How is it that survivors get penalized for running around doing nothing, but the killer can get u down and just either stand there or follow u around til u bleed out... It's like holding the game hostage... Because other survivors can't save u without being hit, or worse...

    The natural penalty for this is that they throw the entire match. The Killer spending 4 minutes doing nothing is ample time for the rest of your team to do the Generators and leave.

    Also if you recover as much as possible and then crawl to a pallet, there are safe ways for a teammate to get you up . The only exception is if you're against a select few Killers with instadowns/multi-hit abilities, but that's a character-specific issue and not inherent to the whole Killer role.

    There's also a multitude of antislugging perks that render this completely unviable.

    Survivors get inactivity penalties because there doing nothing. They already won the chase and downed you, and leaving someone on the ground is a strategy to apply pressure or stop saves. Thats not doing nothing.

    Those two things aren’t comparable.

    Also the “survivors can’t save you without getting hit” means nothing. Taking hits, using pallets, flashlights, or perks is literally how saves work. So im not sure what you mean their.

    And it’s not “holding the game hostage” when there’s already a 4 minute bleed out timer built into the game. The match will progress regardless.

    Its even easier than basement camping bubba like the time before someone will bleed out is like what 4 minutes which is lot of time in which 4 survivors can do gens fast and in 3 minutes if they spread they can have them done, not to mention there are perks that boost healing or counter this so some of killers time through his attempt to get kill can be made longer by some tens of seconds which just makes this situation more trivial for rest of the team to deal with not to mention if killer has to switch slug than its totaly easy escape.

    I get sluged survivor isnt enjoying it but the thing is the rest will escape and killer will still loose and abandon is in game like I think if you go down two times in which you recovered to maximum (recovering is automatic) you can just leave a bot there for killer and if he wants to annoy players that bot when picked will do gens for sure.
