Now that the devs killed Eruption, killers will tunnel even more

    Honestly that's fine. Tunnelling has been around forever, and with Otz's recent popular video, regarding its efficiency, it would probably have been on the increase anyway. Personally I can always use more chase experience.

    Ah, there it is. The ultimate statement: "more tunneling (and camping)" due to upcoming Perk Nerfs. Which always feels like a threat aka "Dont nerf this or we will tunnel more!!"

    Guess what Killers already tunneled the ######### out of Survivors. And it will not change, you can buff every Killer to Nurse- or Blight-Level and buff every Perk to the strength of current Eruption and Killers would still tunnel.

    Roughly every single change made by the devs will get this exact thread made about it.

    I'm not entirely sure how you can tunnel more than 10 out of 10 games, but whatever you say Killer mains, we know that the only reason you play the way you do is because you are forced to. You most certainly wouldn't tunnel just for the hell of it if the game was easier, wink, wink.

    In my thread I never stated that I'm going to tunnel more. This post was based on my previous experience as survivor when Pop and Ruin got nerfed into the ground. People had the need to tunnel more to achieve the same results like in the past. But tunneling got less in my games after people realized just how overpowered Eruption is. Well my bet is that it will be more rampant in my survivor games since Eruption will no longer carry killers after getting gutted until the community discovers another extremely strong perk that can single handedly carry killers to easy wins like Eruption does. Not every killer wants to tunnel but most killers want to win games, so they will resort to excessive tunneling every game, no matter if it's a genrushing SWF or casual SoloQ survivors.

    Ah yes the typical argument brought by the DBD community: "You are saying that thing X will happen that means you are doing it already and you just searching for excuses blah blah blah" Never in the thread did I state that I have to tunnel more because of the upcoming Eruption nerf. This thread was based on my experience. The Ruin and Pop nerf lead to a massive surge of tunneling but got less after people used Eruption more and more. For me I experience tunneling in my survivor games in like 4/10 matches. But I'll estimate that it will be in like 7/10 matches after the Eruption nerf. It's also hard to believe that your killers tunnel every single game as you state.
