Trueee. I have very little issue with bully squads, I hardly see them that when I do - I entertain it and actually have a good laugh. As soon as they know I have light born or I face camp them, they suddenly start doing gens when they weren’t before and were all running round me.

Most killers are too sensitive when it comes to "bullying". I enjoy facing premade teams that play for fun, stuns, blinds, etc much more than gen rushers. And both aspects are totally fine. Same goes for tunneling and camping.
At this point I'm convinced that the superstar saga OST in the background is the reason your killer games look more fun than killer games should be. Probably worth being unable to hear survivors.
bully squads are rough, but I'd rather have that than an efficient team pumping out gens. Lately as survivor I've tried shifting my attention more to making fun plays with flashlights and sabos and whatnot, rather than just efficiently doing gens. Depends on the killer, if it's a Nurse or something or the killer's clearly sweating pretty hard, then I can play to win more.
I agree with the point you made so much that I don't even think these teams were bad when it comes to " bullying " I have almost 200 days in game and make it to red rank one on both sides every month. I've faced far far worse than shown and seen much worse in tournament style game play. This isn't even close to a comp team. That being said, never give up. Those are some of the most enjoyable matches you'll have if you don't let yourself get frustrated and understand you likely won't get many if any kills.
What should you do if 2 survivors hide in lockers? As long as they switch lockers when the killer isn't around the can technically never end the game. I think killers should be able to open the exit gates after 5 mins that way the game can't be held hostage.
I think the big distinction between "bully" squad and an actual bully squad is whether or not they're there to make the match as miserable as possible.
tbh I don't really consider it a bully squad unless they're doing that and genrushing (I mean actual genrushing. Like bringing brand new part and shit) coz otherwise it's a free game for you if you just don't get tilted
@@frgogi3485I don't consider that a bully Squad because it's an actual valid Squad. Do a s much progress as possible whilst preventing the killer from progressing.

@@Velkan1396 true but if someone plays so optimally to the point that one chase loses me three gens then I'm gonna tunnel. It's effective and the only way to put some lasting pressure on a team that coordinated
I refer to survivors teabagging in the exit gate as the "survivor superiority syndrome". It used to tilt me and make me think they’re being toxic, now I don’t go to the gates anymore and let them mash their control keys till they realize they’re not getting a reaction from me and leave (or die to the Entity because they didn’t leave in time). Now there are only few things that I personally find toxic, one of them being things the other players say in endgame chat (I hate that thing so much), the other being hit on hook or having a survivor spam unhook for two minutes straight (or three when they put Reassurance on you and you are forced to endure it for another minute). I hate it when people say certain perks, like NoEd, Insidious, Dead Hard, Decisive Strike, or items such as flashlights, are toxic. They’re not. Are they annoying? Sure. But they’re not toxic. It seems like people tend to use the word "toxic" very easily. A lot of things in this game aren’t toxic, they’re just a nuisance to go against.
I have never heard a survivor spamming unhook = toxicity. Back in the day it was used to signal for camping (especially face camping) although new players commonly misunderstood the meaning as come unhook me. You also aren't forced to endure anything either. Just get the fuck away from the first hook at 5 gens. A hook phase takes only a minute to complete and reassurance gives you 30 seconds so unless its a squad with 4 of them its not something to cry about.
@@preslavprodanov2149 I don’t think you understand what spamming unhook means: it’s when another survivor continuously spams the unhook action on you but immediately cancels it. You won’t get the chance to unhook yourself and it’s very disorienting, especially on second hook.
My first and only bully squad was after Knight release. It was average Wesker game in Badham against 4 Dwights. I went chasing to main basement, and was stuned by head on. I switch targets only to be head one'd again by the person I was chasing previously. And then again by the third Dwight. I soon realized that they ALL had head ons, so I quickly understood what tipe of games it is going to be. And after that I was pretty chill. They didn't care abt gens, and was just goofing around. And I played along. Tried to figure out how not to fall for head ons, how awoid three flashlight at once... In the end I killed all of them, but tald in the endgame chat that it was THE funniest game I've ever had. And after that I realized, one of them was a TTW streamer. So I found their stream, and once again thanked them for such experience. They all was very chill dudes, and actually worried that killers would be offended by such gameplay, and that was not their goal. They wanted to have fun and run around with head ons, because, who even need to do this boring gens? So yeah, it really was fun, and I glad that this game is saved in their twitch channel, so I could re-watch it as much as I want
I love bully squads. Constant chases, quickly creates deadzones, and don't have to worry much about map control. They are literally the most fun survivors to go against. Sadly, they are rare. You usually get solos where someone gives up, or you get sweat SWFs that gen rush and prerun to safe loops before you even get close.
@@Timothee_Chalamet_CMBYNno, experienced bully squad are also constantly in chase and don't force you to worry about map control. It is a bit odd if they don't bring a map offering to a map with good window loops though
@@lyebatenkaitosofgluttony2452They have to make sure you don't stop playing or DC instantly, SWF = 100% winrate in normal circumstances, playing seriously isn't encouraged.
