Why do you hate when killers tunnel but its fine when survivors do it?

I see threads almost daily complaining about Survivors not healing and doing gens instead.

Putting aside the absolute ridiculousness of your statement (seriously, Survivors cannot tunnel someone out) and looking at your basal argument...half of these things are throwing and the other half are already complained about.

Survivors do not usually have time to do totems or chests, nor do they generally have time to waste healing after the self-healing nerfs in the current meta. Just like Killers usually do not have time to one-hook everyone, then two-hook everyone and then three-hook everyone.

Speaking of which, I find it endlessly amusing that the cycle continues. I watched this exact thing play out five years ago after the first round of self-healing nerfs. Killers complained about Survivors healing too quickly, BHVR obliged them and nerfed healing. Survivors didn't waste time healing and just, to quote you, tunneled gens...you know, their only objective. Killers complained that gens went too quickly and the cycle continues to this day.

Whats ridiculous about that statement?

If you boil the core gameplay down, gens are nothing else for the killer than what hook stages are for survivors.

Survivors don´t waste time on totems, because there simply are no strong hex (or boon) perks right now. Even more, teammates will complain about anyone who does totems instead of gens, since we have the HUD.

Maybe killers are still complaining about gens, because in most matches 2 or 3 gens are finished by the time the killer gets the first hook.

Dude I understand you 100% and agree with you but it's totally pointless arguing with these people on here. You bring up a very valid point and a observation of total hypocrisy from the survivor side.

My favorite is when you kick a gen and it has blast mine on it and the survivor nearby finishes the gen while you are standing right there blinded and can't do anything about it. Just totally cocky and absurd gameplay but it's ok. Killer does anything even close to this crap and they get immediatly flamed and called out.

I would love to see some stats to back that claim up.

I doubt BHVR will release those though.

3 gens are a think since dbd existed. The game is as @Reinami stated designed around the killer being stronger in end game. Less gens to defend = less traversing the map = less space that needs to be covered.

If survivors play it correct and destroy the 3 Gen before it becomes problematic for then, they played well. If they play themselves into the problematic 3 gen situation, they played badly and deserve to have to deal with an endgame advantage of the killer. Pushing through a 3 Gen isn't impossible it just becomes very hard without coordination, some killer perks and our dear lady with her drones of torment.

Who cares what he would call you, him hopping on a gen in your face makes it not tunneling. Hence the conspicuous action and his potential OTR/DS being gone.

This game is asymmetrical, survivors "tunneling" generators is not the same as the killer tunneling someone out. As a survivor, when a killer is hard tunneling, you will get no meaningful killer interaction in that game unless you want to throw the game and take 500 hits (which still won't result in fun interaction, you will just get slugged on the ground, no chase) or you are lucky enough to find a spot where you can stand and take one hit. The killer will never chase you, never commit to you until that guy is dead, so your game is now just holding M1 on generator. It puts you in a scenario where there's no interaction or fun for you and you can only do gens. And as the tunneled survivor it's not always fun taking chases when they're right off hook or in deadzones where you have little to work with.

Contrast this with killer, when survivors "tunnel generators" aka focus on their objective. Keep in mind we're not talking about the game balance here, like with tunneling, the same arguments apply for why it is hated/boring even if the killer has 0 chance of winning anyway. When survivors focus on generators over everything else, they are not denying you as a killer interaction with them, unless they are literally holding M1 on a gen and never getting off even if you come to kill them. You can still chase anyone you want, use your power however you want, etc. The ball is completely in your court. You want to get your daily/archive/challenge? Go ahead, some might be hard, but no one can stop you from traveling to any location on the map, or initiating chase with any survivor. You want to have fun chases? Go for it. Survivors "tunneling" generators only speeds the game up and forces you to use your time wisely.

You can make an argument that it is unfun for you as a killer to lose in a fast game, but that is a balance conversation. If generators took 10 minutes to complete, would you gripe about survivors "tunneling" generators? No, because it changes nothing. It does not limit your interaction with the opponent nor force you into any one playstyle. Meanwhile, what if survivors had 10 hook states? Tunneling would still be just as boring as ever, you would not be getting chased, you will get no interaction, you get forced into either doing gens all game or running from the killer all game. That is the fundamental difference between the two because this is an asymmetrical game.
