Killers, do you tunnel on purpose or do you not know your doing it

I will tunnel if a survivor;

1. Is being toxic

2. Is very good at juking / hard to catch

3. If the survivor in question runs in front of me and leaves me no choice but to down them (especially with ghostface)

In the event of number 3. I ll slug them and allow them the chance to be healed before I return back and get them.

You're a copypasta now (not because of me) but I read the copy pasta and it made me pretty mad for several reasons

1. You're just assuming on a basically racism level of hate

2. You obviously don't have many killer hours because I see you don't know the actual struggle of playing killer in red ranks

3. The devs actually don't promote those 3 but nerfed a of them the DS change makes tunneling very risky while it was the go to strat back in the day they also nerfed slugging significantly and camping makes your emblems ######### so pipping is prevented if you camped btw camping is stupid anyways

4. If you think the DC penalty is bad then you should just play a different game shouldn't be one with ranks though because all other games with mmr have dc penalties.

5. A last tip pls play a lot more killer I need more killer in high ranks so I don't have to wait 5 minutes for a match you can tunnel and camp how you want because being camped is still more fun than waiting in queue

Thanks in advance

These options make me unable to pick one, cause i don't tunnel.

Okay, yes but not for this particular reason. I don't tunnel to win, and there are specific instances within the game that would make me do it other than that.

I normally don't tunnel at all, and purposefully go away from hooks so they have the chance to unhook.

These are the only reasons I would tunnel:

• If I don't even have a chance to properly get away from the hook and they get unhooked. That's their team's fault, and I can use their bad timing to my advantage.
• If it's an incredibly large map, such as Red Forest, I would normally not really have anyone else to go for. I would need to apply pressure still, and if they're on the other side of the map, I can't do that. In that scenario, it's not like I'll purposefully go back to hook, but I wouldn't really take into account if you were recently hooked. This is if I'm not a high-mobility killer. (Also, please fix the huge maps. They look really nice, but horrible to play in as killer at least).
• If they're toxic, there's almost a 100% chance of me doing so. You have survivors blind you at every pallet, teabag all the time, and insta-heal twice in front of you. It's not like I will tunnel on purpose, but I will totally be less lenient about it towards these people. They especially get flustered because they do all of this and wonder why they were tunneled, and then killers are the one who are toxic, makes me wanna give up as killer.
• Sometimes it's unintentional. You can get unhooked and around 30 seconds later I may run into you when not even going back to the hook. I may subconsciously realize they were hooked, but it's not the main thing I think of when I go after them.
• This isn't totally tunneling, but I will fixate on a survivor if they disrespect me. If they have tools at their disposal (i.e. flashlights and insta-heals) I probably won't. However, if they finish a generator right in front of me, then I will fixate on them for a little bit on purpose. I also bring STBFL due to the disrespect at times.

We are all aware that we tunnel. However, many of the times it's not of malicious intent. Sometimes it's fair and the survivor team's fault, other times it's due to if the survivors are toxic or not, sometimes it's nobody's fault and it just happens, and sometimes it's completely unintentional. Like the comment above me, we all realize when we tunnel, but 'tunneling' isn't always 100% toxic in certain scenarios.

I've recently have given up about my red rank and started playing killers I haven't really played, but even when survivors clearly see you are new to a specific killer, they're still really toxic sometimes. I'm not saying killers aren't toxic either, but sometimes it's really rough.

I know when I'm tunneling, and when I'm not. But usually, if I start tunneling it's because I've found you and you're the easiest target, or it's after an unhook and the unhooker is hiding. Basically what I'm getting at is that it's usually your teams fault, or I just don't like the cut of your jib.

No

I don't need to tunnel

Pretty much this.

If I realize I need to get a kill to put pressure then sure but most matches I just kill whats near me and if you were injured I'll slug for pressure.

think about this logically if you see someone unhooking and with the current gen rush meta are you going to go for the injured guy who is on death hook or are you going to waste time going after the healthy guy running to a god loop there are 2 gens left and killing him is essential for slowing the game down don't blame the killers blame the devs for encouraging a genrush meta and catering to rank 20 survivors 4 happy survivors is more profitable than 1 happy killer
