It’s ok to admit you tunneled…

Did you make an attempt to block for the person you unhooked?

Did you take a hit?

I realize you were injured but you could've made it more convenient to hook you than chase the other guy, it doesnt work all the time, but often you can get them to get you instead.

I alwaya run sabotage for these situations either they break it up to get me or i make it real hard to get that next hook on the person i unhook.

There are only really two outcomes to this, depending on opinion.

Either tunnelling is always a bad thing, in which case this clearly isn't tunnelling.

Or, this is tunnelling, so tunnelling is at worst a value-neutral term and not all instances of tunnelling are a problem.

Personally, I think the first option is the more productive angle to take. It muddies the water to include situations where survivors misplay so badly that they get downed again soon after unhook, it's hard to talk about tunnelling as a bad thing that warrants fixing that way.

Truuue.

I'm not a big fan of tunneling, neither experiencing it as survivor or doing it as killer, but swfs that all use the same cosmetic don't get to complain about being tunneled. I generally play in duos and sometimes we get two identical Neas or Megs as teammates, that will often try and mess with the killer and then complain about one of them getting tunneled ??

If you're wearing the same thing how could they know ?

If you’re doing it at 5 gens only to go out of your way to make a survivor’s experience miserable, then yes there is something wrong with that.

The word "admit" somewhat implies wrong doing.

Ok there's a lot to unpack here. First off, tunneling is sometimes necessary in order for the killer to have some chance of winning. Sometimes you get unlucky or get gens done in 50 seconds etc. You need to get someone out quickly then.

Then we have the other kind which is just tunneling someone out because of spite or some other petty reason. Thing is, how would we deal with tunneling so it doesn't completely screw up killers in the n.1 scenario?

Personally I think if the killer would be required to get 12 hooks, then there would need to be a massive increase of the time needed to repair generators. Otherwise it's pretty much impossible. And that's not ideal either, so what do we do?

Perhaps a more adequate title for this post would have been "its ok to tunnel"

Otherwise it might appear you're simply trying to shame killers in a passive aggressive manner.

As would be the proper strat for Nemi in this situation. If you got two survivors on two close hooks, I don't see why you'd leave lol

Theres no such thing as a "safe unhook" in this situation unless the killer is the nicest chap you've ever met.

technically tunneling is when a killer focus to take down a single survivor, no matter what it will goes in his way (people who bodyblock/do gens while the killer is just 2 meter ahead/other survivors that could be an easier pray due to being in the open without pallets or windows), he will focus only on that specific survivor until he will be dead for good. in that case this felt like tunneling because those survivors didn't had "breathing room", since they were chased instantly the moment that they left the hook, but it really isn't.

Verdict is not tunnelling. Nem gained the advantage and played accordingly.

Re-downing and re-hooking like this isn't tunneling and there is nothing wrong with doing so. Both players were the easier targets and so he went after them.

The problem is that you just can't know what the random person on the internet playing againt you is thinking. Sometimes you'll get people that just want to play a fun game. Usually, you'll get sweaty tryhards that will stop at nothing to get their kill asap so they can brag to their 10 cats about how good they are before their mom tells them to wash off that sweat and go to bed. It's just the way PvP games will always be.

Best way to avoid these kinds of games is to have 4 friends and just play customs where you can control how people play better.

What you mention only focusing one survivor is hard tunneling. But this killer tunneled stragedically survivor A out. But in between also downed and hooked another survivor to be effient. Because just hard tunneling one out and ingroning others is not usually good stragedy and he did get easy down with startruck. He most likely would tunneled survivor A out even if he didn't get survivor B. As he ingroned injured unhooker.

"his only offense of tunnelling".

Dude, tunnelling isn't an offence.

You’re thinking of the definition of offense as in: “a breach of a law or RULE.” That’s objective. It’s fact and can’t be debated or disputed. There is no RULE that says killers can’t tunnel. I am not an advocate for entitled hidden survivors’ rulebook. But at the same time I personally choose to go by it when I play killer, because I do not like how it feels when it’s done to me as survivor. I keep that same energy and don’t get upset at killers for using it, just frustrated with the game’s design.

I’m referring to a second definition of offense as in: “annoyance or resentment brought about by a PERCEIVED insult to or disregard to oneself or one’s standards or principles.” This definition is Subjective. So in other words, players like myself can get offended when being tunneled because we ourselves find that in poor sportsmanship (just an opinion). When we play killer, we don’t tunnel. That’s our principle(s). This is our perception, hence me calling it an “offense.”

I prefaced that last line by acknowledging tunneling is a strat and killers are well in their right to do so. Why would you completely ignore that? You come across as being defensive & one who gatekeeps tunneling. Do you not agree with me that’s it’s a strat and well in the killer’s right to use it?

Then I used the word wrong. Apologies. But I’m definitely referring to it as the second definition. One misuse of a word shouldn’t contradict the entire idea (at least I don’t think so- especially since it’s one word vs. an entire thought that prefaced it). What I wrote prior in regards to tunneling being a strat and in the killer’s rights shows my true thoughts, and if anything, one should be able to determine I misused the word. I mean, the same word has more than one meaning. That’s my opinion anyway- even if it’s an unpopular one.

Anyways we are going off topic here- remember my original post was in relation to this thread, suggesting maybe OP’s killer only tunneled once and he forgot, and that’s why he denied it.
