Tunneling?
When your uninjured teammate without BT unhooks you directly in front of me because I was chasing them, why is it tunneling if I instantly down you and put you back on the hook?

It's the definition of tunneling, but in all honesty its the rescuer's fault. I hate when my teammates, BT or not unhooks in front of the killer for no reason.

It's not. That's just a dumb ass teammate. One of the most infuriating things about solo survivor. If that happens to me, know I'm spectating and cheering you on.

Its genuinely illogical for me to hit the uninjured person in that scenario, even if he has borrowed time because the chances of me getting another hook on the injured person is much higher.

Say if the rescuer was on death hook, would you rather go for the person who just got unhooked, or the rescuer who's dead hook?

Let me ask you a very fair question:
If they had BT would you continue to chase that unhooked survivor?

Most satisfying thing is following that survivor to a locker and they bleed out thinking I'd fall for their DS.

Most likely the person that's injured. Especially since if the rescuer dumb enough to rush an unhook I can most likely down them later. I will usually down the unhooked person and start a chase with the rescuer, but if it's going to take me too far away I'll go back for the downed person.

That isn't the definition of tunneling. The definition of tunneling is absentmindedly chasing a single survivor. You tunnel vision onto the single survivor preventing you from thinking or seeing correctly, thus the term tunneling.
Going for a weaker survivor when it makes sense isn't tunneling.

I think the term for what he means is "tunnelling off the hook". But I don't see what the issue is with going after the obviously injured Survivor. What incentive do I have to go after the fully healthy person except the Survivor's Rulebook For Killers™ says I should?

Downing a survivor who just got unhooked isn't tunneling?

Naw true tunneling includes camping the single survivor on the hook, the second you chase another survivor you aren't tunneling

I mean like constantly going for the unhooked survivor.

Sounds like tunneling to me but okay go off.

It's still tunneling, but it's the teammate's fault. Personally, I prefer to punish the unhooker than the person who got unhooked, since its not their fault for getting unhooked.

Can we coin a term for Survivors? It's a little unfair that they can just camp generators and instantly start tunneling the exact same ones after I damage them. They should really run to another Generator whenever I do that, otherwise it's no fair on the Killer.
I was thinking something like "The Survivor's are pulling a double standard again" as a phrase, but we should workshop it a bit.

People not using ds get what is coming to them while playing solo q. The problem is they damage the team as much as the farmer.

Yes I explained the original definition of tunneling in this game. If you want the definition of tunneling to just be going after a survivor who was recently hooked then that's a different story.

Or you know, you can play well and be good at looping instead of relying on perks.
0 -
You can but you will go down and sometimes get farmed and compromise the team. If you are bad at looping ds won't save you if you get tunneled of the hook but your team will get a little time at least for gens. That is just my opinion tho you can use whatever you like. I am just observing my teammates and seeing people rehooked immediately after unhook. That is not optimal. Instead of blaming farmers we can be prepared for situations like that. I don't know any person who was never farmed of the hook in solo q.

It is, but Killers right now can't afford to chase everytime a different survivor to go for 12 unhooks, unless there is a big skill cap between the killer and the survivors.
If you chase a different survivor everytime, you'll get rushed. Killers have to focus in 1 or 2 survivors to drop them off the game asap.
