Prevent Bodyblocking in Corners

If the killer pins me, or another survivor, in the corner via body blocking there needs to be a way of breaking out. I propose the following baseline rule/ability:

If a survivor is touching the killer for 20 seconds, they can interact with the killer to punch them back a couple meters.

I had a match the other night where I took a wrong turn, a losing killer body block pinned me, and my.......teammates.......refused to open the exit gates, making for a really long match. I shouldn't need a one minute leaver penalty to get out of that situation.

    bHVR needs to implement a system that checks if Survivors collision box or Killer Collision box touch each other and then if they have touched each other for more than 5 seconds. They should allow them no collision for 3 seconds.

    This is the least intrusive way to prevent exploitation without interrupting normal gameplay.

    Bodyblocking is a dumb mechanic anyway and it should be removed as a whole. I do understand why it exists, but it can be used for bad things too. Survivors should have no collisions with each other and the killer should have no collisions with the survivors if the survivor has collisions surrounding them.

    I had teammates bodyblock me inside certain areas. For example, one time I cleansed devour hope and my teammate bodyblocked me. I initially thought they are just trying to secure the cleanse in case the killer was coming to it so I had 2-3 seconds extra to finish it. She didn't move until the end of the match. When the killer approached and she moved last second. She killed me in the process.

    Stuff like this is unacceptable for a game that makes millions of dollars every year.

    I saw how they proposed a solution to refine the "afk mechanics" if the survivor stands still, a raven arrives, yes it is already in the game BUT this would mean that the survivor does not have a collision and he can pass through all players, since I was faced with the fact that I the killer squeezed, but another survivor did not let me climb through the window, waiting until they dropped me to the ground

    I have to disagree. Survivors having no collision with each other means it's much easier than it should be to intercept in a chase and take a hit for somebody.

    I do think killers should definitely lose collision if they're standing still for at least a minute. There's only one reason a killer would stand still that long in a way that would also hinder a survivor. Admittingly it would make face camping harder. Which I'm all for honestly.

    How about : remove all bodbblocking all the time.


    The rules need to go both ways. You can't just write them to make it more fun for survivors only.

    This isn't just to make things easier for survivors, this is clearly meant to prevent killers holding the game hostage.
