Using Bond Offensively
What really irks me are survivors who use Bond offensively. What I mean by this is the fact that survivors have Bond, a perk that reveals the auras of allies that are nearby in a certain radius, and, once they see you, run at you while bringing the killer with them, hoping to pass aggro at you. Now, once or twice in a match is random, but when it's constant? Not cool. What says everyone?

I don't think I've ever ran into someone who has done this intentionally but sounds like a bad teammate UNLESS it's used to call out survivors who love to hide all game and not even try to take the slightest aggro.
Like c'mon if several of your teammates are dead on hook, wanna be cool and take a hit?

I doubt the chances of a possible Teaming with the killer, and using bond intentionally to rat out the teammates, but sometimes... they do it, because they are not good at chase and need others to take the hint and be the main attention to the Killer.... or they are injured and need a teammate to take the protection hit to give a chances to recover and be safe...
Of course, it would be absolutely different and a bad player move to used bond and constantly draw the killer to the gens with the most progress or teammates whom are more vulnerable and injured, and make it difficult. Not only that is the wrong way to used Bond, but it can be a used to be a team killer, if you lure the Killer towards survivors whom are closer or on Death hook.

Your second point of constantly bringing the killer to gens that are almost done, injured teammates, etc is exactly what i mean. I'm talking about survivors that seem to run at other people to shake a killer rather than just be better at chase.

If it is a problem, one idea I have in mind; is make it Bond bit more complex like...
If the the Survivors running Bond is being chase, and they go near a Survivor... the game will do a Quick check if
The Survivor has completed good amount of progress, about over 50% of it; and if they detect injured teammates. If the following is applied, then the aura reading is not available and is Hidden.
It would be a buff/yet nerf; to make the perk less exploitable to "hunt" Survivor when in chase.

I'm pretty sure it's the same person making this same topic over and over because I have literally never seen this

I run bond the for the exact opposite reason, so I do not bring the killer to worked on gens or healing teammates, etc. But, I've seen lots of streamers using it to bring the killer to "unproductive" teammates.

That is solo queue, you can face some people that play like.
It's not really the perk's fault but yeah it's really annoying and makes me curse a lot to those players in that moment

Everytime I have someone running Bond or Empathy in my lobby that's exactly how they play - run the killer directly at teammates instead of away. They'll do it to a teammate on death hook meanwhile they haven't been hooked once because they constantly lead the killer to everyone else. It's why I never want those perks added as basekit - too many survivors in solo q use it to screw over their teammates.

But Bond, Overcome, Self-Preservation and Reactive Healing is one of my favourit builds. >:D

Just because you have never seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. It's like saying you have a spoonful of water in your hand but that there's no sharks in the ocean because there are no sharks in your spoon.
