Do you consider ECG hook camping to be toxic?
Gates are open and one survivor hooked, rest of team fully healed.
A lot of killers don't consider it camping and to them camping is staying on hooked survivor on their first hook until they die during early game.
thoughts?

No....Its a necessity unfortunately in your scenario. The only play at that time is to try and use their altruism against them. Hopefully turn that camp into a 2K . That's what I would do anyway.

No. What else are you supposed to do? Go watch the Survivors tbag at the gate?

What else is a killer supposed to do?

No.

What do you want me to do? Let the Survivor get to the gate and t-bag me after nicely letting them leave? God forbid I do something a Survivor doesn't like.

If you don't have a means of downing another survivor than no it is not toxic. If it was a killer with a chainsaw I would call it toxic because they have a way to down another survivor. If you were old nurse I would also call it toxic cause you could catch them before they get to the exit if you were good. Now, with the cd for blinks, I'm not so sure.

No. As much as it can suck if you're the one on the hook, there is literally no reason for the killer to leave

No, the killer is basically out of objectives to defend and means to apply pressure at that point.
I actually wish the proximity camping penalty was lessened/removed during endgame because what else is the killer suppose to defend?

No. Sux for the survivor but at the point it may be the difference between the killer getting a safety pip or not. Plus a well organized team can still get him out if it is not an insta down killer.

Only making this post because I've seen many survivors complain about it both as killer and me being a survivor on the same team as them. Just wanted to see if it is actually considered toxic/nooby by the game's community.

Nothing wrong with camping/tunnelling in endgame imo, it's not like there are gens left to worry about. Sensible survivors usually understand this, others will see no meaningful difference between that and proxy camping followed by green mori with 5 gens left.

To be fair, i dont consider camping toxic at anypoint really. Unfun? Yes. But with the amount of times survivors throw themselves at the killer to get the unhook, sometimes camping is just a great strategy

I see it too, I'm not just gonna let someone escape, that's #########.

No.

Not at all, it's just a last try for a kill, totally understandable

My favorite post-game comments are from a Survivor who died during endgame to camping saying "You shouldn't camp during the endgame because then you don't improve as a player." Yep, you're totally being sincere and not just poorly trying to cover up being salty. Somehow, they never seem to have a good answer to "What should I have done instead?"

No? I welcome the challenge 😈

Does anyone here noticed the op wrote "ECG" instead of "EGC"? :)

Able to down a survivor and guarantee is another thing. If you go chainsaw sprinting at one, and another unhooks, and you miss, camping would have been a better move.
0 -
No.
And it's also a challenge (2 x sacrifice in egc) in the new Tome part.

the gates are open, what else do you do? you secure the one kill you got .... im sure you know this why would the killer leave. nothing toxic about it. honestly lol
0 -
Just so I didn't come across as toxic, I have been leaving the hooked survivor and go chase other survivors at the exit, of course I get no one and all 4 escape (I am not very good, haha). I may need to start camping during end game, because you are right, there is nothing else to do but watch them leave.
0 -
There is no reason for the Killer to leave the hooked person, so I don't consider it toxic. I don't do it myself, but that's a personal choice. If there were some other reason for them to move away from the hook, another downed Survivor or NOED is active and they feel they can manage another down, then sure, it'd be pretty trash, but when it's EGC time Survivors need to get out the gate ASAP unless they feel they can make the rescure knowing the Killer will most likely be there too.

Not toxic. Where is the killer supposed to go and what are they supposed to do?
0 -
No
0 -
Agreed

Wait what? A Dev encouraging camping?
At that point if you did nothing all game and finally got a hook on End game like stated.
You deserve to lose if you chased someone then you'll get more kills
Plus they'll just rush hook with BT and DS so just accept the loss
It is extremely wrong to camp
0 -
Just hope as killer that you manage to place them on a hook far enough from the exit gates as that will be the only deterrence. If it is right next to gates. Forget it. It will be almost impossible to camp.
0 -
No, the only reason the other survivors are still in the game is for the unhook. Where else is the killer meant to go? There are no gens to patrol.
