New Anti-Bullying Method?

bully squads have been an absolute nightmare for low-mid mmr killers, as they enjoy to tank their mmr ratings in order to make baby killers d/c and/or delete the game entirely, which is a horrible way to lower the already descending community:

A simple way to do this is to implement a form of detection bot where if a group of swf's are using blinding items, stun perks(head on, ds, etc.) then they may start with a mild notification (i.e. hey! make sure that everyone has fun, the killer is a person too!) to guilt trip, but if the issue continues, it is treated similar to a double dc(10 minute penalty for those involved)

    I do not think there would be an accurate way of detecting such, or at least an accurate way of implementing it that BHVR can do.

    And even if, who cares, most "bully squads" do not care about winning to begin with, they care about their own fun, all the Killer has to do is stick through the match, the Survivors will run out resources and die eventually. It's not even necessarily painful since you get a LOT of BP by the end anyways.

    Just use Franklins and one toolbox at a time, one flashlight after the other, one medkit after medkit, we will deplete the survivors stack. And THEN they will be unable to use any items! They might feel strong today, but tomorrow they could already run dry. Join the Franklins Army, we are expecting results any day, now. I have it by sources that must not be named here, that we are dangerously close to be successful.

    @Iron_Cutlass as I do understand where your point is coming from, they excel at low mmr ranks, where killers don't know how to manage survivor resources, and cannot simply just "stick through the match". A lot of players (like me) suffer from diseases which don't allow us to have the best control of our emotions and can cause us to become angry (think of the match chat after a ttv swf) as well, newer players excel at having fun, and not playing the game does not make it fun, newer players will not care about bp and prestige during their first couple hours.

    And I do understand where this is coming from as well. My brother has Asperger's Spectrum Disorder and does not handle games that make them mad that well.

    The best advice I can give is to just leave your PC/Console if you are getting upset (you do not want to make yourself more upset nor take out your frustration on others), and to take breaks between matches. It can also help to set smaller goals to go for instead of winning/losing matches.

    It definitely is not an easy thing to deal with, but there are things that can help.

    Only proper way to fix it is by making killers much more oppressive, to the point no one bother "play" with them.

    There can't be any detection system for actual game mechanics which isn't even abuse.
