It to get your attention that why. If a survivor does it don't bothered with them. I like to assert my dominance on them tho.
Some survivors just want to show you that sick click click macro they are using.
I do it to keep your attention on me and not the other survivors who might suck at looping. Nothing like a slugfest when the killer finds out that the rest suck at the game lol.
Yeah but, thats the thing other than a quick glance im not gonna pay attention to the guy spamming his flashy at me cause chances are that guy is good at looping
Like to me all clicky does is tell me that your either a good player or an arsehole
You asked for the reason and that is my answer.
I don’t use flashlights nor do I click but if I knew my clicking would draw attention away from the person you’re tunnelling I’d do it
Gotta click somethin'
Yes because all survivor mains do this... eyeroll. If you are a killer and play 1,000 matches that means you would potentially interact with 4,000 survivors - of the roughly 30,000 players who play survivor - daily. So once again - generalizing what survivors/survivor mains do is a broad generalization to say the least.
The only time I have ever "clicked" my flashlight was to try and blind the killer. Am I survivor main? Technically - no - I play roughly 60% of the time as killer so I have "only" played about 1,900 hours as a survivor.
Thank you
Not every survivor main is like this. Stop making hasty generalization.
They want you to chase them. Don't take the bait, but make them chase you instead with their flashlights.
Flashlight clicking and t bagging doesn’t bother me. As long as they don’t hold my game hostage then I don’t care.
Very well, allow me to psychically poll every survivor main with my titanic omnimind until we reach a consensus on why this happens.
I like people who chase me doing the clicky clicky, it tells me they are there and I don't have to worry about them doing a gen. They're literally being useless to their team with their arrogance... and they usually pay for it when I find the teammate they're trying to protect and mercilessly beat the snot out of them.
Take a hint, if the killer isn't taking the bait, go do something else - you're a detriment to your team.
I can't blind killers for the life of me, but if they ever hear me clicking it's usually me showing people where gens and totems are or just really excitedly clicking because something cool happened either in game or irl
IMO it's only toxic if they click or teabag at the exit gates, that's when it's REALLY bm.
Flashlight clicking isn't necessarily meant to be toxic, it's meant to get the killer to chase them. I consider these survivors the "designated distraction": they are there to waste my time while the other survivors pump out gens. That is why, when a survivor flashlight-clicks or teabags, I turn and walk in the opposite direction, immediately returning to patrolling gens.
Sometimes flashlight-clickers have one of the "Get chased by the killer for 180 seconds" Daily Rituals to do.
I never do this, and would never. Unless the Killer is face camping.
But then I would need to be running a Flashlight. And I never run a flashlight.
You shouldn't ask this here. The forums is mostly made of killer mains. Only a few ballsy survivors and both sides players will actually talk here.
I don't think this is true. Like, at all. 🤷♀️
Most here play both sides. Very few main specific roles on either side. This is true across probably all forums/platforms just because that is how it is in game too.
Because I like to win :D
I've personally not really had this experience with flashlight survivors.
Most people in red ranks who bring flashlights will not try to go for flashlight saves or even use it for me to get their attention to chase them. They use it to BM in chase. You dead hard to a pallet and drop it? BM and flashlight click. You pallet stun? Flashlight click to BM. You're at the exit gates and you know you can make it out? Flashlight BM.
It's ######### cringey.
I did it once to take the attention away from the survivor who was getting tunneled real hard and I ended getting hit on the hook for it.
The only time I ever click my flashlight at the killer is when they are completely dominating my teammates, and drop chase on me after 15-20s.
I really don't enjoy games where my teammates all get 3-hooked before I've even sat on the hook once. I make an effort to take aggro from the killer, but often times the killer knows its so much easier to turn and down my teammates in seconds.
Its infuriating, because its all out of my control. So me clicking my flashlight is my small way of "taking back control."
hahahahaha sum1 got butt hurt over my comment and deleted it what a salty entitled pleb
FINALLY someone realizes that nice survivor mains are there Not all of us are toxic mofos
What do you do when they really go over the line and show some bad manner?
Morse code
Bad manners most of the time. They want to flex how “good” they are in this game by bullying weak killers via broken matchmaking.
Often these survivors are the one who DC on first down.
