Is hiding inside the hanging body of a teammate a possible mechanic/fair use?
Today i saw someone using the body of his teammate to evade all my hits and stayed there for a LONG time. Every hit landed on the body of the teammate who was slowly dying.
Is this a mechanic i didn't knew? They can be untouchable inside the hang body of their teammates?
I won't post the username, but i was recording (since i do YT videos) and it surprises me when i saw it everytime. Is this allowed? This mechanic is a fair play/non-banneable or is another of that annoying bugs as the old ruin exploit?
Not a cry, a fair question. If this is a fair mechanic, i was playing wrong this game as a survivor for sure

No, they're not untouchable when doing the "hook tech". The hook tech, which is what it's commonly referred to, is when a Survivor gets under the hook right when another Survivor is being brought and hooked on said hook. The end result allows the other Survivor to stay under them and gain a chance to either get the Killer to hit the hooked Survivor (which allows the "unhooker" to unhook that Survivor and get a free hit to get chased) or the Killer can go side by side at the hook and hit the Survivor under that hook.
It's best you not release their names, as this tech is very well known already among the forms and the DBD community. As for "is this bannable?" no, it's not. The tech itself isn't even good in my opinion, since you can just sit there and let the hooked Survivor die or wait until the Survivor under them goes for the rescue (which you just simply hit them once while unhooking and again to down them).
Here's how you can mind-game this tech
Once the Survivor does this hook tech, you can mind-game it by moving to the right and left sides of the hook, by doing this the Survivor under the hooked Survivor is forced to move to avoid having their body stick out and getting hit. If you do this a few times, you can double back on one side and get a free hit on them, if it fails you can just slug the unhooked Survivor, which I wouldn't since Survivors that do this tech have Borrowed Time, or you can just hit them after the hit cool-down and than chase and down the unhooker, simple as that.
Also, my explanation might be confusing so i'll explain it a bit more. When I say "move to the right or left of the hook and than double back on one side" I mean go to the left side of the hook, or where the Survivor that's under the hooked Survivors body is poking out, and than keep forcing them to move to the opposite side to avoid being hit, after you do this, you can do something like left, right, left, right, left for a second, than instantly back to right to hit them.

I learned to hit the survivor thats trying that. Now i laugh for the free hit.
But they use to do that so they can unhook the survivor while the killer is on the cooldown from the landed attack on the hooked one. This one just hidding there watching the hooked one being hit was not... a good teammate. LOL

I can still hit them from behide if they stay there, but many said it's a bug and they're abusing it

Good to know. I didn't even knew that was possible as a survivor with +250 hours. So they're not totally hidden, there's an small piece of Hitbox left from the sides...

I personally doubt it's a bug or exploit, it's like the hay-baler tech, it has been stated that it's allowed and Killers won't be banned if they do it. I feel the same scenario is applied here, but it hasn't really been talked about yet.
Whether it is an exploit, a bug, etc, that's unknown. It hasn't shown itself in the past, so one can only assume it's a recent discovery OR something that's caused by a past patch.

Yeah, but it requires a precise hit and a small bit of mind-gaming to pull off.
That, or you can just determine where that small bit of hitbox is and just yolo swing at it. Either way, it's in-general a waste of time unless the Killer is tricked into hitting the unhooked Survivor with BT on, which just gives the unhooker a 100% chance to escape with no damage applied. But if you hit the hooked Survivor and than hit the unhooker afterwards, you can chase them and just down them at a nearby loop.
It's sort of useful, but not against Killers that're aware of the tech by now.

It's all fair game. As long as survivors do it, anyway. If killers are ever to do something like that, you can be sure the banhammer will be just around the corner.

I don't know where a video is, but if you lunge at the right position at the stacked hay (beside the platform that leads up to the hay baler) than you can lunge yourself onto the hay, go around the loop, and walk right onto the other-side of the window that most Survivors use on that loop.
The closest video I could find is this
You can lunge around that side of the harvester like how the oni sprinter onto it, it requires a huge burst of speed to do though. This is why Killers lunge at this part of the harvester, it gives them just enough speed to lunge onto the hay bales at the harvester and loop around to the other side of the window as seen in this video.
This tech is called the "Hay Baler Tech" but it's more commonly known as the Harvester Tech.
