Facecamping bubba with noed.

Just faced a buba who just would camp to death whoever he hooked so we genrushed him (like the devs and people said to) he got a 2k because of how long it takes to do gens with 2-3 people. Then he gets us at the end because of noed? So what the heck are we supposed to do to counter this? We genrush because thats the counter to camping but then we get punished for not doing totems. But we dont have the time to do both with him camping to death each person.

    What rank survivor are you and what rank killer is he?

    Just hope your team iQ isn't low and they rush gens. It sucks but just stay there an move onto the next game.

    Kinda hard when by the time all the gens are done his noed is active and 2 of us are dead then all he has to do is find one of us for a free 3k.

    The counters are bones doing and leaving the gate.


    You had counters, it's not that you lacked the ability to counter or punish noed or face camping. The problem was that it was a very lame killer with very lame tactics. There does need to be a better punishment for hook camping than the point deduction system. Most people agree but I don't think it's high on the dev lists of immediate concerns. Especially since if you actively push the killer away from hooks too quickly no survivor respects the killer-hell they don't now. I'd had loads of games where a survivor will see me walk like 10 feet or know i'm near. Unhook. Then get angry I didn't chase the unhooker when they vanish or run into a time delaying strong loop-


    It's like pig with the box blocking. Lame crap exists in this game, mostly because people become smart asses in pvp stuff.

    When matchmaking fixes youll go back to almost never seeing it. Hes not pipping like that. It takes a coordinated team to get 3 out, sometimes 4. But hes not "winning" by the games definition of the game.

    Read my response to him and youll see why it matters. Its not a viable strategy

    Sounds like your teammates are bad at chases. If each of you were on a gen when Bubba chased his first down, you should have had at least 2 done by the time he even got them on a hook. The third should be popping while he's camping, and 2 people are finding more and working them. If you've got a smaller map, you can be done with most of your gens by the time the first camp ends, then all you need to do is open the door and leave. Or just stand next to the gate and wait for him to smack you for a bit more bp.

    Since he camped the whole game, and if you open things quick, he loses chaser and lightbringer, his malicious and malevolent will be low to, for not hooking multiple times, and not getting the hits, so he'll derank, and if he's doing single hook kills, he'll be lucky to get out with 10k bp.

    One of you should be on a gate the moment the final gen pops. Spreading out and doing gens separately is also faster. A semi competent team will get 2 or 3 people out against a hard camper even with NoeD. A good team can get all 4 people out. While a bad team can easily lose for a ez 4k. You have perks to help against campers. Really camping is a horrid strategy, but it works because people get too altruistic and hope to save a fellow survivor or friend.

    Camping is also completely legal and the Devs have stated they are not going to do anything about it.

    Thats more an issue with bubbas design rather than the strats themselves. Bubba is literally built to be a camp killer, because camping and setting a trap for altruistic survivors.is a thing. What bubba actually needs is a rework though i have no idea how you would rework him

    make gen speeds faster when the killer is next to the hooked survivor,

    maybe compensate it by slowing it down when the killer is away from the hooked survivor

    Many red rank killers facecamp on a regular basis to blow off steam since they can get pips back easily in another match as most red rank survivors play like yellow rank survivors these days.

    Ok? And? How does that dispute what Im saying? You rarely see it in reds because its simply not viable against coordinated teams or pipping. Im not saying it never happens im saying it rarely happens.

    leatherface just need a complete rework to remove the easy facecamp strat but also to make him more viable in a non camping way.

    Hopefully the leatherface and billy update is going to happen fast because I also want to see the farm maps getting reworked

    LMAO I think i was in that match. or one similar. I've played 10 matches today 9 have been bubba. And they are ALL doing the same thing. Slugging. Camping. And STILL getting points and pipping. He'd find someone, tunnel, uber chainsaw, hook, camp. Stand there until they died, or someone made a hail Mary, then it just turned into a trade. Hooked runs like hell, Unhooker gets downed and hooked. Proceed to camp. Wash rinse repete. And its not like ANYONE is using the actual perk for camping, remember insidious? Nah, killers just stand there revving their chainsaws at us.

    IT'S SO (ALL THE DAMN BAD WORDS)-ING BORING!!!!!

    It takes 80 seconds to do a gen.

    120 seconds for someone to die on hook.

    Most likely they will have ran the killer a bit beforehand as well.

    You should have plenty of time to do 5 gens. Split up, don't all stack on the same gens. If each person is on a separate gen and the person who is being facecamped didn't get ######### downed right away, you will have way more than enough time to do all 5 gens and open the gates before the facecamped player even dies.


    In the 100 games I recorded stats, every facecamping Bubba did terribly. I had enough time to get every totem(ran small game every match) and do all 5 gens, 99 the gates and then a few times the team would go for the save and end up giving a couple kills. I died once to 9 facecamping Bubbas. 4 of them got 0 kills because we genrushed, did totems, and saved the person and escaped. 2 got 1Ks because we couldn't save that one person and 3 got 2Ks because of failed saves after all gens were done.

    72% of the survivors made it out alive against Bubbas on my stats sheet. Maybe it's because this was at red ranks so people knew to just do gens and get the ######### out (also some amazing last second saves for those 0Ks).

    Honestly there's nothing more satisfying then getting out against a facecamper and then ending up with only like 5K BP. Especially when your team manages to somehow save the person who was facecamped as well.

    And I just faced a team that I was nice to and got spit on with toxic chat afterwords, your point?

    Some matches suck, some don't. Shrug it off and move on already.

    The counter is to be a god tier swf and do the bones with no downtime between the gens and the bones. It's so easy
