Survivors complain about "abusive" killer methods towards a 4k. As a survivor, which one is the most annoying to deal with?

    Sorry accidentally clicked, the most annoying is either being face camped the whole match or being tunneled to death.

    Tunneling

    Getting tunneled gives me the big sad. Except when I run them for 5 gens :P

    None.

    Because those are all legit.

    Camping the hook

    Face Camping from the start when the killer is in a really good spot (very early, no gens/ruin still up).

    Tunneling

    Tunneling and getting hit through pallets are the only things that frustrate me in this game, tunneling is legit though.

    Tunneling

    I wish I could select two here to be honest. Slugging and Tunneling are both lame and boring for the survivor targeted, but all of the things listed are still valid tactics, all of which can be punished.

    Camping = do gens

    Tunneling = use DS to either get off shoulder or stall for a minute

    Slugging = use No Mither and / or Unbreakable.

    Hex Ruin = destroy the totem or just hit great skill checks. This one I find amusing when people complain about it, since it’s usually because they either aren’t good enough at skill checks or they can’t be bothered to find the totem. Not even the killer’s problem tbh.

    Addons are an iffy one. Prayer Beads are BS, I’ll give you that, though I’ve never had a huge problem with a killer using OP addons. Sure, it may sway the game in their favour, but that’s kind of the point. They’re meant to make it harder for survivors or at the very least give a different experience to the norm. With instaheals being nerfed, I imagine the outcry to get some killer addons nerfed will be about as bad as when BNP got nerfed to oblivion, I’ve seen that one thread where the comparison of One Hit Downs to instaheals was made (lol) and I wouldn’t be surprised if something dumb came from it. Anyways, back on topic, a lot of addons are usually identifiable and play styles usually can be adjusted to suit it without too much difficulty.

    TL;DR - Slugging and Tunneling are lame for the person targeted but all of the above are perfectly legal and can be punished in some way or another.

    These are all legit means for the killers to get kills

    Camping the hook

    All the others are fair game imo, but camping is just no fun for anyone. Frustrating for survivors, boring for killer, and no one gets to have fun actually playing the game.
