Basekit BT Bodyblocking

In one of the antitunneling PTBs they tested the elusive status after unhooking. (a little different from the effect we got now) The unhooked survivor received a lot of bonuses to get away and to make sure they won't get tunneled. With those effects they also could not get bodyblocked by the killer. Those changes did not make it to live. Instead the bt timer got increased. Right now a pretty common strat for survivor is to run ds and run into the killers chase with their basekit bt. You can't go past them. You can hit them but the survivor you chased will make a lot of distance. Now you can go for the OG survivor with a lot of distance or "tunnel" the other one. After you down them you can slugg them (until they use ub) or eat their ds and start the chase again. I am not against bodyblocking in general but in my opinion the anti tunnel features should not get abused. I would love to see the no collision on bt survivors return.

    ppl complained about survivor running inside of other survivors to body block instead but that was significantly easier to mess up than body black. It was prolly tossed with the entire update due to mass negative feedback the entire system got when noclip part should have been kept imo

    They totally should have kept the anti bodyblock feature.

    If the problem is that they could go inside the other survivor then make it so they only lose colision with the killer but not with the survivor.

    Problem solved.
