Should survivors under the effect of basekit BT lose collision?
I was thinking about how annoying it was that in the end game survivors can bumrush a hooked survivor, take a hit to get him off, and then the unhooked survivor just bodyblocks the killer and forces them to either hit the unhooked survivor instead of their intended target and everyone gets out, or hit no one and everyone gets out.
Suddenly had the idea to simply make unhooked survivors lose collision until their endurance wears off (via expirey or taking damage). Removes the frustration of a killer being unable to do anything with a survivor abusing their endurance and forcing the killer into a lose lose for not tunneling, and also means the killer cant just trap a survivor in a corner or bodyblock them over and over and wait out their endurance to force a down if they are tunneling.
What do you guys think?

I'd say yes to prevent survivors from intentionally body blocking killer and preventing them from chasing the unhooker but I guess certain people would find it unfair. To them, killer must deal with it and wait for BT to expire, or hit unhooked person and let both unhooker and unhooked escape.

Yes. No one who isn't a survivor that abuses this would not agree with this change.

I've never understood the reason people want this change. A survivor without collision can still be the target of an attack, even right now.
This will just add another layer of frustration for killers because the Kate you can't see clipping into your hitbox, but just in front of you, eats the hit with BT instead now.

How about just making Endurance not work for Protection hits?

This would fully disable BT, as any hit taken within that time will likely count as a protection hit.

Taking out collision though would prevent the rare occurrence were the killer body blocks the unhooked survivor to prevent them from escaping before the time elapses.
Aside from technical hurdles, I think it wouldn't really help the game. There isn't a lot to the end game of DbD once the doors are open. And unless the survivor was really close to the doors, they are taking a risk on BT running out.

You guys have no problem with tunneling and camping being legit strategies but want to take away survivors ability to use their BT hit as a strategy? 🤣🤣🤣 Y’all telling on yourselves big time. Just say you don’t ever want all survivors to be able to escape.
If you can camp a hook at endgame to ensure you get that kill, why can’t unhooked survivors take protection hits for each other during endgame to make sure they all escape?

Most hits that happen near anything that can be called a contested unhook will be a protection hit. Even if the survivors do it the safer and "right" way of having 2 people save where one takes a hit then another saves during the hit cooldown to prevent an instant trade, the person that took the hit might very well be close enough still for the killer to be able to instantly down the unhooked survivor due to it being a "protection" hit.
And that's without even touching on the wackiness protection hits can be involved in, like running into an injured survivor you had no idea was there. That'd be a super fun interaction (not), you have endurance (either base BT, actual BT or even Off The Record), run around a corner and whoops, injured Claudette chilling there. Guess that's a "protection" hit for you because she's near you!

Some people are not Killer mains I for one is a more Survivor main and I wouldn't mind stopping that.
I'm not going to be the Unhooker's personal shield because they want to unhook right in front of the Killer. There have been times that the unhooker deliberately put me between them and the Killer to force the Killer to hit me instead of them losing my BT protection.

I play survivor more and BT body block should not be a thing. Yes, BT body block is necessary against hard camping, but there are scenario like this:
- Survivor 1 on hook, survivor 2 unhooking. Survivor 3 loops killer nearby. It should be survivor 1 and 2 go away and get healing. Instead survivor 1 runs into the loops to body block for survivor 3.
- Or survivor 1 stand still body block at tight gap with a window nearby, so survivor 2 can run away, then survivor 1 vault window at the last second.

You realise this would help against tunnelling too, right? If you have no collision killers can't body block you to wait out your BT.
And if the killer is trying to go for the unhooker but you are body blocking, then you aren't really in a position to complain about tunnelling...

To be honest if someone bodyblocks me while im trying to go after the unhooker.. i'll just put you back to the hook. Don't cry tunneling after you didn't run away from the killer, it was your choice to stick around.

I'd say yes just because I'm tired of people bitching that I tunnelled them out of the match after they body blocked for their rescuer to the point of standing in a doorway.
As if that's a fair complaint in the slightest.
