Killers tunneling the unhooked survivor pretty much every match

Salinero

Even with off the record killers just tunnel anyway, because why would they not. Ever since this patch either me or another survivor got tunneled out of the game at 5-4 gens left. Killers really have horrible attitudes and this will for sure lead other players to leave this game aswell. I'm not even touching this game without swf now since there are literally no very little fair playing killers left.

So tell me devs, why did you nerf DS into oblivion? Because it was "meta"? You said it was in a FINE spot before so why make it 3 seconds. It literally does nothing now and can't even be used to make it to a pallet/window since getting off is like 1 second so you get 2 seconds of a headstart.

DBD is probably in the worst state in a while, because I sure had a lot more fun BEFORE this patch hit live. And playing killer takes forever now aswell, so there's not even a possibility to play that role unless I wait 5-10m.

A week of solo queue, running Off The Record appropriately 50% of games. Hasn't procced yet.

Can someone tell me why I haven't encountered a single tunneller yet? Feel like I'm missing out.

If your teammates are being tunnelled, maybe you could try running perks to help with that?

That's kinda what I've been doing

Some random perk suggestions:

BT - Extend their unhook BT/haste

Guardian - Hide their scratchmarks, blood and increase their haste effect to make them run faster. It also shows you if the Killer is coming back, which helps a lot

We'll Make it - Use this for a quicker reset to ensure if the killer finds the unhooked survivor again, they can at least survive for 2 health states. Failing that, stealth as being healthy is better for stealth now

For The People - An emergency use perk that will allow you to make someone vunerable healthy and make yourself a target. The killer may swap to you to capitalise. If they hook you, that's fine - you took pressure off your teammate. If they slug, maybe pair with unbreakable or tenacity.

Desperate Measures - In a pinch the unhook speed paired with unhook perks can really make a big difference, would recommend trying it out. The less time you spend locked in animation, the faster the unhooked survivor can move to safety

DS and Off The Record "doing nothing" is impossible. And what I've been seeing people say is these 3 things: 1) Killer kill rate is now much higher, 2) Killers just camp and tunnel now, and 3) Killers use gen defence even though they don't need to in order to win. So now I'm asking: How many games have you seen killers win (3k or 4k), without teammates DCing or playing awful, where the killer didn't tunnel/camp AND didn't use gen defence. From my experience, you at least need to do one of those things to win. Sometimes you can't win even if you did both. Play Trapper, Wraith, Freddy, Pig, Ghost Face, or Sadako without those things against *good survivors*, and you'll see that what you've been saying doesn't match up with what's happening in the game. You have great success doing that with 1 or 2 of those killers? Great. But you won't succeed with all of them, I guarantee it. The game is much different when people don't DC out of spite.

I've said a few times on this forum that I'm surprised by how often others claim to experience camping and/or tunnelling, because its an uncommon thing in my games. But I'm convinced at this point it's a regional issue, just the nature of gaming in certain areas.

I watched one of my favourite streamers earlier, a Plague main who decided to test out the solo queue survivor experience, and literally every single game she played there was camping and tunnelling. No exception.
