Why do killers phase through injured survivors at a hook?
Just had a game where I got tunnelled to death. My team tried taking hits for me to wiggle off. As soon as they were all injured the killer phased through them and hooked me on death hook.
Why does this exist? Why does body blocking at hooks only work for healthy survivors?

When survivors are hit they lose their collision for a few seconds so they can avoid being downed from cornering themselves between a wall and the killer. The killer used this to hook you.

No. They took hits one by one. It was more than a few seconds for the 2 that were injured after the 3rd just got hit. All of them were there together blocking the hook and the killer phased through them all...

How is this hard to understand? It's pretty simple.
I am wiggling at the hook, Adam takes a hit (he now has no collision like what @S_Panda said), Laurie then takes a hit (no collision too) then Ash takes a hit. Somehow, the killer phased through Adam and Laurie when they should've had their model collision back...

Then I can only assume they were mis-positioned since everyone was stacking on each other. Not the first time people make a mistake in dead by daylight.
Otherwise I hope you got a video of this hacker.

They were all staying where they were hit the first time.

From what I understood you were close to a hook, because not wiggling off with 3 body blocks means you're very close. For how the game works, you can body block a hook from two position: slightly behind the killer (in his hooking animation) or under the hook (where you can pull out the infamous """tech"""). My assumption is that either the two survivors who took the early hit were still compenetrate with themselves or the killer, which works like whatever game with I-frames, or just miscalculated the position.

All survivors have a collision so does the killer while carrying a survivor. If killer has already started hook animation, he will go through whoever is in his way healthy or not. All he needs for a hook is a prompt, so my guess is they didn't do it properly

Blocking at the hook works by standing where the hook prompt is. If that space is occupied, the killer can't get to the hook and so they don't get the option to hook the survivor. When they hit a survivor, they lose their collision and the killer can walk through them (and vice versa).
What likely happened is that the first survivor was standing directly under the hook. When the killer hit them, they were able to move through them and get inside of the hook prompt. The other survivor(s) were out of position and not obstructing the hook. Typically the mistake people will make is standing directly under the hook, which doesn't actually stop the killer from hooking them.

This clears it up for me. All of them were standing too close the hook and I guess weren't standing where you can to block the prompt.
Still doesn't stop me from being quite salty about being tunnelled even through DS and that happening when my wiggle was 90% :/