Hey killa, just wanted to say that you're one of the best dbd content creators out there right now, and I don't mean that lightly. I don't exactly see alot of small creators that legitimately make me feel like they are criminally underrated, your satirical "guide" videos are insanely funny and based, especially the dbd content creator one, just leaving this comment to let you know that your content is appreciated my man, and take your time to pump out quality stuff like this.
That's true. This channel is like a fresh air. I wish all people have the same attitude about the game. If you like small creators, you can also check out Twoknee. He is fun.
I don't remember my first encounter but i do remember my most memorable one, my way of recognizing a bully squad is when they say forget the objective and just want to make you miserable. 3 of them cycled head on stuns and flashlight saves with breakout and sabo on Lery's on my Bing Bong while Bill was the only one who bothered to do gens but it is what it is, i could've played better regardless but at least it make them somewhat predictable
This type of squad is the most common, with some replacing the Sabo with Vigil or Flashbang. I have faced three of them in a row yesterday and it was miserable.
boo hoo somebody has fun. just also have fun. laugh with them. i assure you they are just in a call with friends laughing and having fun playing a game.
One of my all time favorite matches was me playing against Junebug a pretty great dude who likes to play in "bully squads" and have a blast, it was so much fun as they were playing on Dead Dawg and were tryna use the lockers to their advantage but I was aware of what they were planning and it was such a fun back and forth, sadly I don't have the vod saved but it was amazing, just gotta go with the flow when you meet these squads and have a blast too
There is a difference between Bully Squad and people just goofing around with friends. Usually, the biggest factor of "fun" is how much the killer is ready to mix with them. Sure, you can play optimally and stomp them out in 5 mins, or you can goof around and go for fun risky stuff and still "win" at the end. I know that nothing obligates you to enter their state of mind, but most bully squads aren't "bully" squads.
Yeah, because when i play bubba, Camp a guy woth insidious in the badement and end up with 2 or 3 kills and i write gg i really mean it, it wasnt just to piss them off aditionally, right?
I really like your mindset playing dbd :) this video and the ‘how to enjoy killer’ series are great examples of just enjoying a game without obsessing over all the little things
This video left me confused.. I'm a killer main but I didn't see anything "toxic" about both groups of survivors. First group didn't do anything at all except Cheryl tbagging two times, but it was only to buy time for the team, you said it yourself. Plus (I'm sorry but it's true) you played that match very bad and map was survivor-sided so they felt confident. I'm not even sure they were SWF. In second match nothing was toxic as well. They were probably just SWF who were too altruistic and enjoyed being chased more than doing gens. Again, no tbagging, no clicking, no toxicity. That Feng even gave you a kill and Yun-Jin was memeing in the end. I wish bully squads I play against are the same level of toxicity.
Well that was kind of my point... with a different attitude on my part, plus some creative editing, anything can look like a bully squad when it really isn't, which I think a lot of channels do. Sorry if I didn't make that clearer
@@KillaWhale ah, yes, I guess I didn't understand it well. I think the same implies to the killer side. Some players really think that if the killer in the endgame facecamps a hooked survivor who is next to the open gates, it's toxic. Like, where should he go? I had some teammates accusing killers of it. You know, the worst part is that the same people watch popular content creators, making videos like "stunning killer 50 times in one game" when the squad is running Head on somewhere on Midwich, and think it's absolutely fine. The bigotry in this game is incredible. Love you content, keep going 😍
@Мария Крутикова Community just has rocks for brains. So many people are blatantly biased in their judgements it's insane. For example everyone shits on Knight for getting skilless hits for free but i don't see anyone saying the same for Stealth killers whose entire point is getting hits for free with little counterplay.
This was a super good perspective on "bully squads". I really enjoyed the video. I think my first one was an early Nemesis game back in December 2021 and at least two of them had head on and cycled through it as I chased. I was pretty new so didn't get what was happening but got a little annoyed as I believe that was that moment when you pick up a new killer and the game goes "oh you seem to know what you're doing now so here's better survivors"
I remember when i was first bullied a Bully Squad I was playing huntress and i was very new too killer and it was clear they knew It was hell as i never knew people could do this and by the end i felt so discouraged too play Then i made an Anti Bully Squad build and it came up a few times This was back when bully sqauds were actually able to effectively bully mind you
I don't care about bully squads honestly after the locker exploit got removed. It really is just a bunch of goofing about now. Of course badham basement with all sorts of wiglle/recover perks is still terrible, but that's really it.
1:07 teabagging and clicking can be a good strat? it’s sad man, I thought you would be a really fun guy to watch play dbd since I saw your latest twins vid. Guess not anymore, sorry
Some of my most fun matches I've had have been against "bully squads". If people are just chilling, it's fun even if you happen to be on the losing side.
