Killers That Abuse Hooked Survivors Should Be Penalized
I just don't understand why they do this? Are they frustrated with their lives so they come on the game because they have control over it? Or they're on a losing streak? Or got owned in SWF? All 3? Either way, there's no excuse for it. Hitting hooked survivors should result in a 2 minute cool down of swinging their weapon. Just hook the survivor and camp, or move on. No need for the abuse.

I mean it's the same as a survivor taunting a killer. Except in this case survivors can definitely time it right to rescue the hooked person.

I dont like that too
But I see it equally to tbag, flash clicking at the gates: you do something to taunt the loser. And Survivors do that alot more than Killers hitting hooked survivors.

Survivors that teabag at the exits should be penalized. See how that works? Like everyone will tell you on these forums just deal with it just like how killers deal with teabagging.

This has to be the most pathetic complaint I have ever seen. Abuse? LOL. As if it actually hurts you? Grow up. Its a violent horror game.
16 -
I agree with you and the other posters that T-bagging survivors should be punished too. Because most of them happen at Endgame, I figure that they'll have to get creative with a solution. But having the entity block the gates on them is not a bad place to start.

And here we have the hook abuser commenting. Bravo, friend.

Technically they do get punished by losing the game and having some emblem points deducted. Yes, the survivor on the hook will have a bad game, and if it does happen consistently that the Killer is specifically targeting one user in particular (trying to hold their game hostage and purposely trying to find their lobby to ruin their experience) it can be report-able. But if the killer is just doing it because one survivor looped them well, then you should see it as a compliment and keep your mindset for the next game.
Unfortunately, to some people this is redemption in their eyes. Small acts like this, or teabagging really only affect you as much as you let it. At the end of the day, they are really only pressing the same button on a keyboard. :)

damn they tuned on you fast

Oh yeah. I do it. It keeps me busy while Im face camping someone. And it obviously upsets the survivors, so thats just an added bonus.
7 -
I hear what you're saying, but no one should have to tiptoe with their gameplay so they don't get beat on the hook. If camping is strategy and part of the game, then so is looping. A survivor shouldn't have to feel like if they loop then they're going to get hook abused, just saying. Second, why would a killer waste time beating a hooked survivor when there are others doing gens. They're so obsessed with it that the survivors will have an easy escape. Then those same killers will complain that they were gen rushed. I don't like campers, but it's their strategy. There's nothing strategic about abusing hooked survivors.

This and this!!! Whenever killers complain about teabagging I hear, “you’re getting mad about someone hitting a button,” but when a killer does something that literally wasted their own time and doesn’t hurt the survivors chance of winning the butthurt comes out

Did you not see my response to those posts?
1 -
You didn't have to explain, your earlier post said enough. You don't have much joy if you get off on abusing hooked survivors. And save trying to convince me that you do, I won't believe you.
1 -
This community makes me realize at the age of 26, I'm too old for video games now. I mean complaining about a smack on the hook?
6 -
Play with barbies, man. It's a game about killers , came on the main attraction is blood and screams.
1 -
Personally, I think all killers should have dab emotes that they do whenever they try to swing at a hook. Also if they're camping. And if they're undetectable.
And in a chase.
And maybe have four killers in a row doing it.
What? It could happen!
0 -
So everyone who disagrees and tells you to toughen up is a hook abuser? Really? That makes you look bad.
4 -
It's a method of communication. I'll be honest, I've done it, like the other day when a survivor ran into a far corner on the bottom level of Gideon and every time I would down them I couldn't get them to a hook before they wiggled free. After this happens a couple of times I just go after someone else, but when I did have a chance to hook that person later I slapped them a few times on hook to show my aggravation.

Hitting a hooked survivor makes them scream.
There's a thing on the Rift that you have to make 20 survivors scream and yes, hitting a survivor on the hook counts.
4 -
Just suck it up and let it go. I know it's frustrating, but remain unbothered by it. People are always going to do it, just as survivors will always tbag or point at killers. It's the way the world is. It's not truly doing any harm, just let it go.

I roll my eyes at teabaggers, whether I'm playing killer or survivor. It's just rude.
I would LOVE to see the Entity grab them by the ankles for like 20 seconds for doing it. I would cackle as I run by them in a survivor skin.
Now killers that beat hooked survivors... that is one reason I play my killer nice. I freaking hate it getting beaten while I'm hooked. Like shoo go away. In game terms you are destroying the hope that the Entity feeds upon standing there desecrating its meal. It would be great if the Entity penalised the Killer or just released the Survivor to run. Up goes the hope to escape, which can be crushed when hooked for the 2nd or 3rd time.

