Tunnel the Leon?

I've mained Jake since I got this game 4 years ago, I decided to spend 4 pound and purchased Leon (not a RE fan) I just fancied a go with the flashbangs and he's a cool character imo.

3 games as him and I'm the first found and tunnelled in all 3, before I even got to use the first flashbang against each. Was PH, Legion and Wraith. The last 2 just didn't leave me alone although I gave the Legion the round around for a large part of my last life.

Do Leon's get hated on much? As killer im wary of his flashbangs but I don't see the need to pick on him

    Leon players are nice and Leon is adorable.

    I got tunneled because i used his perk once and other times it was because of bad chases, bad spawn.

    I'm sure it's just bad luck.Β

    I constantly get tunneled when I play Leon, but I honestly can't tell if that's more than usual or not.

    Was just tunneled again after I landed a direct hit with a flashbang, sent him spinning. I deserved that one πŸ˜…

    He's public enemy number 1 atm

    It's because 99% of Leon's are trash, they are the new Claudetts, but worse, much worse.

    Personally, it's due to flashbang. It's like the Blendette with the flashlight that'll follow me in a chase, just to try for the blind. I've noticed Leons try the same thing. So, I'll force them out of the game.

    Idk if its like this for anyone else but to me Leon just kind of stands out compared to other survivors. When I see multiple people and am just looking for someone to focus on he's the one that usually catches my attention. He's just more noticeable in general.

    3 games isn't that big of a sample size. I'd suggest getting more in before a proper conclusion can be made.

    I haven't really noticed more tunneling and I main Leon. My Steam name is even Daddy Leon, lol.

    Maybe that's why I get put in the basement and camped so much? 🀨

    I don't tunnel Leon's but I think the reason they might be getting tunneled is because of his flashbang

    Same happened to me when I played against Ghostface. Other survivors even tried to take hits but of course this ######### killer decided to tunnel me out

    I've got to admit that I go after Leon a lot as killer...

    I think I'm just naturally magnetised towards him. If you get my drift. πŸ˜…

    If a Leon actually lands a flashbang on me the only thing he gets is my respect because the last 200 made such pitiful attempts at trying.

    First game tonight and tunnelled again by a trapper who was doing quite well. Feng unhooked me right in front of him yet he felt the need to chase me. Never get this when playing as Jake πŸ˜… 5 out of 7 games with Leon I've been picked on and tunnelled lol πŸ˜…

    It's most likely the flashbangs. Seeing a streamer that mostly mains survivors and only plays 1 killer (demogorgon) waiting at the exit gates to flash the killer while exiting. Such a DB thing to do honestly

    Honestly for me I 90% play male survivors and since the majority play female survivors, I always feel like I get targeted first over them every single game lol.

    Not going to lie, I do usually test the waters with Leon because, yeah, they seem really easy to down.

    I have to add something else to this topic: Leons breathing is LOUD and his grunts of pain are literal moans like Jane.

    I think he might be the loudest male survivor after Jeff now. This in turn makes him much much easier to track and why not go for who you find easily as Killer? A lot of this could be unintentional tunneling.

    Also a lot of it seems like poor decision making. I see Leons do really dumb stuff like unhook literally right behind my back while they're injured and on death hook. Of course I'm going to grab/hit you if you're making poor decisions, tunnel or not I'm not going to reward bad behavior lol
