Just got face camped... what a strategy.
Just had a billy face camp me the whole game. He also had Noed and still didn’t go for anybody. What’s the purpose of rocking the perks he had if he’s facecamping.
bigger question is, why is this still in the game? Can we take face camping out as a whole or the killer receive a punishment for it during the match? Lets take facecamping out or not have it be a “strategy” anymore.

It's a legit strategy, sorry but that's the truth lol.

Devs have said it's a legit way to play and they already punish facecampers. If that's all you do you will depip
14 -
You have an entire team
2 health states
4 perks
And a tool to escape
Tr alerts , 3rd person view, map interactables, corners bushes lockers grass corn All to prevent yourself from being found
I mean if you go down its on you and your team don't demand extra lives.
Hookrush, deliverance bt ds sabo dh ooo mom flashlivht pallet stunning everything about this game is built to survive

I agree. Anyone who facecamps is a straight up loser. Scum of the earth.
13 -
Jeez, imagine getting that salty over a video game that you resort to calling people that.

They have also openly said this is not an ideal play style, that they're looking for ways to make it less desirable, and no...face campers are not punished. They're BP is typically fine and they clearly dont care about depipping. Why would they? They'll get matched with even easier targets.

So I guess killers don’t have 4 perks, OP add ons or offerings they can use either..... and yet still have to face camp and tunnel to get kills..
7 -
Imagine playing a game for the sole purpose of ruining someone else's experience. 🤷
10 -
Interesting, it’s almost like the killers job and add on/perks is there to stop us and balance that out.
Maybe you should read the discussion again, I was facecamped by the billy. I was first person hooked, so nobody can get me cause it’s a billy, and I could have 20 health states, but if you’re getting facecamped they don’t matter... killers also have 4 perks if you didn’t know (you must be new to the game or have never leveled up before). Killers also get alerts (if you’re facecamped tho killers won’t care). Killers also have map interactions. Also, the corn WOW how come I’ve never hidden just straight up in the corn. You my sir must be a rank 0 survivor, ahead of everybody else in the game!
Let me know when you play the game more, sounds like you haven’t played it a lot. Just watch out because Gen rush strategy is toxic and facecamp strategy is clever and unique. Also, with no punishments basically. Have fun and don’t die... unless you play killer then don’t facecamp!

lol this dude definitely facecamps 😂

pips are what determine a win or loss. If you camp you won't pip. Everyone who actually plays will outrank all the facecampers.
0 -
No, its your personal opinion that PIPs are what determine a win or a loss. And the idea that you cannot camp and pip is fallacy. I am a red rank survivor, red rank killers camp. So your logic is very easily flawed. FACE camping is the least rewarding type of camping in the game...IF the survivors don't try and be altruistic (which, btw is their main generation of BP in addition to interacting with the Killer). A killer can still easily pip if they do...or if they are just smart enough to proxy instead of face camp because they'll get numerous hooks out of making a 17m circle around a single hook. So the whole idea that it is in any way unrewarding is ridiculous. Its lazy. Its cheap. It ruins matches for everyone involved.

No... Pips are 100% what determines a win. A 4k ruthless game is great. A 4k merciless is 100% more of a win. It's what makes you rank up or down and that's how the progression system works. I honestly don't care about proxy camping there's no way to take that out of the game or punish it without punishing a killer for getting ran around near a hook. If they aren't face camping you can get an unhook easily with some teamwork. Face camping is what I think is unhealthy and face will depip you almost every time.
1 -
Show me where a developer has specifically state that if you pip, you have won the game? I will concede on this immediately. ;)
Also, while pipping is nice, it is not the currency of this game. So you could certainly argue other forms of 'winning'.
Face camping is unhealthy. And it can depip you, but its not guaranteed for the aforementioned reasons. And the fact remains that this is not a deterrent, nor to Killers themselves consider this a loss.

The only way a face camper gets even decent points if the rest of the team starts throwing themselves in to make saves and starts doing 1 for 1.
If you just hammer gens and leave the campers get like 7k plus max one BBQ for about 10k points whereas even “losing,” a normal game as killer I get 20k+ plus 4 stacks of BBQ so I get 40-60k a game

Yeah it's just a big quality of life issue for the person being face camped. Often times it's frustrating and unfun for that person. I think the issue is that it should always be an option but the price isn't quite there. It's behavior that truly should be discouraged and very punishing and the existing experience isn't punishing enough. And just to clarify, punishment doesn't mean ban or suspended. I just think that the in-game experience makes it rewarding in many cases.