@@peterparker0999 isnt it funny, how they added this heart thingy so people that cant hear can habe a visible Terror radius, how they added Symbols on the hud so u always know what the other survivors do, and u can just ad some perks to Show u the aura of the other guys or the Killer. As a survivor u can Listen to Musik because u have so much crutches that u dont need the ingame Sound. But if u play Killer, u are dependend on the Sound of survivors being injured and Gens being done. No visible help like the heart on the survivor side. If u dont hear good, u have to Check for All Gens to see if someone is there, if aomeone is injured u will not hear his moanings. Yet again BHVR made the game more survivor sided and no one can complain or else he is against accessability and then one would be a Monster.
@@RealEvilLordExdeath @russischbrot you can listen to music because survivor and killer are different roles. It is not the job of survivors to find killers, thus the game does not need players to rely on audio cues, which is somewhat more the case for killer. As a survivor you also have to rely on your team and learn to work with them something the killer does not need to do since he is alone. Is that unfair that survivors have to learn something the killer doesn't need to? No because both roles are different. Also who says you can't listing to music as killer? It is still possible and if you really need to you can still use perks like tinkerer, discordance, any aura read,... to give none audio cues. Is it harder? Yeah sure but still manageable. The symbols to the HUD exist because solo queue is a thing and by giving more information to solo players they can more easily adjust survivors without only hurting solo queue and leaving SWFs with no problems (exp healing nerf). As killer you can also put on aura reading perks so I don't get why complain about that but sure whatever. You can't complain about accessibility features because they only exist to help people who need it. And before you start crying more, I do think killers also need more accessibility features even if it makes it harder for survivors such as FOV slider etc, and I hope BHVR adds that sooner than later. Get out of your victim role that "Killer is so hard and unfair and survivors have it so easy" and start playing the game
@@peterparker0999 good, because my hearing and seeing is bad, so survivors need to be in a bright colour at all time and if they are hurt their moaning must be showen by Killer Instinkt as long as they arent healed. Only then the game is truely accessable, because thats truly more important then to make the game Balanced. I wonder when they will finaly make every Boss in elden ring a oneshot, so its finaly accessable to everyone
Greetings. I enjoy your guides man, as new killer, tbh it does feel pretty easy. I am only saying that cause I feel that in the beginning, since most survs are new, the mistakes are multiplied, and they just run into me, or save as soon as I hook. But I got a feeling as I climb and try to learn, the skill will increase for all of them, meaning it truly feels like a tough 1/4. Am I wrong?
It gets harder after a while as you'll encounter more seasoned survs who are actually playing in groups. And better. Best advice is to remember it's a casual game, and behind a "bully" team or a SWF gang, there's likely a bunch of kids doing their crap for kicks. DbD IMO truly shine at mid skill level, where everyone generally knows what they're doing but aren't sweaty about winning.
Please keep in mind that the game isn't fair! Alot of players lose and feel frustrated at either themselves or the other players. No need for that most of the time. The game is simply unfair and rng based. If you get a shit map as a bad killer, you WILL lose badly, so no need to get pissy over it. Just try to have fun and don't stress over losses.
As long as they are not hostage taking/time wasting(like unhookable spots)/gen rushing i really don't care about what they do and i'll play along, why not
I wouldn’t call it a bully squad, but when I first started playing this game in like 2019, I ran into a 3 man SWF. I refused to camp or tunnel because I wanted people to have fun, even though I was bad. They trash talked me in end game lobby after all 4 escaped. So I told them that I guess I’ll just facecamp from now on, and they said they didn’t care since it would be them. I ended up getting them again immediately afterwards and bet your ass I face camped and killed all 3. They still talked trash in end game lobby. I then got them AGAIN and did the same thing. They just left before typing after that game xD To this day one of my favorite moments in online gaming.
I can throw the stone, because i never used a bug or cheated in any way in a online game. I evem refuse to use the "meta" because to me thats basically using legal cheats in a lot of cases. The thing is called gamer pride and honor. I dont want that the thing that made me win was the "meta" the cheat or any other cheap Taktik, i want my win come from my Personal skill or my Personal Strategy. Maybe its because im a bit older, and come from a time where the internet was shit and people met to play lan parties back in the day. You just dont play like a son of a bitch when the guy is in the same hall as u. Also, whenever we had a cheater, the pc of that guy learned flying. Ah those good old days of honor and respect...i miss em.
Step 1: Make fun of community response about balance issues/glitches and subsequent exploit abusers Step 2: make video of gameplay with issues/glitches resolved because of said prior community response Step 3: downplay people who were part of community that disliked the problems you are no longer facing today Step 4: congratulations, you have figured out how to remove the mirrors from your car
That's my perspective too. You can let it annoy you or you can learn from it. I used to beg to get steamrolled as well cause I just wanted to learn how to counter it better.
I love those squads and would take them on anyday. Toxic or not they're the most fun you can have as Killer if you actually know how to play and counter their tricks.
Same, only time I hate is when they are bullying you but they have someone switching on and off and doing gens and when you’ve been bullied by 3 and they all still get out is when I’m mad 😂. Bully squads where 4 commit to you, i entertain it and have a good laugh cause in the end they all get slapped down.
