What should I do about body-blocking survivors and object looping?

I have enjoyed playing killer, but I'm seriously consider playing a survivor only because whenever I play as killer, these rank 10-14s object and pallet loop where it is impossible to chase them or kill them when they do this They do this with the shack that has a window and pallet in it(works regardless of whether a pallet is there or not). They will do it with walls, and any object that takes longer than 2 seconds to walk around. If I chase them from a gen or something they find the nearest object and loop around it. I can get them SOMETIMES, but very rarely, with stupid effort, and wasting a lot of time. Often times this wastes too much time so when they start doing this I just go back to patrolling gens and other areas. Meanwhile the person who was pallet looping walks back to their gen and keeps repairing it(obviously I damage it every time). I'm then forced to keep the object looper on check while patrolling the map(rarely I can get these people down and on the hook). If I stray too far from the looper then they get their gen completely repaired and repeat the process on other gens. Often times its the whole team that does this.

The only way I've adapted to this to even have the smallest chance of fighting against this is if I play nurse, huntress, wraith, or trapper. (I dont have any bought killers except the shape). I feel so restricted on what killers I can play because of this problem.

Today, my survivors did something I've never seen before. I downed one of them (after they object looped for a good minute or two[did this to get bloodlust and escalate the chase]). As soon as I picked them up, the whole entire team(the other 3) were on me like crazy. They swamped the hook, and I hit 2 of them trying to hook my victim but the victim was able to get free because of the body blocking. After they got down, they ran towards the open gate and I lost the game. A few games before that, someone tried body blocking the door frame and running around me in order to stall me bringing someone to the hook. I try to hit them but this wastes more time, and I don't have time to hit a survivor 2 times while bringing someone to the hook without the victim getting free. There is just no way to coexist with body blocking, especially when the whole team does it. At this point it doesn't seem like I will ever make it past rank 15 on a killer.

I guess my only option is to play a survivor and give the killer a fair game like it should be. I admit that killers can be just as dirty by camping or face camping, and I hate that too. At least face camping allows the other survivors to put massive gen pressure on and therefore deny the killer bloodpoints and other kills.


So what should I do about these kinds of survivors? I want to persevere and become a better killer, but if higher ranked matches at killer is all this kind of stuff with these kinds of survs, I'm no longer interested in playing killer at all. And that was my favorite part about playing this game. I haven't had a single match since I hit rank 15 killer where at least one of the survs didn't do this. I can't think of any perk, any killer(except nurse), or any way to counter this. I don't like playing that hex: no one escapes thing because it ruins the fun for both sides. And, even so, it's only when the exit gates are powered.


Like I said, it's looking like all I can do to avoid the BS is just to be a survivor and do my part to not do this kind of stuff. Whenever I play survivor I rarely see my team do these things, and I of course don't. But when it happens on my team, the killer isn't hindered by it, and I have no idea why or how. You have to chase for a long time to get bloodlust and be faster than the survivor you are chasing to even have a chance on loopers. Meanwhile all the other survivors can get a gen half done if not more.

Am I missing something with this?
