    Everyone is playing the new Survivor and doesn't have perks... also the new Killer rarely gets more than 3-4 hooks the entire match so its harder to tunnel since he's so awful in chase

    nobody really has ds due to ptb being stupid and not having everything unlocked beforehand so

    I barely see survivors bring the new character out. Maybe one out of 4 but the rest still bring in their meta perks with their main survivor.

    Nope. Looks like survivors are starting to miss their precious crutch.

    I mean I don't tunnel off hook so no, not really. Often if they go and do other things I am chasing someone else and DS is off cooldown by the time I get them anyways.

    This just punishes the ones that like, jump on a gen and stay there with no fear, and if you do come for them they jump in a locker. They can't do that anymore so 10/10 imo.

    I didn't notice an increase in tunneling whatsoever either. Actually, if anything, there may have been less tunnels because killers were trying to get that 4 unique hook perk active xD

    Had a game just now. Tinkerer proc'd and a meg who I recently hooked was working on it. If it was old DS I would have waited because I was unsure. Had no hesitation picking her up this time.

    Also blight can finally see properly and his bounces are very predictable now. Good job BHVR

    I got hit by it once when I went out of my way to tunnel a fresh unhook in the hopes of DS for more remember me stacks with my endgame build, since my obsession killed themself on second hook (and me downing him with knifes on accident two times, thus no stacks). Otherwise? Nope.

    I just got hit by DS. But tbh the survivors were just trolling around and running around the hooked girl. One person apparently had DS and jumped inside a locker. The important thing though is that this DS didn't affect my momentum at all and I wasn't forced to grab him. That's a good sign.

    Oh boy, I'm gonna enjoy using DS for my survivor builds once the chapter releases. I'm glad it's finally a true anti-tunnel perk and not a 1-minute shield.

    I played a couple of games, didn't get hit with DS. But it's a PTB and people tend to be way more chill.

    Yeah even though it's still possible to get hit by a 59s or suicide DS, now it's not as bad since you either KNOW that the survivor was unproductive the entire time OR they really wanted to DS for the meme by forcing it, but it barely wastes any time if they do that.
