Is the reportable behavior??

Hello. Long time player here since 2017. A few months ago I took a break from DBD to focus on other games and came back this week for the first time in a while. I wanted to test out the new buffed Legion and got a random 4 stack SWF. They brought a map offering to send us all to Freddy’s school and the other 2 stacked hook distance offerings while the last used an offering to make basement spawn at killer shack. Then as soon as I found the first one they ran straight to the boiler room section of the school (the basement wasn’t here due to their offering) and because of the hook offerings I couldn’t get them to a hook from down there in time even if I broke the side walls because their Allie’s would also eat hits and body block me. I though ‘okay, that’s a little annoying but it’s fine I’ll just get the next guy’ only to realize….. they ALL were just camping in the boiler room now. None would run away from me, they’d just all stand as far from the exits as possible, and break off and run back over and over… ‘okay… I guess I’m forced to slug them, that’s annoying but what can I do?’ I thought. Nope. All four of them were running stacked up perks, everyone had Soul Guard for infinite self pickups (because I had Ruin) boil over to make Carrying that much harder, all has the unbreakable style boon that they’d keep setting up nearby, etc etc. so basically it was an endless loop of downing them and either trying to carry one away and failing or leaving them all down just for them to all pick themself up and start eating extra hits and teabagging me because of soulguard. This was basically the entirety of my match experience for like 20+ minutes until they FINALLY all bled out. Finally at the end they all messaged me a bunch of things about how I was garbage and to uninstall etc etc… You could argue that I should of just DC’d but I didn’t wanna get banned for quitting early. So… was this absurd behavior reportable/bannable?? I’ve literally never seen anything like this in over 3000 hours of experience in this game.


Edited because I had the wrong map name put down at first so it didn’t make sense.

    First of all, please add space for next time, it was hard to read.

    I don't think any in game behaviour except cheating (using 3rd party software to make it clear) is reportable.

    You ended make them bleed out, I would have done the same in this situation.

    I think you can at least report them for unsportmaship if they told you "you're garbage", "uninstall". Bhvr says they do something on people misbehaving, but I have no idea what the punishment is nor how relevant it is.

    To my knowledge, it wouldn't be reportable or bannable. It's just annoying gameplay that's technically fair, just unfun. They're not really progressing the game, but because they have a bleed out timer, they aren't really holding the game hostage, so it's just a waste of your time. I've had the same thing happen to me on Eyrie where they ran to the corner and when I hooked one of them on the only close hook, they had breakdown. All had no mither/soul guard as well. You just have to bleed them out and move on, don't pay much attention to them because they're running that build to bully the killer and waste their time.

    they were just using perks in the game.

    sounds like they were being cheeky about it, but as long as they weren't hacking, they don't seem to have done anything wrong.

    don't sweat it, if people are refusing to be hooked, they can have fun on the ground.

    Wow you are getting the old school dbd treatment where none of the hooks respawn after being sabotaged aside from basement hooks.

    That just sucks but yea it is not bannable because it is within their abilities and did not use any 3rd party tools.
