Body Blocking (While playing killer)
I play your game a hell of a lot and I just wanna ask a few things, when we can report players at the end of toxic behaviour, does anything ever get done about it?
Only asking this because, every game I head into now I am playing against toxic players, those toxic players doing stuff like body blocking (while I am a killer) to stop be hooking someone. I almost had these guys dead on hook and they always seem to win because of these exploits, this behaviour includes tea bagging, body blocking, and preventing me to actually play the game because they can stop you from doing those things.
I don’t know if that’s down to a tactic or just general toxicity?
Your game seems to never change that player base. Will there be anything to stop this happening in the future like toxic players been banned or have a reputation system like “Rainbow Six: Seige” ????

Body blocking isn't reportable if a survivor does it. It is part of the game lol. You win the game with teamwork, taking hits is ultimately just that. Not an exploit in the slightest.

How in the WORLD is a survivor body blocking a killer? 🤣 A killer can just hit the survivor.
Reportable body blocking is when a killer and or another survivor body blocks a survivor in place as there is nothing they can do to get out of that situation.
Teammate body blocks (aka protection hits) are encouraged and there are even perks that only activate by taking a protection hit for another person.
I can’t believe you have been reporting teammates for taking protection hits. The poor devs. 🙈

General rule of thumb: if it hurts survivors then it's a bad thing; if it hurts the killer then who cares.

You got it backwards.

bodyblocking as killer is very unfun.

Only because I said it.
If anyone else had said it, it would be true.
Give me an example of it being backwards.
Both sides do the same thing, but it's only reportable if the survivor does it. Tell me.

If you really have allot of games where people are body blocking use the perk mad grit. The wiggle timer stops everytime you hit someone.

The "reasons" in the report screen are very general and unspecific and need a rewrite. The bodyblocking that's actually against the rules is the kind that involves taking the game/a player hostage, like
- Killer finds all remaining survivor(s) in a room with one door, blocks them there and goes afk
- Killer blocks someone "to kill them with EGC" when there's still like 3 gens left
- Survivors find some weird map bug and block the killer in a way that doesn't let them hit them
- Survivor blocks another survivor in a corner and keeps them there for ages
Taking hits for another survivor or a killer like Hillbilly catching a survivor in a corner and keeping them there while readying a chainsaw is NOT against the rules.
Also not toxic imo, just team play (that people often overdo and horribly die as a result of)

Thanks for contributing a rage dump to the forums. As though the place didn't stink enough already.
