[@tommarshall7016]

Every survivor build i make has bt in it, for both solo and swf. Just for those cases where the killer is proxy camping and I dont really wanna leave someone on a hook as its boring and super annoying to die first hook, especially is your in a swf and have to wait for your team to finish a match.

[@weezards1014]

Sounds like a normal game against plague

To be fair, BT only activates and becomes a problem for you if your proxy camping. Adjust your playstyle to juggle survivors instead and you'll notice BT and DS mean nothing anymore.

[@retr4y562]

For me this squad isnt a bully squad, in my opinion a bully squad is a squad that wants to piss off the killer, teabagging and flashlight clicking, vault abusing, and etc. This squad you have gone against is a good squad, they were confident about their skills but, i didnt see any survivor do a teabag in any loop, they were trying to survive and still not disrespecting the killer (even when they are not scary of him) This is a really good squad, i would prefer be against this kinda of squad daily then a head-on group + flashlight clickers

[@pietro93vit]

You're damn right, also in EU Red rank, this is a common game, not rare at all, the real eu bully squad will give you no freehits, nothing at all, they made 0 mistakes, they abude everything every perk ALWAYS and also tbag and click, heal in front of you constantly. This Is no way near a real bully eu squod

[@gameovertim994]

@@pietro93vit Yeah EU, Asian server and American servers all have completely different metas. Ppl play different. Also you know America has like one language, while Europe has multiple and you have stereotypes, like toxic russians, frenchies etc. You don´t really have those ppl that just want to piss you off on NA servers that much in no game americans can say they have seen real toxicity, Ever played Overwatch on the European server? In comparision to what EU players face, NA is like preschool there is that one child that is weird and ppl like to play pranks on him , While EU is middle school and you are the prey of everyone in the damn class, so hard that you don´t even want to go to school anymore. If you play on EU in the morning you face sweaty russian swf, red ranks that purposely get themselves a low rank survivor into the team, so the algorithmn is versing them against low rank killers. And those killers, get blinded, stunned, bodyblocked, tbagged, spun around, dead harded, bted. Healing right in front of the killers face. Gens get completed into that killers face etc. No free hits, they are sending you to Ormond or Haddonfield with offerings, If you survive that tough as hell learning curve on EU servers, you can say that you understood how to play killer. I have friends that played on Asian servers, and they had almost no toxicity or bullying there. And NA seems fine to me in comparision to what EU is like.

[@jamie1224]

I agree. The bully part is when they go against someone who isn't Scott and can't handle these plays (queing with lower ranks). They teabag, etc.

[@GogiRegion]

I was thinking the same.

[@enigmaoriginal2665]

As a 50/50 player I agree. The whole "be afraid of killer, killer power role fantasy" is tainted goods. Truth is this isn't a horror game and killer isn't the "final boss." It's a more complicated hybrid of Tag/Hide and Seek. I'm same if I'm killer as long as your not teabagging,or clicking your flashlight/spamming vaults I'm good. Or if your that survivor that immediately runs to Fun Bus the second I hit you no matter where you are on the map, that's annoying too. And as survivor all I ask is don't Facecamp me and don't swing at me the second my feet touch the ground deliberately ignoring other survivors trying to take aggro. Unless the gates are powered I'm a firm believer there's no such thing as tunneling or camping when the gates are powered.

My view of these guys isn't that they're a bully squad. They're certainly fearless and look pretty good to my scrub eyes, but when I think bully survs I think people who flashlight over every pallet and teabagging on missed swings. People who try go out of their way to tilt you over playing optimally. These guys were bold af which certainly can be annoying, but none of it seemed intentionally toxic. I always love the videos of scott analyzing himself and explaining his thought process like how he recognizes good survivors and adjusts his gameplay to it

[@Enzo-ym6cf]

I think the only survivors that you could call "bullies" are the one trying to set up traps using head on and spamming flashlights. I guess you could call that bullying but I'm cool with it personally. The guys Scott was facing are simply a decent red rank team in my opinion.

