Why do killers still camp snd tunnel when its a 3v1 at 5 gens?
I always here from killers “i gotta tunnel someone out quick to get a chance to win” “make it a 3v1 early” well i had a teammate dc vs a skull merchant which whatever. She can play normal and still win now right? Wrong! I go for an unhook injured since i didnt want my team to just die on first hook and she leaves me slugged after i almost got it off. just camped all game and left me slugged until she found the feng. 4k points with 5 bloodpoint offerings. Waste of a game

Skull Merchant is such a giant red flag, it's very unrealistic to expect a fair game. It's just basic psychology. No reasonable person likes this killer, on both sides. So if you're facing someone who picks her, especially during anniversary, then you're most likely against a maniac. The SM player either plans to ruin your day or hold you hostage. There's a reason why your teammate DC'd
(btw please don't unhook in a 3v1 your teammate almost certainly wanted to get out)

Uh if you get DC early game, the game is basically guaranteed win and might as well finish it up and go next.
It's not like everyone loves to waste time in done matches, either.
And it's quite strange you decided to get mad against killer rather than your teammate, though.
Not to mention the fact you labelled tunneling/camping as something that is not "normal", which is objectively false as those things are literally a normal gameplay everything is built around.

No by normal i meant that now the skull merchant doesnt have to camp for tunnel since she will win anyways. She can play for hooks and chases and still win and i would have not been upset.we would have at least gotten some bloodpoints. But having 5 bloodpoint offerings and leaving the game with 4k points? Yeah awesome

'Might as well finish it up' is quite a funny statement you made there. If you weren't aware, slugging and camping actually wastes more time than just hooking and gives you way less points. You might as well make the most use out of FIVE bloodpoint offerings, right?
Slugging and camping is the most annoying thing a killer can even do in this game, right behind being toxic in EGC and holding the game hostage. They have every right to get angry at the killer ESPECIALLY since their teammate DC'd and the killer is still doing stuff like that still. I understand using slugging as a strategy to win, but the killer has already won - just like you mentioned. If a survivor played just as annoyingly since they knew they would win I'm sure you'd be the first to complain.
Skull Merchants are already miserable enough to face.

Exactly. Killer players always say “i need ti make it a 3v1 asap” well you got one. Very early too.

Maybe they lost one game and need to get to 500th win streak again.

This doesn't apply for all players. It's so easy to just stereotype and put everyone in one bag. For example, I like to play SM sometimes but I don't want 40 min game, I usualy run haste build or haste addons anyway.

In this scenario or if we have a suicide on hook player, I usually play the game normally but go for 6 hooks evenly across the remaining 3.
Anyone who is a teabagging I will kill, but unless I'm 1 pip from ranking up, and that DC will really hurt me, I'll let the others complete gens and escape.

I have one potential explanation. Have you ever been in a game as killer after someone died, where the others knew they wouldn't win? There are only 2 ways the game can go from there. Either the survivors run up to the killer and try to end the game asap or all of them hide.
And when nobody is doing their objective, the killer has no way of finding survivors. I remember 1 game where I was basically held hostage for more than 40 minutes because someone dced early on. Funnily enough the survivors told me that I deserved this for playing in a way that'd make someone dc.
Or it might be they were intentionally trying to ruin everyone's fun. It happens to the best of us.

I have a lot dcs when i play killer. Survivors gives up when they can't win. Or when they don't like your killer, they will dc. If you outplay them, they will dc.
But this don't mean you have to be mean to others who stays. You can kill them sure but if you are camping at this point, i don't know what to say lol. Game is already easy mode when someone dc/die at 5 gens, get max bp you can get is better option but ofcourse everyone is not me.

It's pretty much the fastest way to end the game. A game that is already decided is boring for both sides, so of course most players want to get it over with. It's less about playing mean and more about playing efficient, so that the game won't drag out longer than necessary. A lot like camping the hook when only one other survivor remains. It's not about desperately trying to get the kill but to keep the game short. Or would you rather spend another 5 minutes walking across the map to look for them both after the unhook with no indication where they might be?
When a killer is afk, most survivors will do gens and get out of there as fast as they can as well (maybe with the exception of opening a chest or doing a totem, when it's convenient). Again, the game is boring so you want to get it over with and play the next game.

Probably to ensure their win. I can’t even say it’s to end things quickly because camping with a DC at 5 gens doesn’t end the match fast.

Something needs to be done about when game is 3vs1 it's basically a loss.

Do not paint every Skull Merchant player with this, as it isn't "basic psychology"
Plenty of us are "reasonable" people who don't do things like this and haven't done things like this.

Well then killer should not complain when it's 3 v 1 and they camp one of the survivors. If other 2 survivors hide and don't do anything. Because at this point, both of them will play for hatch. And it's killer's job to find them.
If killer don't camp and give them chance, they will do gens.
When killer play mean, this happens as well. And then killer is complaining more.

Uhm. No. Just no. No one does that. When one survivor disconnects at the beginning of the match the others won't do gens. Because why would they? They are not going to finish all 5 gens anyway and being on gens means you're easier to be found. The probability that all 3 will hide is much higher.
No matter how you look at it, that match is a waste of time. And that's not the killer's fault but the guy who disconnected. So, if you want to blame anyone for ruining the match at least blame the person, who did ruin it. I can't say I blame anyone for wanting to get out of such a game as soon as possible. It's not fun for either side.

This is such a lie. No killer has willingly camped, slugged or tunnel if they didn't need it in the history of ever. 101% of the camped, slugged, tunnel or 3-gen instances are the survivors' fault. Poor Skull Merchant is such a weak m1 killer, she probably thought you were a bully squad trying to make fun of her on Discord. "Look, she's so weak, we can 3v1 her, hahaha!"
I really hope behaviour takes a good look at game balance, because the game is extremely survivor sided with stuff like hatch preventing the killer getting their hard earned win by letting one player escape for free. It is literally impossible to have fun with weaker killers like Nurse or Blight without getting stomped by survivors and getting only a 3k.

Until gen regression is useful. Then killing survivors will be the best regression. (can't repair when you're dead)

I have yet to play a single “reasonable” skull merchant. Every single one has been the typical sloppy butcher + multiple gen slow down while holding the game hostage for as long as possible. I have no tolerance for this boring garbage anymore so I happily go next as soon as I’m hooked. I’m even okay with being bled out because it’s still way faster than playing the game out.

I had this just yesterday, a survivor got hard-tunneled out of the game very early on by a spirit, at 5 gens. I got found because of DMS and looped her for a bit, but got downed eventually and got face-camped. At 5 gens, after 1 person was hard-tunneled out. My teammates were just standing there all looking like ######### is going on?
Some people have serious issues or love to go on their pathetic powertrips and they bring that into the game. That's all there is to it.

With an early DC I usually kill one more and communicate to one survivor I will let them finish unbothered but I will kill the other one for the 2k. If you're lucky enough get your points and I'll escort you to the gate and watch you go. Usually I pick the survivor that is either struggling the most as a new player or the person busting their ass despite the disadvantage. I don't REALLY feel bad about a DC to be honest as long as 3 stay but I'm usually killing 2 of the 3 left. There are times I will let two live, depends on my mood.
