Heal teching is an exploit and nobody is talking about it

I was thinking more picking up the downed survivor, with the pushing aside being to prevent them from immediately going for a flashlight save while the killer is animation locked. I would also be ok with the survivor who gets pushed aside taking a health state for trying to abuse it.

The issue is forcing the blade wipe and allowing the crawling person to gain distance, its a forced lose/lose that people use to let slugs crawl out the exit.

having a swf to keep congo line healing and taking hits is not even remotely the same as misrouting a loop and I honestly don't know what logic you could use to compare the two. also your argument is based on "the killer making a mistake and paying the price" and their mistake was.... downing a survivor? having other survivors exist and be able to heal each other? you could at least try to use bodyblocking or other similar strategies as a comparison point.

Oh, and speaking of, remember when myers could bodyblock people and stalk them for free? It was their fault for getting trapped, but yeah, that got removed.

alright, you don't understand balance as a concept, got it. I'll stop trying to make sense of it.

"not being in that situation* is not a counter, and you're expecting an entire perk to be able to counter a jank interaction that bhvr refuses to address. Not only that, but STBFL only does anything if you have stacks, and you lose stacks for hitting the obsession, so its not even a reliable counter. I guess you need to also run fire up to give it some forced value in that situation, right? You've been factually wrong multiple times in trying to make your argument, and the rest relies on forcing perks or "just git gud idk" instead of actually considering the interaction might be flawed in its current state.

The exit gate scenario is literally the only one people are concerned with it. if people keep staggering little heals vs a slug all that does is let you reset their progress by waiting and smacking them the second the heal finishes (and hoping theres no soul guard in play.) The reason people call it "heal tech" is because like anything with -tech thrown at the end, its something players do to exploit an advantage (read: not the same as exploiting the game) in a design oversight. FoV tech, for example, is when you get so close to the killer that their low FoV makes you considerably more difficult to see and keep track of. Many people (myself included) have both seen and used the exit gate strategy to deny late kills, usually after one or more survivors take a bodyblock or two to make sure the injured one reaches the gate in time to do it.

That said, your insistance on "If you really want the kill that bad put your back into it and down the guy before he reaches the point of no return." means you're ok with removing all second chance perks/items/etc from the game, right? Why is BT basekit now and the perk version buffed even more than it used to be when it both bails you out from a bad play by design, but also requires you to have been outplayed to get there in the first place? Could it be that there are other factors that are more important?

almost never bruh ive personally done it 5 times in the past few weeks and i hardly ever play, and only do solo at that.

Anyway enjoy your mental gymnastics, you very clearly are unwilling to take any other perspective than your own.

That's not the same, you can grab the survivor, but you can't interact with the object (kick gen or hook a survivor). In this thread's instance, the items being interacted with is the downed survivor, so you can't pick them up. It would be more logical if you were able to grab the healing survivor, but healing is an exception to the rule for whatever reason it is.
