    That's a lie. Borrowed time and sides unhook are literally there to counter face campers.

    That just causes a trade off. Two, you can use killers power and spam it to slowly clip into the hook. Blocking the prompt.

    Using a bug isn't a good argument.

    The same killer mains screaming at me that a buff to WGLF is somehow bad, are the same ones that say “it’s not face camping unless you block the prompt” wanna argue with their nonsense.

    Nevermind I’m sorry. I wouldn’t wish having to argue with them on my worst enemy.

    I'm not trying to say face campers aren't annoying, just saying bodyblockers are too. To me they're on similar lvls. Trolls exploiting flaws in the game to win BUT I'm saying face campers actually have real in-game mechanic counters as oppose to bodyblockers.

    The counter to bodyblockers is hitting them...

    Then you have a 5s animation during which they switch, forcing another hit 5s again, the dude wiggles away and you're back chasing while they're healing/repairing waiting for you to try again. Rince repeat as many times as you want since you can't hook they can be downed an infinite amount of times.

    It’s 3 seconds if you count the swing. And that’s 6 seconds. It takes about 12.5 seconds to wiggle free. That’s if you don’t have iron grasp or Agitation, with iron grasp giving more time, and agiatation usually able to circumvent bodyocking

    So as I said 2 hits, he wiggle away.

    .....no. You’d still have 6.5 seconds. Though it takes time to reach the hook, you’d still have 1 or 2 to hook if it’s nearby. Bodyblocking is only a problem when you walk really far and one hit gets em off

    Look you understand perfectly the situation so stop pretending like this is fair and can be work around, it cannot unless they're terrible survivors and stop teaming up to bodyblock hooks. You keep saying 2 hits he's down but it's NEVER 1 bodyblocker.

    Try equipping iron grasp as a perk if people are being overly agressive with the body blocking. With iron grasp you can smack 3 survivors and still get your hook on the 4th player. Body blocking is a viable and reasonable strategy if that is the route the survivors wish to take, however it has to be done right or it can fail miserably and have a whole team downed in no time! Iron grasp is the best defence against body blockers!

    It usually just results in another survivor getting downed. Haven't seen many people actually prevent a hooking by bodyblocking. Seems fine if they're willing to take the risk.

    SWF do that all the time, knowing that their mate has DS but is non-obession.

    But yeah, in solo games it rarely happens

    Body blocking is to your dribbling. Your camping is to our savings very crappy and to fast that's how camping started. It's not a bug it's not dirty just hit them, if the one on your shoulder gets out their not going far.plus side is the body blockers are now hurt and so is the shoulder one. It's like us survivors bitching about BBQ or noed.

    Drop that sucker on the ground and starting slugging anyone around the hook.  I usually end up with another slugged survivor when they try this, or more.

    "unless you're bad" "jeez how long does it take you to chase" "if you're good" Do you think those were veiled insults ? ;3

    Those are aggressive insults? Bad isn’t one, it’s a state of affinity or skill. How long you chase is a question, and “if you’re good” is basically the same as the “unless you’re bad”

    Dude, enough with the passive-aggresive bullshit. Sometimes bodyblocking may benefit the killer, sometimes it does not.

    I just played a match where a david king and a claudette body blocked me with a laurie 2m away from the hook, got them both injured and i'm running sloppy butcher, won the match a minute or two later.

    If you remove body blocking that means survivors can run through the killer. That means the killer can no longer body block windows, or trap survivors while revving chainsaw, or anything else like that. This also means that survivors have less incentive to help one another, meaning that they're going to be on generators instead, which is worse for you.

    Most of the time body blocking is also to the killer's advantage, since usually there's hooks close enough that you can get a hook. If you have someone downed, and the rest of them are flocking about trying to body block, then they aren't doing gens. If you hit them, they'll run off to heal, which is also them not doing gens.If they're not doing gens, then you are controlling the pace of the game and that's what you want as the killer.

    If you really struggle with it, keep in mind you can take agitation or iron grasp. With Iron Grasp you can handle even three body blocks at a hook, while with agitation you can out run the survivors. Fake as though you're heading to one hook, then change course and go to another. They won't be able to get there in time to stop you.

    If you expect them to body block then you can hit them as soon as they get close.  
      
    This wastes their time and usually ends up in a win for the killer.  
      
    3 people bodyblocking in coordination is pretty bad though.

    Body blocking comes at a price of becoming injured. Face camping doesent injure the killer. There is nothing wrong with body blocking. I get that it makes you angry. There are ways to win against body blockers.

    I'm wondering how survivors get mad at face-camping (don't get me wrong it's a cheap exploit) but think it's okay to bodyblock. Here's why bodyblocking is worst; face camping can be resolved by unhooking from the sides whilst bodyblocking completly prevent hooking survivors. More than that, it takes advantage of in-game mechanic flaws and has no counter. Can the devs play a match vs ppl doing that ? Like when they wouldn't nerf the flashlights, took 1 match vs 4 survivors using it to make them nerf it. I have nothing against a loss fair and square but it feels as I climb ranks, it's the only "tactic" high rank use, which is sad since I expected ppl who are much better at hiding and chases not trolls. Even Neji is jalous of that perfect defense...

    if the killer would just hit me then i would be fine since i get my WGLF point for it. as well as if the killer sees this as a problem then drop the survivor and run after the person you just injured, down them and hook them.

    Bodyblocking is an intended mechanic in the game, and survivors are actually rewarded for doing it.

