I did not sign up for a stressful PVP game to kill bots

That is a good thing, but it's becoming a problem of it's own now the instant all 4 survivors are slugged they have the freedom to go next as a convenience time save to jump into the next match while the killer has to stay and clean up the match or the killer just leaves as well so the whole end game gets skipped completely. Maybe If anything, i would suggest making it active after everyone is slugged or dead and 10-30 seconds pass with no one getting hooked.

The core issue isn’t “slugging vs teabagging.”
It’s the fundamental unfairness in the endgame experience:

When survivors lose, they get to go-next instantly—leaving behind empty husks controlled by AI.
But when killers win, they’re forced either to clean up the mess survivors left behind… or to abandon their victory entirely.

In contrast, when survivors win, they’re granted by devs the full right to enjoy their victory with endless teabagging dances and flashlight clicks, all from the safety of the exit gate, until they’re ceremoniously escorted out by the killer they just defeated.

Personally, I find this whole ritual hard to stomach. But apparently, some players manage to find joy in such pathetic loser routines—wandering around aimlessly, breaking leftover pallets, or politely seeing survivors off—all in the name of so-called “player agency.”
That very term—“agency”—has been weaponized by some survivor-aligned players to justify what is clearly a broken and deeply unsatisfying gameplay imbalance.

I’d genuinely like to hear the developers’ current thoughts on this dull and demoralizing endgame experience for killers.
Unless, of course, they rarely play killer themselves and have simply never had to feel it firsthand—in which case, their continued tolerance of this design would at least be somewhat understandable.

And you think its fun being constantly harrassed and basically scrutinized for simply losing a match? Sure we can oush them out but we still have to endure the tbaggs regardless after the stressfull matches. And yes killer is wayyy more stressfull then survivor can ever be

Endgame Collapse exists for these reasons. If survivors are intentionally waiting out the whole timer, use a killer that prevents them leaving when they are hit and run bloodwarden - they'll quickly be punished for not escaping when they had the chance

except most of those killers work only if survivor is injured already, and even then can be easily countered by heal tech

But apparently, some players manage to find joy in such pathetic loser routines—wandering around aimlessly, breaking leftover pallets, or politely seeing survivors off—all in the name of so-called “player agency.”

Everyone refuses to admit that tea-bagging survivors at the exit gates, waiting for the killer to push them out like 5-years-old children is also a waste of time.

Just because two things have some similarities doesn't mean they are the same. Just because two things are a problem, doesn't mean they are both a problem to the same degree.

No one is saying they love the gameplay of going around and breaking pallets. No one is saying they love to see off the teabagging survivors.

But those are things that exist. When comparing the level of the problem they need to be recognized. Being slugged was not just longer, it was far more pointless. Implementing a killer abandon is much trickier about where to draw the line

Its why the comparison comes off as silly to so many people. It's an asym, the sides are different, and trying to draw direct comparisons frequently won't work.

Its not but slugging is like someone breaking your leg in marathon knowing you cant run, tbagging in exit is like spiting into your face form place they know you cant do anything about it.

still won't stop heal tech

When survivors are subjected to inhumane treatment—like being slugged—they are, of course, granted the full right to leave the match instantly.
The devs’ stance: “Oh, how sad. Don’t worry. Let’s make sure you don’t waste any more of your time. You can even skip the killer’s execution scene—it’s not worth sitting through, after all.”

But when it comes to the mental strain placed on killers, the response is simply: “Addressing it would take effort—so let’s not. Just leave it as is. Who cares?”
The devs’ stance: “Stop whining. You still have ‘agency’—you can move, can’t you? So either chase the survivors out yourself, or stare at a wall for two minutes. Your choice.”

Because this is an asymmetrical game, viewpoints like mine—those that highlight this blatant double standard—are dismissed by so many “reasonable” players like you as nothing more than foolish and meaningless comparisons.

So, is that a fair reflection of what you mean to say?

You keep emphasizing the reasons why the abandon feature was implemented.
But perhaps it’s time to confront the actual outcome it has produced in today’s endgame matches.

Yes, the feature may have been added with good intentions—to protect survivors from prolonged slugging.
But what has it really led to?

Now, when survivors lose, they can instantly vanish—leaving behind an empty mess—while the killer is left to either clean up the bots or abandon the very match they just won.

Meanwhile, when the killer loses, nothing has changed. They still have to endure a humiliating, miserable two-minute wait, forced to watch as survivors dance, flash their lights, and bask in the full glory of victory.
Mercy for killers? A surrender option?
Don’t be absurd—that would diminish the survivors’ sense of triumph!

Is that truly a better outcome for the overall game experience?

You seem to be saying: “Yes, it’s a double standard. But it’s hard to fix—anyway, slugged survivors are at least more deserving of pity than killers left to endure the humiliation of being treated like losers. So really, the current mechanic isn’t that bad. Just stop complaining and deal with it.”

But if that’s not your view, then please be clear: What do you think about this experiential asymmetry?
Are you genuinely okay with things staying this way?

What do you think about this experiential asymmetry?

The whole game is asymmetrical. That's an awful place to approach it from. Is it good, or is it bad?

Even if both experiences are equally bad (which again, they aren't, even if they are both bad), fixing one does not make the other any worse than it was before.

Are you genuinely okay with things staying this way?

There's lots of things I'm not okay with. Some I understand are almost impossible to fix, some I understand are that different players want different things on, and a few I think BHVR is wrong on.

I think BHVR should do more to confronting bad manners and games that devolve into pointless gameplay. There are a few simple ideas I wish they would do, but I understand their are more complexities with most issues.

I have no problem with the concept of killers being able to abandon, just like I have no problem with many concepts in the game such as reducing gen rush or broader anti-tunnel, but talking about a concept is much different than talking about an implementation.

If they put a killer option in to abandon when the survivors are right at the exit line I'd be fine with it. I don't think it would have any overall impact, which gets to why it would be time on BHVR's part that wouldn't merit anything, but I'd be absolutely fine with it going in.

If they want to expand on the entire idea of the abandon concept, sure, I'd probably support it as well, but that would be a substantial shift from their current view of the game.

They are not the same, true. But both need to be acted on.

Except then each issue needs to be talked about on its own.

People don't like to be stuck in pointless games, but we all realize that it is inevitable in any multiplayer game there will be moments were it is inevitable. How long do people have to wait, how frequently does it occur, how much of a wait is it, and what other ramifications might fixing it have on the game?
