Tunneling Tactic Increase?

I've noticed it more since I have been doing survivor challenges over the last couple of days, however I am trying to do the escape 2 times with ultra rares and only have keys left. I have been tunnelled out of all my matches but one lol.

Well, I'd say give it a try anyway! All my setups are random, and yes sometimes I wish I'd put Lithe or something in my setup, but perks are what you make of them, and if your basic game is good, you can still make it out with perks as daft as Slippery Meat!

Really, the meta builds mean very little if the basic player skill isn't high, and if it is high enough, then a meta build isn't really necessary. Play to your strengths and be unpredictable. There's a lot of opportunity for success there, and it's sometimes funny when getting a 4k with pqdded traps and distressing against survivors on meta, or surviving against a meta killer with perks like No Mither or This Is Not Happening.

There will always be crappy rounds. I've had sessions where I could not catch a break in the past!

Focus on what you think you can do to improve your own game, because you can control that. You can't control some rounds where nothing goes your way, due to poor team mates or a killer with a chip on their shoulder, but you can look back and wonder if there are small adjustments you can make to the basic gameplay: "Ought I risk doing a totem that close?", "Next time on that map, I'll loop a different way through that jungle gym", "I'll make sure I'm near a locker when someine is downed", "If it's Bubba, screw the rest of my team, I'm outta there!:p"- little adjustments that can carry you a long way. :)

Literally just had a spirit camp me in the basement with 5 gens left then instant tunnel when unhooked.

I mainly play killer, from the few games I played Survivor recently they all had hook face campers. Legit would not even walk more than a few meters away. Felt horrible to play, even worse, team mates didn't do gens, they tried to help repeatedly till he left them slugged waiting for the one on hook to expire first.

Was a reality check for sure, made me realize I'm not part of the problem at least. I would never think of doing what these people did.

Not sure I buy that logic. It's not hard to tell when you're playing against good SWF, mediocre SWF (which most of them are), really good solos (having one really good solo is often far more beneficial then some mediocre range SWF), and solos that range from not that game knowledge to fairly decent in knowledge. The idea that Killers are just running against these solid SWF teams to such a degree that the Killers have to play 'mean' is.... well, I'm not sure it passes the sniff test. Plenty of Killers play just as 'mean' if not worse when they realize they get to wreck 4 solos.

Tunneling someone out of the game pretty much guarantees a 3-4K unless there's only 1 gen left, the last two are close to popping, or someone has a key. That's why it's such an effective and used strategy, compared to camping which can take considerably longer. Back to the point above, if a Killer decides to tunnel someone out of the game and there's not 2-3 gens popping by the time that first unhook happens, they aren't SWF, or not a solid SWF at the very least.

Just to be clear, I'm saying tunneling is right or wrong, just don't try to justify it by saying it's 'someone' else's fault. It's a choice the Killer makes in strategy. No one is making them do it.

I was talking about one of the tactics your teammates can take in direct response to the comment saying that survivors 'allowed' tunneling to happen/be effective. You're also assuming that every survivor getting tunneled is: good enough to run the Killer that long, are hooked near a place with a strong tile that can be used, that the Killer isn't also proxy comping making your rescue risky af, that your teammate has BT and you won't have to use it for them, and you're running DS and/or DH (which won't help you a dead zone unless maybe you have them both).

So, no, there are a lot of instances where being tunneled out of the game isn't fun at all.

But going back to the initial replay, I was addressing the idea that the surv being tunneled 'lets' it be effective.

Tunnelling is crazy rampant right now. Thing is I don't want it to be up to the killer's kindness to prevent it, I want DBD to include tools in the form of perks or items to defend myself from it. If it requires DS to get a 20 second stun to change killer behavior so be it

Killers should use every dirty trick at their disposal....but, DBD should have tools to help survivors ... ya know survive that highly effective but fun killing tactic

ah, thanks for the heads up. I am relatively new to posting here.

For the longest time I would do my best to never tunnel, even go as far as stop and smoke some tree if I was doing too good.

But there is zero mercy nowadays. The beloved HybridPanda is back and he's realized this too, he's the one who created my kind playstyle.

I'm not one to normally complain about tunneling. But I've definitely noticed an increase in tunneling too.

I've been playing with crossplay off where many killers self proclaim to be in tournament teams. Often the first person they hook they proxy camp and tunnel them out of the game to try and get a 1v3 ASAP.

Now this isn't a great strategy if all survivors keep rushing gens. But it does make the game really boring. You know that if you go to save you'll be wasting time and at the very best trading. But if you don't try to help that person will die on first hook and you'll be doing gens the rest of the game (presuming they don't suicide in hook). Even though I know it's the right thing to stay on gens, it still feels bad leaving someone to die on first hook.

But then these killers will often run NOED too. So they're likely to finish off with at least 2 kills regardless. So not only is the game really boring and you have no BP, but the killer also has 2 or more undeserved kills.
