Anti-Slug Strats?

2 nights ago:

We were at Giddeons plant, with a Wraith. I was able to loop for a little while once the killer found me and Nea on a gen, and when I got downed with Knockout the killer just left me there and went on another chase. OK no biggie I guess, he downed me in bathroom. Knockout goes away, and I'm still lying there and no ones coming to get me--but I come to see that the killer is proxy camping the bathroom. So, I crawl out while he's in chase with Felix.

I get picked up, and killer immediately tunnels me down again. Rinse and repeat this until I bleed out on the floor. Mind you, I am near hooks. And there is no one else around me to save me. He just leaves me.

Once Im dead I spectate my friend who's still in, Felix, and see that this trend continues. He downs Felix, who is eventually picked up by Nea, and after say 10-15min eventually all the survivors are downed--and then you see Wraith just cloak, and run to a corner and stand there as we wait for everyone to bleed out.

Not sure why the Killer played like this, he only got 20k BP for it and even just hooking ONE of us would of gotten much more. It doesn't make sense to me. If we were playing rude to him maybe I can understand--but I didn't do anything except for one pallet stun before he got me. And based on the Auras I could see and chases I could hear--no one else got any stuns or blinds on him. So it seemed really unprovoked.

I also dont know any strategy for this to combat it. He refused to pick me up or hook anyone even once, so DS couldn't come into play or DH, and Unbreakable only works the one time. If I had Soul Guard MAYBE I could have gotten away--but again, the killer slugged me around 3-4 times. Each time I was picked up the killer was on us again and I'd get downed and left as he chased away my teammates.

I know a game like this is rare in occurrence, but I know they're making some changes soon to things like anti-face camp and what not. I've had 3 more games just last night where I was just left slugged, no hooks. Im not seeing the benefit of this for killers, as there ARE hooks nearby to choose from they're just refusing to use them even if there's no other survivors around(to prevent a flashlight save or something).

    No Mither is good if you never want to get slugged. I recommend that