[@dirac_dydx1830]

To be fair, he did specify that *new* killers might consider them bully squads, because they're so aggressive and overwhelming. That's a mistaken assumption, of course, and as players gain experience they hopefully learn to respect good survivors instead of raging at them and taking things personally.

[@wetwad6580]

@Nate Higgers wglf rewards risky altruistic playstyles with extra points. while hooking survivors is a killers objective, killing a survivor is their main objective. imagine if killers only got a stack for successfully killing a survivor, that's what getting a stack for finishing a gen would be like. killers don't get 4 kills every game, survivors don't always get 4 gens done every game. I like where they're headed with WGLF but I do think stacks should be limited to altruism and boldness actions.

[@wetwad6580]

@Nate Higgers I get what you're saying and I agree that wglf stacks are hard to get but thats why I'm saying there should be more events that reward stacks, i just don't think doing gens fits with what the perk is trying to encourage. Some examples of what i think would be good events would be sabotaging near a killer while they're carrying a survivor, getting a killer to drop a survivor even without taking hits, picking up slugged survivors, maybe even healing another teammate within the killers TR

I actually followed Scott's advice about not being offended when Survs are doing their objectives well, and I extended that whenever I play Survivor. Whenever I go against a Pig, (a killer I personally main here and there) I try to take notes from them as they're chasing me so I can learn and maybe apply that style to my games. Personally, I think that DBD can be a less toxic place (not saying it'll be toxic-free, let's be realistic here) if players viewed every match as a learning experience for playing both sides, taking notes about possible strats and just acknowledging when you got outplayed or made a mistake then chalk it up to fix next game.

20:05 Out of curiosity, if these guys aren't considered "Sweaty," what is then? Because they all had super meta perks, we're a SWF in coms, coordinating adrenaline procs with coms, and pushed gens as optimally as they could. Can survivors not be considered sweaty in your opinion? Not trying to be antagonistic, I'm actually curious.

[@ScottJund]

Sweaty to me is those who prioritize winning over having fun, simple as that. See: 4 man tourney squads playing matches against randoms and utterly stomping them with no bold plays, all split up, intentionally letting people die to enhance gen time, etc.

[@olive8382]

This is actually not sweaty at all if you compare it to what they could be doing. And they're not running all meta perks though? Are we looking at the same endgame screen? Stake out, inner strength, wglf, only 1 ds, 2 bts, bit of adrenalines and iw and then the dead hards/lithe. You can compare this to what scott is running, good perks in general - not a sweaty build. Sweat squad would have multiple ds + unbreakable and most likely more sprint bursts instead, also quite possibly one object to call out information to the rest, maybe even map offering. Possibly medkits instead of flashlights. Most importantly sweat squads play differently - these guys were clearly fearless and didn't care much about the killer, grouped up, let the killer hit them for free. If they were sweating they would have did the most efficient thing, just split up and did gens, instead you can see that they were messing around a lot. This just seemed like a pretty intense and enjoyable game, I'd really rather play against this than a real sweat squad or a team full of immersed players.

[@ItsDidizle]

"Meta" perks don't make someone sweaty, they just so happen to be strong perks that are worth running over others. Just being in comms doesn't make you sweaty. Do you think that anyone who plays something like a BR and communicates with their friends is sweaty? Coordinating adren procs I also don't see as sweaty, that's just how you use adrenaline lmao. They definitely didn't do gens as optimally as possible though. That game took far too long and too many of them were close to each other too often for it to have been optimal.

[@Nanachiiky]

he considers sweats those who can loop for so long and so like perfectly that hitting them will take a year,and then if they get hooked they wont even attempt to get them off the hook,theyll just turbo gens

Another thing to remember: Most killer players will only have a few hundred hours played. The game is a 1 v 4, so if one of the survivors happens to be a god with 5k hours it's normal that you lose. Would you get tilted if Lebron James owned you at basketball?

