Food for Thought...
If you're mad at another player for "winning" the game by certain means, perhaps you should think of better ways to counter those strategies.

Yes, but, that assumes your teammates also know of and use said strategies.
If they're actually using an effective strategy that doesn't rely on mediocre players being their opponents (and in the case is specifically survivors, not actual genrushing), then sure.
However, if a killer brings in Knockout/Infectious Fright after dodging a bunch of SWF lobbies, then there's clearly a problem.
There are a lot of issues that this game has that simply cannot be adapted to, or suffer post-trial counterplay such as specific perks, items, killers or add-ons "countering" it. For example, Calm Spirit Vs Doctor. That doesn't necessarily mean it's the fualt of the player, although in the examples of legitimate gen rushing or solo-preying it very much so is, but no matter what they are genuine issues that need to be addressed.
Especially since, if the Devs keep bandaiding poor base-kit gameplay with perks, people will be shoehorned into using the perks that counter the likeliest things their opponents will bring and therefore be utterly demolished by anything off-meta... Oh, wait, that's already the case.
I mean, I wouldn't say mad, I just think it is sus to offer 4 cakes and then stealthy gen rush and dip with barely any points. It is really more their loss than mine as you see, the one cake that was missing was mine, and that is because I ain't trust these cats. I get like 420% stacks on top of my barbecue. Even my 10k is dipped in gold, fam. So I should really be thanking them.
What does frustrate me slightly is hatch escapes, but how can you counter RNG? Over time, I will slam that pity door shut just as many times as Daphne from the Scooby Gang happens upon it.
You are entirely right.
But here is my unpopular opinion.
For me, the bigger problem with that is:
If you're mad at another player for "winning" the game a certain means, perhaps review your mentality, because in an online pvp game, your opponent shouldn't care about what the other side want them not to do as, annoying as it may be.
As comparison, it's like a 10 year old in a shooter game complaining that they lost because the opponent use x or y weapon, it's just dumb.
While you are allowed to be annoyed, if you are so angry about it that you bring it up in the end game chat, you are just a whinny baby that shouldn't play pvp game. If there exist a scenario in which you can lose in a certain way, you need to expect that one day you will lose that way.
But with that said, i totally understand getting angry with some strategy (hard tunneling and facecamping in my case), but i just put up with it because there isn't anything wrong with what they have done.
And to all the bully squad out there, don't you dare complain if the killer manages to kill some of you. You tried to bully him/her and you got bullied back, there is nothing wrong with that. Hell, i will even say that you deserve to be bullied by said killer.
