I Wish There Was More I Could Do

This is a bit of a rant post, but definitely not one that is intended to fuel the community discourse.

Tunneling, wow, I think we've all heard that phrase before. Personally, I have no issue for tunneling since I can normally just queue for a new match. Is it annoying? Yes, but again, I can just queue for another match so why does it matter.

I think my only issue with tunneling is when I am in a SWF, other than spectating, I am basically out of the game and thrown into the "time-out chair" until the match is over or until my friends have died. It just feels horrible overall, and since it normally happens multiple games in a row, it feels as if the game itself is ensuring I have a horrible time.

I started writing down how many times this has happened since the release of RE: Project W; and only 3% of my matches in SoloQ I log off the game in frustration from being tunneled, while in 67% of my matches in SWF I log off the game in frustration from being tunneled.

Realistically, I do not know what BHVR could possibly do to fix this (if it is even seen as a "problem" to begin with), I just wish there was more I could do ingame instead of being forced to do nothing.

    Could add survivor ghosts. Distracting, t-bagging, maybe on the odd occasion helpful, ghosts that only survivors could see and the ghost can only see the survivors still in the trial to envy.

    Could turn it into a ticket-based system instead of a three strikes system. Similar to respawn tickets in another asymmetrical game called 'Depth.'

    Then tunneling wouldn't matter since you could get hooked again and again and nobody would start actually dying until hook tickets run out.

    No idea if programming something like that is possible at this point.

    I think a respawn mechanic could work. Each person still gets 3 lives(we all know there are too many inters/trolls to make lives shared) and they respawn after a set amount of time. Might be hard to balance that aswell though.

    Make a little minigame for dead survs where they play whack a mole (with little versions of the killer that killed them) to earn BP.

    I don’t play in SWF much but this does suck to experience especially if it ends up being a long match afterwards

    At least it gives you time to spend that 1 million BP burning a hole in your wallet
