Idling killers constant issue

I've played 2 games today, and 2 idling killers. Both had exclusive cosmetics and perks, so these accounts were far from new. Why can't they be stopped? 1 every now and then is no big deal, take the W and move on. But when it happens all the time it ruins the game.

    So you are talking about afk killers.

    I am not sure anymore but I think if the killer is not moving the system detects him as afk and he gets a timout for that

    They are purposefully lowering their MMR so that they go against worse players! They don't get a timeout or anything to punish that behavior.

    A lot of the streamers try an lower their mmr so they can get weaker players to make content

    I only noticed this happening often when i played surv on my killer only account. I assume it might have something to do with "mmr" but then again mmr doesn't really work well so I dunno.


    I just know I rarely see it on my surv account where I played surv a lot more. I did notice some difference between said accounts.

    sometimes 3 consecutive games with an idle/AFK killer it is very annoying and a waste of time.

    I've seen the exactly twice. Once with a Freddy when I was new and once with a wraith.