Neuter killers ability to attack for two minutes for performing an empty action that wastes their own precious time. Seems totally fine and unabusable 🤣
7 -
Survivors who teabag more than two times in quick succession should be penalized by being unable to run for two minutes.
4 -
This made me laugh why should survivors be penalized for that?. I equally play on both sides and this is just pure nonsense.
1 -
He’s just mocking the OP
4 -
😂😂😂😂 i get tbagged and flashlightd clicked at me, pointed at and exit gate camped EVERY SINGLE GAME and youre mad some killer gave you a love tap? Chill dude, its not that bad
4 -
I'm guessing someone up there in this thread has never taken a swing at someone barreling into unhook and had it "not auto aim" into the guy on the hook.
3 -
So is the OPs suggestion.
4 -
I think hitting a hooked survivor is rude and completely unnecessary, but so is teabagging and waiting at the exit gate just to run out at the a last second. None of these things is detrimental to the actual game. I do not think anything that does not actually prohibit game play should have any kind of penalty.
PS. Many a face-camp saves have happened because the killer was hitting the hooked person and gave the survivor nearby a window to offhook. So in some cases the only person it effects is the killer.
1 -
I agree it's a dick move, but at least hitting you on the hook actually gives you a chance to be unhooked. It's not like teabagging, which occurs when the survivor is safe(ish) and doesn't hinder them in any way.
1 -
Yes. This 100%.
I've done so many Borrowed Time saves because the killer wants to be a jerk and I manage to get the save in between Blade Wipes.

Teabag = Pinata time. Olaaayyyy olay olay olay! 😂😂😂

You could make the same case for tbagging. Smacking a survivor on hook or tbagging literally have no gameplay benefit for the person doing the action.
3 -
I think it is kind of funny and fun to hit hooked survivors if they are the toxic, t bagging, flashlight clicky clacky, constantly making gestures at the killer, trash talking, keyboard warrior type of survivors.
0 -
Get over it. Survivors can teabag as well. Move on.
0 -
So a 2 min weaping swing cooldown is okey but if the entity blocks the survivors not?
So 2 min for survivors who can do whatever they want?

I've seen players say that when they were a new killer, they thought hitting someone on the hook sped up the sacrifice process.
I've noticed that new killers will sometimes smack me on the hook just over and over again as much as they can even though I didn't do anything to piss them off. Because the survivor on the hook reacts to being hit, inexperienced killers may think that hitting them actually does something gameplay-wise. And why wouldn't they? It's reasonable to think that if the devs bothered to add in being able to hit someone on the hook, then doing it has some sort of effect.
I mean, it'd be pretty silly if hitting someone on the hook served no purpose other than annoying the survivor and screwing over the killer when they're trying to tag the unhooker, right?

It's the point of the game for killers to do this
Try reading the lore and getting into the spirt of the game

Uhm.. they are already punishing themselfs. They are wasting useful and important time.
It's the same with tbagging etc. It has 0 value and its basically spamming one button for fun I guess.
Never understood why people get so upset because of those little things. We have on both sides things that can maybe taunt, but its not the game itself. Its the 16 year old kid that is bored and want to show of their strength or something. Getting triggered by that shows that u maybe need a break or something. I've heard Civilization IV is good.

They are though, they are making it blatantly obvious they're right there in front of the survivor so everyone has an easier time deciding to just give up on them and do gens if they want.
And if they constantly do it it's easy to save a lot of the time if you really want to. Just get close, wait for them to swing and then run in and unhook with BT or something. If they were just standing there staring at them you'd risk getting grabbed or at the very least trade hook states with the player on the hook.
Had exactly that happen as recently as yesterday. I was hooked at endgame, killer was nearby and then they decided to hit me a single time. A nearby Meg rushed in, unhooked me with borrowed time and both me and Meg escaped as a result. If they didn't hit me they could've grabbed Meg, or at the very least get her down so even after realizing she had BT they'd have someone new to hook, instead they got nothing. All because they hit me on the hook a single time.

Oh the constant crying about teabagging and flashlight clicking didn't do that for you? Lol

You're obviously new to Dead by Daylight, so first of all - welcome.
When a Killer is hitting a Survivor on the hook and there are three other Survivors running around in the match, the Killer is wasting their own time (and is therefore already punished by their own actions).
Furthermore, hitting a Survivor on the hook makes the Survivor scream, which lets the other Survivors know exactly what the Killer is doing. Survivors who aren't absolutely pepega will realize that the Killer is just sitting there, hitting the Survivor on the hook, and will just do gens.
A Killer who loses multiple gens to a single hook or even a single kill has lost the match.
I suggest you play some Killer, yourself, to gain a better understanding of what it's like and perhaps a clue as to why some newer Killers do this...
0 -
Then do not act toxic to them. Some killers let the last survivor escape. Do you give them a free kill??????????? Do you be a nice survivor??????
3 -
Exactly.
1 -
Youre not too old. Just alot of entitled snowflake players on BOTH sides that think anything that upsets them or causes them to lose should be changed to suit them. Like the OP. And there are alot of little kids that play. Ive had quite a few send me psn voice messages throwing a tantrum because i dont follow their made up rules.
1 -
Imma gonna abuse you however i want my dear.

I don't think you can compare spamming hook hits and t-bagging. The hooked survivor has no way of stopping the hook hit because they're hooked. But the killer has multiple methods of stopping the t-bagging: smacking the survivor or deciding to cut chase and go for someone else. The killer can walk away from the tbagging but the hooked survivor can't walk away from the hook.
I don't think changes need to be made to either because there are so many things that could happen that aren't actually BM, and people shouldn't get punished for that. Killers already lose points for being close to the hooked survivor for too long, but sometimes I'll smack the hook survivor by accident when aiming for the person trying to unhook. I shouldn't be punished for that. Some survivors tbag to be taunting jerks, but also survivors tbag as communication (say hello, thank for heals, etc). The game wouldn't be able to really differentiate between these to establish a punishment.