You want people to be scared of you while playing killer? Give them a reason to fear you. Don't assune that the moment you select the play killer option that you will become a monster feared by all. You are just a person and the people who are experienced know that you are just a person so they may not be scared nk matter what they do.

once a game becomes pvp it loses the ability to become truly scary

[@Noname72105]

It's not a matter of the players being scared like, in terror. But they should be mechanically intimidated. They should be at a greater disadvantage in open conflict with the killer than this game demonstrates them to be.

[@Regularguy2nd]

@@Noname72105 still even in your own words. survivors still need a reason to be intimidated. They're not gonne be intimidated by every single fuddy duddy killer that comes along. Not every killer was created equal as we all know some are far stronger than the others and those are the ones that even some of the best survivors are intimidated by. I myself am intimidared by a good nurse or spirit same with a good billy. But if the killer player isn't good at all i won't be scared at all. Thus it brings be back to a killer having to earn their inimidation factor from survivors who have likely seen every many times over

[@Regularguy2nd]

@@Noname72105 the potential for 1v1 situations are in the game because the killer could choose to just tunnel one person to death really easy otherwise. and if it wasn't possible for a survivor run a killer the whole match every killer would just tunnel 1 survivor really quickly which wluld mske killer way too easy cause facing 3 survivors compared 4 is way easier

[@Plastoon.]

scott, buddy, you got 32K points with 3 kills and 11-10 hooks. literately just shy of a perfect victory and the last guy made it out by the skin of his teeth. That's a clear victory in my book. Focusing on just getting the 4k is just not enough for me and isn't as challenging overall. my personal draw or tie conditions for killer are as follows. 1.getting roughly equal amount of BP the collective average of the survivors BP. 2.get 2 kills. 3.get to at least a safety pip (even if I am already rank 1). for Survivor it is as follows. 1.having 2 survivors escape. (myself escaping is a bonus) 2. having higher average blood points collectively as a team compared to the killer. 3. getting at least a safety pip. anything less for me than these requirements is a loss. additionally, getting 2/3 of the requirements for killer or Survivors counts as victory. I feel like this is as close to the wins conditions that the devs "intended" for dbd and is why I chose to use these requirements tp judge my gameplay.

[@Solexos]

He always says since theres no win condition in this game that winning can be whatever anyone wants it to be. Thats why if you watch his stream and theres a match where he may only get one kill his chat will say, “You got 4 stacks of bbq so you win.” I think he sets his win condition so high simply because he knows he has a lot of hours and will play better than most survivors he goes against.

[@Tobykaani]

Maybe semantics to some, but atleast for me I disagree strongly on your depiction on bully squad. Sweaty squad is a SWF which optimizes and coordinates everything and can be bold as mentioned to benefit the team. They can coordinate tactics and items that can be unfun for killer, but they're only picked to tip the odds more for in their favor. Bully squad first and foremost objective is to ruin killers experience, everythings is secondary, even winning. Manifested in teabags, clicking, all kinds of other obnoxious behaviors such as spamming vault to spam the explosions for killers or run double OoO jus to point the killer. While sweaty squad is not inherently bad on moral level, it can still be awful to go against. Bully squad as name implies is just getting the kicks from malice actions and such should be clearly disinguished from the normals swf's and should be heavily frowned upon.

[@lazarusbooth8898]

This I agree with. This team was good but they were also friendly in end game. Bully squads are literally only satisfied with making the killer tilted. This kind of stuff makes me quit the game for months at a time only to try again and repeat the process

[@xtingwisher]

I strongly agree I wish more people would note the difference. I'm a sweaty as killer, so I deserve sweaty ass survivors, but I hate going against people who try even harder to win not because they are sweaty but because they're awful people and winning really is secondary to them and they have a shit attitude.

[@tyfly2000]

FAX. This shit is the reason why if you’re just a good survivor who has lots of hours and is “sweaty” but isn’t necessarily trying to ruin the killer’s experience/gameplay, you’re considered a “toxic entitled survivor main”

[@FukurouYGR]

This is not a bully squad tho. When people complain about bully squads... the word "Bully" is very literal.

