People are sandbagging for no reason since the last update

When my swf is not on,im playing in duo o soloQ and since last update idk whats wrong with the ppl that starts sandbagging/bodyblocking me for no reason, did nothing to them is so stupid.

Last time i got a clip about it was a feng bodyblocking the main building in the gas heaven and i deadharded in to the killer and she took the hit, we can say she got the karma for that, then i found hatch.

But im really done finding those ppl and i cant even dc cuz im getting banned for something is not fair and also im not having fun facing that. Imagine having a DC penalty in a casual game and thinking that is gonna help MMR LOL

    My last game of last night had a Leon that just

    decided to tbag in front of Pyramid Head until he died.

    Like, nothing actually happened, no one got hooked or downed or anything, he just decided he didn't want to actually play and naturally took us all with him.


    So yeah, I switched to Killer.

    There's three different types of sandbagging.


    -Teammate is trying to get you killed. Often seems this way, but needs repeated incidents or particularly inexplicable decisions in order to confirm this.

    -Teammate is trying to help you and doing a really bad job - most commonly, they want to take a hit for you but get in your way. Also teammates that want to heal you in unsafe locations, get in the way, and alert you to the killer by running everywhere.

    -Teammate is just stupid. Also applies to things like having someone run the killer into your gen without Bond, dropping a pallet with you on the other side, or both of you trying to squeeze past each other in a tight doorway - it's just an unlucky accident, typically caused by a player without good game sense.


    None of this is new - you've just been getting unlucky lately. It's more common in lower MMR because you get more of #2 and #3 from inexperienced players. #1 is more of a constant in solo queue. People who grief in every match are less common in higher MMR, but it becomes more common to get a teammate that wants to kill you because you used shack pallet or led the killer to their gen or beat them to an unhook.

    DCing's not the right answer unless it's the kind of sandbagging where someone has you trapped in a corner.

    Earlier today I was playing Billy and came up on shack where Felix and Feng were working on a gen. I chased Felix around the shack and Feng threw the pallet on top of Felix and I downed him. He DCs and not even a second later another survivor DCs. Feng starts tbagging me and I down her, then slap her on the hook 4 or 5 times for wasting shack pallet. Face camped her while eating cereal and watching Youtube. Last survivor got hatch.

    Sometimes survivors just want to be silly. Funny first game though.

    The sandbagging I have noticed has come in a different variety. Playing on console I almost always am the only console player in the match. I've seen a large uptick on people running the killer right to me. On the flip side I've had PC players pointing and flashing to get me to take out the console player while I am killer. I am willing to put up with the disadvantage of the controller but not from other survivors actively helping the killer.
