dying if they camp

How do you guys feel about this? I've seen games where someone decided to let someone die on hook because it was just a camping pig crouched right next to him on the hook, plus they knew where the hatch was and it was just them and this guy hooked left. I usually kill myself if a killer camps so it doesn't screw my team over and so they can escape, if in this situation. Is this being bad mannered to where people could get banned or is it just going with how the killer is playing and a valuable strategy to do? Imo its totally ok to let a team mate die if being camped for the sake of other team mates making it out alive.

    @CoolAKn Yeah that makes sense to just waste the killers time if they camp... i didn't know that spamming the attempted meant killer is near tho, actually thought it was the opposite as in "save me" :P But yeah good to know thank you :)

    Yes. If you ######### on hook, that's about as bad as DC-ing. 
    Except when you got those overeager hookrushing squad of farmers. Than... do as you wish :)

    Not really. If the killer camps and I struggle so my team can complete the gens, than that's ok. But if I struggle while the team sits afk nearby, hoping for a miracle, then dying is the only logic thing.

    Killing yourself on hook actually screws over your team, just fyi.

    And no, you will never get banned for camping / Not saving lol

    If its down to the last 2, and the hatch is in play, either the killer slugs, or camps. There isnt much else they can do, I highly doubt you were doing gens.

    I hope that all survivors know that I'm just going to hang around to waste the killer's time. If you get hooked and the killer is camping just stay there, and struggle until the end to waste the killer's time and your partners can hopefully do 2-3 gens.

    Oh, I always do that because it's boring just staying still.

    Depends on what my teammates are doing. If they are doing the right things and doing gens, then I'll do my best to struggle so they have as much time to get things done as possible.

    If it appears they are going to hook farm, I'll give up rather than reward both the hook farmer and the camper.
