Is it against the rules for killers to fake friendliness?

I had a killer yesterday who pretended to be friendly and acted as if he wanted to farm. I don't like farming myself, but he made it clear he wanted to so after waiting to be sure, I came out of hiding and joined in. The moment we got comfortable and let our guard down he slugged us and hooked us one by won for a free 4K. Even worse was he was a streamer, and was streaming the whole thing which is just shameful. My issue isn't that he didn't farm, it's that he clearly deceived us by pretending to only to do a 180 for easy kills.

Is this against the rules? It's certainly a scummy and unfun tactic, but I've been wondering if it's worth reporting.

    No this isn’t exactly against any game rules.

    it would maybe be if the killer worked/farmed with one of the survs against the others but it doesn’t seem to be the case here.

    i usually don’t trust farming killers anymore, my partner and I often make sure that we are not easily 4man downed and also try to cleanse all Totem without killer noticing in these cases
