How do I report harassment and bullying by killers
Is there a way to prevent being tunneled and harassed by other players?
i run two anti tunnel perks and killer still tunnel and I get killed when there are still 5 or 4 gens done.
behavior hasn’t been any help because it’s a “strategy “ for killers but why should it be??
why should a player spend more time searching for the game then in it??
and this get better at looping bs I get from ant killer is so childish. Everyone gets downed and I don’t think my looping skills is the reason for a specific targeted harassment tactic. Why are we just accepting this when years back the whole killer community was in uproar over god loops so those got changed but the tunnels have been happening for years but this year it is absolutely rampant and pretty disgusting.

You are not being harassed.

Tunneling can't be reported. Also slugging, camping and tea-bagging

Short answer: you don't stop it. Killers are gonna play this way regardless because it's a technique thats been around since the beginning of dbd and the devs don't see it as an issue and seem to actually encourage the gameplay style. If you hate it that badly don't play dbd since it's built on gimmicks and exploits like this

Your best bet is get good at not being caught in the first place.
Try distortion, calm spirit, Sprint burst, urban evasion. Focus on not being caught. Don't run everywhere leaving a trail of scratch marks...

Tunneling is not necessarily considered harassment.
If the same Killer is injecting himself into your lobbies and constantly targeting you that can be technically considered harassment. Unfortunately, unless you are a big name streamer with a steady follower base, BHVR won't do anything to protect you even if you reach out to them.
My best tip is to find a SWF to play with, there are a lot of survivors out there who love being chased and tunneled so you can get more chill games.

Its an elimination game. As long as that is an element of the game, trying to remove a survivor early will always be a primary strategy.
Low MMR hell is a huge problem for the game. The balance of the game is built around survivors doing some working together, when that doesn't happen the game becomes incredibly one sided. If one survivor is being tunneled there are ways to play around it, but the survivors really need to know what they are doing to have a chance.
If you are consistently being tunneled, one question is why are you being targeted. The killer doesn't know you from the other survivors, he has no reason to pick you specifically unless there is a way that you make yourself more vulnerable than the other survivors.
My recommendation when its clear you are being tunneled, learning to be a god looper isn't going to work, instead learn the map and go to the areas that the killer doesn't want to be. If you're two hooked and no one else is, go hide in an area away from gens. The killer will waste time looking for you and will eventually need to start chasing other survivors. If you are hard tunneled off hook, head as far away from the gens as you can. You can put the killer in the position that if they want to tunnel you they risk losing multiple gens to do it.

Reporting Killers for tunneling or camping and claiming it is harassment is false reporting.
Sending in repeated false reports gets your account blacklisted for a few days or weeks from the report system and your reports basically get sent into a void where BHVR does not look at them.
I think BHVR mentioned this a few years back or so, it's to prevent moderators from having their time wasted on false reports.
If you need to brush up on DBD's rules, you can check the Information Center listed on the top of the DBD Forum website, there are a few links that lead to the Forum and Ingame Rules.

So just to get this right. You are complaining about long queues and also want killers punished that you consider are harassing you. Yes?

It's not a reportable offense. Many killer players are completely dependent on tunneling out the weakest link on a team as early as possible. It's the easiest way to win and often the only way to win for less experienced killer players who can't consistently win chases against decent survivors. The "get better at looping" advice isn't BS. It's not bullet-proof, but the best way to avoid being consistently tunneled out is to not be an easy target, or better yet, be a difficult target. That takes a lot of time and effort being put into your survivor skills. And even then, you can only do so much. I've had recent games where the killer chased me first, left me, and still had someone dead at 3 gens remaining. Solo queue is hell. That's the only constant.
