Why does body block exits?

I mean in it’s current form it’s funny, that two skinny girls can stop Oni to move whereever he wants. I would agree with protection hit, but blocking killer movement is kinda weird for me.

    Because it's a video game and mechanics like that can be enjoyable.

    Because gameplay requires that. Just like you can not break survivor's legs to stop them from moving.

    Not a bad idea 😏

    It's a game mechanic that is encouraged by the devs with perks like Mettle of Man and Mad Grit. Gameplay will always take priority over realism.

    I’m talking about in case of chase, like when 3 survivors stand in your way so you can’t go a certain direction and they are able to almost close your path . When you are carrying someone it makes sense. But extending loop or blocking loop at end game doesn’t make sense for me.

    A person throwing on some gauze and being healed from having a giant hook jammed through their shoulder (multiple times pending at what point it is in the game) is also kind of shady logic too.

    Video games don't always obey real life rules.

    You can block them in corner and run hag with scarred hand too. If you don't know what that is it provide a clone that bodyblock for you.

    Most video games require some level of "suspense of disbelief" to appreciate the game. Like, in most RPGs where you have an inventory and items/weight, the characters can usually fit obscenely large things into their pockets, or carry inhuman amounts of weight. Some things just exist like that because it makes sense for the game. In DbD I would say collision between survivors and killers can lead to some pretty close calls between either an escape or a down/hook.
