100% against the new anti tunnel update
I face SWFS everytime I play killer and they already sweat and play the game extremely well. There's plenty of perks and setups to stop a killer from tunneling. If the killer is camping the hook they don't even need half those perks, they can pop gens and trade 1 for 1 making it an easy win for Survivors. Reassurance, babysitter, etc are there if they semi camp hook and can get back quick. There's off the record, Decisive Strike, and so many perks to give survivors an advantage if the killer tunnels off the hook.
My other main issue with this update is killers choose to hook survivors near the three gen and survivors already run away to counter it, even if they don't then that's the strength of that strategy, you're effectively making a bunch of perks like agitation and Iron Grasp useless. Unless you're playing a top tier killer that can get to people on gens quick then you're making the majority of killers much weaker. Survivors are gonna get off the hook, run somewhere and heal themselves or wait for another suvivor.
I can see that you guys planned this in phases by starting with making survivors spawn together but that was alredy a major change that affected a lot, this PTB anti tunnel is way too much. I play solo survivor the majority of the time and we get out or pop the majority of gens no problem unless it's an S tier killer like Nurse, Blight, Oni and more recently the clown. 70% of the killers have to sweat and play extremely well to produce more than a 2k. How you guys even remotely think this is a good idea is beyond me, and that's including if you're accounting for there being a lot more survivor players then killers.
The amount of hours it takes to learn each killer vs playing any survivor over and over is another reason I'm against this, this update is beyond trash and I can tell youIl 've already met a ton of people that don't play the game anymore because they were winning most matches as SWF AND solo if it wasn't a S tier killer. Can guarantee this update is gonna make a bunch of people flat out quit playing and not want to come back. How many people ditched overwatch after they released Overwatch 2 charging people for a game they had already bought, pretty much everyone playing marvel rivals.
Last thing I'll add, you're making it effectively anti tunnel on the person that goes for hook saves as well because chasing a full health survivor that isn't on a gen is free gen pops for the other 2 survivors. I'm amazed you guys don't think survivors that already have an advantage on the majority of killers aren't going to abuse these changes in so many ways. You're gonna have a bunch of killers switch to S tier killers just to counteract these changes and that ruins the fun for everyone.

i have played according to these beta rules for years now. it is not that serious. It will be and adjustment and a learning curve….but that is necessary for the future health of the game. Tunneling isnt necessary, people are just hyper-competitive and desperate for that dopamine boost when you get a win.

I play by the "Thou shalt not tunnel or camp" rules as well, but I'm already running into players exploiting this (intentionally or otherwise.) I was playing PTB as Shape, chasing one of the only survivors not dead on hook. Another survivor who was just unhooked kept taking body blocks to protect there teammate, I tried to down them with M1 so they wouldn't be in my way, but since I was in Evil Incarnate mode, I moried them on accident, and then got punished with the universal gen blocking. I had six hooks btw.

this is something im concerned about and something that was gonna happen no matter what. but fortunately it is not going to be as common or as impactful as tunneling. I hate players that do stuff like this to take advantage of a system that is supposed to help them have fun. Tunneling was abused to the point of getting this update, why are they trying to ruin it by abusing its mechanics. Itll be annoying for a bit but adjustments will be made to make killer lives easier if needed

Gaslighting that survivors won't abuse the hell out of this to make bad plays, weaponize it, and generally be twats as if we didn't live through old ds where if the killer downed anyone they could get off with no issues, or MFT for extending chases forever, or even abusing the streetwise but with glee