Getting facecamped sucks but it wouldn't be an issue if survivors dealt with it properly.
4 -
This guy......
3 -
Ah yes, a person who has not a single inkling of who I am 100% knows my behaviour ingame.
I don't. I have 2000 hours, which is enough to know that Face Camping boring as all hell.
My point still stands though, if you call someone "scum of the earth" after they kill you in a video game. God there's something wrong with you.
Considering you have made no defence apart from a snide, false remark, I'm going to assume that you know that already though.
4 -
What does that have to do with calling people names?
If you're going to try and respond with a similar remark, at least stick to the topic.
3 -
Well dang, why didn’t I think of this. I’ll just handle being facecamped by a billy properly next time. Thanks for the words of Wisdom, you must be in gold ranks with that comment...
So that was sarcasm (you probably couldn’t tell cause that paragraph was also full of stupidity, so you probably can’t tell the difference when something horrible is suggested vs something actually good).
1 -
He said "Survivors", not "survivor". This is a team based game you know.
He's referring to survivors actually playing smart (shock horror) and doing gens instead of just running at the killer who's facecamping and wasting time.
As he said, getting facecamped sucks, but if survivors did gens 100% instead of rushing at the killer like their heads have fallen off, FaceCamping wouldn't be an issue.
Because every rank 20 killer who does it would just realise its a horrid strategy and give up. They don't think that because survivors still feed them kills when they do it.
3 -
SurvivorS, as in plural. As in if your teammates or the survivors that played before against that Billy didn't reward him doing so then he wouldn't do it or you would eventually outrank him
And don't worry, I've seen enough salty crybaby's on the forum, I can recognise sarcasme no problem
4 -
Yeah, same tbh. Especially when they can only respond with insults like these guys.
4 -
oh boo hoo, you just got a match that had a face camper and the first thing you decided to do was to go in the forums and complain
5 -
Off topic, but I think the OP created an alt account today (Dubvee5), just for his posts lol.
Both accounts were created today within only 20 minutes of each other, have the exact same viewpoint and have only commented on the same posts :D
Just a guess, but would be pretty hilarious if I'm actually right. Would be pretty pathetic if that was the case haha

“OnLy ReSpOnD wItH iNsUlTs LiKe ThEsE gUyS” wow man, good comment. Thanks for informing us.
0 -
Well I'm not wrong. You haven't put any defence apart from snide remarks which are only reinforcing that notion. Do you have anything else to say? Or even a hint of attempting to have a civil discussion?
Or was this thread created just so you could spill some salt?
5 -
Piping is meaningless! Why are people not vetting this their heads? Especially with MMR it becomes a random number noone cares about.
2 -
Congrats, you have figured out how to use google image search
1 -
You sat there and real life thought this was a good comment. Like “oh man, let me show people my big brain, I assure you my guess is correct” like homie you are dead wrong lol but you tried and that’s all that matters haha

What progress? Progress to rank 1 for what? Are you new to dbd? Imagine someone takes ranking thaz serious when there is NO MEANING behind it.
2 -
I mean hey, was just putting it out there. Just had a theory and thought it would be pretty funny if that were the case. Either way, you have to admit its pretty coincidental haha.
Either way, nobody has a way of proving anything, so even if it is an alt account you're safe, no need to worry.
0 -
What defense have you put up though? All you’ve done is agreed with somebody and say “these guys are doing insults” lmaooo
0 -
Well, the others don't have much fun either since they hold M1 the entire time till they are the next one being facecamped
2 -
Well they came here for validation and support. And all they got was "deal with it" so i guess it's understandable they're a little cranky. ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯
1 -
I think you misunderstand the situation. You're the one being accused of having nothing constructive to say. All you've done is spew out ranting and insults to anyone who disagrees. You're the one who has said nothing to disprove that.
The only thing that anyone is accused me of is your potential alt account, who accused me of being a facecamper. I said that clearly wasn't the case as I have a significant degree of experience on both sides.
If you apparently want ME to defend myself, I'm happy to link my profile where you can see my hours/achievments.
Otherwise, I think we've all come to one main conclusion.
This post is nothing but a salty rant, and you have nothing reasonable to say apart from snide remarks and insults.
We all know facecamping is a trashy strategy, and there's no need for any more of your whining to reinforce that.
3 -
Gotta agree. Facecamping is trashy and unfun, but since its not going away punishment for it should definitely be reinforced.
3 -
It's still the progression system of the game. Merciless and Ruthless means you won and brutal means it was a tie.
1 -
Yeah, very true. But hey, if they go throughout the rest of life with this attitude to "deal with it" they're going to have a pretty difficult time haha.
3 -
I mean, technically, yeah. But thats not always the case.
Like, if you get all four kills really quickly and get entity displeased, I don't really think that can be considered a loss for the killer.
0 -
True but that beats dying on your first hook while mashing a button to fight The Entity and getting 2,000 points and losing a Pip.
0 -
Hmm sounds like something a facecamper would say
0 -
I mean, if you want evidence to disprove your outlandish claim, I'd be happy to link you to my profile.
0 -
I don't take the ranks as measurements, they are meaningless and not even good.
1 -
If thats the case then taunting the killer is a strategy.
1 -
I don't think those two examples really compare lol
Facecamping benefits the killer
taunting the killer doesn't really benefit the survivor
2 -
Taunting gets to the killer. This really benefits you as a good survivor. Taunt the killer enough and they'll chase you for the entire game. Your teammates will have enough time to get gens done and you escape.
