Bullying Bullies
I love when a bully squad comes with sabo,boil over and 4 tool kits and start bodyblocking in first hook,then when you slug one and they become overly altruistic and you get 4 slugs.It’s an awesome feeling.Funny thing is after the first bled out I started hooking them and they one managed to get off the hook and heal the others ,but altruism got the best of them again and dumb hook save attempts got me a double pip lol!!!Love to bully bullies!!Im not good enough to do it all the time but those times it happens feel amazing!!Then I got called toxic,they said we were just having fun.Told them so was I!!

They don't always react like that but that's one way to do it.
They may have contingencies for slugging but they always seem to expect that the killer is playing to win.
In my experience, out-trolling them works fine.
There is one kind of bully play I can't really counter but I've only encountered once as killer, and it's reportable. Still got 3 kills out of these jerks.

I must admit that I have bleed out some bully squads. My masterpiece was a bully squad that tried everything to tilt me, till I managed to tunnel one player out, who then DCed mere fractions of a second before I hooked them, just to spite me ^^ After that I viciously defended my gens, as they tried to escape, and like clockwork they all DCed once cornered and hauled to their death hook. I guess because they felt that they could effort to wait out the 5min timeout while spectating their friends play, thus weren't really penalized for it.
So I found the last survivor, teased them a bit and drew the down out as long as possible, before I slugged her for 3 1/2min, closed the hatch, then picked her up, went to a hook and ... just stood there. She wriggled free and made a run for one of the exit gates, but due to her evasive maneuvers I made it to the exit and blocked the switch and added two more whole minutes to the SWFs team waiting time.
I think the first dude to DC had to sit there and watch like 15min or something. Was this petty? Oh yes, it was! But it also felt kinda good to serve "them back in kind". I asked them to reconcider their toxic ways for the future, but they just said to f-me and that they I got 4 reports on my hand. Mission accomplished?
But there is also a cautionary tale, once after a slew of games were I got "bullied" I took it out on that Nancy that was "mocking me all game", throwing pallet after pallet in my face and looping me like a young god, making me look like a fool. Well, in the end it was down to just the two of us and I slugged her to let her bleed out, content that I had paid back another wicked bully ... but the fact was, that she hadn't bullied me at all, just played really, really well. She never had t-bagged a single time or even so much at pointed me. That Nancies player showed their irritation in the post game chat and I felt ashamed, for I had become the bully myself.
So after this I decided to be the better person just hook and get over with it. Yes, its fun to pay back the mean bullies a little bit in their own coin, but the chances that you subject some innocent random person to collateral slugging and petty punishment that way, eating in someones precious spare time for nothing, is pretty high, and I can life with letting all the DBD bullies in the world get away anscathed, if I don't slug innocent survivors anymore that just wanted to have some fun.

Genuine question, but do such teams really count as bullying if there's no BM coming with it ?
I've run into a couple teams of these peculiar fellows when I was a newer killer, with sabos and Breakout and Boil Over, but they never seemed to be any meaner than your average survivor. I don't remember them teabagging or taunting me.
Then again, I usually have insane luck when it comes to going against cool survivors, so it might be that most teams with those builds BM and that I got lucky with those I met. Wouldn't be the first time something like that happened =D

"Some innocent person to collateral slugging...'

I ... I am glad to be of service ^_- But for real, we should make "collateral slugging" a thing when talking about this stuff.

No, just running sabo builds and breakout and stuff is just survivors trying to survive .. and actually by running anything but the most meta builds, which is cool. Getting sabo-ed can feel really tilting, because the survivors are essentially preventing you from getting your just reward for a successful chase, but sabo-ing is really risky. And it should be, but on the other hand it must be somewhat rewarding for the survivors, or they would all just run gen-rushing builds.
But the bully teams usually only have one dedicated gen jockey, while the three others try to torment you as much as possible, while preventing you from gaining any foothold in the game. Its slow, agonizing and you don`t usually get any satisfaction out of such a game, even if you pull of a draw or something. And if you just sulk in a corner they will try to taunt you with scratch marks on the wall and fast vaulting for minutes on end, not exaggerating. They 99% the last three gens and then try to tilt you, just for the lulz.
Such bully squads luckily arent the norm, but they aren't exactly a once in a blue moon occasion, either.

Bullying bully squads might be one of my favorite things in this game
You want to be an ass and do everything you can to make my game miserable? You can lie there on the ground and have a Time Out to think about what you've done.
Though I am at a bit of an advantage as I've played this game for far far too many hours so there are very few tricks bully squads use that I haven't seen before (and therefore know ways to best counter them).

I absolutely LOVE it when they sent me to Gideon XD no cap! I know that map in and out so well i ALWAYS know where they are because they always take the same paths.
Actually most squads i destroyed were on gideon. If i play a teleporter like onryo or dredge, Legion or freddy on top of that, its gonna be an ez 4k for me. I cant deliver that consistent on any other map. Even had a trapper game lately where it first seemed to go ez for them on gideon, but than at 3 gens left i started snowballing. He might be in a lower mmr than im used to though. Havent played him in litteral months until yesterday.

I think most teams have the capacity to turn into a bully squad if they get the opportunity regardless if they are dedicated SWF or not.
It's pretty common for any team to start messing about with the killer if they know they're safe. I.e the team has secured 3 fast gens and they are very confident they will win or they're playing against a killer who doesn't have good chase & loop potential.
It's like it's hardwired into survivor mains psyche to act like a bunch of d**kheads at any given opportunity. They go from playing sensible to acting like their favourite toxic streamer SWF all tbagging, body blocking, clicky clicky etc etc.
That's literally why I treat every game as if I'm going against these types of players & play with no mercy. Almost every survivor has the potential to play like this if they're presented the opportunity.

in my games the average survivor IS someone who teabaggs at every pallet drop ever, there is like 1 out of 4 who doesnt teabagg so yeah. Consider yourself very lucky XD
