Survivors who unhook in front of killers...
Please stop. It does no good if we end up back on the hook this time at struggle phase or worse. Half the time you also get injured or downed in the process. You're much better off to either find a gen to repair, or to try and lure the killer far enough away so another survivor can unhook.
Thanks.

I swear survivors do this because they expect tunneling to be some type of illegal maneuver.
I've had quite a few games where someone instantly unhooks a survivor 1 second after I turn around. Then they either ditch the survivor they unhooked, or expect them to tank a hit with BT and for me to leave them alone after that, and in either case will complain about tunneling if I don't let the unhooked live.
But to anyone who actually does this and reads this, know that that hook was my map pressure to peel you off generators and you took it away instantly.
You also just removed 45 seconds of hook timer that I'd otherwise need to kill that person entirely. That 45 second hook time you wasted counteracts the time I'll waste eating a DS if they have it, and will also force you or others to save them or be a man down permanently, meaning less people on generators.
So unless you make yourself REALLY damn appealing, I'm tunneling the heck out of the person you just rescued while I'm still in the area.

Moral of the story: Unhook intelligently or don't unhook at all.
Tunneling is okay in my books, and I will do it if you give me the option.

If you're playing solo then run DS, you can't count on solo survivors for anything intelligent in this game, a killer who has it in their head to tunnel will do it no matter what's going on, not that it's wrong they can play however they want, I just think it's funny because those same people will cry when the gens get rushed while they proxy camp

Obviously being farmed without BT is infuriating, but I have a near-equal amount of hate to players who have BT and think that it means they should unhook you in front of the killer. I don't care if I can take a hit now - you should still wait for the killer to leave the area unless there's no other options. BT is an anti-camping and anti-tunneling perk, not a pants-on-head yolo perk.
I know the option would cause more problems than it would solve, but sometimes I see a Meg chasing the killer while they carry me to a hook and wish I could refuse a 'save.'

If done before the struggle phase, you trade and get extra time. Worth.

I'm the unlucky type of guy that whenever I decide to pick DS, killers tend to not tunnel anyone. But as soon as I'm taking that perk out, every single killer seems to tunnel everyone.

Exact reason I don't run it. Need don't have...Have don't need. Life's a #########.

I'm actually okay with it! It just depends on the situation. If it's an insta-unhook with BT, or an insta-unhook into a one for one (with or without BT) with a player who is better on hook (especially against a Killer who is camping) it's worth it imho.
Pretty much as long as it's not a straight up, genuine farm, I'm chill.

Yup, i do not blame the killer for taking advantage of greedy/incompetent survivor plays. A good killer can easily turn this play into 2 down survivors for free hooks. High MMR doesn't do this unless it's EGC or there is coordination from the other 2 players for body blocks

I would like to point out to all the "I will tunnel the S out of anyone offhooked in front of me" crowd. It is not the hooked survivors fault they were offhooked near you, thus downing and hooking that offhooker, fine, hard tunnels, not fine. I also rarely see people whipped of the hook 1 second after you hooked them, but I see camping happening all the time. You can not tell people not to offhook in front of you then not leave the area.
To the offhooker, If I am getting the camp, do the gens and let me hang, till death if need be. I had a face-camping Nemisis and the people did 3 gens, including popping the last one. Instead of heading to a door and leaving giving him the 1k, they tried to get me at the last second, it snowballed and he got a 4k. Do not do that, the play is to leave.

I play solo mostly and omg does this happen so much ill get unhook almost instantly and the killers turns around and my "teammate" is nowhere to be found. When I play killer I will normally slug the unhooked to keep pressure but not just rebook them 5 seconds later. If you've been a jerk though your probably ending up right back on the hook as I see it as karma.

This is the exact reason I don't bother with DS. I just run a different perk i know ill get value from.

That probably because you dont get unhook in front of the killer

Indeed. The hooked players job at that point, in your scenario, is to last on the hook as long as possible while the killer camps them. Everyone else finish gens and escape.

To be fair, the unhooker usually slinks away and hides. Or the unhooked survivor will charge at you specifically to trigger BT. So if you want me to trigger BT, you'd better be prepared to run me for a few loops or go down for it.
And it doesn't need to be camping. A hooked survivor is an objective to defend just like any gen, it's where other survivors will be going, so it's a possible place to find other survivors.

But the killer shouldn't be camping or tunneling and let us get the unhook without trying to pressure us at all! /s :'P
I agree 100% and have been ready to scream at my screen when its happening :)

Yeah, same here. It gets really obnoxious when they do it more than once. Usually when this stuff goes down and I'm on the receiving end, I end up hooked 3 times and dead in a very small amount of time due to the others repeatedly unhooking me within range of killer who is clearly visible. All I can do is facepalm and wait for next match. I really wish for a kick away feature while hanging on hook. The only time I can think of where this crop is understandable is if they really just didn't realize the kil.er was hanging out close by. I've accidentally done that too. But don't knowingly do it.
