What to do when your forced to tunnel?
I know what your gonna say "you don't have to tunnel what you mean?!" Well funneling has been a thing for a while and im glad scott brought alittle attention to it because it happens to me a good bit as well. (Ill put the video below). As he said you hook a survivor and see another with bbq so you head over there to find noone they could have sprint bursted away had spinechill and hid or whatever. You kick the gen and the survivor is now unhooked. You head back to the hook to get the unhooker and see noone but the previously unhooked survivor running away or their scratch marks lead you to them because the other survivor walked away had urban evasion or whatever. Am i supposed to just ignore the survivor since noone else wanted to take aggro and they are kinda the best option? Or the recently unhooked survivor doesnt know to cover their tracks and kinda lead me back to them because of their own mistake? Not like i wanna tunnel but doesnt seem like im given any other option in that scenario. Most of the time in those cases i just slug but then apparently im even more of a jerk then tunneling? So is there any pro survivor way to handle this im just interested.
Edit:i saw the other post but i just wanted to save people some time and explain my side instead of just posting the video.

Jesus christ just do whatever you want. The constant hand wringing on this forum about "what should I do when..." and "is it okay to..."
Don't cheat. Don't exploit. Don't harass. That's it.

If that situation happens when there is an obsession, I'd simply slug and go chase someone else/pressure gens. If there is no obsession I'd simply down and hook them again (depending on how good they are in a chase).
Nothing wrong with that. Who really cares if the survivor sticks around to call you a tunnler?

First I go check my rule book, then consult a myriad of streamers who condemn tunneling but can be seen doing it regularly.

When you've played survivor enough, you know you've had situations where the unhooked guy takes off across the map at the speed of light. What do you do in that situation? Killer sees him, where did you hide?
Next time you play killer, look in that spot and smack the hidden rescuer. Unless the unhooked 4%'d, he's there somewhere.

I like to slug as a warning. Everybody gets one, except Nea.

just chase the survivor?
im not gonna drop all my map pressure just because they are coincedentally the only only one i found.
do i feel bad for them? yes.
do i still do it? absolutely. not doing it can easily cost me the match.

As a killer, I try not to tunnel as much as possible, but it's unavoidable sometimes. Usually the first person to get hooked is either not great or unlucky. If its the former, they will probably make a mistake that will lead them to me again.
As a survivor, I seem to be tunneled more frequently. Am I doing something wrong? Sometimes yes, but i don't think its the case most of the time my teammates will unhook me, but don't want to stay too long because I'll attract the killer with cries and bleeding.
But let me tell you I had a great match yesterday vs a clown. He kept going after me and gates were opened and my team of randoms wouldn't let me go. They blinded him and stayed behind me to body block as I entered the gates. This is what a team is supposed to be. Its infuriating to killers because the survivors are very strong when not just working the objectives but working together.
As a killer I would've sworn I was playing a SWF but it was random people working together.

Just tunnel then. If you get hit by DS, accept defeat and know that it was the game's poor design that gave the survivors the win.

I slug them. If the game is progressing fast, I will hook them. But mercy when there seems time for it.

You think it's the game's fault you got hit by an anti-tunnel perk when you tunnelled a person off the hook? Slug them when you down them. Then think of the places where the other survivor that hit could be. Start thinking ahead in your matches and don't play on autopilot because that's how you lose.

That's weird to listen, because I never felt the need to "tunnel". The only thing I did when I couldn't find anyone aside from that person who got unhooked recently, I either ignored or downed and left him lying on the floor to get other people.

In this situation it's clearly a normal thing to do.
Like if the 3 other survivors stay around a hooked survivor you don't leave, against all logic, on the other side of the map only to not be called a camper.
Tunelling it's annoying for survivors and can be a waste of time for killer... But avoiding a survivor if it's you only choice doesn't make any sense.
