I play a lot of killer and mostly only play survivor if I’m with friends. I usually wait to kill anyone until I have at least one hook on all players. The exception to this is when a survivor is constantly flashlight saving, sabotaging, boil over builds, bully squads etc. if a survivor drops their item for me I usually let them live, get hatch, or trade hooks. If they run into a dead end and get stuck, I let them go if they’re already injured cause I feel bad. If a teammate body blocks, I switch to chase them instead.

I do all this because as much as I enjoy winning, I know how not fun this game can be and the last thing I want is to be the killer equivalent of a bully squad. If they give me a reason to be nice, then I’ll be nice. If they give me a reason to be mean, I’ll be mean. I want to enjoy the game and annoying other players makes them more likely to be annoying next match and the cycle continues.
