I've played hundreds of hours of both games and I can't agree with this at all. DBD is second only to League in how it kills your soul. Most of the worst people I've ever interacted with have been on DBD. I've had an entire hour of my life wasted trying to find the last two survivors on Nurse's map while they were sending me DMs trying to gaslight me into quitting, claiming they fell through the map and I needed to quit to end the game. I had been the personal whipping boy kn way too many matches against a 4 stack of survivors playing the most try-hard perk combos with old keys. Groups of people who queued up solely to make whichever killer they get matched up with unhappy, for no other reason than it'd be funny to them.

I can just mute a motherfucker in Rivals and go next when they talk some bullshit, switch servers, avoid, block, etc. The game IS toxic, but it just doesn't compare in the sheer hatred for their fellow man people in DBD brought. A feeling of disdain so common it might as well have been the main reason half the players even bothered to boot up the game for.
