Penalize Babysitting

Something that has always been prevalent, and I feel hasnt been addressed at all, are the killers that will down a single survivor, and then babysit them the entire duration that survivor is on the hook. This tends to happen the most with the instant down killers, like hillbilly and leather face. This often makes multiple survivors rage quit, and makes the game then nigh impossible to win if you're survivor. The only penalty a killer gets is a few minus points while the survivor team gets shafted with a definite loss. These killers make the game awful and not fun. My personal opinion is that there needs to be a penalty for doing this in a match, that also doesnt not allow the killer to one off on this kind of cheap, crappy strategy. What are y'alls thoughts?

    At first I was thinking that you were trying to say using Babysitter should be punished and I was about to go full gaming mode.

    While he's camping someone just do gens. They'll get 1 maybe 2 people at most if no one goes for saves. Just had an insidious leatherface (first one I've seen in a long time). He would've only gotten one kill if the first guy didn't suicide right away on hook. Still only ended up getting 2 kills. Even when the gates were powered he didn't move until the guy on hook died

    Killers like that are the reason DS and BT exist, but then those same killers want them nerfed because it means survivors have a fighting chance against them.

    They’ll always have NOED as backup too because they know the other 3 aren’t going to get all the gens and totems done in time. NOED enables them.

    Crap entitled players thinking they deserve the kills with minimal effort.

    Or.. Hear me out... Do gens.

    Hold M1. Forget about your teammates, play some M1 simulator that match.

    Survivor is the easiest role in the game. I literally just pip'd in red ranks doing nothing but performing unsafe maneuvers trying to help a friend get the WGLF archive.

    You here talking about "Crap entitled players thinking they deserve the kills win with minimal effort". That's the base description of what Survivor is.

    YOU have to punish camping Killers! Not the devs, not the game, SURVIVORS!

    Camping it already punished by the game. If the Killer is within 16m of a hooked player and no other Survivor is as well, then that Killer will lose emblem points. That alone is a good punishment as it will keep heavy camping Killers in lower ranks. But if Survivors feed a camping Killer, then YOU are rewarding his camping!


    Yes, we all know how bad it feels to be camped to death. But we all also know that camping tends to be one of the most stupid things a Killer can do against Survivors who know better. Remember. Killer gameplay is based around taking advantage of Survivor mistakes. Getting camped isn't a Survivor mistake, but not punishing camping yourself 100% is.

    Killers are killing any way they like. Deal with it.

    Killers are not entitled to 4Ks.


    Games are much more killer-sided than survivor-sided.

    If the killer wants to give up gen pressure for one kill. Punish him for it. Do gens if they dont suicide all the way till death you can probally get at least 1 gen or 2 if your lucky done. If you really want to save just run BT

    I play as both survivor and killer very often. I would like to add that I often am the lone wolf of the team that goes and punishes the camping as best as I can by doing generators. It's often the OTHER members of my team that just cant let that go, and are often downed or rage quit because of it.The moment I realize I'm being camped, I often just try to escape the hook, which means I often die right then and there. The moment i see a survivor being camped, i say screw it and go off to do gens. I just personally think there needs to be a heftier penalty levied against the killers that do it.
