Camping for the 1K-2K
So, this is pretty common. A killer camps a survivor so he can guarantee at least 1 kill. I thought this was not wrong and I got camped like this quite a lot. I still thought this was OK since the killer doesn't want to depip, which makes sense. Then I watched an Otzdarva video in which he played Wraith. All the gens were done and he had 1 person on hook. Instead of camping, he continued playing normally and because of that, he got a 4K. This really changed my mind. I don't think camping for 1k isn't wrong but if you do it, you might just waste a 4K.

Not every killer is otz, but yeah it can be smart to keep playing. Can be smart to camp too.

You MIGHT waste it, or you might lose it. It's kinda a gamble, you camp for that one to black or you take the chance in losing a pip for going for a 4.
I personally know my skill as killer can sit in reds, and the only way I'm gonna get better is by analyzing and studying new ways to play, and perk building. For each killer (felt really proud when my death slinger build was the same one that Ttu3 used) but I've began just taking a loss, if all 4 get out. I played bad, or there was just someone on that team who outplayed me. (Or sometimes I get that sweaty 4 man swf, that has OOO, or runs the meta Unbreakabill, DS, Borrowed, and Adren. And finishes all their gens in like 6 to 7 minutes)
But I would much rather, keep fighting to the end and take an L than camp to keep my rank, if I lost my 4 pips at rank 2, I dont deserve to be rank 2. Not gonna keep that rank 2 by sitting there and keeping a guy on a hook to make sure I at least black pip.

oh yeah the "streamer did so argument".
anyways, little luck here and there. He played a 3 men endgame, which is easier than a 4 men, he got both exits in the same area, where nobody was, risked Adam ds near the end, nobody in the team ran meta builds, he was lucky chasing the weak links of the team, since last Feng destroyed him.

I was against an Oni last night who had just an extremely frustrating game. I don't know if the others were SWF or not, but I at least was solo so it wasn't a 4 stack...but gens just flew, he had a couple of bad chases, and he got his fourth down right as the last gen popped. He downed the guy right near the basement, so stuck him there, and after that Kindred always showed his aura. He had his power from the last chase, so we knew damn well he was more than capable of downing anyone who went over there. We waited to see if he'd move, but he didn't, so he ended with a 1k.
Honestly, I understood it. It was a frustrating game for him and he wanted something. I felt bad for Dwight dying on his first hook, but I also understood it. If you have a bad game you just want something. Had he gone charging across the map to the gates, he'd potentially have wound up with nothing, and that'd just feel worse. Guy was a red rank killer so he wasn't terrible, just bad map and really solid team. I completely get camping in that scenario.

If you play a bad match, why result in punishing someone else because of your poor gameplay. Camping because it tge only option you have? Then maybe work on different strategies. You can't win them all. Acting that desperate to me is just pathetic. There is no reward in the ranking system so who gives a crap tbh. The community just kills me with justifying poor gameplay. Who wants a boring match. I play for the jumpscares and adrenalin. But you can't get that much because of sad desperate killers...smh

Why does it work, though?

My phone is sucking right now. So I can't pull your name up but WHY DOES IT WORK THEN? Are you not getting what I'm spitting? It's a lame gameplay. Works because some survivors want to save the survivor struggling from a killer who gave up because they did poorly. Because that lame and tbh if you camp and tunnel cause you do bad and then say well it works... Makes me lmfao! Its a game. Next match new strategy. It kills the game to have so many bad players make it a babysitting game rather than a suspenseful game. Like it is supposed to be. I mean give me a break. If you result in this strat. You ruin the game for others to benefit yourself. Thats pretty pathetic... Who goes to a movie to watch Michael or Jason stay with one survivor in the same place the whole movie? Real blockbuster there!!! Lol

So it works because survivors refuse to counter it. Thanks for admitting that. And you're right, it's just a game, so why you have to be mad?

There's nothing wrong with it, but like Otz -- I find it boring. And yeah, you can definitely get some extra kills. Had a game a while back against this nasty SWF team. Almost got a 4K at the end because they were overly altruistic and I had three of them slugged. If I hadn't made a bad decision to hook one of them and just went for the last guy then it's game over. My mistake.
I don't fault killers who do it. (Doesn't mean I won't try to tempt them away to save a teammate, of course) I used to do it. But I find it kind of boring to stand in front of the hook and guard it as if getting 1K makes the game go any better.

