Survivors that complain about tunnelling, what do you think about this?
From the killer perspective, once a survivor has been unhooked they have at their disposal to use:
- self-care
- free heals from fellow survivors
- medkit (potentially with styptic syringe or bottled bt)
- we'll make it
- borrowed time
- boon totem for more free heals
- boon totem for hiding scratches
- iron will + lucky break to completely hide away
- decisive strike
- unbreakable
- etc etc etc
Soooo many second chance perks that essentially allow them to reset their health state ridiculously easily. And that just makes the killer's job a lot harder because now they'll need two hits to go down instead of just one. And that'll apply for their next two hooks. For each survivor!
So why wouldn't/shouldn't killers tunnel straight off the hook to prevent the survivor from exploiting this? A free heal, particularly when granted by a single boon perk that the killer can do nothing about will surely force the killers to change playstyle further towards the direction survivors don't like?
*yeah, I know killers can stamp the totem out, but that requires finding it, and it doesn't destroy the totem so it can be relit, and that one perk (out of 16 the survivors bring) provides a practical benefit to all survivors which allows them to forgo carrying a medkit, or equipping self-care, or wasting time trying to find another survivor to heal up. And multiple totems can be lit by different survivors! Where are the survivors who cried about Spirit's "no counter" now? This is completely uncounterable.*
I'm just wondering if/when there'll be a point when even survivors recognise the that they've got so many crutches to rely upon, that crying for more (and indeed being granted more) ultimately forces the killers down a path that they were unhappy with in the first place?
Either that or many will just quit playing, which in turn will harm the queue times for survivors too.

No. It Is anche optimal strategy like gen rush. Both make to reduce the time of the game, make more difficult for the opponent at cost of interactions from both sides. Complementry optimal unfun strategies, to make the game easier for You, using game design "issues".