The thing I dislike most about bully squads is the name itself tbh. I don't care how annoying certain playstyles may be, that has nothing to do with bullying. Getting shit on in a video game is not bullying. Calling anything that happens ingame "bullying" is a punch in the face to everyone who ever had to go through actual bullying.
bully squads usually aren't that bad, especially cause a lot of them suffer from actually being TOO altruistic to the point itll fuck them over. If you go against a good one and u aren't the best killer tho it fucking sucks.
Ironically enough, I did very good against a bully squad because of light born and mad grit, the funniest part is they all started yelling at me in an Xbox party about the dumbest things I’ve ever seen
@@karimsonsafehold9233 they weren’t scared they were just annoyed, so annoyed they looked into my Xbox account to see how many Xbox coins I have to say I’m sad for having that many, also I was using trapper on an indoors map and they went into so many traps
I really don't like the term bully squad. I prefer "agro squad" because that's what most of the time these players are doing. I remember my first """"bully""" squad was when I played Plague at Midwitch and they were saboing every hook I tried to do. I was a still a new killer and didn't know that I could put down survivors which led me to my defeat. I was frustrated to the point where it was too funny and lost it XD Bully squads help me wake up when I just had finished a boring game. More interactions between opponent(s), the better.
I love those type of games and also the comments made by your chat to tale the piss out of videos claiming: "P500 BEEN IN THE SPA FOR 5 HOURS SO SWEATY BULLY SQUAD ABSOLUTELY CRUSHED BEYOND ALL COMPARE VERSUS MY SADAKO".
I feel like your advice for trying to figure out why a survivor is acting a certain way should be applied across the board. Most of the "toxic" stuff that people complain about isn't inherently toxic, and DBD players are just the most sensitive babies in the gaming world.
Top tier DbD content. What's best, it teaches you to be less of an ass when playing this game. For my 37 y/o ass is exhausting playing after work, so please be nice while I try to do my lvl 4 times tier with Mike Myers, baby.
Where is the most common SWF: 3 MFs running Head On and a combination of either Vigil, Unbreakable, Flashbang, Residual Manifest, Off The Record, or Saboteur while one guy sits across the map and does gens and everytime you try going for him the other three just body block you
Killer main here, I play both now tho, anyone else want a game mode for old patches. Like a custom that lets you bring back old perks or killer load outs.
I love versing Bully squads because usually i'm the one who ends up bullying THEM. Once you know how to deal with those types of survivors you realize that they're weaker than average and can be easily exploited.
My first killer match was as Pig on old haddonfield back in 2019. They were good and I was too afraid to leave the hook I finally just got and I got bullied in chat for camping, I tried explaining it was my first match and they told me to uninstall 😂
Just had my first a few days ago. Was playing as a wraith and went against 2 head ons and 2 purple flashlights. Still managed to pull a 3k cause they didn't start trying to do gens until I had 6 hooks and realized the error of their ways
To me a bully squad is a team that is not interested in doing gens, having maybe one person doing them, while the other three harass the killer as much as possible.
I agree with your assessment; bully squads where they've all got the same prefix, and three dead hard decisive flashlight sabo folks mob me while number four with a giga toolbox and hyperfocus smashes gens just feels miserable, especially when I usually play some silly killer meme build. The same setup, but where all four are head on and flashbang ing me? It's a completely different vibe.
I started playing shortly after Pinhead was released and have ever only ever gotten 2 true bully squads. First one was right when Artist was released and I tried her out so I only had 1 yellow perk and not much experience on her nor killer. I did lose hard and it did not feel good ngl, I think it was obvious I was new overall but oh well. Second was a month ago? 4 man SWF streamer sent me to Garden. It was my first match of the night so I prepped to sweat until I realized all 4 were around me, immediate chilling out lol. Ngl they did get me with some tricks just because they brought perks I rarely see and used techs I rarely see in normal lobbies lol but it was fun trying to figure out how to outplay it. (Unbreakaboon, soul guard, unbreakable, flashies etc). I did wind up 4king but I had a lot of fun and it seems they did too. Streamer was really chill and he was happy I was a good sport. And from there I got sent to MMR Hell and kept getting survivors who had way more experience and I wished for the bully squad again lmao
My first was on my first game with Nurse (I had like on perk) the game went on forever and eventually I caught one of them in a corner and just went afk. I knew it was against the rules from watching dbd for a long time but it got them to leave so I was cool with it. Then I had a bully duo when I was new to hag which was not fun and one of the few times I’ve DC’d because I was not winning that match no way 😂
The new mmr is nice. When i want easy games i just do 4x escapes in a row. The problem is that higher mmr teams i will beat but i need to bring strongest tactics. When i go up against an easier team they get crushed amd i demotivate.
I went up against a bully squad and it was beautiful once I started to fake pickups to turnaround and get a Free hit, it kept working and I ended up slugging all four 🤣

I refer to survivors teabagging in the exit gate as the "survivor superiority syndrome".

being hit on hook is OK. it is called kebaping.

NEW KILLA WHALE VIDEO
Babe, wake up
My first and only bully squad was after Knight release.
