No Anti Camp?

I mean, 5 seconds of free BT is nice, but killer can easily try to bodyblock you and wait out the timer that way, like this ain't helping against basement if the killer decides to stand in your way. Even when this works, this is more of an anti tunneling change. Why is there no Anti Camp change? This ain't stopping Basement Bubba/Hag/Trapper from camping and with generator speed increase, this has only been a buff to camping, the only way to counter facecamping killers were to just power through gens, but with a 10 seconds increase, it means it'll stake 1 and a half health state to finish a generator while the killer is just standing at the hook.

I know camping is strategic at times and a killer shouldn't be punished being around hook when others survivors are there, but I still feel like a Hook Progression decrease if the killer is within 16 meters of the hook and no survivors are within those 16 meters or something. At least something to punish those who go in with the intend to just ruin 4 peoples experience by standing in front of the hook.

    Yeah unfortunate to see no camping changes.

    The problem with this is any killer will find out the meter distance and stand at 17 meters, or n+1 meters. The solution to that is to increase the radius but then you start hitting killers who aren't even camping/survivors who are running near the hooked survivor.

    Yeah they literally buffed camping here with 90 second gens, basic attack cd reduction, and not changing Deadlock. I'm a bit perplexed. Why not base Kindred?

    Well hopefully the changes to gen speed, kicking of gens(2.5%), pallets, walls, basic attacks and bloodlust.

    Will encourage killers to stop relying on camping

    Only time will tell.

    No changes to grab game either

    Just made a thread about that particular topic because I feel like it wasn't considered

    I'm sure some killers won't feel the need to, I'm mostly talking about the killers whose gameplay is to get into a game and camp survivors aka Basement Bubba/Trapper/Hag. Also the best you get out of a free BT against a basic camping Killer is just a hook trade. Then you're just the one that's gonna end up camped instead.


    Also a 5 second BT is not gonna stop a killer from singling you out, like the devs intended. They can wait 5 seconds and afterwards you're vulnerable to tunneling again. Despite receiving a double nerf, DS is still required to be run, if you wanna stand a chance against being tunneled.

    I'm so frustrated cause I had hope for this update, the killer changes sound amazing, shorter cooldowns and longer gens by default, but survivors just get a budget BT, that's barely gonna make a difference against a killer than can count to 5 and that's it

    Yeah I get it some will still camp no matter what, but they were a bunch on here saying if killers weren't getting gen rushed they wouldn't have to camp. Even some of them said they don't like to camp their forced to. So only time will tell just have to wait and see

    I don't camp or tunnel I do like the changes.

    I feel like I can now have a relaxed game without being forced to sweat just to get a 1k or 2k.

    Exactly it take time got to let it play out and see what happens.

    I agree too if camping becomes to strong they do what needs to be done.
