i'm not the kind of killer that'll just tunnel people out of the game for no reason. i hook a survivor and i leave. hell, i don't even run devour hope, MYC, or whatever else. there's no perk ticking up or rewarding me for doing this, i just think it's fair play.

so when i see nobody else the entire time i'm hunting, and then the hook notification goes off, and i return to the hook and follow the scratch marks and find the exact same guy that just got hooked, what exactly do you think i'm going to do?

do you think i'm just gonna tell myself "oh it's not fair for me to hook him again"? do you think i'm gonna be like "maybe i should instead go and turn over every single stone and pay really close attention to the slightest sound to try to find someone else"? how stupid do you think i am? as a matter of fact, how stupid do you think you are? evidently you think you're very clever - do you think you're smartly evading the killer and protecting yourself? you're not. you're throwing your teammate under the bus because you don't wanna get hit in a video game.

so when, at the end of the game, i've been forced to tunnel each person individually because noone can bear to show their face the whole match, and i have to pre-emptively return to hooks to even dream of finding another target, you pop up in the postgame chat and call me a tunneler or a camper? you tell me that i'm bad at the game?

all i have to say to you is "ok".

you, red rank survivor in a swf with a purple and two green ranks. you who have done nothing to help your teammates, you who scuttled around the map hook farming your friends. you think i'm the one that played badly? you stand atop your mountain of undeserved pips held together by the dried blood of your comrades who you farmed for medals looking down upon me as if where you stand holds any appeal to me? do you think i want to be "good at the game" in the exact same way you are, selfishly throwing people under the bus to serve my own ends and then slipping out of the map-scouted hatch that you've been planning around since Bill 2 died?

here's a secret: where you stand is ugly. it is putrid and it is filthy. your rank is red not because you are a threat, but because it is dipped lavishly in the blood of your friends and allies. you exploited your way to the top just so you could look down on those around you and, worse still, you think your position enviable.

"ok".

    I didn't read the whole thing but if I tunnel as a killer, that's because you made it viable. If you healed after getting unhooked, then that's on you. If you didn't bring DS, then that's on you. I'm not gonna act like people have DS and in a way give them a 5th perk when I don't have to.

    and do what? stare at a wall because i'm not allowed to touch you due to "honour rules" or whatever, but then your team has provided me with no alternative targets?

    "ok".

    This was intense. I generally agree tbh but will be copy/pasting it for steam comments too

    Ignore the endgame chat. Play how you want. Survivors have the means to protect themselves from tunneling. If they don't, hang em up

    this is such a healthier and more elaborated and less spiteful version of my thread! now i'm glad i posted it, if it prompted you to post this as a reply.

    basically, 100% absolutely yes! could not agree more. total knockout, a home run of a post.

    Have you actually faced the OP or are you just being strange?

    So... you tunneled because you're too lazy to look for a new survivor and BBQ didn't hand you your next chase on a silver platter?

    not to my knowledge lol. i'm pretty sure i haven't, since i did like... 4 killer games today.

    perhaps this is just them indicting themself over their own playstyle?

    I didn't camp you just failed to unhook lmao seriously sometimes tunneling and camping can have so much pressure on the match.

    I also leave after hooking and then will return after a save is made. I ll hit whoever crosses my path first. When I play survivor, I often end up running the wrong way and get flattened again by the returning killer. I accept that I gave him an easy decision to make. Killers can't afford to give out lifelines and feecons

    What are you supposed to do then?

    It's the fault of the unhooker to not take the aggro after the unhook.

    Time management is very important as killer,so if you have no info on the position of other survivors,you get the unhook notification,go back to it and only see the unhooked survivor then you're pretty much forced to tunnel.

    I agree with 99 percent of what you said so eloquently. I CANNOT stand when other players farm for bloodpoints at my expense. The only thing I will ask is if you consistently "just happen" to get the same hooked survivors to rehook in almost every match then you are tunneling and it is your way of winning. I understand the whole leaving yourself in a bad spot but, if you "just happen to be around the hook when someone saves" almost all the time then you are either camping or proxy camping and tunneling. Not wanting to get into the whole camping/tunneling argument btw.

    This happened to me today. I was playing as Billy and doing surprisingly well for myself considering I'm not a killer main. By game's end two hooked survivors died (on their first or second hooks, I got a great pressure score), the third survived with a missed attack right at the gate, but the fourth disconnected when I hooked her.

    I felt really bad. I've experienced games so frustrating that I wanted to DC. I don't want to cause that kind of frustration for someone else. But if she was paying attention she'd definitely have known that I was chainsawing all the way from one end of the map to the other, back and forth, repeatedly, and catching anyone I caught a glimpse of. She just happened to be spending pretty much all of her time in one relatively safe area near a gen that she just didn't want to let go, and it finally caught up with her.

    I think that she must have felt tunneled, but I was downing everybody. She must have felt that, because I kept coming back (which also means that I kept leaving) that I was going for her specifically. I wasn't. In fact I was doing a ritual and was trying to deliberately give everyone the breathing room to escape. But she DC'd, and it honestly bummed me out. At the same time though I couldn't help thinking "well what was I supposed to do, just ignore you the whole match?"

    With the new hook counters now I can effectively protect teammates that need a "extra" health state. (Protection Hits)

    I guess I just wonder why cloak right next to a hook simply to wait to down someone who tries the save, then move on and do it again? I mean I know it works but doesnt that get old?

  • sesawyer3127
    sesawyer3127 Member Posts: 342

    Okay lol, whatever floats your boat but if your doing this all the time and win easy all the time it has got to get old. I just see a lot of Wraiths hook then cloak right next to it downing anyone who tries to save. Just seems lazy to me but hey whatever it takes huh.
