For the devs

Is killers slugging and bleeding you out while taunting bannable and can I report it? Had a wraith bleed out me and one other while ringing bell, doing the humping bit, holding the game hostage until we both bled out. No there wasn't any toxic behavior from any survivors just a normal game.

    It's not bannable or reportable. They don't consider it hostage taking since you're actively bleeding out so the game will end in a few minutes. I just walk away from the game and find something else to do in that situation. Let them amuse themselves.

    I either need an instant bleedout button or there needs to be a penalty for this. It's obsurd how often it happens.

    This is just one of many reasons I don't like playing as survivor.

    When would the option to bleed yourself out pop up in your ideal world?

    People would use that as just another, quicker way to DC in solo Q i fear.

    I disagree with this. For one thing survivors only bleed out when they’re slugged. For another, that survivor who would hypothetically bleed themself out for not making a loop could just… die on hook seconds later unless the killer intended on slugging them for four minutes. Which is absurd.

    I think they could possibly make it work under certain circumstances. Maybe like it doesn't kick in until all survivors are downed, and it could work like the anti-facecamp mechanic, in that it speeds up the closer you and the killer are to each other. As that way it's more clear that the killer has had ample time to pick you up but is choosing not to.

    Ultimately though I doubt the devs would introduce a bleed out option. Probably not worth the money and resources to save players a couple minutes at most.

    Sadly, I have to agree.

    I think these are problems that are humanbased. We need to be better.

    If you play a match in a multiplayer game, you should be aware, that the other side also tries to win. Sometimes by any mean necessary. Bming should not have a place.

    A great addition would be a replay option, to record in game Behaviour and report them for unsportsmanlike Behaviour.

    Other changes could easily result in abusable situations and therefore create more problems that they try to fix.

    I do feel that sort of behaviour should be reportable, but sadly I do not believe the devs consider this an offence under the act of slugging.

    This is quite funny - to consider slugging not a bannable offence, yet still include it in the tickets as a punishable offence. I can see why some get confused as this does not help. I have sent that concern to their feedback.

    I do feel they need to look at certain actions which are clearly bm'ing and also the very specific scenarios they can be associated with (as an example, teabagging to distract a Killer into chasing a Survivor should not be punishable).

    In situations like that I would prefer a bleedout button (and for all I care killers can get a the-entity-shoos-survs-out-the-gate-button) to not enable people to execute their petty and childish revenge / to deliberately waste other people's time for the sake of wasting their time.

    If all survs are downed there's no reason to crawl around for five minutes. It takes about five seconds to see if someone has UB or something to try and turn the tables. (And if a killer isn't planning on hitting anyone once the exit gates are opened there's no reason or them to have to wait out a timer.)

    Insisting on bleeding survs out is behaviour that serves no constructive, productive, or otherwise remotely positive purpose. Therefore it should be removed. The basekit UB was a failed attempt. - The next best thing is for players to not be forced to play along with it and wait it out but to allow them to politely nope out.

    Personally i think slugging just with the intention to BM is really, really rare - at least in my games.

    BM also doesn't make much sense, as the killer has way less time to that.

    Most of the time i blame hatch, it's a slugging build or the killer takes advantage having a another down near the hook.

    Slugging can be a big part of pressuring survivors. And don't forget survs have also tools to try to counter it.
