Camping: The Assymetry
I understand that in general we all hate campers, some of us might even think camping is a legit strategy. However, I've come to the conclusion that while killers are heavily rewarded for camping a survivor on a hook (they'll get a kill, which is even more rewarding if there's 1-2 survivors left in the game), survivors are heavily punished by camping, let's say, in a locker.
If they hide there long enough, they'll have ravens floating on top of their head. I'm not trying to say this anti-afk system should be changed, what I am saying is, the game favours and endorses a killer who camps.
This should be changed, a suggestion is, the more a killer looks at a survivor/or has a hooked survivor within their terror radius, the longer it takes for the survivor to die. I think this is the most reasonable approach since it is the only way to force killers to leave a hooked survivor and go hunt for the other survivors, while giving survivors the chance to actually unhook someone and not stay as focused on generators (which is also a problem that would be approached by this).
Any suggestions on how to deal with campers/do you think camping should stay in the game, although I think it heavily impairs the gameplay?

Killers are already penalized for staying too close to hooked survivors. They lose points.
Camping is a mindset. A camper will camp, no matter what. All these suggestions only punishes actual non-campers who remain around the hook for other reasons.1 -

Some stick around because they suspect survivors hiding about.
Some stick around because of the last generators are close enough to not leave.
Some stick around because they're trying to also protect their hex totem.1 -

Some stick around because they're trying to also protect their hex totem.Even so, if they stick around because someone is hiding around, and the survivor doesn't actually upon it it's just game stalling.
If the generator is close enough, they still have to go between the hook and the generator, which makes it super hard for the survivors to win, so another reasonable way of increasing the time it takes for someone to die.
Also, if they're camping the hex totem, refer to post above.0 -

Whatever it takes. I'll watch paint dry if I have to.0 -

"Mood"? What? I don't understand what you mean. I'm sorry, I was adopted.
