Camping

I am suggesting an idea, there is supposed to be a penalty if the killer is under 16 meters unless the survivor is close a hook. Survivors have to be close to a hook to get other survivors down and killers take advantage of that, so they can still camp. Killers have become so try hard because they want blood points or they just wanna make someone mad. I think If they're going to camp the penalty should be loss of blood points. Noone wants to lose blood points we need it to upgrade our characters. Also, I know there is an obsession perk but, alot of these killers will obsess over a survivor that is not in their focus, its gets so bad they will not let us off the hook. We are all here to get points. As a survivor I don't mind dying I just want to enough points to progress.

    Greatest penalty to a camping killer is to do the generators and let his ######### ass stay near rank 15. I came back to this game and was going up the ranks and got hit with a rank reset and jesus christ.. either survivors d/c or I get caught in a trappers trap and end up in the basement where I hear the heartbeat for 90 seconds. This is real ELO hell. Just do the gens and let the mentally ######### camper stay at rank 15.

    Want camping gone? 
    Ask the devs to turn Devour Hope into a normal perk. 
    You're welcome.

    Funny story, lately I play some Wraith and it happens often to me that I hook someone and go a full circle around the map to search other people and when I just complete the circle back to the hook, someone is unhooking.
    It's rather hilarious to get all kind of "camper" and "tunneler" insults after I roamed around the map so far and coming back.^^

    Wow this sounds like a cry for free unhookings. 

    If you want to avoid getting camped, try not to be a really good decoy/nuisance, or find a way to overcome their desire to secure a kill.

    I mean of you're out there sabotaging hooks, flash lighting them, looping them tons, body blocking, etc. They will want to see you out of the way.

    Also if you're close to having 5 gens done, or have them done, or the gates open, why would they leave? You can't pressure them with generators, and the survivors are low on objectives. Altruism, or escape is about all that's left.
    It especially doesn't help if the killer hasn't had much luck in game. If they don't feel like they can catch you in time, they will make you escape or come to them.

    Penalties to ranking up won't help. Here's a crazy idea. Reward them for leaving the hook. And I don't mean perks. Any idea that says "well, just use (insert perk name)" won't work because not everyone has the perk, or has the perk on the killer they want.

    You still have people who will do it just because, or they got rewarded enough by altruistic hook swarmers, but you will reduce camping.

    Its survivors like you that rush for hooks that support this camping playstyle.
    Camping is actually a really bad strategy that results in very low BP and a depipp

    But... but... but I get a crapton of bloodpoints for unhooks and I am entitled to getting them.
    And getting hooked is just losing one life, you know? Like Super Mario.
    Everyone has a right to get 3 chances. That's an unwritten gaming rule.
    And one chance has to start brand new, not injured but at full health. Otherwise it would be tunneling.