    Benevolence Emblem (Altruism)

    • 10 points for taking a hit while the killer is carrying a survivor
    • 30 points for wiggling out of the killer's grasp

    Malicious Emblem (Deviousness)

    • 1 point for hitting a survivor
    • 2 points for survivors reaching a new hook stage (does not require camping to happen)
    • 1 point removed for survivors breaking free of your grasp.

    I'm definitely in for the deal, I don't anyway. Beside, the points you get to me are incentive to bodyblock when the killer is walking, the exploit is by using that mechanic in front of a hook. Imo.

    Is it not just hilarious when they unhook as you just put them there ? Like at least wait till I turn around. Well free kills I guess. Best tho is when the one you chase go to unhook a survivor. Ok I stop chasing you but you just killed a guy. XD

    same thing with camping a survivor. i dont mind getting rid of bodyblocking if the killers are forced to stop camping

    What I am saying is survivors are directly rewarded for bodyblocking in the overall game score, while killers are actually punished for camping. With camping, they only gain 2 points when the survivor reaches a new hook stage. If they are camping, they usually aren't hooking other survivors (not getting points), and camping makes survivors do generators, which also punishes killers, because killers only get points in the Gatekeeper Emblem bases on how many unrepaired generators are remaining when the trial is over. Based on the Emblems (which determines how many pips you get), if your goal is to rank up, bodyblocking rewards survivors and camping punishes killers. Unless killers are trying to rank down, camping is rewarding.

    I'm wondering how survivors get mad at face-camping (don't get me wrong it's a cheap exploit) but think it's okay to bodyblock. Here's why bodyblocking is worst; face camping can be resolved by unhooking from the sides whilst bodyblocking completly prevent hooking survivors. More than that, it takes advantage of in-game mechanic flaws and has no counter. Can the devs play a match vs ppl doing that ? Like when they wouldn't nerf the flashlights, took 1 match vs 4 survivors using it to make them nerf it. I have nothing against a loss fair and square but it feels as I climb ranks, it's the only "tactic" high rank use, which is sad since I expected ppl who are much better at hiding and chases not trolls. Even Neji is jalous of that perfect defense...

    Bodyblocking is an intended mechanic in the game, and survivors are actually rewarded for doing it.

    Benevolence Emblem (Altruism)

    • 10 points for taking a hit while the killer is carrying a survivor
    • 30 points for wiggling out of the killer's grasp

    Malicious Emblem (Deviousness)

    • 1 point for hitting a survivor
    • 2 points for survivors reaching a new hook stage (does not require camping to happen)
    • 1 point removed for survivors breaking free of your grasp.

    same thing with camping a survivor. i dont mind getting rid of bodyblocking if the killers are forced to stop camping

    What I am saying is survivors are directly rewarded for bodyblocking in the overall game score, while killers are actually punished for camping. With camping, they only gain 2 points when the survivor reaches a new hook stage. If they are camping, they usually aren't hooking other survivors (not getting points), and camping makes survivors do generators, which also punishes killers, because killers only get points in the Gatekeeper Emblem bases on how many unrepaired generators are remaining when the trial is over. Based on the Emblems (which determines how many pips you get), if your goal is to rank up, bodyblocking rewards survivors and camping punishes killers.

    Well I just got my ticket to lower my rank, I didn't know it was so easy to demote oneself.

    Facecamping doesnt exist, mate. it got fixed almost half a year ago.
    Yes, Facecamping was a cheap exploid, so it got removed. On the other side, when survivors find a similar thing, its called a "feature"... hmmm...

    Body blocking grants survivors points in the Benevolence Emblem (taking a hit while a survivor is being carried by a killer), so yes, it's a feature. Killers gain no additional points for camping (any points they would get while camping can be obtained much easier by not camping). I don't know where you think Face camping was removed, because I still see it happening occasionally.

    Facecamping still exists, just not in the format it was before now that swivels unhooks are a thing. But killers do still stand right in someones face and camp or turn around and butt camp.

    They've even resorted to an exploit where they force their character model inside the hooked survivor preventing any unhooks whatsoever.

    yes, but what you are refering to is hrad camping. facecamping was, when the killer blocked the unhook option with his own hitbox, which should not be a thing anymore (i do know shape can still do that, since the devs (for some reason) removed his hitbox while stalking, so he can just walk into the survivor)

    so with other words:
    killer bodyblocking: thats a cheap exploid and should get removed
    survivor bodyblocking: thats a great and 110% fair feature, so lets reward that.
    see the problem?

    btw, the bonus points for bodyblocking the killer were not always a thing, mate. these got added later on.

    If you're tired of body blocking start slugging. Be equally as frustrating. If all 3 aren't on gens and are more interested in healing the person on the ground you can even force a bleed out. Not the most sportsmanlike tactic but neither is bodyblocking.

    It's an exploitation of the hook's hit box, but I haven't said it should be removed, but it should be discouraged. Survivors and killers both exploit it (extreme body blocking) when they stand inside the hook's hit box with the purpose of blocking the interaction, though survivors are more likely to exploit it than killers.

    Body blocking the killer is balanced. If you don't, the killer can always hook a survivor. It's even an achievement. Hit the survivor before you pick them and hit them while walking before they get to the actual hook since it's easier for them to dodge then reblock.

    I hate body blocking at camping, I will not do either unless the other side is doing either of them. If they want to abuse the game, then I will play that way. If not then i will play in a more fair way to all players.
