    This question exists for 6 years.

    Oh, no, because this time they promised to put it in a patch. There is a difference in asking for something to be patched, and something actually being announced.

    Well, I can tell that tunneling is harder now.

    Camping the same. Yes, dirty and unhealthy but viable tactics are still exists.

    When? I'm not allowed to answer.

    OTR And base kit 5 second endurance from unhook is there solution it seems....

    and camping and tunneling has been buffed this patch

    OTR is the only thing that somewhat slows down tunneling, but the faster recovery times meant to pick up a new chase also makes tunneling easier. Slap on Thana and Corrupt Intervention, and you can basically get a free kill early on.

    So since this patch made both camping and tunneling easier as a whole, I'm wondering when hook timer pausing/slowdown returns. I dont see a reason for it to not be added now, chase has been buffed. I get that back in the day it was temporarily added and relatively easily abused, but that was due to chasing not actually being beneficial back then. People would just go to a pallet or window and loop you while a person gets unhooked for free. But with less overall pallets thanks to the map reworks and the overall faster recovery times on the killer side, refusing to chase a survivor thats near a hook that would pause the hooktimer would be your own fault.

    You get 5 whole seconds of BT! What more do you want? Oh and btw we nerfed the current bandaid to stop tunneling I'm decisive strike. Because we decided if you have 5 whole seconds off hook you can avoid being tunneled. Trust us we TOTALLY play this game at a high level

    They literally nerfed decisive strike purely on the basis of the perk being popular without understanding WHY it's popular.

    Actually no, they even said they're aware of why killers tunnel & camp, but then proceed to nerf DS without any base kit mechanic to help against it.

    The 5 seconds base-kit BT is so worthless it's unbelievable.

    You need to understand 1 thing, Tunneling in some situations is the only viable way for killer to have at least 1 kill, considering the unfairness of this game prepatch.

    Again prepatch: If all killers were playing by the survivors "rule book", there will be no kills for killers.

    If you played this game on a highest lvl, (prepatch) camping and tunneling is a "needed" sacrifice for killer to have a chance of winning.

    (Imagine defending such cruel, unfun, lame tactics)

    I wanna go to church after what I just wrote...
