Anti tunnel used offensively
So the base kit anti tunnel mechanic was implemented to of course aid the person being unhooked from being tunneled.
My question here is, how often in your games as killer is the anti tunnel feature used offensively to body block for the unhooker instead of its intended purpose?
I ask this because I feel like the mechanic is abused in this way extremely often instead of its intended role and wanting to see what others are experiencing. I almost always try to go for the unhooker instead and it is very common for the unhooked to intentionally try to body block me and take a hit for the unhooker.
This is why I'd personally prefer a zero collision feature with the anti tunnel since it's not abusable in this way and they couldn't body block me. If its purpose is supposed to be anti tunnel then let's keep it that way, not another chase extender.

I would also prefer the no collision solution, but when people use it offensively they often just DC when I go for them... Like don't bodyblock me then... I don't mind it being used offensively too much, but I would prefer if they didn't, I obviously don't want to tunnel the guy but if he wants to get tunneled OK.

That’s kind of how I see it. I try not to tunnel but once someone tries to abuse it to body block me, they’re done lol.
I feel like everyone should like this no collision change. It makes it so you literally can’t be tunneled as survivor and as killer stops you from being body blocked, win/win.1 -

Lol yeah I just rotate it based on what I'm currently playing the most of. I'm pretty bad at him but when you land those hits the dopamine is real haha.
My favorite is still Dredge though. I'm very good at him.

It not extremely common these days, but it was back in the days before 6.1.0. And it was super unfun.
Buff DS without giving killer alternative strategy, especially with the fact all others strategies are killed, and do nothing about weaponizing it – super stupid decision. No doubt it will have backfire few patches after.0 -

It happens quite a lot, but I don't have a problem with bodyblocking with bt too much. I'm already more annoyed of the people bodyblocking with ds tho xD

Yeah that's kind of where I'm going. We're already getting base kit or OTR blocks very often as is. Now with DS going back to 5 seconds we're going to see both being used this way. It's very obnoxious.
Like for how common people complain about tunneling, I would make the argument that I see more unhooked people body blocking the rescuer when the killers trying not to tunnel than I see killers tunneling. The irony.

Well weird people are playing this game xD
I have to admit that I usual also bodyblock with bt, but I know the risiko to get tunneled and also like to. I think it's pretty fun to try to survive as long as possible xD
P.S I won't bodyblock with ds and probably not even use it. I don't like it too much ^^

lol yeah.
I have absolutely no problem with anti tunnel. I'd even love stronger anti tunnel, and have it base kit for that matter. I just don't want to be punished by anti tunnel things when I'm not tunneling and that's currently not the case. Every time I mention this abuse of the anti tunnel mechanics everyone just ignores statements like the above and says why we need anti tunnel mechanics and that I want to tunnel. It's like people have selective reading and just see what they want to see.

Well the easy and probably fair fix would be to remove the collision, but idk if they will ever do that xD

I agree!

make survivors also loose collision for those 10s after the unhook .

sounds good to me

Id say about 80% of the time successfully or not the unhooked survivor with endurance comes barreling at me or tries to get in my way even if I am explicitly trying to go after the other survivor. Might be conformation bias since the times it happens feel disproportionately worse than the times it doesn't but still its high time something is changed about it

I only experience it sometimes when I can tell the Survivors are intent on showing off.

if a survivor ends up unhooked in front of me, they almost always take a hit for the unhooker with their BT.
