First Hook Incentives

BBQ, before it was changed, did a great job incentivizing killers to avoid tunneling and to hook survivors. Now that the bonus BP is gone, it's obviously run a lot less, and complaints about tunneling and camping seem to be more frequent.

I think that some manner of first hook incentive should be base kit - for example, your first hook on your first survivor could be +1000 BP, then first hook survivor 2 is +2000, then +3000, and +5000 if you first hook everyone. The numbers obviously can be tweaked, this is just an example. Killer players would be happy to get more BP and obviously survivor players would be happy to be tunneled less, even if only slightly.

    I tunnel out 1st survivor. Then I tunnel out 2nd survivor. Then 3rd and I finally hook last person 1x. I just got all your incentives even tho I super-hard tunneled from the first time I saw 1st survivor...

    Then why did people tunnel less with old BBQ when it works the same way?

    Because it has nothing to do with BBQ and everything to do with DS being quite punishing to the point where it's more optimal to chase someone else then to hard tunnel.

    I mean - sure old BBQ could have helped the situation in chill-MMR where people still troll and loot chests and so on. But once you get to the point where people try, DS is much stronger argument BY FAR
