Abandon Situations For Killer To Soften Hacker Abuse

Most of us know that server side checks are needed but came up with "band aid" abandon situations to mitigate matches that are being plagued by blatant hackers that are more so holding the game hostage rather then ending it quick

Abandon situation Idea
1st - If the killer is stunned more then twenty times (or max amount of pallets on map) - This would only come into effect when blatant hackers are insta stunning the killer and locking them in place.
I think it would be rare to see in a normal match unless killer is doing spirt fury build AND someone has any means picking up all the pallets they can. farming killer can choice not to abandon.

2nd - If someone is not hooked after 10 mins - Similar to the current abandon after gens have not been done. This is aimed to target the hackers that disable the ability too hook as well as letitng the killer choice to wait it out and not hook anyone if there are just hackers ruining the game.
Doing all Gens baseline take seven and a half minutes and if non hacking survivors are worried about killer being able to abandon could "gift" a down as they would already be winning 10 mins in with no hooks.

3rd - Abandon option after End game has ended - I've seen some hackers be able to hold the killer in a match after the timer has gone off, If possible a failsafe abandon option can be put after it so if someone does get stuck after the end game timer due to a hacker they can just abandon

I don't primarily play killer but I don't think its fair on them at all when they are stuck in a match where they are basically being held hostage, survivors at least get abandon after all are slugged which I have not seen a slugging killer hacker since then.
This idea is more so trying to give more ideas that might be able to be implemented into the game if they cant do server side checks. Does not address all forms of hacking but tried to address "holding the killer hostage" sorta hacking I've seen while also trying to account for it accidentally going off during normal gameplay.

    Getting stunned/blinded 5 times should be enough, as it only happens when the killer is being actively bullied, should be fair considering the freedom of abandon survivors have.

    Exit gates being powered should also be a valid reason, as the game is basically over for the killer, but the survivor still will drag it on for 2 more minutes of teabagging, it's literally the mirror situation of survivor's "free DC if slugged". They say they value players' time, but in reality they only value survivors' time, as only they got the abandon while killers in the same situation still have to either wait for 2 minutes or eat the DC penalty.

    These abandon ideas are not if the killer is getting bullied, they are for if the killer is being abused by hacker.

    I don't think abandons should be normalized in regular matches for killer until there is a killer bot but making situations where they can abandon from a hacker I find fair. there is no killer bot so its harder to give killer abandon during normal gameplay without ruining a lot of matches.

    Its shame that one player has to be there and endure being harrassed by cheater and than held hostage and if he leaves it counts to his time ban.
