Do you ever feel bad about tunneling?

I do atm. I got a little bit tilted about Meg entering lockers all the time with ds and I did it.

But wish I didn't because I feel bad now and she wasn't toxic or anything :(.

I deserve it I guess.


It was early game and no one was toxic that is why I feel bad.

    Every once in a while, yeah. But I don't usually tunnel before 1-2 gens as long as you don't give me a good reason to, and if you do then I won't feel bad.

    Other than accidental, if 3 gens get done in a minute thirty, yeah I don't feel bad about tunneling. If y'all playing efficiently then so am I lol do unto others

    No since I don't tunnel and only play killer for rift challenges. I don't like the current meta of having to kick someone out of the match asap if you're not Nurse or Blight so I continue role playing as Claudette, though that new cosmetic that Elodie has is making me want to switch.

    Yes I don't tunnel but sometimes people will unhook someone and then immerse away and I have really no choice but to go after the same guy

    I mainly feel bad when its not intentional as I know the sheer bad luck of constantly running into the killer blindly.

    Especially when its a stealth killer like Wraith or Pig.

    That being said if you want my attention you have no right to complain when you get it!🎶

    Well I don't tunnel so... :D

    Or at least I don't do the actual definition of tunneling (going exclusively after one person while ignoring any and all other targets of opportunity in your pursuit of that one person). EDIT: I suppose that's not 100% true but someone has to REALLY piss me off for me to decide to go after them exclusively and if you're just playing well, that's not enough to get me to do it. You have to literally be asking for it with tbagging, finger pointing, jumping in and out of lockers when I'm NOT after you, etc for me to decide that you're going to die. If you're being actual tunneled by me, you ASKED me to do it.

    If you're talking about the "survivor rulebook" version of not tunneling where I'm not allowed to hook the same person multiple times in a row, sometimes I do feel bad. They might not be very good. They might be the ones not hiding. They might just be stupidly unlucky. I do feel kind of bad for them and will go after any other target (even to my own detriment if they're injured and the other person is not) if they're on death hook while everyone else is on one to zero hooks but if you're the only one I can ever find...well...them's the breaks.

    This was not a good reason idk why I got tilted by it.

    For example, I don't feel any remorse bleeding out sabo squads since they want it anyway. But this was not it.

    Nope, not unless I had to tunnel a non-toxic survivor to secure a kill.

    As a survivor, I never want to be tunneled. So I never tunnel as killer.

    As a killer, I know it can be stressful when survivors toxic on me. So I never toxic on killer or try to get attention from them.

    Usually, yes. For me, it depends a lot on a few aspects... if a Survivor is hellbent in getting my attention then it's free real state. Otherwise, if I get maps were I can't pressure properly for a multitude of reasons then I will tunnel someone strategically to have a chance at actually winning... and I hate it, but in this situation I blame the game more for requiring me to tunnel to stand a chance than me for doing the smart thing in a game I know I will lose beforehand lest I do. I hate doing it so much because it's not fun and I know it's so frustrating for the Survivor-players.

    In general gameplay, I try my best at not tunnelling. I hate being tunnelled and I hate tunnelling...

    Absolutely not, because it's not something to feel bad about. Just because others want you to, you have no obligation, because it is literally the game...


    "Oh I let you go do the most boring part of the game for longer because I don't want to keep harassing you while you play skill check games with your friends. Why don't I go F off and make less optimal decisions because that should be something I should have to think about"


    No, I just give the last 1-2 an escape if it's quite obvious they would probably lose anyway. That's alot more fair when I feel like being kind, than playing in a way that makes me less efficient and juggling whether I like the other players enough to intentionally play against the established mechanics.

    Nah.

    As a wise man once said - 'tunneling is like eating a puppy. If you do it all the time you probably need to seek help, but if it's that or starve, pass the ketchup'.

    I'll only start tunneling if it's very lategame and I'm getting nowhere by other means. That said - if you run into me, I'm taking you down.

