First hook camping fix is in the game, should it be added (first hook random, like pyramid head)?

Pyramid head (The Executioner) 's random cage ability resolves first hook campers, thereby ensuring everyone who waited in 10 minute long queues get a chance to play.

    Not unless gen progress randomly jumps to another gen if you're on it for more than 5 seconds (obviously bad idea). Yeah camping sucks. But its part of the game and just a tactic to get the objective done by trying to make survivors come to you.

    First hook camping is already 100% loss of game. Camping in general only works if survivors are stupid.

    The fix to all camping: don't be stupid, if it works you deserve it.

    The moment you start camping first hook, gens will start flying fast. Competent survivors will not go for an unsafe save and will just sit on gens until the game is over. At most you'll secure a 1K assuming nobody brought borrowed time or DS.

    The unfairness is to the person hanging on the hook. While most will say "Thank you for your sacrifice.", it doesn't address they are not able to play the video "game" because of this tactic. In the reverse, if they kill themselves on hook, most will call them a bad teammate and say as much in after game messages. This needs to be addressed the same way nerfing or buffing perks are; something is broken that needs to be fixed. Again, only talking about first hook camps.
