Killer blocks hook when they grab survivor trying to save
This has happened to me about 5 times now. A killer camps the hook. 2 or 3 teammates gather around to try to save. One goes for the save and gets grabbed. During that time another teammate tried to save but cant. No prompt. The killer is too close and blocks the save. This results in 3 downs. Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Nope The killer played it well
When I try that, my grab gets converted to a hit and everyone gets away. :/
I dont think this should be allowed. All it does is benefit campers even more. The killer should not be able to block hook saves. THe fact that they can do it while stopping another save with the grab is ridiculous. This should be looked at.
Survivors can save from multiple angles. What more do you want? The Killer can't block every angle, so clearly you did something wrong.
So unless the Killer plays it super perfect, three survivors can 100% save their teammate and get away. Is this fair? You call it unfair when the Killer manages to defend his hooked survivor. How would you solve the problem? The extremes and outliers always show the weak spots in a system, but you must also look at all the things it does right.
A killer has to fight hard for his hooks, very few survivors go down without a fight and a hefty time investment, and time is the most precious currency that killers have. And that's why a hook that's taken away hurts a lot.
One survivor can unhook another one savely when the killer is away, if he is nearby they can only trade, most of the time.
Two survivors can nearly always unhook and rescue a team mate, while 3 is nearly guaranteed.
That's why killers will strive to turn the 4v1 into a 3v1 asap. Then the remaining team must decide if they want to risk an unsave unhook or not, but they can't do both and stay on repairing a gen. With a 4v1 they can have the cake and eat it.
Depending on the hook in question sometimes the killer can wholly bodyblock one side and control the flow of the survivors around it, but that's not a given. Its far more likely for the rescuers to breach through and get away with everyone.
So this are just some mechanics and principles behind hooks and unhooking.
Tell em.
Peeps are always saying that I am writing bills, but I would say that it's just the optimal amount of text in order to get my thoughts across :>
I feel that and I honestly stopped trying to do that and just try to get the savior downed before they get far away from the hook
