    The reason I bring up 'playing it correctly' is because you have quite a few options at your disposal when you face bodyblockers, it's just up to you to decide which is the best course of action. These include: just hitting them if they're close enough + hooking, changing hook if another one is close enough and you see they are ready to block the other one, drop the survivor, or just don't pick them up in the first place and slug. People get really salty over slugging but it's a very strong tactic in certain situations.

    And yeah, I stick by thinking body collision in this game is a really good thing. I enjoy it. I'm glad I at least gave you a good laugh though :D

    Mind replying to that? Seems whenever a comment tilts you, but you can’t straw man out of it you just downvote and sulk

    @SaltyKiller
    People require time to heal again before blocking, you are demanding control over every survivor at once. Chase a blocker, and will a guy get up? Yeah, you still have him and several others injured, as well as you expecting the entire team to be ready to help. If they are....NO ONE IS ON GENS!

    Have you tried hitting the survivors? ;)

    @SaltyKiller I already gave you more options than that, but okay... they don't exist I guess. You should try slugging more vs bodyblocking teams, it becomes A LOT harder to bodyblock when the others will either be down or trying to heal the downed guy. Hell, even getting them in just the injured state helps a ton, as it'll mean you trade them on the hook if they try to still block.

    I don't really know how you're having so much trouble vs them, as long as they don't bait out a bunch of missed swings from you it rarely does anything but hurt them.

    You have much the same experiences as me and it sounds like we can both read the situation and adapt accordingly. This is apparently not the case for all killers though.

    Yes, another thing Killer's should have because it's beyond stupid that Survivors can body block with impunity, not unless you're EW3 Myers but I'll get to that later.

    Solution: the instant a Killer picks up a Survivor, now their attack instant downs. It's more than fair considering that the Killer moves slower. Survivors can still save with a flashlight or pallet. But now they can't troll the Killer and the little conga line blocking the hook completely goes away.

    Please don't make this a perk just make it a base ability. Thank you.

    Terrible idea and I'm a killer main.

    People would run agitation and if you didn't know, agitation allows you to outrun survivors while carrying someone. So if anyone is within roughly 10 seconds of the downed person, they are basically guaranteed to be downed ( unless a pallet is around or w/e )
