Purposefully bleeding survivors to death should be a punishable offense.

Couldn't you just… not go for the 4k? Unless you're going for specific challenges or achievements, I see no reason not to hook and move on. You're going to get to hatch first the overwhelming majority of the time anyways. It's not worth your time.

I have had a few of these in the last week, just had a knockout killer attempting to bleed us out but failing as I think my team mates were a SWF so Knockout didn't do much.
I will say it again as I have said many times, there needs to be a 'concede' option when everyone is slugged and there is no perk to get anyone up. This would remove a lot of the incentive for trolling for the immature kids who continue to do this, as wasting 4 minutes of their own time bleeding out bots isn't probably going to do it for them.
Edit: I know slugging isn't reportable but some of these are doing so to intentionally grief others which I am sure is reportable.

I believe this is a punishable offense, if the killer is able to kill you but chooses not to and wastes your time (key words) which is technically holding the game hostage, therefore a reportable offense. It may not be a permanent thing like killer bodyblocking in a corner, but its still ignoring main gameplay.

Knockout is absolute trash and shouldn't exist. It doesnt even do anything against SWFs, so it just screws over solo survivors who are already fighting an uphill battle.
Slugging in general, though. As long as there are ways that survivors can take advantage of a survivor being picked up, from blinds to pallet slams to sabotaging hooks, the killer should never be punished for avoiding those situations by being forced to pick up the survivor.
I know the base kit unbreakable was scrapped, but I do see some merit in it, but not sure how to implement it without it being too strong.3 -
You are incorrect. The killer slugging you will eventually kill you, so it does not count as slugging. If you want to get technical about it, the max duration of a match is 60 minutes, so overall being slugged on the ground is only 6.66% of the total match time.
You are free to dislike it, and there are good reasons to dislike it, I absolutely hate it at times, but it is not reportable.2 -
I don't have the data but I suspect that survivors who do things like DS get slugged more.

Doing so with the intention to grief is not reportable.

How often does all survivors getting slugged and left to bleed out actually happen realistically? I've seen this like once in a couple hundred games..if even that. This happens so rarely that it doesn't even feel like a topic worth talking about honestly.
I feel like it's more often used as a guise because people just don't like slugging and want it nerfed. Painting it up as unsportsmanlike game play is a tool to get that. What they really want to say is just that they think slugging is too strong and want it nerfed, but that won't convince people because it's not. Not always, but generally what I feel like I see.

I'd gladly PM my profile if you think I'm just a survivor trying to get slugging nerfed.
That's beyond the point anyhow, seeing as I'm not asking for a nerf but a punishment for players bleeding survivors out with explicit malicious intent. Sure, it isn't particularly common.0 -
What would PM'ing your profile show?
"That's beyond the point anyhow, seeing as I'm not asking for a nerf but a
punishment for players bleeding survivors out with explicit malicious
intent. Sure, it isn't particularly common."It is much more reasonable since you're not asking for a nerf to slugging, I agree. I personally wouldn't mind if they did make those scenarios against ToS myself, but they're currently not since they don't break any rules. Would be kind of hard to prove as well. What if he was just like, well I couldn't find them on the ground? It's a bit messy.
How often are you saying you actually see this 4 man slug with being left for everyone to bleed out?
1 -
I wonder how can you even know people have explicit malicious intent
3 -
Yeah that's kind of my point as well. Even if they wanted to add it to the bannable offenses it would be very hard to enforce because it would be difficult to prove.

Griefing literally is one of the in game reporting options
0 -
Because their definition of griefing is limited to:
'Working with the opposite team to gain an advantage or grief teammates
Targeting specific users repeatedly in order to ruin their game experience
Holding the game hostage'
Bleeding survivors out does not satisfy any of these.

So every tbagging survivors should be penalized too?
1 -
It is. Why it is matters why the killer slugged? The point is that you are on the ground for 4 minutes max. If it is because there is no hook, or he do not want to risk a hatch espace, or because he is angry, or because he hates your name… The outcome is the same. And the same things can counter it.

This thread was about slugging for a bleed out, which some people were arguing constitutes hostage holding since it forces players to spend several extra minutes in a game they've already lost with no agency to leave or do anything else.
So, if a survivor finds a way to use teabagging to force the killer to stay in a match for several minutes after the killer has already lost (in a way that parallels the way that slugging for a bleed out, while removing the killer's ability to do anything) then the survivor should be penalized, yes.
(Edit: I want to clarify, I don't think either should be penalized, I think survivors should have a way to voluntarily end the game if they're being slugged for a bleedout. In the original post I made, I was explaining how one might detect malicious bleedouts without punishing regular slugging. This post was meant to illustrate why comparing bleed outs to teabags was not a good point of comparison)

My answer is to a post if you actually read it is about the move forward and backward on the slugged survivor. So i tried to show how entitled and one sided it is. Somehow everybody always want to punish the killer for doing something. So if that should be bannable, the other one should be too. And not the bleed out, that post was about something else.
I think if survivors should bleed themself out it would be unfair. I mean many times you have to manage even the slugging, so they wouldn't get a lucky hatchescape. I understand that it can be unfunny for 4 minutes, but bullysquads and others are unfunny too, and a killer cannot even bleed himself out just disconnect or wait in a corner while they get bored.

And your attempt to demonstrate that just so happened to miss a whole lot of context, so I explained the context you missed.
I don't understand how you argue that killer players ought to be able to keep slugs in the game, while complaining about bully squads being able to keep killers in the game. Surely either both are OK or neither are OK. In my opinion that double standard would be far more entitled than anything I said.
