You're fully missing the point of the thread.
The thread is asking: What is my incentive to stay in the game against a hook camper or tunneller?
Your answer: The killer should tunnel.
That's not an answer. And it's not engaging with what is and has been a legitimate problem. You're too obsessed with retaining the ability to tunnel to consider the other perspective.

None of that is going to stop the tunnelling though, is it?

The OP is riled up about a non-issue. The scenario they gave us was them being resentful of a clever singularity player that outplayed all 4 survivors. I play survivor every day, I know how it works, I know the gameplay loop. Because of that, I recognize what actual hard tunneling is and am able to differentiate it from a good killer playing smart. Otzdarva already came up with the best anti tunnel proposition and everyone hated it. Killer players hated it because it gave an inch and they're worried the balance team will take a mile, and suvivor players hated it because they want to be immune to their own mistakes.

What should be done about game one?
Nerf tunnelling. If the killer has no incentive to tunnel, they'd opt to hook the downed survivor instead of sprinting back to hook to tunnel and/or deny unhook.
The killer played the game to win and it's framed as some kind of injustice
No, what's being framed as an injustice is that this survivor player is saying 'I don't see a reason to continue playing if killers do everything in their power to diminish gameplay'. It's the killers once again getting their knickers in a twist over someone saying 'tunnelling/camping is bad for gameplay'.

This is exactly the kind of sanitization of killer gameplay that should be avoided. Singularity had one survivor hooked, chased another, checked his cam, saw someone rotating in for the save and snowballed into maximum pressure. This is high macro awareness on the killer's part and his reward was the win.

But the survivor main proposition is instead to punish that player's good gamesense because it was interpreted as a toxic offense. The post is a soft admission to wanting the killer to be railroaded into bot-like gameplay and to place a hard cap on the ability to build pressure.

Game 1 is a survivor going for an unhook while the killer is chasing someone else. This is now considered a 'massive misplay'.
Killers are just getting worse, aren't they?

What should be done about game one? Should the killer be disallowed from interrupting an unhook? If you catch someone rotating in for the save, is it unsportsmanlike to stop them?

Zombies are RNG and can be annoying. You are trying to finish gen and suddenly zombie lady comes to visit you and refusese to go away until you drop a pallet on her. Also getting hit because zombie is just behind corner a wall standing without a sound warning mid chase is very fun! /s
Nemesis players usualy like to tunnel the hell out of anyone they catches first.

Except that reds were always paired with greens, because they're within 6 ranks. We've been over this.
Ranks were great for reds, giving them easy games, but crap for mid-level players.
You were obviously red, so it's no wonder you want to go back to stomping noobs.

Rainbow matches only happened when I played at like 4 AM and the queue was borked. There was a shortage of killer players because in 2019 there was a lot of busted ######### that scared people away.

I should mention too that I was simultaneously red rank survivor and killer.

You need a loose MMR system in order for it to work as a casual game. Which is what we have.
You can't have a casual game if newbies are paired with pros all the time.

A good thing that it wasn't treated as a comp game

Sick of BHVR flip-flopping about whether this is a party game or a competitive fighting game. Reminds me of how Facebook tries to dodge lawsuits by simultaneously claiming to be a public and private entity.

If this is a comp game, then the bloodweb should just be a loadout screen and there should be a draft with a killer/map/perk banlist

If this is a party game, there should be no SBMM period.

The only conclusions that can be drawn from this are:
A. You only knew pro players and full time SWFers, putting you squarely in the only skill bracket that benefitted from ranks.
B. Ranks were an ineffective system because apparently everyone was at the top anyway.

The answer is B and that's a good thing

Please no. SBMM may be flawed but the old ranked system was terrible.
Unless you were a god-tier player, or always playing SWF or Nurse/Blight, you would be perpetually stuck in green/purple ranks. Because pips were too easy to gain a lower ranks, and then you hit the wall.
This meant you were almost always matched with red rank players, because matchmaking would pull players from 6 ranks above/below you, and rank 1s could only be matched downwards. Never able to gain enough pips to climb higher, never able to lose enough to get fairer games, unless you intentionally smurfed by losing 50 games in a row, or by taking a 4 month break from the game.
The old ranked system was great for matching rank 1 players with weaker opponents they could easily destroy. (Hence the whole 'win streak' fad) It was terrible for the average 'mid-rank' player, solo survivors, and M1 killers.
And then you had the monthly rank reset, which made the game unplayable for about 2 weeks when everyone played super sweaty to rank up again.

Everyone I know who played the game regularly made it to red ranks

More proof that killers either play this game muted or it's a skill issue. If you can't hear survivors running that short distance away or see scratch marks that are in your face, that's a skill issue.

Even if I see the guy and chase him, the downed survivor will go under a pallet and become unhookable until i have fully downed the BP user

and we're JUST talking about BP in conjunction with Flashbang, leaving out its synergies with toolboxes, breakout and odd bulbs. The perk is a SWF wet dream

I do play enough killer.
For a flash grenade to achieve a save, it must be thrown between 1 and 1.5 seconds after the killer's pickup animation begins. Background player gives a survivor 100% haste, meaning 8 m/s. 1.5 seconds max would mean a survivor can successfully save from 12 meters away at most. If a killer can't do a quick 12 meter radius check around them if they anticipate background player in play, that's on the killer, and they don't deserve the hook for not doing their due diligence.

That only applies assuming no line-of-sight on the killer. They'll pre-run somewhere you've already checked before pickup

@Valuetown said:
The whole point of flashbang is to counter the previously uncounterable "shove your face into the wall" tech. It is absolutely healthy for the game, as it requires a survivor to put 45 charges into a generator, or 45 seconds they MUST be doing gens solo (co-op progress messes with the charge per second rate).
If a killer cannot win chases and get downs within 45 seconds, especially with the plethora of perks now available to them that block gens (corrupt, grim embrace, dead man's switch, etc.), not even mentioning killer abilities and chase perks, that is a skill issue, and crying about flashbangs isn't going to get them anywhere. "Well flashbangs aren't the problem, background player is!!" Like other people have posted, if you're allowing a background player to stun you, you didn't do your due diligence as killer and check the immediate area, as there is only a 1 second window for them to get the flashbang to work. It is extremely easy to counter.
I've said multiple times that lightborn is an unhealthy perk for the game. A perk should not be allowed to fully counter an aspect of the game. Even distortion has its limits, with its charges being fairly limited and will run out if a killer runs 2 aura read perks (lethal + bbq, lethal + gearhead, etc).
And before any killer mains want to lie to me, Calm Spirit does not counter Ultimate Weapon the same way Lightborn counters flashlights. Calm spirit nerfs totem cleansing speed, and the blindness (which is very effective, despite what killers want you to believe) still applies to the survivor. Lightborn actually goes above and beyond and reveals the survivors aura to the killer for multiple seconds. They are not the same.

"didn't do your due diligence and check the immediate area"

You do not play enough killer my dude, BP users can and do come in for the save from way (way) outside a reasonable distance to be checking

Getting 3 hook 1 kill isn't any better than getting 4 escape, even 2 kill with endgame generally feels a loss for killer
So no, 6 hooks or 2 kills doesn't really matter, it's only a win when they win, and thus as long as they can win reasonably with hooks, they wouldn't care if they get less 1k 2k matches

Actually nvm, disregard me

I don't want to have this conversation about why or why not the game should be turned into a participation trophy playground. If that ever happened I would just play a better PVP game.
