So I made a poll about flashlight clickers, here's the opposite.

To be honest, hitting a survivor on the hook is actually pretty bad idea already, because even without Kindred the survivors will know you camp and can just rush gens... or you give them free window for an unhook... so discouraging this actually benefits the killer and not survivors... but sitll:

Punish toxicity of hitting survivors on the hook by pausing their sacrfice progression timer.

    Toxicity is just a fact of this game and its community. If you disable certain in game ways of being toxic, we'll just end up inventing another. Theres no way to truly stop it.

    Sure, and every time a flashlight is clicked or a teabag is teabagged, gens should regress.

    It is the killer who wastes his time when he does that.

    maybe.

    after the first hit on hook, it's toxic, but the first is usually to prevent the horribly loud cream sfx.

    maybe it'd be best to also make sure it's not abused by making it cease to function if the killer is in chase with another survivor, since that meant they probably missed.

    Is it toxic? sure i guess but they are also wasting time and giving your team a great opportunity to get you off the hook

    Hitting the hooked survivor 3 times lets the survivor jump off the hook dropkicking the killer in the face successfully stunning them 🙂 😂

    All this would do is make hook diving and using the survivor on the hook as a meat shield to be more viable.

    Aka its terrible for everyone; by making it more viable for your teammates to farm you to death off of hook while also pissing off the killer.

    Yes but maybe make it only a half a second pause

    I have no issue if I'm hooked and the killer is hitting me on a hook, it gives the team a great chance to save me which might not otherwise occur.

    Killers shouldn't be able to hit survivors EVER because of how toxic it is. They should replace the hit animation with a poke or gentle push. I'm sick and tired of killers hitting me, it's totally unwaranted and should never of been implemented into this game. It's 2021 hitting people is WRONG, and TOXIC.

    Imagine not being able to leave a game because you made the killer mad and he decides to hit you on the hook for 15 mins

    I wouldn't have it pause the timer but making the cooldown longer would help the teammates save the person if the killer is sitting there being rude

    Killers would eaither just stop doing that or abusing it to be toxic for even a longer time.