It was average Wesker game in Badham against 4 Dwights. I went chasing to main basement, and was stuned by head on. I switch targets only to be head one'd again by the person I was chasing previously. And then again by the third Dwight. I soon realized that they ALL had head ons, so I quickly understood what tipe of games it is going to be. And after that I was pretty chill. They didn't care abt gens, and was just goofing around. And I played along. Tried to figure out how not to fall for head ons, how awoid three flashlight at once... In the end I killed all of them, but tald in the endgame chat that it was THE funniest game I've ever had.
And after that I realized, one of them was a TTW streamer. So I found their stream, and once again thanked them for such experience. They all was very chill dudes, and actually worried that killers would be offended by such gameplay, and that was not their goal. They wanted to have fun and run around with head ons, because, who even need to do this boring gens?
So yeah, it really was fun, and I glad that this game is saved in their twitch channel, so I could re-watch it as much as I want
I love bully squads. Constant chases, quickly creates deadzones, and don't have to worry much about map control. They are literally the most fun survivors to go against. Sadly, they are rare. You usually get solos where someone gives up, or you get sweat SWFs that gen rush and prerun to safe loops before you even get close.
Wayyy better then gen rush squads
Those must be baby bullies then. A real one will not allow any of that.
@@Timothee_Chalamet_CMBYNno, experienced bully squad are also constantly in chase and don't force you to worry about map control.
It is a bit odd if they don't bring a map offering to a map with good window loops though
@@lyebatenkaitosofgluttony2452They have to make sure you don't stop playing or DC instantly, SWF = 100% winrate in normal circumstances, playing seriously isn't encouraged.
Hey killa, just wanted to say that you're one of the best dbd content creators out there right now, and I don't mean that lightly. I don't exactly see alot of small creators that legitimately make me feel like they are criminally underrated, your satirical "guide" videos are insanely funny and based, especially the dbd content creator one, just leaving this comment to let you know that your content is appreciated my man, and take your time to pump out quality stuff like this.
That's true. This channel is like a fresh air. I wish all people have the same attitude about the game. If you like small creators, you can also check out Twoknee. He is fun.
Thanks for saying this cause, he genuinely is extremely underrated
Watch his bubba vid if you havent literally one of the best pieces of content this site has ever seen
Hes got funny vids but damn yall don’t need to meat ride a dude you don’t even know💀
I don't remember my first encounter but i do remember my most memorable one, my way of recognizing a bully squad is when they say forget the objective and just want to make you miserable. 3 of them cycled head on stuns and flashlight saves with breakout and sabo on Lery's on my Bing Bong while Bill was the only one who bothered to do gens but it is what it is, i could've played better regardless but at least it make them somewhat predictable
This type of squad is the most common, with some replacing the Sabo with Vigil or Flashbang. I have faced three of them in a row yesterday and it was miserable.
I usually beat em with franklin starstruck
@@karimsonsafehold9233 are you the black, man???
boo hoo somebody has fun. just also have fun. laugh with them. i assure you they are just in a call with friends laughing and having fun playing a game.
@@wyatt5123all fun in games until they tell you to off yourself
One of my all time favorite matches was me playing against Junebug a pretty great dude who likes to play in "bully squads" and have a blast, it was so much fun as they were playing on Dead Dawg and were tryna use the lockers to their advantage but I was aware of what they were planning and it was such a fun back and forth, sadly I don't have the vod saved but it was amazing, just gotta go with the flow when you meet these squads and have a blast too
There is a difference between Bully Squad and people just goofing around with friends. Usually, the biggest factor of "fun" is how much the killer is ready to mix with them. Sure, you can play optimally and stomp them out in 5 mins, or you can goof around and go for fun risky stuff and still "win" at the end. I know that nothing obligates you to enter their state of mind, but most bully squads aren't "bully" squads.
Survivor after a game "GG WP,dudes"
Killer content creators "Is this TOXIC SWF?"
Yeah, because when i play bubba, Camp a guy woth insidious in the badement and end up with 2 or 3 kills and i write gg i really mean it, it wasnt just to piss them off aditionally, right?
@@RealEvilLordExdeath You have a point
@@RealEvilLordExdeath strong bubba main
I really like your mindset playing dbd :) this video and the ‘how to enjoy killer’ series are great examples of just enjoying a game without obsessing over all the little things
Badham and Cowshed definitely turn any squad into bullies
Damn people having fun and not playing the game like their lives depends on it? 😂 Feels like pre SBMM period, nice vide though
This video left me confused.. I'm a killer main but I didn't see anything "toxic" about both groups of survivors. First group didn't do anything at all except Cheryl tbagging two times, but it was only to buy time for the team, you said it yourself. Plus (I'm sorry but it's true) you played that match very bad and map was survivor-sided so they felt confident. I'm not even sure they were SWF. In second match nothing was toxic as well. They were probably just SWF who were too altruistic and enjoyed being chased more than doing gens. Again, no tbagging, no clicking, no toxicity. That Feng even gave you a kill and Yun-Jin was memeing in the end. I wish bully squads I play against are the same level of toxicity.
