DS Changes
Disclaimer: I run DS every game as survivor and will continue to do so after nerf, as any time I don't have it equipped I seem to attract the scummiest killers.
With DS being reworked (for better or worse), it is undoubtedly going to become much less popular. less people with DS means less matches with an obsession, and these matches will undoubtedly result in the killer going straight down to tunnel town. DS was so effective because Killers would often have to assume everybody had it, so even if nobody had it, an obsession in the match meant every killer proceeded with caution.
In light of the new changes, I think the obsession aspect of DS should be removed, or better yet, every match starts with an obsession regardless (even without perks, obsessions have a BP bonus) so the tunnel deterrent aspect of DS remains, seeing as now the only people who are really going to be impacted by it are killers who literally tunnel you straight off the hook.
Furthermore, the 60 second timer is probably obsolete now, and it should just be cancelled when carrying out an action, lest you get chased off the hook and still manage to outlast the timer, the killer still deserves the stab in the face no matter how much they suck in a chase.

The only people who don’t want an obsession in every lobby are the people who will tunnel every game with none

I’m in full agreement for an obsession every match, however I’d rather the timer stays at 60 seconds.

That is me, but do I still count if I tunnel when there is an obsession too?

If you tunnel either way fair enough
i just hate the people who tunnel only when they know they’ll have no repercussions

You would not believe how angry people get when I eat their DS early then tunnel them out later.
I do not hate people like that. They are just like Survivors who hug gens when there is no slowdown. They are just playing the game in the most beneficial way for them.

I just think it’s a bit mean since it’s most likely a group of solos anyway. If they are already beating you then by all means tunnel one out but if you’re already doing fine without tunnelling give everyone more points

I play on Console so I think most groups there are Duo's.

My experience from console is mostly solos honestly. I only play killer when queues are short though so that might impact it

eating the stun early just so you can tunnel them out later is kinda toxic. This is why I never run DS anymore because it almost makes no difference in my matches. All it is a 5 second stun and killers like spirit, billy and nurse can chase you back down in the matter of 2 seconds.

It either wins me games or makes me people throw and make fools out of themselves because they are tilted.

you know what that's fair

If you run DS no matter what, then there will never be no obsession.
Also have you considered that the reason killers tunnel when there is no obsession is because, depending on rank, its pretty uncommon for there to be no obsession.
A better solution than giving out an obsession for free, would be to make other obsession perks more viable.
