SO what you're saying is you'd rather play the easiest game in the world and just be able to slug with Victor without a single m1. Ok, got it.
Also, we needed a shop update. We couldn't even view collections. I've literally discovered outfits I didn't know existed because of the new shop.

I am playing since 2,5 years now and the amount of tunneling started to increase drastically after the big killer buffs where distance and cooldown got more into killer favor. I completly disagree with the "tunneling is needed" argument. There is no need to tunnel someone at 5 gens out. Killer will always tunnel as long as it is not heavily punished. Survivors get less distane and killers get a smaller cooldown -> faster downs, more tunneling. DS got nerfed -> tunneling got more easy so more tunneling. We introduce a bad alternative to DS namelly OTR -> we just hit the surv directly after the unhook and chase for another 20 seconds because the maps become 2/3 deadzones so we can tunnel with less effort.
All big changes over the last 1,5 years worked into the tunneling favor, and yes, i include the anti facecamp mechanic too as the old campers just started proxycamping or switched to tunneling. Incentives don't work, only hard punishments do and the most fair idea would be some basekit mechanic which works until the total progress on gens is for example 1 gen finsihed and at least the total progress (not finished) of 1.5 other generators spread across the map. Again, there is no need to tunnel this early in the game as killers get the strongest mid/- endgame where resources are burned.
There's no need to tunnel at 5 gens, yes, but in situations like what I described, you feel extremely pressured. One hook state with 2 or 3 gens left sucks for almost any killer. Especially on the maps that give me flashbacks to cod ghosts while on an m1 killer.

"The purpose of the game is to have fun" is code word for "I only have fun when I teabag the killer at the exit gates"
Exactly. The problem isn't tunneling. It's genrushing. If people didn't genrush at insane levels then killers wouldn't feel the need to tunnel. For example I had an oni match yesterday where in the first minute and a half or so, I had gotten a down, but 3 gens popped. People don't get how frustrating that is. Sometimes taking someone out of the game is just good strategy.

distortion is in a balanced place right now. you start with stacks, you have to be in the killers radius to regain them which prevents ratting in a corner. killers have such an arsenal of aura perks these days, distortion is the only valid reliable perk to combat it. if a killer is reliant on aura perks to track and make a kill, that sounds like a skill issue with game sense and map awareness. playing a healthy balance of both sides will help you gain better map awareness from the surv’s perspective and you won’t be so reliant on auras. you’ll develop a good hunch.
My only real problem with distortion is when I'm playing a killer where reading close range auras can help a lot. Like if I'm playing trickster (I haven't since his update) I like to run aura reading like I'm All Ears for better tracking. He probably doesn't need it anymore due to no recoil, but still. I've seen other people do similar things, like Phead running All Ears to hit rites, and with huntress running nowhere to hide.

Well, they didn't change anything besides Trappers traps no longer glitching into the ground, so there will be a few things to work out still. Especially with newer killers that have been released while Hawkins was gone. I trust them to fix these one by one. Maybe even give the map a bit of an update because it's quite obviously a remnant of a very different DBD.
7 matches back to back on that map shouldn't happen though. The map repeat prevention is still a thing, isn't it? So that should make this impossible. Might be a bug.
Some small advice to dealing with Hawkins because it sounds like you could need it. First off, Wesker doesn't work on that map. Yet. There are quite a few issues with the doorways that need to be sorted out. With other killers, you will notice that there are many pallets but only few of them are actually strong. Only break the pallets that you absolutely can't play around and leave the rest as it is. This will often give you easy hits because survivors will run towards pallets that aren't all that strong. Additionally, you can make this map really nasty by giving up the hardest to defend gens and focusing on what you can contest. Not saying you should play for a 3 gen from start to finish but you don't need to defend every gen.
When it comes to dealing with frustration in DBD, I recommend meme builds. You know you're at a disadvantage, so you can just focus on making the build work. Maybe try a killer you've never played before or that you aren't very familiar with. Who cares, if you lose a match? It's much more important to have fun.
The toxicity in end game is a serious issue though. I don't know why but DBD has an issue with sore winners way much than sore losers. I find it helps to reflect on how I played in these situations. If they are calling you names, then report them and go on. They don't know you and they obviously want to make you miserable. There is no reason for you to give them that power.
If nothing helps, then take a break from DBD. Most of us have done it and there is no shame in it. Maybe your passion for DBD will return after a while. If not, then it can't be helped.
Anyways, best of luck.
I appreciate the advice. Sorry I kinda forgot about this post. I probably will take a break honestly, garden of joy combined with the fact that I can't even play survivor cuz no one I know plays anymore (I refuse to solo queue), as well as the sore winners, kinda makes me want to just take a step back. I'll probably just take a couple weeks and wait for the chucky hype to die down. Every single game has been him today as survivor with my bf and it burned me out especially bad. Killer queue times are crazy as well.