Well that was kind of my point... with a different attitude on my part, plus some creative editing, anything can look like a bully squad when it really isn't, which I think a lot of channels do. Sorry if I didn't make that clearer
@@KillaWhale ah, yes, I guess I didn't understand it well. I think the same implies to the killer side. Some players really think that if the killer in the endgame facecamps a hooked survivor who is next to the open gates, it's toxic. Like, where should he go? I had some teammates accusing killers of it.
You know, the worst part is that the same people watch popular content creators, making videos like "stunning killer 50 times in one game" when the squad is running Head on somewhere on Midwich, and think it's absolutely fine. The bigotry in this game is incredible.
Love you content, keep going 😍
@Мария Крутикова Community just has rocks for brains. So many people are blatantly biased in their judgements it's insane.
For example everyone shits on Knight for getting skilless hits for free but i don't see anyone saying the same for Stealth killers whose entire point is getting hits for free with little counterplay.
This was a super good perspective on "bully squads". I really enjoyed the video. I think my first one was an early Nemesis game back in December 2021 and at least two of them had head on and cycled through it as I chased. I was pretty new so didn't get what was happening but got a little annoyed as I believe that was that moment when you pick up a new killer and the game goes "oh you seem to know what you're doing now so here's better survivors"
I remember when i was first bullied a Bully Squad
I was playing huntress and i was very new too killer and it was clear they knew
It was hell as i never knew people could do this and by the end i felt so discouraged too play
Then i made an Anti Bully Squad build and it came up a few times
This was back when bully sqauds were actually able to effectively bully mind you
Me stopping whatever I was doing because I needed this right now🙏
Then your car Fell of the road and crashed and burned
@@RealEvilLordExdeath true
I don't care about bully squads honestly after the locker exploit got removed. It really is just a bunch of goofing about now. Of course badham basement with all sorts of wiglle/recover perks is still terrible, but that's really it.
1:07 teabagging and clicking can be a good strat? it’s sad man, I thought you would be a really fun guy to watch play dbd since I saw your latest twins vid. Guess not anymore, sorry
Show me where those mean survivors hurt you son
rip kiwispit18 so sad we’ve lost a legend
@@swagawas 🫡
Some of my most fun matches I've had have been against "bully squads".
If people are just chilling, it's fun even if you happen to be on the losing side.
Oh man i wish you had a podcast or
a stream where you just talk, i love listening to podcasts while playing.
Yeah, survivor Mains can do that, Killer Mains need to hear the in game Sounds.
Not inbalanced at all.
@@RealEvilLordExdeathbro what you on about
@@peterparker0999 isnt it funny, how they added this heart thingy so people that cant hear can habe a visible Terror radius, how they added Symbols on the hud so u always know what the other survivors do, and u can just ad some perks to Show u the aura of the other guys or the Killer.
As a survivor u can Listen to Musik because u have so much crutches that u dont need the ingame Sound.
But if u play Killer, u are dependend on the Sound of survivors being injured and Gens being done.
No visible help like the heart on the survivor side. If u dont hear good, u have to Check for All Gens to see if someone is there, if aomeone is injured u will not hear his moanings.
Yet again BHVR made the game more survivor sided and no one can complain or else he is against accessability and then one would be a Monster.
@@RealEvilLordExdeath @russischbrot you can listen to music because survivor and killer are different roles. It is not the job of survivors to find killers, thus the game does not need players to rely on audio cues, which is somewhat more the case for killer. As a survivor you also have to rely on your team and learn to work with them something the killer does not need to do since he is alone. Is that unfair that survivors have to learn something the killer doesn't need to? No because both roles are different.
Also who says you can't listing to music as killer? It is still possible and if you really need to you can still use perks like tinkerer, discordance, any aura read,... to give none audio cues. Is it harder? Yeah sure but still manageable.
The symbols to the HUD exist because solo queue is a thing and by giving more information to solo players they can more easily adjust survivors without only hurting solo queue and leaving SWFs with no problems (exp healing nerf). As killer you can also put on aura reading perks so I don't get why complain about that but sure whatever.
You can't complain about accessibility features because they only exist to help people who need it. And before you start crying more, I do think killers also need more accessibility features even if it makes it harder for survivors such as FOV slider etc, and I hope BHVR adds that sooner than later.
Get out of your victim role that "Killer is so hard and unfair and survivors have it so easy" and start playing the game
@@peterparker0999 good, because my hearing and seeing is bad, so survivors need to be in a bright colour at all time and if they are hurt their moaning must be showen by Killer Instinkt as long as they arent healed.
Only then the game is truely accessable, because thats truly more important then to make the game Balanced.
I wonder when they will finaly make every Boss in elden ring a oneshot, so its finaly accessable to everyone
Nerfing flashlight clicking was worse than Pearl Harbor.
Greetings. I enjoy your guides man, as new killer, tbh it does feel pretty easy. I am only saying that cause I feel that in the beginning, since most survs are new, the mistakes are multiplied, and they just run into me, or save as soon as I hook. But I got a feeling as I climb and try to learn, the skill will increase for all of them, meaning it truly feels like a tough 1/4. Am I wrong?
