Maybe someone explain this type of tunneling
So I faced a pyramid head they decide to camp hook since they learned they can just stay FAR away and still make it to the hook easily. So my teammate decides to kill themselves on hook instead of just waiting since it helps us out okay annoying but hey I get it. Now we're down to two gens and I've been looping this guy since all he's been doing is camping. Then I get hooked and see he's camping since last gen popped meaning no free escape. Then I get rescued he decides to tunnel me...I'm sorry but if this is because you only got one kill its because you didn't bother just leaving the hook sight. I'm sorry but I know there's more soft core tunneling where you hit the just rescued survivor to slow the game down(just a little bit) but why tunnel I feel like most people who camped should realize your probably going to get one kill by doing that.

Short answer: A large portion of this player base is boring and play with the intention of ruining the game experience of the opposite side and write it off as "strategy" or find some other random reason to justify boring gameplay
Pyramid Heads are extremely camp- and tunnel-heavy, from my experience, because his power lets him punish both the rescuer and the unhooked at the same time with no penalty whatsoever.
I find it aggravating that his power has no anti-camp mechanics, when such mechanics already exist with other killers like Artist and Singularity.
It's probably simply the only way they can get kills. Lots of players are casual and have no desire to learn the game or strive to get better. It is what it is.
Before you accept any of the rather poor opinions being dressed up as facts here.
Ask yourself... What do you know about this player outside of the one game you played with them?
The answer is nothing, so lets not jump to conclusions based on largely nothing. (We humans love to do that but it's generally bad)
You don't have to know anything extra, but lets look at some of the conclusions being made here on the basis of that singular shallow and, lets face it, rather meaningless interaction.
"play with the intention of ruining the game experience of the opposite side" - assumed motivation, not fact.
"It's probably simply the only way they can get kills." Assumed skill level, not fact.
Even you have made some finality to your opinions based on one "boring" game.
So lets flip all the negativity on its head and make some positive counter assumptions.
Maybe they chose to play defensively after a long string of chase heavy games... not a fact, but just as probable as any other opinion given here and far less negatively judgmental of the opponent.
Maybe they felt outplayed by good survivors and switched up to a defensive game instead... not a fact but again just as probable and far less negative.
So by all means bemoan a bad or boring game as you put it, sometimes you are gonna get bad games nothing wrong with saying so.
But know when to draw the line at critiquing a game outcome and engaging in unsubstantiated assumptions that often lead to players attacking each other outside of the game.
Remember with something as inconsequential as a computer game its not what happens to you that matters but how you react to it.
I'm not going to defend camping or tunnelling for most of the game because it stinks, but you have to understand that once the exit gates are powered it's time for somebody to die.
There's no tunnelling or camping in my book come the end game. I don't expect Killers to play nice when the gates are powered and you shouldn't either.
Sounds like someone who isn't that great at playing if they have to camp the hooks like that. I see it all the time. Their fragile ego is hurt and they get so desperate to "win" they do this.
Instead of improving and learning how to play PH without resorting to these sad tactics, they just do this and think it's a win. It's like using hot glue to make a costume instead of a serger.
Yeah no worries, no disrespect intended. You have a valid perspective, OP didn't think it was a good game and said why. Just wanted to broaden the point a lil so that its critiquing the game and less so the players.
Sorry that game was ruined for you but its kinda just one of those things, and yeah the motivation doesn't matter not unless you're a player who wants to moralistically attack other players outside of game because of perceived slights.
I'm not implying you are one of theses people but I can already see the one's who are starting to comment and it always muddies the water and ruins what could be genuinely thoughtful discussion of game mechanics.
I'm no angel believe me but its only the 4th layer of hell because its full of people who treat it as such and now they are angry at the consequences of their own actions.
Honestly I'd rather play against 100 camping/tunneling killers who didn't take it too seriously over even 1 game against the collection of highly triggered; incapable of separating the game from the real world; behaviour police; that are frequently spewing bile at each other over a game.
It sounded like he was getting other hooks and chases throughout the game, or was he just focusing you only?
It sounds like you just got caught three times and your teammate threw the game by hook self deletion early anyway. Id be much more mad at the survivor for giving up.
