Let's list the mechanics with which the came rewards tunneling

Because, lbr, it does:

  • you actually get more points if people don't heal
  • you get more points the fewer gens are done while getting them damaged (aka chasing people off gens)

now, i guess these things are intended to encourage chases but... practice shows that's not the case

you can think of other ways the came encourages/rewards scummy playing?

    Tunneling isn't scummy. It is a valid, often effective tactic that killers can deploy with mixed success. Likewise, survivors have tools and strategies that that they can deploy to counter and even take advantage of tunneling, again, with mixed success.

    Some of my best games as killer incorporate tunneling to create target switching opportunities and some of my best games as Survivor involve my perk Kindred literally doing all the work and allowing my team to 3 man escape against a very thirsty Leatherface.

    tunneling shouldn't be perceived as 'valid', by all means. even in-universe, the entity's ought to be annoyed by all the hopeless, annoyed and infuriated survivors. it's like a diet of rotten lemons in-universe.

    out-of-universe: lbr, as far-fetched as it sounds, but tunneling, camping and slugging ultimately result in long Qs because people leave the game. there is a flux of new players, but a good chunk leaves for good because the game is just frustrating all around. (the lore is nice though, mostly, which is pretty much the sole reason i'm staying, personally)

    tunneling is a strategy, like it or not. we are not robots you know. if i see you running towards me, i will hit you.

    The game is absolutely frustrating, and the community loses killers to the same kind of tactics, but on the Survivors side. Like SWF's running Keys, Flashlight Brigades, and other hitsquads that run around like they're in a daisy field instead of a life or death situation. Those tactics too are valid, regardless of killer complaint.

    At the end of the day the Devs have access to infinitely more information than we do, and for all we know they've already done cost analysis of different changes to the meta and how fast their population is or isn't dwindling. The recent DS nerf alone is indicator enough that tunneling is not only allowed, it's encouraged when the situation calls for it.

    Edit: I don't know how to quote.
