Instant Unhooking & Tunneling

I mean, you don't have to think of it as the survivor rulebook, you can just do it because you want to

I actually have noticed that, from the killer perspective- not sure why the sudden uptick in survivors deciding to get their teammates killed, it's kind of a problem.

Granted, it's not too bad if the unhooker is still there to try and body block and take aggro, then it's more of a regular ballsy play instead of just a terrible decision.

Not sure if it's entirely related but we've noticed more killers hanging really close to the hooks lately as well. Might be the reason survivors are bumb rushing unhooks....or the other way around.

It's usually a function of survs descending on the hook. If you're a killer and a team has demonstrated that one or more of them will come to the hook almost immediately, you'd be an idiot to go far.

Rule #1 of avoiding camping/tunneling: give the killer a reason to leave the vicinity of the hook. It's the surv's responsibility to do this, not the killer's responsibility to run away from the hook just because.

If the killer refuses to leave regardless, that's scummy, and there's nothing you can do about it. But you have to at least give them the opportunity to leave.

Now I will almost always go for the unhooker rather than the unhooked (unless the uhooked body blocks with their BT, in which case they are getting an express ticket out of the game), but make no mistake: 9 times out of 10 going for quick unhooks is a survivor throw, simple as.

Good job throwing some more shade on killers and making your overall stands on the bias scale clear.

But i think the topic is about unhooks with killer still in eyesight aka way too early and most probably some new player thinking that the baseline 10 sec but would be a freebie at a save unhook which it isn't.

Woosh

Thank you, I spent approximately 3 minutes on it.

its because everyone wants kindred basekit yet nobody bothers to actually run it. the lack of information excuse only goes so far compared to the allure of basekit BT, especially to newer players. Safe unhooking is extremely unintuitive by design, it has to be learned in a way the game doesn't naturally teach.

Survivor's need to stop pretending people tunnel and camp as much as they do. I have been hard tunneled once in all of my survivor games since 6.1.0. It may happen to some people more frequently, but most of the time it happen I bet it's some terrible killer player who is just trying to squeeze out a kill.

So you are saying that every game you play the killer either camps for a good amount of time or tunnels someone from first hook until dead? That's just hard to believe. Maybe killers from 8pm to 4am are just built different.

I'm in your walls of course. Nah that's when I play.

I'll give you a few reasons.

Like every other game as killer is either a sweaty TTV SWF or people stacking BNP with gen rush builds & popping 2 gens as you get your first hook.

If you try and play a non meta killer with average pressure and chase potential or run perk builds that are non meta then you get spam tbagged and survivors will wait at the gate to spam tbag you regardless if there only 2 of them left.

Survivors see a non meta build or killer as something to taunt opposed to something different they might have a fun game with.

This constant cycle basically causes a lot of killers to play dirty in every match with complete disregard to the survivors enjoyment or feelings.

It's so common now to play these types of games over and over that when a bunch of solo players that aren't toxic want to play for fun they basically get treated as if they're going to be one of the above mentioned type of team/player.

You unhook right after the killer walks away, they're gonna start coming back.

I'm the same when I play killer, I try to go after the unhooker. But if I keep running across the same survivor because the others are ninjas, then I'm going to have a pang of regret but hook them because that's the game.

Why?
