Depip due to afk bot farmer.

I was on the new Plague map and the game loads someone instantly dc's either on purpose or crash but figure i'll try and make it work. I do 2.5 gens, 3 dull totems, search 3 or 4 chests including the basement one.


It turns out the killer a huntress was afk the entire time never moved from her spawn point and was a bot match the 3rd time in last 2 weeks or so i've faced. So I figure i'll just leave since I should safety pip and can move onto the next game.


But go figure I hard depipped and it wasn't even close to a safety pip now I can understand only getting a safety pip but getting depipped due to an afk killer after all that.

    You could've ran in circles in front of the killer so it counts as being chased, not staying still. You could've maxed on boldness plus 2.5 gens, 3 dull totems would easily be a pip.


    But that's not the answer, I know, there should be a mechanic where the game imidiatelly ends with everyone safe pipping except the killer in case he's afk for 1-2 minutes.

    Well I did get into terror radius but M&A so would've had to get even closer but still I can understand not pipping but a depip is not ok.


    Also even maxing boldness wouldn't have pipped me because i'd been in terror radius quite a bit while doing gens and running around trying to find them.


    If anything maxing boldness would've only been a safety pip at most.

    This is also not the answer for your valid concern, but I guess the only thing you can do now is not care anymore about pips, ranking and stuff. The system's busted from many angles, even if there are a lot of people defending it. But it's completely busted for killers like Trapper, for example. Chainsaw killers, M&A Myers and Huntress suffer too with some emblems.

    I guess the only ones doing well are Legions. Too bad Legion games suck for everyone else.

    Don't care for now, until it gets somehow fixed.

    Agreed, I'm just frustrated by it all and the fact killer can rage quit either during loading screen or early game and depip or double depip everyone. On killer side I'm just trying to farm and let people have fun.

    If you had maxed out objective. Gotten survival for the escape. Maxed out bold. That has to be enough for a pip?

    I think its best to play for bloodpoints not for pips. As long as I don't hit rank 15 or red ranks I don't mind where I am. There are no rewards so its for bragging rights only.

    legion and doc aren't really affected by the emblem system too badly. Solo players and the rest kind of get the shaft.

    Dear BHVR,

    It's 2019. Your system should be able to pick up that someone is afk. Especially the killer, since they're hosting. AFKing should be an automatic double depip and an automatic safety for everyone else.

    Farming is one thing(albeit boring) but afking and causing other players to derank, depip, or de-anything due to lack of activity is really bogus. This goes for potato killers who don't hardly do anything and people depip/derank. There's no reason the killer or survivors should be punished because other players are morons. You're basically begging people to SWF at this point. Please stop. lol

    I dont see a problem with this.

    NExt time just stay a bit longer, run a few rounds around the killer and get your iri chaser. Its basically impossible to depip in an afk-killer game =)

    Did you report the bot?

    From his description, the killer was only afk which is not bannable.

    Well the bots will usually auto swing if you get close so I did report them for being a bot and that's the 3rd one doing it. Although the 1st 2 were Legions and would also only swing if you got close.
