Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

    It's just a shame this bread has been outside so long it's 99% mould and is disintegrating into sad crumbly little pieces

    Tunneling is a strat, not a toxic cheat or hack. Since there is a perk (DS) to stop this or try to, there is nothing wrong with tunneling.

    Nothing wrong with it. Fun is subjective though. But if a killer is only trying to win, then yeah, camp and tunnel. 90% of the time the survivors are going to make the mistakes necessary to hand the game to the killer on a silver platter. Either the survivor is too weak to survive for 4-5 gens over 3 chases, the rescuers don't have BT, don't know how to unhook under pressure, or don't have the game sense/know-how to protect the tunneled player.

    It makes the game boring.

    A boring game isn't fun.

    The purpose of a game is to have fun.

    Therefore, tunnelling defeats the purpose of the game. People don't want to play anymore. People play other games instead. The game dies.

    What's not clicking?

    If tunneling is not against game rules than yeah there sure is nothing wrong with it.

    I agree but I disagree. If it's endgame or if you're losing then go for it. If someone is being incredibly toxic then go for it. If someone rinsed you in your first chase and you can't risk having another chase like it, then tunnel.

    BUT if it's early game (4/5 gens), game flow is going well, and a weaker survivor had a relatively short chase, or if they're a chill player then tunnelling is just cruel and unnecessary at that point.

  • I dont think incentivizing and then leaving the choice up to the killer is the right way to go. It's better to simply make some things unappealing for killers than incentivize things they should already be doing
