-"I'm genuinely curious if it is such a needed game strategy. Do you always tunnel, or is there something a survivor does to influence it? If you do not tunnel, why don't you?"
It's very simple : as the skill level/efficiency of the survivors you play against increases the need for the killer to tunnel one player out of the game for a win also increases. Due to being massively better killers both Nurse and Blight need to tunnel less than every other killer in the game. If you are playing those killers and still tunnel one player out then you are just going for easy games.
I start every game with the intention of tunneling. I can always "go easy" if the survivors are super chill but I can't regain momentum if I play nice and the survivors are trying to finish the generators in ~4 minutes.
You didn't ask but what makes me play mean? If survivors prioritize finishing a generator over getting a hook rescue then I will usually punish the team by making that player stay on the hook for a second stage. And then when they get off the hook I will hit them immediately with the intent to tunnel them out of the game.
When survivors play efficiently the killer must do the same thing as a reaction. Once one person is dead the game dynamic massively changes; It makes slugging extremely rewarding.
What makes Blight and Nurse Different? These killers have massive speed advantages and can defend almost any generator setup on almost any map. Overall they have the shortest and most successful chases against survivors and are not very much affected by pallets compared to the majority of the killer cast.
ah okay! first off, thank you for such a good response! i guess you can say im new-ish to DBD so I haven't (obviously) taken these things into consideration. ive also been wanting to dip my toes into trying to play killer but i have absolutely no idea where to even *start* strategy wise. i did notice when i got into iri, tunneling became more common. i just couldn't not figure out the fine line between the killer being toxic, or doing it because it's strategic. when it first started happening to me, it was beyond frustrating, but the more i play the more i noticed how common it is. me being the ignorant little survivor main i am, i never thought about how annoying gen rushing could be. at the end of the day, we are both getting our objectives done. thank you for your input!

2 Gens left, I see you were the last one to get unhooked.
NOTHING PERSONAL KID.
Your are out, It is easier now with 3 survivors, I get more time in the game, because only one surv is on a gen, the other one is going for the unhook.
Do you think surv appreciate that killer played nice, no they all Tbag you acting cocky at the exit gate wasting time because they want the killer to force them out or because they think they are giving him extra bp, #########, no, just leave, I get it, you won, now let me go to the next game.
It's really not a big deal, just move on to the next game, tunnelling just works and your objective is to kill so if you are being tunnelled learn from that and try the hardest to survive, you are a survivor not a mechanic.
ah, i think you are misunderstanding my post lol. personally, i don't have a problem with it. i just want to understand what's going on in your mind whenever it happens. tunneling has considerbly helped me learn how to loop especially in rough situations. plus if i ever decide to pick up killer i am curious to go about it , and peoples opinions just interest me.

I get plenty of DCs. I find it hilarious most of the time but I can also get really annoyed if I have multiple matches in a row where survivors DC. Ideally, no survivors DC during the match, and the remaining survivors still have hope of winning against me and play their absolute best. I do want them to be demoralized though, it makes the victory that much sweeter.
i figured as much. which is unfortunate, even when i get tunneled out i still like getting my BP worth of the match. plus what's a better way to shout "im mad!" then dcing lol. thank you for your input though, i genuinely just find this stuff interesting since i don't play killer

What you described creates good pressure, as you now have two survivors not doing generators. So, what went through the killer's head is likely a cost vs benefit analyses.
Some people tunnel right away, most don't. The higher up in survivor MMR I go, the less opening of match tunneling I see, and the more it shifts toward the final gen.
ah, okay. it makes sense. i do suppose tunneling adds great pressure, especially against swfs. i guess it burned a little bit watching them give my friend hatch after all that effort to get me out the game lol. i was also wearing the princess heart cheryl cosmetic, and whenever i wear that cosmetic, i always feel like im asking for it anyways lmao

Most of the time it’s because the survivors are sweating like crazy and genrushing, but I honestly think tunneling is fun. I get to see the other survivors panic and try to stop me from tunneling their teammate out (usually to no avail), I get to take my time and toy with the remaining survivors (if there are 3 or more gens left), I like winning my matches (3K or 4K), and I find it hilarious because it’s such evil/mean spirited thing to do.
If there was a more evil strategy I could use to secure wins and maximize survivor rage, I would do it in a heartbeat. Do you expect the person who’s playing as a serial killer in a horror game to play nice? Lmao.
I'm not asking you to be nice, just wondering what makes you guys want to do it. It's interesting to me! I don't particularly mind most of the time, it helped me learn how to loop better. As a survivor main, I see what happens to killers and most of the time it's brutal, so I can't blame you, lol. Survivors don't care about using head on, flashlights , flashbangs, etc to bully you so you aren't obligated to baby us.
I am curious though, do you get a lot of ragequitters ? I've seen so many survivors DC due to being tunneling out so early. Does the DC even effect you that much?

There is no shortage of supply of posts on this topic on this forum. How about you define what you mean by tunneling too.
For me, it's nothing personal. I do try to avoid going after the same person too close after they have been unhooked by I do lose track. Other times I keep seeing the same person. I usually let them one free escape but if I see them again they are going back on hook. So like I wrote. It's nothing personal.
okay, by tunneling i mean going after someone right after they get unhooked. dropping chase with another survivor to go to the unhook, and go right after the unhooked survior. ive had a point where they downed whoever saved me, left them on the ground to go directly for me. i wonder for people like that, what's exactly going on their minds and why they decide to do plays like that. i understand instances where you don't keep track who you hook, or you run into the same survivor. i can usually tell whenever that happens and i don't get annoyed. i just wonder what is the strategy behind dropping everything your doing to tunnel out one survivor.
