Anything being done about these afk killers?
Here is just a small video of an example I have personally. This exists for several months and the general idea is that 3 out of 12-15 matches are always like this: there is a killer dude staying afk since the first second of the match doing practically nothing. Some of them trigger their weapon attacks while other killers just stay still not attacking at all.
Not sure if I should report them or not, but this is just as bad as playing against hackers. It's not even funny or entertaining, just a waste of time with little-to-no effort. And I feel like they are using some kind of bot software.

Pretty sure thats just because they are playing huntress and got Haddonfield, its just not a fun map especially with 110 movement speed due to never being able to cut off survivors and loops being much harder to chase around as 110, most tiles can easily generate as infinites against huntress, speaking from experience I used the house of pain as an infinite against huntress until she eventually got fed up with me, the map, and my team to the point where she dced

It doesn't matter if it's a specific killer or map, it can be anything and anyone and this thing happends a lot.

At least you can farm objectives

"If I'm not having fun, you can't force me to play and I have a right to leave the match whenever I want without punishment." Every survivor quitter/suicider on these forums. Imagine if killers had option to leave match like survivors do without punishment after 1-2 minutes into it.
And some people still think that players giving up like this is somehow healthy for DBD.
On more serious note, AFKing is bannable offence so you should report them for it. What she's doing might even be botting which is even more bannable.

Yes, that's right but this is clearly botting. Friendly killers tend to find you and do dumb stuff with you never killing anyone.
It's not bannable as long as you don't over do it, for example you force a farming game in 100% of your matches, at that point it might become bannable.

They're either deranking or they're farming iri shards, or both. It's happened for years but nothing gets done about it.
The best you can hope for is one that's swinging and then you can farm points healing each other, then do gens together and look for totems and move onto the next match and you should at least pip and get something out of the match.

Killer not moving besides hitting M1 the whole match is exactly how botting looked in DBD since 2016, people beiing banned for it about the same.
If you don't move whole match, you're afk which is bannable anyway. Hitting M1 the whole time doesn't mean you're playing the game so it still counts as AFKing.

Survivors get to suicide on hooks if they don't like the map/killer. Killers don't have that option. This is the answer.

If she was by a window/pallet I'd say trying to do the tome challenge of hitting survivors near those 10 times in one match - easier to get done by having survivors come to you and run into your hits than it is to chase and miss hits. Since no pallet I can see could just be a killer that hates the map and didn't want to eat a DC penalty or just trying to grind out rest of rift without effort.
You can report if you want - personally I don't report afk killers since I can just bust out gens and leave, they don't ruin my time like a hacking killer or survivor working with killer.

BHVR has already said multiple times that if you're AFK for emergencies that's one thing-- they understand, but to go AFK on the regular is a bannable offense. So, if you have multiple reports against you over multiple games by different players, then you might get a ban. I report AFK wraiths all the time. Takes a few seconds. Whether BHVR does anything about it is up to them. I'll do my part tho.

AFKing is bannable as it's purposeful not participating in normal gameplay. It's just not as bannable as botting is since AFKing can sometimes have a good reason behind it unlike botting.
If you AFK because you had some irl issues every few matches, you have nothing to fear ofc. But if you start 100 games and in all of them you just leave your keyboard and go do something else possbily leaving M1 bot to farm you some BP, you will very likely get banned.

Not even sure what you're getting at. BHVR bans who they want based on the rules they set. If you don't want to follow their rules because you believe that they mislead you, then don't.

You're free to think so.
I have yet to see someone play several hundred completely afk games and not get banned for it.
I have at least in game report to support my claim, you have just words. That's about where I'm qutting on this topic as it's starting to get really silly.

Like I said, then don't follow their rules. Be untouchable. I'll still report afk players each and every time. I'll leave it up to BHVR to do with the info what they want.

You've convinced yourself of that and that's fine. Still won't stop people from clicking on the placebo button. It just may work one day!

It is NOT the same thing as hacking at all.
If a killer decides "Aw hell, screw this map" how is that any different than a Survivor that suicides on hook?
