tunneling/camping is boosted now
what was the point of crying about camping,tunneling for years and in the end crippling AN ENTEIRE DIFFERENT SIDE of the game? "Slugging" and tunneling/camping are on different side of a coin.
tunneling/camping is a safe strategy. You dont go for a team, you kill one and get advantage. You do not risk. You do not leave a hook. You do not follow others. You focus one player. Bad killers do not slug. They can hardly hook one surv. They are afraid of leave him on ground because wont find him after. They dont understand that sometimes you have to leave a surv on ground and apply pressure to gens.
Slugging is a risky strategy. You have to put dawn 2-3 people and get some value. A mistake and they all alive again and you get nothing. IF you are bad you will never be able to slug. Because you have put down several people.
Good killers slug, bad killers camp. You can outplay slugging by saving teammates and playing good (looping, running etc), You can outplay camp by repairing gens. What is more fun?
Now you boosted camping/ tunneling. You boosted all boring safe strateiges and harmed risky. . Instead of trying to chase at least second surv killer will just pick up the first one. A pure madness. You punished good players and promote boring gameplay.

Tunneling will be S-Tier-Meta. You will see it in every game.

I already do, straight off the hook, and a lot of games face camp until death. It's kind of off-putting that killers think that's "fun". Just standing around doing nothing.

You will lose your games where this is not happening too. You will see it in 100 games out of 100.

the only killer that gets a lot from hard slugging is nurse. But i think she i harmed the least.
I wonder about oni/myers. I played them a lot like for several hundret hours. The point is that you suffer and then you get your 1 minute to chase and kill all around the map. Regaining all what you lost. Now it seems kind of pointless going for more than 2 players. It was risky before, but now it seems just stupid.

Twins says hi. Also the only good Sadako build relies on slugging. Honestly, Twins is dead now. If a survivor has unbreakable then you are not going to pick them up now. By the time you move Charlotte over to the downed survivor, they'll have picked themselves up. IMO this necessitates an entire redo of twins from the ground up, Freddy style.

Oni? Myers? Blight? Twins? Even a Huntress?

i guess i said something wrong, i meant that good nurse can destroy the entire team the first 3-4 min. She seems too overpowered if she is slugging. She can playing without hooking at all just each game hold all on the ground. Myers/oni have to earn their power.

Nurse is broken anyway. Everyone knows this. Just deactivate her till you know how to change her.

I don't camp and I don't slug. And I still win games. The only time when slugging is needed is against sweaty SWF. I play for fun and BPs. And when I play killer it's nice when survivors also have fun.
This game could really be fun without both sides trying to make each others experience miserable.
And all this "good killers slug" is nonsense. It really depends on how good the survivors are. Sometimes it's hard not to slug because they just do silly plays.
Congratulations, you slugged all 4 survivors in first 5min of the game, enjoy your 10k points and a boring match.
All of that would be justified if actual ranks still existed in this game. But they don't. There's no competitive mode, no ranks, so maybe play a game how it's meant to be played, for fun.
Ps. No, camping is NOT a safe strategy.
