Basement hooking is worse than tea bagging

Basement hooking is BM. Tea bagging isn't really an issue. Oh no, a survivor crouched multiple times in a row, that's going to cause me to tilt and get into a bad mood! No, basement hooking is much worse. The killer goes out of their way to hook you in the worst spot imaginable. They're basically saying ######### you, I hope you DC, I'm not playing for fun, good luck getting someone to rescue you.

    The entire reason BMing is a thing isn't to put you in a bad position, it's to put you in a bad mood. That's the sole reason it exists.

    I mean, what am I supposed to do if I don't have any non-basement hooks within a reasonable range of the person I downed? Just let them go?

    A lot of killer players who have no major intentions of camping/tunneling will actually avoid using the basement when possible (or only use the front hook) just because it usually costs them extra time to hook someone down there.

    It sucks to get hooked in the basement as survivor, especially if your team isn't bold enough to even bother attempting a rescue, but to call it BM seems like a very extreme leap in logic to me. It's roughly the same as calling BM on survivors who prioritize the map's optimal gens first (to reduce the risk of a 3-Gen situation).

    Survivor should have had better situational awareness. You get yourself knocked out by the basement, you're going in the basement.

    Ah, darn. I didn't realize hooking somebody in the basement, the literal closest hooks sometimes, was BM. Guess I'm toxic.

    ... Okay, sure. Compare someone doing the in-game equivalent of flipping you off to someone taking advantage of an outdated mechanic.

    Not really out though. Remember, basement hooks are permanent and indestructible. I still get the team that likes to body block and sabotage hooks. So I just drag them to the basement. Why waste my time trying to find unbroken hooks.

    Crouching repeadately is literally worse than a basement hook because it serves no purpose than to waste your own time taunting a killer, versus doing anything else, like maybe a generator? It actually hurts your ability to escape because it takes time you could've use escaping.

    And yes the same applies to The Ghostface, worst killer hands down.

    Only the back basement hook is BM. Front hook is just using the basement. Back hook is saying "you ain't getting out".
