Auto Killer Instinct on Xenomorph is Too Strong?

[PARKER!!!]

There are several killers that have a teleport ability to aid them in hunting survivors, but only the Xenomorph initiates Killer Instinct upon exiting the teleport. This is way too strong. There's no perk that blocks Killer Instinct so there's no way to hide from the Xeno at all. The tunnel locations are located near every generator so any perk that keys off of generator progress will direct the Xeno directly to a survivor that will not be able to hide. The Xeno doesn't even have to waste a perk slot to gain the Killer Instinct.

You're not supposed to hide.

I keep saying that the tunneling is the strongest part of Xeno's kit and there is no counter play to it. It does so much and Survivors can't do anything to play around it. If you put a turret next to the tunnel entrance all it does is let the Xeno know you're there from across the map with a grey add-on. Been using that one a lot.

Really he has 3 forms of detection from the tunnel: grey turret add-on, footsteps, Killer Instinct on exit. It's insane.

@Terratrox At the root of it, DbD is a survival game so yes killer avoidance is part of that.

Yes meta is that hiding is bad and wastes everyone's time. That said game commercials and tutorials say it is a game of hide and seek.

You can hear gen repairs in tunnels too.

Dredge has killer instinct upon both exiting a locker and returning to remnant. They've been in the game for over a year and its been fine on them.

@ArcadeMaster No, out of the box Dredge does not trigger Killer instinct upon exiting a locker. It requires the use of the perk Darkness Revealed and it's not Killer Instinct it's the reveal of auras which can be blocked by Distortion. Xeno has Killer Instinct which cannot be blocked out of the box.

But he literally does get killer instinct upon exiting the locker.

You know it's funny I mean, with the way you put it , it as if the xenomorph really can easily scores kills in game but the truth that in game that isn't so at time I come up empty handed with zero kills in either hooks or mori, so the question is that,

how come if it is that powerful and no counter , how come the people that I encounter just seem to be able to deal with it and win the match flawlessly ? as in four survivors escaped sure they can have a few hooks here and there but zero kills.

It is not a teleportaion. Turrets can detect him, even if xeno in tunnels. If a turrets beeps but no one in sight? Get away from tunnel.
