Remove these two incredibly stupid features
Why is it still possible for Killers to hit a survivor on the hook and be forced into a weapon wipe, and why is it possible for an unhooked survivor to use their generously gifted basekit Borrowed Time to bodyblock for the person who unhooked them.
For the first thing, hitting on hook serves two purposes. Lets Killers be toxic to hooked survivors, and lets the incredibly garbage Auto-Aim system screw over killers who are trying to hit unhookers, wasting their time and giving the survivors a free unhook.
For the second thing, the entire point of basekit BT and anti-tunnel to to prevent being tunneled. By purposefully throwing yourself in the way between the killer and the guy who unhooked you, you're forcing them to tunnel and abusing the system.
Fixes are simple. Remove hooked survivors hitboxes, so hitting them is just like hitting a wall. Reducing toxicity, reduces chance of being ######### over by auto-aim. And remove recently unhooked survivors collision for the duration of the endurance. If they want to bodyblock, the killer will just walk straight through them. Some killers (like Sadako) and already do this, and it works great.
Honestly, part of the reason I made this was just to hear what survivors can come up with about how unhook bodyblocking is actually totally fine and killers should just move to the complete other side of the map after every hook or something.

I think getting hit on hook is funny tbh. Everything shouldn’t be taken as toxic or being unsportsmanlike.

There was actually a brief period of time where trying to hit a survivor on the hook would act like you were hitting a wall. It was a certain patch I can't remember which one, years ago now.
I think people either reported it as a bug or the devs intentionally put it back in because it's considered part of dbd culture or smth like that.

Nobody is forcing anyone to tunnel. And if you fail to hit the unhooker thats 99% your own fault.

wow, we already got one. So, since you're so good at preventing bodyblocks, whats your strategy for getting past them?

You are right. If the
auto-aim"aim-dressing" the devs force on killers, despite the multiple requests over the years to give us the option to turn it off, decides to hit the survivor who is at a 90 degree angle instead of who you are aiming at, it's totally 99.99999999% the killer's fault.4 -
99% of the time if I hit a hooked or recently unhooked Survivor, it was a misaim when I was trying to aim for the unhooker. Because of the glitch that steals hits by aimlocking your weapon swing to the nearest Survivor, which for some ungodly reason includes Survivors on hooks or recently unhooked ones.
You know how you fix this? Remove unhook endurance and give Survivors that are hooked or just got off the hook no collision for the Killer only for the same duration of time that you WOULD have off-hook endurance, or until they start doing anything else like being healed, interacting with an object, doing a gen, opening a chest, etc. That way Killers that are innocently just pressuring unhooks or trying to go for the unhooker won't accidentally hit an unintended target, AND Survivors can be happy that direct tunnelling off the hook is gone. It's also a way to prevent attempting to use an anti-grief feature against the Killer, which is a nuisance I'm pretty sure encourages tunnelling more than not. I know I'm certainly more encouraged to chase a person who tries to body block with off-hook endurance more than I am someone who just runs away and lets me chase the unhooker…-1 -
Since we are removing "toxicity" from the most part of the game, I feel keeping it as is would be rather weird

Why should you prevent bodyblocking? Biased.
