Campers
Im sure baby killers and campers/ tunnelers wont like this idea but i think if a killer is within about 40 meters the entity bar should not go down when a survivor is hooked. What do yall think? Ive depipped so much cause of being camped its ridiculous.

Horrible just horrible idea, 40 meters is for starters is a huge area of not being able to be sacrificed so having a killer have to manage to not be within 40 meters would be terrible on some maps, for example The Game, survivors would be able to stay on hook for so long, also camping is a viable tactic, hmm I wonder what a stealth killer can use their stealth ability for? Maybe ambushing survivors at the hook after a save? Camping is normally a killers last resort when all gens are done, not uncommon for a killer to camp at endgame, I mean they aren’t gonna just walk away to a corner of the map and let the unhook happen.

40 Meters is pretty ridiculous, I don't enjoy camping either, but with perks like BT, DS, Breakdown, Saboteur, you have a lot of resources available to you as survivor. Although yes, it won't work every time, I think that its worth sacrificing a few bad experiences to allow for more fair gameplay for good killers.

Camping is allowed in the game.
If killers camp the hook then the team should all be doing gennys up and not even attempting to unhook the survivor.

I
I get camped when only 1 or 2 gens are done. Ok then when killers are in purple or red ranks then i think the 40 meters idea should work at those ranks.

40 meters is massive and if you dont like camping then run kindred and help your team by staying on the hook.

40 meters isnt massive and so i should just keep getting depipped and camped cause the killers are trash. Kindred doesnt help with camping. I rather just DC and get a ban than deal with that crap. Campers make the game less enjoyable.

Camping is unfun and low skill as far as tactics are concerned. However it is sad how often it is rewarded by survivors abandoning objectives to stand by the hook and watch a guy get camped. There is also multiple perks to counter camping, BT, DS to name a few.
Also if this was in place, it would be abused by SWFs. Just stay within 40 meters, let the killer see you and the timer will pause and the other two guys pound gennys. GG after that.
Also is 40 meters even camping. In most cases that wouldn't even trigger BT.

40 meters are like half of some the maps. 40 metres in radius means 80 metres in diameter.
On some maps that would mean you cant hang survivors on a hook in the middle of the map, cause they wont ever die...

Wow.
Stop trying to use your sad anecdotal experience and annoyances on the games balance.
Horrible idea to start with.
And 40 meters? Laughable.

You're right. I didnt think about how small the maps are so i guess maybe 15 meters then. I can agree with you on 40 meters being way too big

You gotta be 1 of the baby killers who camp or just started playing this game a few months ago considering how harshly you're attking my post. Its not a horrible idea just tired of campers considering im a rank 3 and still have campers down here. Ease up and chill.

Yeah you go out of your way assuming all kinds of things about me, I don't give a #########.
I've been playing this game this end of 2016. I'm just tired of people crying for nerfs and ways to make the game harder ( for both sides, mind you ), for everyone just because they can't deal with one type of playstyle/behaviour.
I'm chill. I just want you and your ideas to ######### off. 😉

I recommend you play killer and see why this idea won’t be very good for the game.
Sometimes it’s just NECESSARY to camp hooks. It doesn’t mean they suck at the game or want to be toxic it’s just forced upon them by survivors pumping out gens or camping hooks waiting for saves. Especially during the endgame where leaving the hook means giving them a free win.
It sucks to be camped but I wouldn’t want the killer to just give me a free win either.

entity bar?

Lmao i worded that wrong

Ok baby killer i wont [BAD WORD] be more specific so i know which word you're referring to

16 meters which is the point you start getting losing emblem points and I'd be 100% fine with it...but I wouldn't stop the sacrifice timer I'd start wiping away BP until we get to zero so if you want to camp and end up with BP like the game never happened....go ahead.

If there was 1 or 2 gens left and the game is barely 5 mins in then i would understand but to be camped when 1 gen is only done is crazy to be camped on. I used to play killer but stopped cause there was no challenge even going against SWF. Getting a 4k against SWF was worth it but that was before survivor perks kept getting nerfed while killer perks were getting buffed. I used to be a killer main but switched for more of a challenge

Survivors have imo enough second chance perks to counter camping. I mean look at BT, DS, MoM(?), Sprint Burst, DH, Unbreakable, Flashlights and more. DS and Unbreakable can literally be used as safe escape. Also camping equals usually a free escape for your team.
Could go abit further into it but i think you'll get the point.

Yeah, keep at it. Repeating the same non-applicaple insult hurts me so bad.
I just have no respect or politeness to waste on the likes of you. Get out of your bubble and realise that just because YOU can't cope with #########, the world don't have to change.
Your idea would make killers dealing with a whole team camping a hook even before he hooks his victim on it completely helpless.

Dumb idea. If you don't want to be camped by a bad killer, don't be a bad survivor by getting hooked.
0 -
I think a better radius would be like 15 meters. My idea would be if the killer is within 15 meters the Entity hits the killer and stuns them for five seconds allowing for a survivor to make a last ditch save attempt. Also if the killer just stands there whacking the hooked durvivor while they are on hook the Entity should stun them. It does seem really mean spirited to have a Killer who camps and keeps slashing you.

Each hook phase takes 60s, making it a total of 2 minutes, 120s.
One gen solo takes 80s to be done?
Under 2 minutes, survivors can complete 3 gens and gang up on another.
4 gens done by the time 1 person is dead.
=) you're welcome, free knowledge, now go out there and counter these campers!

I like the idea.
Now, for the sake of things being even for both sides how about this..
Generator progress stops when a generator is being repaired within 40 meters of the killer.