    If your flashlight clicking or tbagging me then no I don’t feel bad. I did however have a game today, I was playing as demogorgon and I got a quick down thanks to lethal purser on a Dwight. I down him with my shred going up the stairs and then hook him. He gets unhook immediately and doesn’t move. I down him and hit a feng trying to body block and I hook him again. I go after a Laurie and down her at shack and hooked . Dwight gets unhooked and healed and I downed him again and he was moved this time. He finished the game with 2k points. That’s awful and I felt bad. That lead to me getting a 4k as 4 gens with 3 people was too much

    I don't feel bad when I tunnel someone out of the game

    Interesting way of putting it. I do feel a little bit of sting whenever a gen pops and the match is not going so well.

    I can if I do it by accident. Most of the time though if I tunnel it's because I was teabagged at a pallet or something like that. Though, in those cases, I prefer to slugcamp the teabagger instead. If I think I already have enough BP to have made the match worthwhile I'll bleed out the teabagger and then let the other survivors farm points off of me.

    Not one bit. I've gotten DS'd, BT body blocked, and have been sent angry messages too many times.

    I don't try to tunnel but if a survivor is dumb enough to to stay at a hook and then me as the killer coming to get them then it's on them for staying there and it's also dumb if a survivor shield their the unhooker with barrow time. It shows the killer that they want to be chased.

    As killer is the survivors opponent. The threat that's trying to kill the survivors. If it's endgame it's completely understandable why the killer will tunnel.

    Camping and tunnelling is strategy that help killers to use to win the game for them.

    Note don't follow that made up rulebook from the survivors because you're the killer not their friend in game. Sorry if I gave you a massive rent I sometimes go overboard on what I'm saying.

    Every time.

    I'm acutely aware that there's a person controlling that Survivor. Being tunneled or camped is never a good feeling and even if it is necessary, it is regrettable.

    I dont feel bad for tunneling because survivors dont feel bad for tea bagging or clicky clicking.

    Anyway, I tunnel only because survivors forced me to do by bodyblocking with BT, dont take protection hits, ect.

    Do survivors feel bad pallet camping with a flashlight?

    Only time I feel bad is if they are clearly pretty new and keep running into me.

    Which isn't really tunneling but try telling that to people.

    It's just a game I'm not really a mass murderer.

    So my lack of empathy for pixels doesn't worry me.

    I've felt bad for tunneling, sure. It usually stems from misinterpreting someone's actions just to get to the end screen and discover they were a clueless Ash IV with no perks.

    I don't like tunneling as a concept, so I actively avoid doing it. I don't give survivors a free pass, of course. I'll let you get away from the hook and hunt the rescuer, but if I run into you again then you're getting slugged. After you get picked up, you're fair game.

    I often get confused about the stigma surrounding tunnelling.

    If a killer tunnels due to them losing, or a bad map etc. I wont complain since they basically have to or they will just lose.

    That said sometimes when I tunnel I do feel a lil bad because I know how unfun it can feel at times.

  • Plsfix369
    Plsfix369 Member Posts: 566

    As a Weak Killer like Trapper and Legion? No way, once i see vulnerabilities in their i kick them out of the game quick. I don't face camp but I do proxy camp and slug a lot.

  • Clevite

    I play how I like to verse, so I don't tunnel, purposefully.

    If I run into you later doing a gen, etc, well I don't consider that tunneling. Unfortunate, yes and I may still feel bad for said player. However letting you go at that point would almost be farming, and I hate farming games as survivor , so back to the hook.

    But, this could be the reason I haven't been hit with DS in a long time.

    Unfortunately as survivor, I hit DS often.

    Not particularly. It’s just a video game. That being said, I don’t tunnel often but if the survivors hand it to me by unhooking in my face etc, why not.

    No, I tunnel justifiably.

    You break my gens fast (you get tunneled)

    You flashlight save toxic (you get tunneled)

    If you bring a Blast Mine (well that's yo ass )
