    Tunneling 100%, and on the occasion anything involving bad manners.

    Camped and tunneled are my least favourite things but I don’t mind anything else

    Camped and tunneled. Killers like that are the lowest of the low.

    Maybe it’s just me(mainly a survivor)(rank 20 at that),but I wish that when killers ran hex totems it would be more than one to destroy before breaking the hex. I think it would balance gen rushing Bc if I see gens are hexed I’m going scavenger hunting for the totem. Which only delays me and my team for a little while. I can only imagine against higher ranks. So like a must destroy 3/3 to break the curse. Oh and if they go unbroken killers get points for spellbinding or something. Since when you run hex you have to protect totems, gens, and hook up survivors. I just think it would make hex perks more fun for everyone killers and survivors. Also it would give the killers a real chance when running those perks.

    Addendum:
    i gripe about this Bc it’s way to easy and I know they use perk slots for it. I feel like an asshat of a survivor when it gets destroyed quickly Bc I don’t want to ruin their fun so quickly but I have to do what I have to do as a survivor to survive.

    While I get why some killers do it, it frustrates me so much to see camping and tunneling. When I play killer I always move away from the hook, because I want everyone to have fun. Unless someone is being stupid obvious about it hanging around the hook, or of course if they're being toxic.

    DCs and tunneling.

    DCing survivors just ruin the game, period. Hard-core tunneling is just unpleasant and frustrating. The sad thing is though, that I can understand tunneling. There's just not enough time keep chasing different people in a match, and it can be necessary for the killers that aren't top tier.

    When one of my team mates DC because they are entitled little babies that cant handle losing or the match not going their way. Nothing annoys me more because they basically screw over the whole team. To any of the dumbasses that think DCing is acceptable. Please uninstall. You don't hurt the killer. You deny him some points but thats it and when you do this ######### it just makes his job that much easier. If you don't want to play the match don't join a lobby in the first place.

    The Killer actually does get Bloodpoints when someone quits (Have had it happen a few times, twice in one game one time)

    As both a Survivor and Killer, I despise camping. It is boring as killer and makes the Survivor pretty much guaranteed death because no one can save them. I mean, I'll check every now and then, but I normally go looking for the other survivors. Unless I see a Survivor literally right there when I hook someone. That has led to accidental camping, but I try to avoid it.

    My biggest gripe as survivor is other survivors.

    I don't mind the killer but when some idiot Pizza Dwight ragequits in the first 30 seconds because he got caught, or Invisible Claudette farms me when the killer is 6ft away, what's the point of even playing?

    I saw a video that touched on something like this. I really want a "get the F away from me you idiot, I'm already struggling and if you unhook me, the killer is going to tunnel me and 3rd hook me" perk.

    As a killer, I love nothing more when survivors go all SNAFU and get FUBAR. You can tell right away....as soon as I see that flashlight flicker, I say, "Ahhhh, get one hooked, and they all come running in". They forget about the gens, it's all about the saves.

    Camping & getting hit while on the hook. Whenever someone stands there & hits me on the hook, I have to leave the game immediately after the game or I'll get sucked into arguing in the chat, & then I have to take a break and check my email or something, because it irks me that much and I'm worried that I'll carry my bad attitude from that game into the next one.

    Also, people who unhook people RIGHT NEXT TO THE KILLER. Annoyingly you see that a lot from people who are between ranks 18 and 14, and I'm always like, 'YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER.'

    Pretty much only 1 thing.

    Getting camped out as the first on hook with no gens done. I get it, strategy and snowball and whatnot.

    Just dont get mad when I call your strategy and tactics trash.

    As a killer main....actually this depends on how fast you were hooked at the start of the game.

    Here's the mentality. If a killer hooks a player within the first...say 2 minutes of the game. The killer saves a TON of time by camping a player caught that early as opposed to the progress on gens that player might otherwise make if they are rescued as well as the time it takes to hook them 2 more times.

    Sucks yes, but weight the 2 and it's easy to see which is the fastest overall.

    If EVERY survivor DCs, then the killer gets 2,5k BP in TOTAL
    How is that anything compared to the addons/offerings he loses?

    It only takes 3 minutes to do the gens. If you gun down one guy, let's say that takes a minute. It takes 2 minutes to die on hook.

    You choose to camp him and the others realize it or its SWF, the other 3 can rush down the gens and have them all done and the gates likely opened before their buddy is fully sacrificed.

    This is only a good strategy if the Survivors are stupid.

    No gripes for me really. Not tunneling or camping because I understand that I'm not the game master, and I as a survivor was never intended to have any power over the game other than the small amount I need to make it out alive. If they want to tunnel and camp, who am I to stop them? They paid for the game just as I did, they deserve to play it how they want.

    Toxic players irk me the most. It's difficult to experience horror when you see random frail civilians gang up on the killer.

    As a killer main, I have no gripes. I can't blame killers for doing what they have to do. It's frustrating from the other side some times, when I'm playing survivor myself, but it's sobering to remember just how much more frustrated that killer must be on such a regular basis that they would need to camp or tunnel. Really helps that I've been there, obviously. Survivors really have nothing to complain about but themselves in this game's state of balance. Other than the boredom from winning constantly at high ranks, of course.

    When a Rank 18-20 Killer is running BBQ 3, Ruin 3, NOED 3, and take your pick. Do you really need those Perks or are you just noobstomping? It's understandable at higher ranks of course, but at 18-20? Seriously... Lol. I can only shake my head and wonder how bad their life must suck that they have to justify their existence in this fashion..

    Everything else is just the game. If I don't like it, oh well, there's another match around the corner. Getting too hung up about all the mechanics that can be used in a game is pointless. Head to the next match with a clear head and enjoy yourself. Life is way too short.

    I agree hitting me while I am hooked is just annoying.  I would like to see survivors get distraction points everytime I get hit, not just when another survivor runs by.  in my mind even just hanging or even struggling, if they are just hitting me I am still distracting them from the goal of getting the next survivor.  maybe this would make the killers think twice about just sitting there and hitting me and, in my opinion, wouldn't break the game.   (would actually love to see survivors get distraction points when being camped as well, but that might be harder to implement)

    I got the "Protection" score event a couple times when hanging on a hook and a Survivor was looping the Killer around me. That was a couple months ago though. Amusing AF, but the Killer was salty in post-game because I was targetted instead of his prey.

    Other Survivors hookrushing when the Killer is standing right there, thereby getting me killed a lot more quickly.

    Fellow Survivors bming the killer or getting camped, tunneled.

    I would wish gens would take more and a death of a fellow survivor wouldnt mean the gens are getting done any slower. (Adjust gen times per player count PLS FINALLY)

    I'm a killer main but I actually play survivors from now and then but the one thing that gets on my nerves is when but the one thing that gets on my nerves the most is those teammates who don't do anything.

    It's made me understand why some people get so pissed off when they do all the work and they end up dying. I can't tell you how annoying it is to see someone using urban evasion to sneak around the corners of the map doing ######### all whilst I'm stuck on hook, someone's being chased and someone is trying to work on a generator.

    This isn't a punishment.
    It's just frustrating to loose even tho you did your best, just because your team is best.
    Lower gen time according to the alive count would fix this. (Obv. gen times would in general be higher in a 4 ply game)

    Tunneling a player the whole game to make one person less working on gens is a strategy, but it is incredibly disgusting for the survivor to get camped and tunneled the whole map.
