Body Blocking Hooks

Remove it. It has ZERO counterplay and is entirely unfair for killers. Once again I'm shocked that this was let into the game for survivors to abuse. Whoever is responsible for this needs to be reviewed. I don't think a single person could bring up any logical arguments as to why body blocking hooks should be a thing, because it SHOULDN'T be a thing. Not in its current state.

    As a killer player it’s totally counterable, worst case scenario drop the survivor you’re carrying and get the other one, most of the time though you can literally just hook the survivor even if another survivor is in front of the hook you just gotta get in a position to get the prompt. Then you have a survivor who wasted a bunch of time not on gens and is now gonna get chased immediately. So it’s to your benefit most of the time.

    Of all the problems in DBD, this is your number one?

    I feel that many players who complain about things just came out a game where exactly this thing happened. Does not matter if they won 20 games before that or anything.

    Irritating as it is, I think there's no need for removing it in any way
