Bodyblocking Epidemic will rise with new update

Now everyone has small BT by base kit + BT itself got a big buff. Now probably many Survivors and even more Survivors than before will try to bodyblock the Killer to protect the rescuer. This is allready happening with BT in the live game version. People like to do that and it drives me crazy to be honest. I would like to play fair usualy, but if someone is trying to "Nah, we will not trade hooks, I will not let you", then I seriously feel like I want to tunnel the person ASAP. It's like asking for a tunnel. It's unfun, for no side really.

I think there should be some change where the Survivor under BT effect has no colision or can't take hits for other people or if they do they go down or something. I am telling Bodyblocking the killer will be new meta as well as it allready in many games is.

    It's not changing in this regards at all. This is allready happening with BT. Now it will be even stronger and more common.

    I really wonder how this will affect kill rates.

    I mean, devs confirmed that they are not happy with the current kill rates. But now we'll get dedicated tank builds with Off the Record, MoM and SG.

    Let it have some time to see how average match will play out. I want to try new perks first before nerfing them lol

    The unhooked bodyblocking with BT aggravates me more than anything else in this game, even just a little bit more than dead hard for distance. I just hard tunnel out the guy that bodyblocks me. I don't care about winning at that point as long as his game is over

    I agree, they are making it extremely frustrating to play killer and it will only get worse. The way things are going there will be less people playing killer and we'll have a smaller variety being played than we already do.

    Honestly at the end of the day i think it would be better if they just accept camping/tunneling will happen and stop trying to balance the game around having 2 survivors leave. Its supposed to be a horror game, no? Perks that give you tenporary invulnerability or guarentee an escape so that you can basically ######### on the killer defeats the purpose of that. This is not to say that killers shpuld be able to steamroll survivors, only that i think their ideas around rebalancing will hurt what the game should be trying to achieve - a consistent horror experience where a high degree of skill can help a lot - but not ensure a victory for 2 or more survivors as it currently does

    Imo all they should be doing is severely nerfing the op survivor perks, making the underused killers viable, and remixing maps so that survivors cant just loop around a few familiar map routes

    You really think that 5 seconds Endurance are a problem? 5 seconds? Can you count to 5? Good. You countered it.

    Really, blowing something out of proportion here.

    I guess OP is talking about Off the Record... which is not either that helpful since endurance is lost after you're hit once
