Built in BT and DUMB unhooks

It's crazy to me that now survs have built in BT, everyone is like yeah cool I will do really unsafe unhooks all the time now because we have built in BT.

Then when my terrible unhook causes the other surv to get tunneled I will complain to the Killer and devs about tunneling.

Edit: I also hate this when I play Killer.

    To be fair, teammates doing dumb as hell unhooks has been a constant in solo for as long as I remember.

    And I think the bump from basekit BT is probably balanced out by people not farming hooks as much since WGLF had the bonus removed.

    Gonna be a mad concept but when you could chase a survivor who's got 2 hits left in them and moves 10% faster for 10 seconds, as well as having a potential 3 second stun at the end of it all, or you could chase someone who you could probably hit fairly easily if the unhook is that unsafe meaning they've only got 1 hit left in them, moves at normal speed, and doesn't have a potential 3 second stun to undo the chase, then it's probably a better idea to, and repeat with me class: Chase! The! Unhooker!

    That's right, it's a brand new gameshow coming to Netflix, Chase! The! Unhooker! is all about watching players in Dead By Daylight tunnel through built-in anti-tunnel measures even when it makes more macro sense to actually not do that, only for them to complain about those anti-tunnel measures preventing them from tunneling which causes them to throw the game instead of chasing the unhooker which, as the substantially smarter play in a lot of scenarios, actually would give them a much bigger chance at winning.

    You’re still going to have killers return to hooks and all they see is a blood trail. This just gives that poor soul who was unhooked a chance to get to a tile. ‘No chance, no choice.’

    And thank god for that. Tired of being punished for my teammates mistakes. Maybe this will teach people when it is and isn't a good time to unhook.

    I can live with that.

    what does my head in is the... Oh look the killer is stupidly close, if I unhook this person whos already been hooked now then built in Bt will save them from my dumb-#########

    And, good. Punish the player who makes the stupid unhook, don't punish the player who had no say in the matter of themselves being unhooked.
