Gen rush vs camping

Why do killers get all whiny about gen rushing calling it a crappy strategy and stuff yet when talking about camping they always say thats a justified strategy, im sorry but what?!?

Ive been in game after game where the killer has just face camped literally everyone and when messaging them all i get is "EZ git gud" or even on here i can ask why people camp and theyll just say its a strategy if i dont like it go do gens or some stuff like that, yet it is these exact same people that have a go at gen rushers in the whole time of playing dbd ive seen way more games where the killer starts to camp when not even 1 gen has been completed yet ive seen barely any of actual gen rushing (if i dont count gen rushing as the killer is face camping)

What this game needs to do is if they remove gen rushing they need to get rid of camping, a bad strategy for a bad strategy

    Gen rushing is mandatory. It’s the only thing survivors can do 🤨 people just want more time as killer so they can slay all four. They just want it to be ez 4K every game. In fact, playing solo I see they’re getting quite a few kills. It’s rare that I come across good loopers. It kinda sucks man. I just played a game against a bubba that outran my Lithe 150% speed boost somehow. How’s that fair? Killers are OP it’s the ones that don’t know they are that just whine and whine.

    Yea sometimes i really do think that killers dont realise they're only supposed to be balancing out at 2 kills if they dont get 4k's every match they whine so much.

    in all fairness i would love to have them feel what it feels like to be face camped for matches and matches just sat there waiting to be sent to lobby and have to wait to go into another match just to have the exact same thing happen again

    I will say this right away im survivor main but I really do understand killers who want to have a chill game but they get into first chase of 3 gens because their killer is m1 killer and then then survivors start teabaging next to an infinite thinking they are pro players, when I see stuff like this i proxy camp with stbfl and get ez hooks because they stop doing their objective genrushing... I also encounter killers who literally have map advantage 5 minute chases with 1 or 2 gens done and still behave like a complete aholes thinking they are entitled to 4k so this guys are being punished by me too.

    ooo a little bit of strong claims buuut...

    1. Killers don’t want more time to only 4k, they want more time to even be able to play. to some yeah a 4k is a “win” but others find a win as pipping, getting 4 stacks of bbq, or just having a somewhat long but fun match. with current gen speeds, “time” can be as much as five minutes.
    2. Thats because solo ≠ swf. solo is weaker then a full swf on coms so of course a killer is going to have a bit of an easier time when they go against all solo survivors.
    3. The bubba most likely had PWYF with three stacks, it’s not unfair either. the killer had to take the time to find, chase, lose, chase and lose the survivor two more times only to ignore them to get max stacks.


    ”Killers” aren’t op, certain killers with addons can be but not killers in general, it would still depend on the person’s skill though.

    I play both but im mainly 60/40 with killer being what i play most i like to think getting 4 bbq's and actually having a fun game but i find camping to still be the worst strategy in game period, and in all fairness i dont care how long the game is as i know doing gens is just straight up boring as hell thats not without saying i wont run gen slowing perks with my favourite being surge, i want this game to just add something for survivors to do like a checklist they have to complete this will give the match more insentive to last a long time but camping im just gonna say it has to go no fixing it or anything just get rid it is one of the worst and most stupidest strategy in the game

    So basically how ill fix it

    Gen rush: add a checklist you have to complete imbetween gens as more gens complete more will show (you cant exit the trial without everything being done

    Camping: total removal. (Example to how to) add a way to make it so depending on how close the killer is to hook the survivor on hook will either have the timer stop and if the killer goes as close as to face camp the hook will actually give more time to the survivor