Best tip for new players in dbd is to quit this game before its too late
@@beh256 nah, too late, im hooked
It gets harder after a while as you'll encounter more seasoned survs who are actually playing in groups. And better.
Best advice is to remember it's a casual game, and behind a "bully" team or a SWF gang, there's likely a bunch of kids doing their crap for kicks.
DbD IMO truly shine at mid skill level, where everyone generally knows what they're doing but aren't sweaty about winning.
@@hibachimk240 exactly my point 👍
Please keep in mind that the game isn't fair! Alot of players lose and feel frustrated at either themselves or the other players. No need for that most of the time.
The game is simply unfair and rng based. If you get a shit map as a bad killer, you WILL lose badly, so no need to get pissy over it. Just try to have fun and don't stress over losses.
My first bully squad was my first Killer match. Sabo squad. Every hook on the map, gone.
I stopped playing for literal years.
As long as they are not hostage taking/time wasting(like unhookable spots)/gen rushing i really don't care about what they do and i'll play along, why not
I wouldn’t call it a bully squad, but when I first started playing this game in like 2019, I ran into a 3 man SWF. I refused to camp or tunnel because I wanted people to have fun, even though I was bad. They trash talked me in end game lobby after all 4 escaped. So I told them that I guess I’ll just facecamp from now on, and they said they didn’t care since it would be them.
I ended up getting them again immediately afterwards and bet your ass I face camped and killed all 3. They still talked trash in end game lobby. I then got them AGAIN and did the same thing. They just left before typing after that game xD
To this day one of my favorite moments in online gaming.
I can throw the stone, because i never used a bug or cheated in any way in a online game.
I evem refuse to use the "meta" because to me thats basically using legal cheats in a lot of cases.
The thing is called gamer pride and honor. I dont want that the thing that made me win was the "meta" the cheat or any other cheap Taktik, i want my win come from my Personal skill or my Personal Strategy.
Maybe its because im a bit older, and come from a time where the internet was shit and people met to play lan parties back in the day. You just dont play like a son of a bitch when the guy is in the same hall as u.
Also, whenever we had a cheater, the pc of that guy learned flying.
Ah those good old days of honor and respect...i miss em.
Step 1: Make fun of community response about balance issues/glitches and subsequent exploit abusers
Step 2: make video of gameplay with issues/glitches resolved because of said prior community response
Step 3: downplay people who were part of community that disliked the problems you are no longer facing today
Step 4: congratulations, you have figured out how to remove the mirrors from your car
Bro. I could not agree more. I'm so sick of those vids that pretend they're playing a mean-spirited bully squad when it's just a team vibing
Tbh I really like squads who don’t do gens just torment the killer, gives me more xp and knowledge on how to avoid their plays
That's my perspective too. You can let it annoy you or you can learn from it. I used to beg to get steamrolled as well cause I just wanted to learn how to counter it better.
I love those squads and would take them on anyday. Toxic or not they're the most fun you can have as Killer if you actually know how to play and counter their tricks.
Same, only time I hate is when they are bullying you but they have someone switching on and off and doing gens and when you’ve been bullied by 3 and they all still get out is when I’m mad 😂. Bully squads where 4 commit to you, i entertain it and have a good laugh cause in the end they all get slapped down.
The thing I dislike most about bully squads is the name itself tbh. I don't care how annoying certain playstyles may be, that has nothing to do with bullying. Getting shit on in a video game is not bullying. Calling anything that happens ingame "bullying" is a punch in the face to everyone who ever had to go through actual bullying.
bully squads usually aren't that bad, especially cause a lot of them suffer from actually being TOO altruistic to the point itll fuck them over. If you go against a good one and u aren't the best killer tho it fucking sucks.
2021, match as trapper, everyone with flashlights. I tried my best and haven't tunneled but they were bulling me
I love deadplays and all but, his videos where some p100’s literally just want to play the game he says they need to be stopped, like why ?
Ironically enough, I did very good against a bully squad because of light born and mad grit, the funniest part is they all started yelling at me in an Xbox party about the dumbest things I’ve ever seen
They got scared
@@karimsonsafehold9233 they weren’t scared they were just annoyed, so annoyed they looked into my Xbox account to see how many Xbox coins I have to say I’m sad for having that many, also I was using trapper on an indoors map and they went into so many traps
babe wake up. new killa whale video just dropped
Rewatch this a year later, I noticed how nice the pinhead feels while comparing to the current one
I think you are comfused about Monstrous shrine.
You need to go away for it to work.
You'll never guess what's in the recommendations below this.
I cringe every time D3AD releases another "toxic bully squad" video and its just 4 survivors playing normally.
Every vid of his is that lol
"You are rarted" has got to be one of the funniest things I have ever seen
It's not even my birthday and we got a new KW vid 🥹🥹
can someone tell me the outro song? I swear i heard it before.
