Remove Sound Alerts From Unhooks
One thing I would like to see taken from the 2v8 mode and brought to 1v4 is the silent unhooks. I think that unhooking a survivor should not make a sound unless Breakdown is used and the hook is broken. I think this would reduce the frequency of off-the-hook tunneling, not saying it would eliminate it. Devs could also look into either adding or modifying a less used perk to add sound alerts to unhooks for killers who really want to have it in their kit.

I’m all for that. It’d make tunneling a little harder for em

I don't think that's a good idea. This will weaken all the killers and upset the balance. Although I am against tunneling, in most cases the survivors are to blame. They should not be treated directly under the hook, but run away and hide, so after the hook they are given acceleration and durability to do that.

This would help a lot against tunneling or at least reduce it a bit. It could mean the difference between getting healed and not, when the killer doesn‘t notice it directly. I‘m all for it.

This would probably help with the casual tunnelers but anybody who is planning on tunneling from the start or somebody who is just paying a minor amount of attention will just keep an eye on the portraits and know exactly when people are unhooked anyway. Also since I don't have a issue with tunneling I'm not a fan of this idea.

Simce there's so many survivors in 2v8, it's not really an issue for the killers to constantly get into new chases especially with the basekit aura reading.
It's a different mode so it'll have different balance.

The killers get infinite aura read for the first half of the game, they aren't weak. The event is largely killer sided and EVERYONE agrees. If you think preventing tunneling is a bad thing then YOU are part of the reason people are asking for anti tunnel mechanics…

It's not an issue of getting into a new chase, its prioritizing the freshly unhooked players that's the issue. For new survivor players it creates a wildly unfun experience and for veteran players its just annoying and poor sportsmanship in a limited mode.

I never tunneling on killers, and play mostly as a survivor (Yun-Jin avatar seems to hint at this),
so keep your fantasies to yourself.

All it would do is slightly inconvenience killers. They know where they hooked a survivor and can see the unhook on the hud anyway.

Now's your problem that I don't even use it to tunnel nessasarly, I just go back and stop the heal if I don't have someone I chase at the moment. I'd really love to always have to go somewhere, otherwise I just run around hoping to find someone, with people with a hiding playstyle that would be awful.
Besides that it sounds that the bubble stays, I won't care at all then, I automatically look at the left if something changes. So I can still tunnel if I want to and if I'm in chase and I don't see it, I wouldn't switch anyways.

I don't think it will be such a good solution to tunneling as you think it is. Most of the time tunneling happens for me:
- Is when a Survivor unhooks right next to me.
- I spot a Survivor running towards a hook and I follow.
I think he situation of removing the notification is only ever gonna be useful for survivors is the situation of me having left the hook and not found a new Survivor the chase. If I'm in that situation, I might as well return to the hook and interrupt healing. OR if I am personally invested in tunneling out a specific Survivor. OR if I am leaving and a Survivor does a unhook. Then that will be useful.
But I think this discussion is more about a wack-a-mole for tunneling,
Instead we should consider the main questions regarding that notification:- Should the Survivors have the advantage on unhooking.
- Is it fair to the Killer to not alert them.
- Is Tunneling a legitimate strategy or response to Survivor strategy?
