How do you handle toxic survivors in game.

It confuses me how to deal with toxic/cocky survivors. I feel like to counter them I have to go for them first and make sure they die on the hook asap. Is it right to target these survivors? I'm like well they're asking for it for getting up in the killers face. At the same time I feel bad for being mean to that one survivor I targetted. What do you think?

If someone t-bags or flashlight clicks fast that changes nothing on how you deal with them. If it’s something else, chances are it’s not toxic, it just annoys you (actual flashlights blinds are an example)
Also, it’s almost always on purpose as they’re the best looper, and could run you around for a good while, then waste more time having you camp them. Only ever camp if it’s strategically the right thing to do, IE : exit gate powered, or if the entire team tries to hook rush, meaning zero people are on gens
I just play my game. If I change the way I play to adjust to their toxic behavior, I am giving them what they want.
You dont get them : “I’m so awesome, you couldn’t even touch me. Git gud Killer EZ PZ”
You do get them by tunnel/camp : “Just couldn’t take your eyes off me huh? Had to tunnel and camp me to make sure I die? I know I’m awesome and you HAD to get rid of me because I’m a huge threat. I’m sooo good at this game.”
The only way to “beat” toxic Survivors is just treat them like they’re nothing special. That’s how you get back at them. They want special treatment, don’t give it to them is all. I play Nurse on PS4 and 80% or more Nurse’s are awful and can’t land a Blink to save thier lives. I love cocky Survivors because they will run up to me and tea bag thinking I’m another “Just doing a Daily” Nurse.
Then they end up on the floor in 10 seconds and I just say “Going to tea bag me now?” Usually that ends the shenanigans PDQ.
Kill them last
Typically if i see a toxic clicky clicky tea bagger with D strike i ignore them. They want me to follow them so that they can use the broken loops in this game to waste my time. Don't take the bait. They will typically follow you around trying to get your attention if you ignore them which works to your benefit. I had one toxic survivor that tried to bait at the start of the match. Went for her friends instead. Needless to say i killed every last one. All 3 of them DCed. I managed to get my little toxic survivor to DC when i dropped her right as she hit her d strike and she dident get the free escape. I made sure to rub it in with a good chainsaw spam and head nodding. She promptly DCed. Feels good man.
What I like to do is ignore them for the time being. I know that the reason they're so cocky is because they're either good, or they're going to use every pallet in the game and loop me from dusk till dawn. I focus on other survivors instead and narrow their numbers down. I try to make the game easier for myself by slowing it down a bit before going after them. By then, they've lost a lot of their advantage and I can usually take them down. The best thing to do is not take the bait and, instead, focus on making them, as a team, weaker by going after others.
Thanks for this thread. I was having a lot of matches with toxic survivors when I was trying to play killer all weekend. I'm not a good killer (I main survivor) so when I try to practice as killer, I get a lot of toxic survivors who constantly mess with me (teabag, flashlight clicks, etc). So it's annoying. Thank you for all of the advice and two cents on this topic. I needed this myself.
Or if I know they’re all going to be looping crazy and I’ve already gotten my points; I’ll just hide somewhere or look for ways to disturb the Survivors. If they’re all sitting at the exit gate, it depends on my Killer. The Shape: I’ll stand halfway behind a wall and watch them- unmoving(until they leave). The Cannibal: I’ll rev the chainsaw and just Chaaarge!
Pretty much, just don’t let it get to you. Try not to get stressed if possible. And try to have some kind of fun. Those matches can be frustrating.

I ignore the "clicky clicky" DS users, usually they will follow me around and I can just bait them. I learned with time they're not that good, they're even terrible when it comes to mindgame, because they usually rely way too much on pallets.
Though again, this is ps4. I’ve found that ps4 Survivor community seems to be the least toxic of the three platforms.
If you want to do well just don't chase the toxic survivor and, don't get angry at them just ignore them and chase someone else. You can't just chase the survivor who is only good at running the killer.
On console they direct message you, and it that doesn’t get results, they name and shame on the PlayStation dead by daylight community. Only the second biggest community has moderators, With the active ones being me and Sordun
I just say gg and move on. What can I say that hasn't already been covered thousands of times over? Survivor is the power role in the game.
Laugh at them.
Aim FINGERGUNS at them
Just follow my rule. Tbag or click with flashlight = facecamp
