It doesn’t bother me personally but more so about questioning the decision.
I had 2 people do it on different servers. When I was about to charge in and kill them, they k out but when I actually kill them by lets say nader or fragger, they rage.
Anyone had this experience before?
They k out because they don’t want to get longspawned and wait for another 24 seconds.
If you kill them while jumping like a stupid human being spamming your grenade launcher and somehow getting the kill, this player, who clearly understands the underlying mechanics of this game, gets quite annoyed.
I do it to deny them the finish xp sometimes. Or just to troll them. You wouldn’t believe how many players sit there knifing a dead body before they realize I k’d out. Lol
I do the same. If I’m down and realise someone’s coming to finish me, I’ll most likely tap out so they waste their time running over to me, in a hope it’ll be annoying.

They’d actually waste more time if you’d LET them finish you. Be useful to your team.

I haven’t ever seen anyone do this.
And why would a player want to tap out anyways? It’s really not worth it, considering you might make it to safety and get a medkit, die and get quickly revived, etc. Plus it just seems rude.
On the other hand, I do sometimes tap out before someone can melee finish me. Mostly just as a troll, since the 40 XP of killing a squishy merc like the ones I main aren’t really that much. But I have to wait until they actually start to knife me so they still go through the animation x3

Please, never enter ranked.
I usually never press k when I am down. it wastes my opponents time and ammo to kill me. plus it gives people exp. Even my opponents need exp. 
When i’m sick of screaming medic for 5 mins and in last 30 seconds they try to revive me, nope fuck you , been ignored all match no cheap xp for you now.

I’m well aware of this in most cases. If someone’s at my feet while I tap out, I don’t think it’ll make much difference to my team while it might be an annoyance for the opponent.
I’m more annoyed when I run to revive my teammates and they tap out right before I get to them. That really makes me boil
One of the reasons why I refuse to play medic unless we’re getting/about to get stomped
@els I never do it unless I’m 100% sure opponents are coming to finish me. I rarely if ever tap out, but sometimes I do it just to irritate my opponets, which it probably doesn’t do. But it can have uses, to act as bait for people to come finish you.
it’s more annoying if your a medic and you run to revive a team member who has been calling ‘medic medic medic’ and the arse taps out and then you die.
Personally i try and get to a fallen team mate within 2 shouts of ‘medic’
I also do it because I like trolling.
But I really think SD should patch it so they still get the finish xp. It’s kinda unfair, they clearly deserve the xp. And also you deserve the xp if you bait Nader into using Martydrom
I laugh at it. Somebody is so upset on the internet that they have to tap out to try and “win” even a little something over you after they have lost the actual fight. And I love it when they K out as a Sparks revive comes in and gets them before I get there. People who tap out like that a lot of times are hurting their team since people have to use extra bullets for a gib or sometimes get out of position for a knife and sometimes they could have been revived. Not tapping out can influence fights which might lead to a win.
So it’s not the best idea in the world to tap out.
I usually tap out at this point because 9 times out of 10 I’ll get longspawned by the Sparks reviving me due to how long the gib window is.
