Hook Camping

The last 2 weeks have been horrendous. Every time someone gets hooked, the Killer just face camps them, smacks the crap out of them or even worse, it's a Wraith and they just spam bell until the person has had enough and just quits. I figured these were new players, but these are multiple prestige Killers.

Making this worse, over the last couple of days I've had baby survivors on my team (1 or 2 yellow perks and don't know how to unhook) and they get slaughtered. I can shadow new players and try to help them but as soon as they are being face camped I can only trade, and they probably go down again too, or I let them die, which just feels bad.

I don't know if this hostility is a result of the new HUD being implemented, I'm not on social media but it's seen a lot of bitterness on display in the forum, but I'd gladly trade the HUD to go back to when this was less frequent. These kinds of matches just feel miserable, like you can tell how much they want you to have a bad time. I know this stuff always happens but it's been so frequent lately that it's taken a lot of the joy out the game.

I'm much happier getting washed by a Billy than playing against mediocre players who hold players hostage and try and make them RQ.

This is part rant, part me hoping BHVR finds some way to reduce or discourage this kind of, I'll be generous and describe it as a, "playstyle".