Lol mad? More like disappointed. I admit nothing so don't give yourself credit for no arguement. xD If that's what makes you feel like you are good by turning a suspenseful game into a lame one just to secure a kill or rank then maybe you should try something a little more basic.
When I'm in a match where a killer results to this its a immediate let down. I would rather dc than waste my time. A killer who is faster who chases people who cannot fight back stands there. Hahaha please
You must be so proud xD

I'm a rank 4 survivor main, buddy. I just think it's hilarious when survivors feed campers and then complain about camping. Well, as long as it's not in my trials. Then it's just annoying.

this game was like the horror movies survivors would be having harder time an d killer would be alot more powerful but this DBD survivors are the power role which they shouldn't be but they are.

I'm not you buddy...and I actually think its dumb too. Feeding a no skill camper points not deserved. I agree. No one is complaining my guy. I'm a rank 1 survivor. Just making a statement that if you babysit because you go in with a poor strat. Its just lame. How hard is it to get that? I have seen swf's getting owned plenty of times by a killer with a dayum good strategy. But it won't change which is obvious. It just is. For the sake of argument...just try to work different strategies. You might surprise yourself.

That's entirely untrue. A bit confusing with your wording though. If that's what you believe then you have not been playing the game right...

Really depends on the team.

He's not your guy, Friend. Sorry, was just scrolling the thread and was NOT gonna let that opportunity pass me! LMFAO

Haha 😄 Glad you kept it going and that you caught that! That's why I quoted the way I did! Good times! xD

I already got a 2-3k camping, so it's going to change in case to case

It's supremely lame when killers camp the hook to guarantee one sacrifice. Basically solidifying their status as a failure and desperation that they 'have to get someone!'
It's especially eye-ball rolling when you've pretty much carried the match with repairs and rescues, and get caught with your first hook, and the killer gets comfy and sets up camp. Then here comes the cherry on the cake: the other remaining survivors don't even entertain the idea of going for a save: nope, they're running through the exit gates or waiting there to teabag the killer.
All good fun.

Yeah, I hate it when killers do crazy things. Securing kills, for example. It's insane!
Survivors deserve to survive, it's right there in their name!

In all seriousness, though, this sounds like another one of those situations where survivors just expect the killer to surrender.
Here's a situation that comes up occasionally:
Exit gates are open. Killer hooks someone. BBQ (or whatever aura reading) shows that the 1-3 remaining survivors are at the exit gate.
What's the play here? Be honest, what is the best - or only - play for the killer in this situation?
2 -
The main hemorrhoid in this situation is the other survivors' reluctance to attempt any sort of rescue. Granted, sometimes the killer has NOED, or the remaining survivor/s are on their death hook etc. They may suspect the killer has Blood Warden or they could be doing an escape challenge, who knows. But I remain with the belief that getting hooked (usually 1st hook) after all the gens are done, with the killer hovering around the hook like a fly around a lamp while my fellow teammates engage in a yoga seminar at the exit games, is supremely lame.
But saying that, if I'm killer and I know the survivors are close by (with the would be rescuer ITCHING to use their Borrowed Time, take a hit and Dead Hard out the gates), I will stick around in the hope of picking up another or "guarding my hunt".
But either way you look at it: it's lame for the hooked survivor.

Camping happens when survivors allow it. It is literally 100% in the control of the survivors. Otz plays in higher ranks, where sweaty swf confidently believe they're going to all escape together and teabag the killer.
The harder the survivors try to root out the camp, the easier it is for the killer to roast hotdogs and smores on a hook

are you kidding? i mean what part untrue?survivor easy or killer being hard or both and if it both your nuts.

But if the streamer can do it, anyone can do it. /s

All of it actually! The survivors are not power roles and stronger. Check your stats. If it were like the movies, neither role would have the advantages they both have... Facts

Camping happens because survivors allow it...? tbh depends on when in the game. End game I see no problem. Other than that it's a cheap strat. Ruining the game for all players in match? Sure do gens. But what about all the other points in game? Chase? Misses? Altruism? Pallet stuns? Etc and more etc...
Survivors will try because they don't want to de pip do to a potato killer. Its just trash! Its not that hard to understand.

do you play killer? with all the 2nd change perk having them stack from 4 survivors which puts killer at a disadvantage make the killer role hard and stressful tp play .so where the fact? what horror movies are you watching where survivor have that much of a advantage over the killer.
most movie i watched 1 or 2 survivors live

The only time I camp is when I don't have end game perks, and both gates are 99%, but I don't face camp.

If you are trying to secure the kill instead of chasing others you are limiting yourself to one kill. As mentioned, you can turnn a 1k into a 3k-4k by not camping that one dude. Depends on variables but it is possible.
If you are having trouble and find yourself in this position, run blood warden, its magic when it works.

Should be a reputation system in this game. Where players can rate each other and those with bad ratings would be matched with Similar people.
This would probably make Killers and survivors think twice before playing scummy.
