Reported and called a cheater for bodyblocking as a teammate

So I'm an open-minded player which is why I'm asking there if that sounds right or wrong. A killer was having a pretty bad game and decided to camp at the end. Which is fine to me. Obviously, teamwork came in. Bunch of unhooking, borrow, healings and bodyblocks from me also others. Putting myself between the killer and the survivor more than once. In my opinion it's not cheating or reportable. Right?

I've the game up in yt but I don't think it's necessary for understanding the situation.

    No, that type of body blocking is not reportable. The only body blocking that is reportable is if you block someone into a corner and they have no way to escape and play the game.

    From what you described in the post, that seems perfectly fine...you were effectively taking a protection hit for another survivor.

    From your title it was more ambiguous, as it sounds in the title that you were bodyblocking a team mate - which is an entirely different thing.

    Not only is it not cheating, it is actually encouraged by game mechanics. Why would there be a perk that requires taking protection hits to activate if it wasn't an intentional part of the game? Likewise, there are perks available to killers specifically to counter this (mad grit in particular). The game is literally built around this principle.

    Alright. I was always 100% sure of it that dude made me doubt to 99% because even after showing him the video and having a conversation one day later (Staying really nice and polite)with him he was still calling it cheating and really seemed frustrated from that game. Thanks I got more than enough confirmations. I'll send him this post s link, at some point he will understand