[@JustThiago420]

This match really shows how strong the new WGLF is on SWF. Unbreakable already is a strong anti-slug perk that can make you lose games just because one person picked themself up, but with WGLF, and with fearless survivors like that, you don't even have a chance to get multiple people on the ground at once, since if you slug someone, the 2 other survivors will probably immediately go pick the other person up as you chase someone else.

I've found that if you are getting gen rushed, slugging works best. Because if you try to hook one or two survivers immediately, their teammates will pump out gens. You gotta give the survivors a choice: do the gens, or save your teammates. The ideal scenario would be: you slug one survivor, then slug another. After you get the second guy, go back and hook the first guy. Chances are there will be someone attempting to pick them up. If you can get a free hit, do it, but don't commit to the third guy. You get the hook, then go back to the slugged survivor. At this point you can snowball your way to victory! Just remember: you have to give them a reason to get off gens, but don't feel bad if you need to sacrifice a gen for the sake of map pressure.

[@TheAzarak]

The problem that you and Jen didn't seem to address during that game on stream is that these survivors are aggressive as hell because they can; because of their perks and not their skill. If you weren't one of the top 4 or so killers like you were (specifically if you weren't a very mobile killer like you were), you would have gotten stomped and there would have been NOTHING you could have done about it. That's the problem people complain about. These types of survivors abuse every second chance perk they have to almost become un-counterable. Even as Blight, if they didn't underestimate you like they did several times, you would have still lost. They just made too many mistakes, some being really bad, like not seeing pallets right in front of them, etc. If they were better survivors, no chance. Now play against them as mid-tier killers, wraith or ghostface, or bubba, etc. You would have been utterly destroyed with no chance. That's what's bullshit, and they know it's bullshit, so really, they are trying to bully, they are trying to take advantage of their immunity perks. You can't tunnel them, you can't slug them (WGLF basically a better and reusable unbreakable now), you can't camp them, and you can't even do anything about them doing gens in your face after being unhooked. Hell, you can't even properly chase them because every time they finally make a mistake, they just get away Scott free (pun intended) with Dead Hard and extend the chase by 50% while the other 3 are pushing gens while injured. And I won't even get into their coordination, because that's honestly the part that makes it work as well as it does. TL;DR you wouldn't be making this video if you played against them as pretty much any other killer except maybe nurse. Even spirit does not have the map pressure to handle this type of group.

[@maxt3832]

its not black and white like that. if you give 4 green rank survivors ds, bt, ub, and dh theyll get stomped by any red rank killer no matter who theyre playing. you can win in this game without meta killers, the only time you cant is if youre against a top1% death squad who only do gens.

If they're trying to bully, take advantage of it. Usually against bully squads in my experience, they'll be two or 3 survivors trying to mess with me while the last one sticks on gens all game, don't commit to chases too long, get a pallet or two out of someone and rotate. If you don't get a pallet or a hit in 15 seconds of chase, you most likely did something wrong. I only play Ghostface although I have started to play a lot of Legion lately as well so I deal with squads like this all the time. Not "Death" squads but bully squads who try to make me suffer as much as possible since I'm playing mid tier and under killers. If you have to force someone to second stage, do it. If you want to slug, do it. Don't try to play nicely at all. If they're gonna ruin my fun, I'll play the same game but most of all don't get tilted. That's what they want. If it's a bad map for killer like Ormond or Cowshed aim to get 2 of them because at the end of the day, getting two of them on unfavourable maps while they run every second chance perk available is perfectly okay and don't give them any attention in post game chat.

In my experience, you should always welcome good teams to play against with open arms. Sure, you might struggle against them, and you could get stomped, but playing against players who are as good as you or even better will always teach you more than just stomping new/bad players. Going into any multiplayer pvp game with the mindset to take challenging situations as something to learn from, in my experience, reduces tilt and long-term make playing the game more fun. Try not to blame others for being better at the game, but rather look at yourself and improve from every experience. And most of all, be friendly to other players. They're people like you and me, and only because they might want to take the game more seriously than you do, doesn't make them bad people. Be open-minded and accept that not all approach something exactly the way you do.
