Working with the killer is the new normal?

For the last couple of days, every third game happens to have one survivor who intentionally sells out his teammates and leads the killer to them, after which the killer lets him go as a "thank you" for ez game. It happened before, but much more rare, now it looks like some kind of new meta in soloQ or something. Have you noticed the same pattern? Why is it happening?

    Well it’s supposed to be against the rules but I doubt BHVR enforces this one. I guess because matches are kind of grim for survivors some are just messing around.

    Honestly, I Don't really care anymore at this rate if the killer is lead to me. Most survivors with Bond I encounter end up leading the killer to me so that they can get the pressure taken off of them but end WHILST healthy. If the killer ends up finding me I'll make sure to give them a good dance before my impending doom. Hopefully if it's Haddonfield, I can run them on those house windows and maybe the killer will give up. Now if the survivor is actively sandbagging me and helping the killer out in that way or just pointing to my locker I'ma be upset.

    I usually smack the rat and down them for it and let the other run. No reason to sell ur teammates out. I don't want an ez game.

    I experience this maybe 1 out of 50+ games, probably even more.

    New meta? No way. You being unlucky? Most likely.

    Oh yeah, just teach them how to play better by not killing yourself on the hook. Thats the advice I was given on this topic.

    I rarely see that, not even once a month and I play killer almost every day. Unless the other survivor was not helping his team (it happens) the little rat goes down on the spot.

    I've never experienced this situation as survivor (nor as killer).

    What I see mostly are people who aren't running Bond and who just don't know their teammate are working in the direction they're being chased into.

    Or survivors giving up in the end (not running from killer, intent on dying on hook to give hatch to the last teammate) and killer deciding to let them live/go for the other instead. It happens sometimes to me, if there's just 2 of us left, on death hook, and 3 gens to go, I just know it's a hiding game and that's boring for everyone involved. In these cases I either walk up to the killer to end the match, or not run if killer comes at my gen. Some killers hook me, some don't, but no snitching.

    Yes, it has increased. Take a video the moment you see them start, afterwards report both.

    I did it the last time a survivor sat at the basement the whole time (i had bond), then lead the killer to me, who hooked me, then the 3rd surviving guy, then let the hidder go. Afterwards he claimed he expected the hidder would rescue us from the hook, and he just wanted to farm.

    Might be, might not, thats for the support to decide.

    Today it's been happening every other game, I think I'm gonna count the statistic now. This is madness, cannot be just my luck.

    Unfortunately I cannot afford to spend half an hour on this hustle after every other game, knowing very well it probably won't do anything, since I've never hear about anyone getting banned for this. I want to play DbD, not work in it.

    I'm afraid the only workaround for now is just blocking them on steam and checking profiles every time in the lobby, but then again, it doesn't save from the globes.

    Yeah, me thinks this is a luck issue as well.

    I saw quite a few instances of killers working with one of the survivors to help kill the three other survivors on Xbox throughout 2018. Don't think I've seen it since. And I've been playing more solo que in the last month-and-a-half than I have in the entire 4+ years I've been playing this game.
