Borrowed Time: Don't be that guy...
You know the one that gets unhooked with Borrowed Time, then gets between the killer and the survivor that did the unhooking and then complains that they got tunneled. Your "big brain" strategy is an invitation to the killer to tunnel you even if they were not going to initially. If you do this you deserve to be tunneled. When I play killer I will happily tunnel you in this situation and re-hook you.
Now, I've been accused of being a survivor main on this forum before, does this now make me a killer main?

Now bodyblocking with BT I think is fine but to complain about a killer downing you while you are bodyblocking? ya thats on them for being a dumb arse survivor.

ONE OF US GOOBLE GOBBLE ONE OF US WE ACCEPT YOU!
But yes, it is incredibly dumb. If you didn't want attention survivor, why did you beg for it?

There’s no reason to tunnel anyone. As killer you’re faster, you have lunge,many have range attacks, Noed, bbq, Tinkerer, etc. All of those trump anything a survivor could bring or do. Sorry, I know that’s not popular opinion on here, but it is the facts.

I would always protect the unhooker if they are injured or the killer has instadown. If the killer goes after me I am fine with that.

Except survivors with endurance do this on purpose. They expect to take a hit but then be let go?!??

It's not tunneling my friend. If a Survivor with borrowed effect tries to bodyblock, and the Killer is smart to wait for it or can follow up after hitting, then they should do it. It's a smart move.
You're really a Survivor main aren't you? You say it like the Killer should always plays nice, but then the other way around isn't the same, which is Survivor rushing gens and not caring about the Killer fun.
It's funny I can the same thing as a Killer main: "There's no reason to genrush any Killer. As a Survivor, you have 3rd person view, you can crouch, you can vault windows and drop pallets, perks like dead hard, adrenaline, decisive. All of those trumps anything a Killer could do. Sorry, I know that's a popular opinion on here, but it's the facts"

First time I have ever read the words "there's no reason to genrush any killer."

it's the old be careful what you wish for
i still don't believe in gen rush. Gotta make them care about totems. There's nothing else for them to do without being made to. Sometimes RNG is bad.

I think he just baits and troll people for fun.

If someone's going to go out of their way to bodyblock, they have to be prepared to get tunneled.

Yes! I had a survivor do this to me to me even after I ignored him to hit his teammate; he stepped in front of me with like 5 secs of bt left. I waited it out, downed him, and chose to eat ds, but he didnt even have it. After the game, I got several messages accusing me of tunneling. We came to an understanding and parted ways, but he was very insistent I tunneled.
I am currently working on turning this and some other recent salty clips I got into a YouTube video.

To be honest, if you body block with BT, I'm going to tunnel you out of the game. It annoys the heck out of me.

My favorie is when you start to wait it out and they just kind of stop and look at you, then face plant 😂

Sooo... let me get this straight.
The killer is trying not to tunnel. They are going after the unhooker, not the player who got off the hook. They are ignoring the player who got off the hook, either because they are concerned about DS/BT, because they have a perk that incentivizes going after the other player, or maybe because they just prefer to play fair and are giving the unhooked player a chance to get away.
The player who got off the hook intersperses themselves between the killer and their target, forcing the killer to hit them if they want to hit anyone.
The killer either hits them and goes after them because the unhooker got away, or waits 12 seconds because basic brain activity and downs the bodyblocker. Either way, the bodyblocker goes back on the hook.
The player who got in the way now accuses the killer of tunneling.
So. It's not okay to go after the player who's preventing the killer from going after anyone else? Because that's the scenario in the OP that you've chosen to pitch in on. Look, you hardly have diplomatic immunity if you run in front of the killer and beg for them to hit you. There's nothing wrong with bodyblocking with Borrowed Time, it's a very powerful tactic, but you've gotta be prepared for the killer to commit to the bait.

thats not "the facts" thats not even relevent to why you shouldn't tunnel in the situation

This is just one more play out of the "Streamer Rule Book" to get players to stop playing the game properly. Every single streamer who uses the word "boring" to define any play style, is doing so to prevent you from playing the game well. The "Streamer Rule Book" is just as much BS as the "Survivor Rule Book" is. Just stop the BS!

Essentially, this.
Usually, if they aren't a doichebag or have time to make another play, a Killer will go after the unhooker.
The unhooked bodyblocking is a bait as old as Borrowed Time itself.
The benefit you give the unhooker in that situation is, if the Killer immediately hits the BT user, about 4 seconds of "get the hell out of dodge" time, maybe longer if they wait a second or two.
But if the Killer chooses, instead, to switch targets, then the unhookee is now in serious danger, right next to the Killer, with no good way out, in most cases.

So because killers have noed they aren't allowed to tunnel a body-blocking survivor?
0 -
If a survivor that gets unhooked is bodyblocking me when I try to follow the unhooker, it is not tunneling if I switch target then. Usually, I wait until BT runs out (counting to 12 in my mind) and then we'll see who is the better player. :)

Yup. That's why DS is my go-to perk lol
