Dropping a survivor

Hi! Since I had to press my R button for dropping a survivor a hundred times before something happened, I went to the forum and tried to find out whether it's a bug or not. I then discovered that if you attempt to drop a survivor with a relatively full wiggle bar, they wiggle free and you get stunned. Apparently this was added since the drop action was abused.

BUT:

I constantly get matched up with sweaty and toxic red ranks who body block me the whole time, especially in front of the hook. The only two things you can do as killer to counterplay is to hit that survivor but he/ she might stay there so that you have to hit them again and the other survivor already wiggled out before that happens. The other thing you can do is to drop the survivor but this never works for me and I get stunned. Having to play with people like this 99.9% of the time, is just so tiring and discouraging. Survivor queues take 10 minutes already and I know exactly why. Nobody wants to play against such entitled idiots. We all want to have fun but the majority of this community thinks it's more fun to troll the killer. So, adding this feature to the drop action that you add 33% to the wiggle bar when you drop somebody is the worst thing you could do. There's literally no counterplay to survivors who play like this.

    Survivor queues take so long only in the NA region. Here in Europe survivor queue is instant while the killer queue may take up to 20 minutes. This changes only in the night, when killer queues become quick for several hours, but from morning to evening it's the instant survivor lobby time. That's why I mostly play survivors, otherwise I would mainly play killer if not for the insane queue times for killers.

    They cant bodyblock you twice. You lose collision with them when you hit them, just walk through.

    But yes the entire team could bidyblock you or the hook is too far away or they sabotage the hook or ...

    There is enough counterplay but it can be hard for new player like you.

    As someone else has said, survivors can't take 2 hits to body-block the killer directly under the hook because you lose collision and can hook them after you hit 1 survivor. And how is this trolling, entitled or toxic? It's being a good teammate if you can body-block the killer and save a survivor from a hook state. But it can also be free pressure for the killer, especially if they're running STBFL, sloppy or playing Oni (especially against Oni. You have no idea how good it feels to see multiple survivors coming to take hits when I'm carrying someone as Oni. The survivor might wiggle out but there is so much blood on the map that I'll get so many uses out of my power.

    Also run mad grit if it's becoming this much of an issue lmao there is definitely counterplay to it.
