Is Facecamping reportable?
No its not. The end.

Holding the game hostage is causing the game to never end, such as blocking a survivor into a corner until they DC, so no, facecamping isn't reportable.

Facecamping isn't reportable and is a perfectly valid, if often unfun strategy. The developers have commented as such numerous times.
Taking the game hostage means playing in such a way that the game will go on indefinitely because someone is refusing to do their objectives. This is almost exclusively a survivor thing since they can refuse to do gens and locker-hop around the map for literally hours if they want, hoping the killer will quit before they find them. Such games are extremely rare, but they do happen. If you're being facecamped, you'll die in a couple minutes or get rescued. Facecamping does not guarantee they'll kill you, save for maybe Bubba who can do both AOE 1-shot downs on top of multi-hits at high speed to eat through borrowed time, but even then you could pair it up with a sabo or a blind or something, there's options even if they're not ideal.
Getting facecamped sucks, but it's definitely not taking the game hostage.

Nah. If you're being used as bait just let go on hook. If the survivors are doing gens though stay alive to give them a better chance.
Can't win'em all, but you can make sure they don't win their game either.

No it's not.
Nor should it be. There's times where its strategic.
I do feel bad because I facecamped this player a couple games ago, thinking they had OoO. Turns out, I forgot I had bitter murmur and didn't realize gens popped every time I saw their Aura. They took it very nicely, though.

If only they didn't suicide on hook. They just don't seem to get how crucial they are once they are being camped.

Facecamping is not reportable and in turn is not bannable. Its not being seen as keeping the game hostage either, since the person is not being held there indefinitely and will die on hook eventually.
I would agree getting facecamped is sucky, but is not against any game rules.

It isn´t.

I will correct you. Camping doesn't ruin the game for all survivors, only the survivor being camped

Validating a way of playing that is toxic for one player, sometimes more as it is possible that a killer will camp/tunnel 2 survivors in a game.
And then the devs ask to be benevolent and to have a positive attitude. I might be too dumb to understand where is the logic in all this.
Gaming is the fact to play games, in "play games" there is play and games, it has to be funny, not toxic.
Also, the developpers are calling this behavior "strategy" while it is a cheap mechanics, even broken mechanic cause you can easily get kills with it, especially aginst soloQ players. All the survivors are asking the devs to remove this camping/tunneling possiblities from the game, for ages now.
Killers have asked for less pallets/windows/safe loops/items nerf/smaller maps/to remove infinite etc... And devs gave them everything to the point survivors had nothnig but continuous nerf at every new patch... Do you call it fair ? Where is it fair ?

The DEV make changes to the game based on actual game statistics, not hurt feelings. In other words, Face Camping isn't a REAL problem. Most Killers grow out of it as it is rarely a productive tactic. Statistically it doesn't affect the actual ratio of games. Game Balance is about game balance, not who is the most annoyed.

When you are playing red rank in Europe and you get a tunneler/camper killer 9 games out of 10, it is affecting the game. I don't think they have statistics about it...
And i'm not the only one getting tunneled, almost every game there is a survivor that is tunneled and camped.

I concede I know nothing about how things are handled in Europe. I had thought (and hoped) that we all were on the same page for everything. But given that different populations are going to have their own trends and play styles, I suppose that was an unrealistic thought. Either way, those behaviors are tools in the Killer's tool box. They will always be around. We (when playing Survivor) either find a way to play around them, accept the outcome if we can't, or find another game if we aren't having fun.
I've been face camped, camped, tunneled, slugged, and suffered the Mori my fair share. I just do my best to adapt to it. I think acceptance of the fact they aren't going away is less stressful. Since I play both Killer and Survivor pretty equally, I have a wide perspective on it, and understand the problems BOTH endure.