I really don't like the term bully squad. I prefer "agro squad" because that's what most of the time these players are doing. I remember my first """"bully""" squad was when I played Plague at Midwitch and they were saboing every hook I tried to do. I was a still a new killer and didn't know that I could put down survivors which led me to my defeat. I was frustrated to the point where it was too funny and lost it XD
Bully squads help me wake up when I just had finished a boring game.
More interactions between opponent(s), the better.
Always bright my day when killerwhale uploads
I kinda miss the flashlight clickies, not gonna lie
Jingle Dwight is back in season boys
Me as huntress in early 2018
Bro what did travis do to you ;-;
I love those type of games and also the comments made by your chat to tale the piss out of videos claiming: "P500 BEEN IN THE SPA FOR 5 HOURS SO SWEATY BULLY SQUAD ABSOLUTELY CRUSHED BEYOND ALL COMPARE VERSUS MY SADAKO".
I feel like your advice for trying to figure out why a survivor is acting a certain way should be applied across the board. Most of the "toxic" stuff that people complain about isn't inherently toxic, and DBD players are just the most sensitive babies in the gaming world.
Top tier DbD content. What's best, it teaches you to be less of an ass when playing this game. For my 37 y/o ass is exhausting playing after work, so please be nice while I try to do my lvl 4 times tier with Mike Myers, baby.
Where is the most common SWF: 3 MFs running Head On and a combination of either Vigil, Unbreakable, Flashbang, Residual Manifest, Off The Record, or Saboteur while one guy sits across the map and does gens and everytime you try going for him the other three just body block you
Wait you got upset against a Dwight Christmas SWF? I would Never
Killer main here, I play both now tho, anyone else want a game mode for old patches. Like a custom that lets you bring back old perks or killer load outs.
I love versing Bully squads because usually i'm the one who ends up bullying THEM. Once you know how to deal with those types of survivors you realize that they're weaker than average and can be easily exploited.
My first killer match was as Pig on old haddonfield back in 2019. They were good and I was too afraid to leave the hook I finally just got and I got bullied in chat for camping, I tried explaining it was my first match and they told me to uninstall 😂
what the dead hard
Just had my first a few days ago. Was playing as a wraith and went against 2 head ons and 2 purple flashlights. Still managed to pull a 3k cause they didn't start trying to do gens until I had 6 hooks and realized the error of their ways
I came
Rarted 😡🤬😠
Starstruck and Plaything? That's an.... interesting... combo to have.
A pre-drop, comp corner, gen rush squad ruins my game more than a bunch of friends with head on going for outrageous plays.
Slug em all
To me a bully squad is a team that is not interested in doing gens, having maybe one person doing them, while the other three harass the killer as much as possible.
this video reminds me so much of the "please not the double doors please not the railing abuse" video
Nice video dude, after a while you end up noticing theyre just free 4ks
I remember getting one of those after the most boring game of hide and seek.
the bully squad vids saved me from getting bullied by a squad
Watching this makes me so grateful for the dead hard nerf good lord
I agree with your assessment; bully squads where they've all got the same prefix, and three dead hard decisive flashlight sabo folks mob me while number four with a giga toolbox and hyperfocus smashes gens just feels miserable, especially when I usually play some silly killer meme build. The same setup, but where all four are head on and flashbang ing me? It's a completely different vibe.
If u have casual builds, let 4x escape in a row to get casual games. Dont kill more than 3 or 2
I started playing shortly after Pinhead was released and have ever only ever gotten 2 true bully squads. First one was right when Artist was released and I tried her out so I only had 1 yellow perk and not much experience on her nor killer. I did lose hard and it did not feel good ngl, I think it was obvious I was new overall but oh well.
Second was a month ago? 4 man SWF streamer sent me to Garden. It was my first match of the night so I prepped to sweat until I realized all 4 were around me, immediate chilling out lol. Ngl they did get me with some tricks just because they brought perks I rarely see and used techs I rarely see in normal lobbies lol but it was fun trying to figure out how to outplay it. (Unbreakaboon, soul guard, unbreakable, flashies etc). I did wind up 4king but I had a lot of fun and it seems they did too. Streamer was really chill and he was happy I was a good sport. And from there I got sent to MMR Hell and kept getting survivors who had way more experience and I wished for the bully squad again lmao
The most clever i ever saw was soul guard and for the people. 2 man duo. The soul giard body blocks with the endurance from another perk too.
how old is this vid? they have old dead hard and DS

@@KillaWhale bro u got dead hard nerfed😥, now all i see is 99 sprint burst demons
My first was on my first game with Nurse (I had like on perk) the game went on forever and eventually I caught one of them in a corner and just went afk.
I knew it was against the rules from watching dbd for a long time but it got them to leave so I was cool with it.
Then I had a bully duo when I was new to hag which was not fun and one of the few times I’ve DC’d because I was not winning that match no way 😂
The new mmr is nice. When i want easy games i just do 4x escapes in a row. The problem is that higher mmr teams i will beat but i need to bring strongest tactics. When i go up against an easier team they get crushed amd i demotivate.
Seeing old Dead Hard again puts me in fight or flight mode
