Punishing mistakes vs being "toxic" or "scummy"
The word tunneling and camping and toxic gets thrown around a lot and I want to state from an unbiased pov what those term in the right context mean.
For killers, a survivor is not labeled as a toxic player unless they make it very obvious by gameplay or In end game chat their intend is to harass you i.e cursing and calling names in endgame chat, constantly teabagging and flashlight clicking, DCing early because your a specific killer or played a certain way. A survivor isn't toxic for flashlight saving you. You allowed the flashlight save to happen. They are punishing you for that. They aren't toxic for playing super altruistic in endgame with BT,UB,DS,SG. They are simply using the tools at their disposal. Same goes for doing gens, DOING THE OBJECTIVE IS NEVER TOXIC SO STOP THINKING IT IS. And there are something's that aren't inherently toxic. Like waiting for the killer at the exit gate. When me and my team do really well we will wait and tbag when the killer comes by but that's not to be toxic it's to let them get some more hit points. We let the killer get 4-8 hits to help get them some more bps. Don't look into everything as being toxic and you'll have much more fun. Also, LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES. If you keep getting flashlight saved and window teched and dumb teched then STOP FALLING FOR IT. The sooner you stop falling for it the better.
For survivors, a killer that tunnels or camps is not ALWAYS the killers fault. If the killer sees 1 or more survivors near the hook or scratch marks going to the hook he's going to search the area. He has a reason to be there. If he finds you and then you loop him next to the hooked survivor, the survivor is now being camped because of you. And he has every right to break chase and go back to the hook when someone saves because you kept him in the area. Also, if a killer downs the person off of hook and doesn't pick them up that's not tunneling either. The killer is actually being nice by leaving them on the ground and giving them a chance to be picked up. It's also a good trade off cause they have pressure on three survivors. One has to pick the downed person up, one is in chase, and one is down. That leaves one doing gens and that's really good for killer. If you farm your teammate and he slugs the person off hook then chases you he's punishing you for your mistake. Not being a dick. And even if he hooks the person that's still on you. If you unhook and the killer comes back to the hook and you stealth instead of taking the aggro for your injured and vulnerable teammate and they get tunneled that is again on you. Your job if they come back to the hook is to take aggro. And buy time for your team to get them to safety or do a gen. There's a lot of situations where it's actually your team's fault and not the killers. Obviously some killers do it to be a dick it's not a new thing. But looking out for what your teammates are doing will shift the blame off the killer and to your team a lot of the time. Killers who are tunneling for the sake of tunneling will throw the whole game chasing the same survivor. Same with camping. If a killer seems willing to throw a whole game to camp/tunnel they don't care about winning and just want to be a dick. If that's the case GTFO. Don't stick around do the gens and leave.
