs fault for encouraging it than a players for playing that way.
I'm guessing you use empathy to have an earlier warning of where you need to be? Might throw on a healing perk as well and give it a go
If I see someone on empathy, I go for them and bodyblock to get a MoM stack.
But I play both sides and XX, YY, and ZZ is uNFaIR.
Yeah, don't worry about what other people think. Run your toxic build and chase half the population out of this sinking ship even faster.
Why is it notifying me when someone comments on your post?
Did you see my /s on my comment? I don't want you to think I'm a jerk.
Yeah, I saw it and laughed, and I have no idea why you are getting notifications. That's just... Well, the forum has been having issues lately. Maybe this is one of them.
And that mentality is exactly what I'm talking about. How is it toxic to run strong things? How is it someone's fault for wanting to win? If something is broken, it's not the players fault for running it, it's the Devs fault for allowing it to exist in the first place.
I can honestly say I never use to run ds/ub but then I started being tunneled and slugged left on ground for the whole bleed out duration and it never crossed my mind to run UB till that ######### happened I didnt choose to run those perks killers playing like that (tunnel/slug/camp) forced me to run it I'd personally like to run other things but until killers stop playing like trash I'm forced to run the meta specially when randos arent doing gens and im in a chase 10 mins
In my opinion, I agree with you on some things. I'm personally ok with tunneling because killers usually tunnel to win. I HATE camping though. I feel like camping doesn't help the killer as it makes it easier for survivors to win and it doesn't help the killer at all. It also makes the survivor being camped not have any fun because they are stuck on a hook for the whole game. I understand if a killer camps at the endgame but that's about it. I honestly think killers camp at the the beginning of the game or at the middle of the game just to piss some people off. I'm honestly the kind of player who doesn't care what perks a killer or survivor runs, as long as I have fun. But I just don't like camping and don't understand why people would do it. Sorry for the rant :/
These titles are getting ridiculous
