When I'm going for the unhooker and you bodyblock forcing me to hit you - its not tunneling. You've literally forced me to hit you.
If I do as you say and "stop chasing" you after you FORCED me to hit you - I'm throwing.
Forcing me to hit you when I'm going out of my way not to? Now youre throwing.
Some of these people I swear...

Yeah I will redown people who force bt hits just out of spite. Want my attention? Here you have it, hope you enjoy your next minute on the ground.
If someone tries to bodyblock me just because they have Endurance due to BT, I don't care about the unhooker, I will put you back on that hook.
100% this. I try my hardest to play fair but if you block the only way to go after the unhooker - you best believe youre going back on that hook ^^
100%
I like to think I am as fair as killers get. I try so hard to go after the unhooker but if the survivor gets in my way just to activate bt then sorry mate, you are the next to be downed.
Its not out of malice it is just the only logical choice. The unhooker is long gone (and healthy) so the one unhooked is the best target :<
Why go back to the hook? There's 2 other survivors in the game...
It is assisted tunneling. Rofl. We take those.
as soon as i see someone bodyblocking with BT I just stop and stare at them,, menacingly,, for 12 seconds
Not always... >.<
And oftentimes survivors will actually bring you to the hook while you chase them...
Because there's 2 survivors guaranteed to be at the hook, so why keep searching when you know where half your opponents are going to be?
So you admit you're not actually skilled enough to win the game without proxy camping. Good to know.
Bud, I'm a survivor main.
So then you understand the whole point of Borrowed Time is to allow the unhooker time to unhook and get away then?
No, the point of BT is to protect someone from getting camped/tunneled. If the person with BT bodyblocks, they have to be prepared to become the target, especially if the unhooker was healthy. I'd advise running DS if that's your game plan. And it is a solid strategy... But you're not getting tunneled, you invited the killer to target you.
Personally I just tank a hit for the unhooked survivor instead of using BT. Less effective, sure, but it free's up a perk slot and I'm fine being a martyr.
Because they lead/kept me right back to the hook?
I mean survivors do tend to lure the killer back to the hook or loop around the hook a lot even at red ranks.
There's a lot of normal reasons for why killers are around the hook and its usually the survivor team's fault for causing them.
I think I would have better luck tracking an animal in the wild than an urban evasion ninja, actually. Not all killer mains were blessed with amazing hunting and gathering skills... It hurts to admit the truth. I cri!
No, the point of BT is to shield the unhooked when the killer is proxy camping the hook. Why would the person with said shield NOT take a protection hit for the person who unhooked them.
It's literally to save both because the killer isn't good enough to leave the hook.
I keep hearing this from killer mains, yet I sit and watch the killer come back to the hook constantly, even when no one is around or leading them back.
I think 6 total people have used UE in the history of DBD.
Patrolling near the hook while patrolling generators to find a survivor is fairly normal.
Your not chasing anyone and are looking at spots where they'd go aka generators/hooked survivors.
Like its not even a skill thing at that point, its smarter to go back to where 2 people are, 1/2 of the survivor team and most likely healing, and put pressure on the survivor closer to death. Whatever gets the killer kills is what's important.
The point I'm making is there are a bunch of killer mains complaining about someone taking a protection hit with Borrowed Time, when the point of ithe perk is to combat proxy camping. Which is why you are even having to hit the person with the status affect in the first place...
Nah, tons of people just rush the hook and body block with borrowed. Usually SWF, admittedly, but you aren't proxy camping just because you hit BT. I will give you that the majority of the time, you are correct. But man, you should see how some of these groups play. Lol.
I'm honestly at the point where if a survivor that has endurance because of a PNG their teammate equipped disrupts my actions in any way for a millisecond, they're getting tunneled.
If I'm trying to lethal rush the unhoooker and you get in my way because you have BT, make me not get a healthstate, waste rush tokens and go through a cooldown, I'll come right after you and I guarantee that in less than 15 seconds even through DS, you're going back on that hook.
This is one of the few things in this game that makes me irrationally annoyed. I understand BT is a necessary evil, serving as a bit of a deterrent so killers think twice about going for a person off a hook. But if you try to use that ######### aggressively, you better have the skill to actually make use of that second chance.
You can take a protection hit with borrowed, nobody has a problem with that. What you can't do is take a hit with borrowed and still claim you're being tunneled if the killer commits to you after....
Tons is an overstatement. But I definitely have seen it happen from a 2 or 3 man SWF.
I only solo queue, and 95% of the time, it's a killer coming back to the hook because they aren't good enough to create pressure otherwise.
Why can't you? The killer came back to the hook and gave you no choice. Either you let them down the person who just unhooked you, or you take a hit to protect them and try to get away.
At the end of the day, the hooked and unhooker didn't cause the situation. The killer returning to the hook did.
If I walk away and can't find anyone I'm going back towards the hook because that's where they're also headed. If BBQ doesn't show anyone then it's safe to assume that they're near the hook so I know to search the area near it and there's no reason to leave. If I'm in a chase and the survivor leads me back to the hook I'll be there and am not camping. If I hook and am breaking pallets and kicking gens near the hook I'll be close to it and not camping , just doing things that make chases later for me easier/slowing down survivor objective, not my fault the team decided to swarm the hook while I was still in the area. Want me to give more examples of reasons the killer would be near the hook?
The point of BT is in its name, to give Borrowed Time, it's a bandaid that isn't necessarily going to save you. BT is best used as insurance for those that choose to tunnel or for end game saves when the killer will be more desperate for that last kill. If you are using BT to take a protection hit then you are in fact placing yourself in a position to be tunneled and have no excuse to complain about it because you willingly got back into chase despite the killer trying to ignore you for your rescuer.
IMO, the point of this thread is that if you force a PROTECTION hit from BT you are not being tunneled, you are willingly placing yourself back into chase and the consequences that come with that.
The point of BT is for the person who was unhooked to get away more easily, not for both the unhooker and the unhooked to be protected.
I mean, you ended up on the hook, so how bad can they really be?
Don't rush back to the hook. I mean as blight this should be the opposite of your strategy. You literally have some of the best mobility in the game. Why wouldn't you pressure gens and chase survivors away? Why would you waste gen time chasing the same tw people over and over?
It happens to me frequently enough that I wouldn't call it uncommon. I do not know the exact word that wouldn't be an overstatement. But I see it quite often. Maybe one out of five games, or so?
