Why do people find it necessary to treat new players like garbage?
Seriously, if you get matched with a rank 17-20 as a rank 10 and then insult them for playing poorly, why? What did they do to deserve that? Why not just give them helpful advice?

Toxic people will be toxic people.
All we can do is be the bigger person.
Majority of the playerbase are nice people, maybe a bit too competitive but if you get into the higher ranks its only natural your somewhat competitive. What i see is the vocal minority that out shines the silent majority so it just seems like a lot of people are toxic.
That being said if you as a rank 10 or 1 want to play a high level game and see a rank 20 failing each skill check i can see how it might get irritating. But thats on the part of match making, not the rank 20.

It's because some players like to get a rise in others... they like the reaction and they like to ruin others experience to benefit their own. It could be because they're bored, they actively seek to ruin other peoples experience, or they're just in-general "toxic."
These players are in the minority now of the community (which is good...) and they still sometimes come out to give negative feedback like on the forums, or even in game against nooby/pro players. Some players also actively go to the lower ranks to do this...
It's a cruel outlook on how to treat your fellow Survivor/Player, and it's kind of sad tbh.
Yeah... I'll be honest this was mostly a frustrated rant. At the time of writing I'd had multiple games in a row where my teammates did nothing but insult the low rank killer we got for not being good at the game, for being loopable, for not finding people thanks to their ability to bully them just after rank reset. That got to me because a lot of these new players were genuinely distressed by this behavior and I'd really not like to lose potential members of the community just because some people can only have fun by stomping on others.
Like It's ridiculous how many players we can lose because of this behavior.
Some people are just cruel. That's just how it is when people play games and face some people that're better than them.
If I faced that Killer, i'd probably suggest what he did wrong and how to improve if he was interested. Otherwise, some people would rather just berate them
It's because gatekeeping is the new cool thing.
There is no excuse for facecamping.
