I changed my mind about camping: IS THE BEST TACTIC

No matter how loud you scream a no, this is definitely a bait thread. 
I'm sorry, but I think you've really no job but start pointless threads, which indeed leads to flaming and crazy arguments.

As much as i agree that this guy is some real weirdo who seems to be going crazy because of the recent survivor nerfs and can't deal with the fact that survivor isn't that easy to play anymore, I do have to agree with him to a certain extent about camping, it's definitely nothing killers should be insulted for, but it's a shame that it is such a good strategy in many matches in this game.
Especially with four solo survivors, once all of them have realised that the killer is camping, it can be to late to rush gens. And camping takes close to no skill, unlike playing killer normally.

The devs are responsible for this though, but I also understand why it's hard to implement a fair nerf to camping that can't be exploited by survivors.

However I also haven't seen the tournament so I can't say if this post is even true. Maybe he was just patrolling hooks because he spotted surviviors near the hooks, which some trolls like to call camping as well.

The emblem penalty isn't even bad. I facecamped a dying light and only lost 3% on chaser emblem.

When some people post things like that over and over, making dumb argument over and over. What do you expect? I just read radiant posts and threads to get a laugh at this point, there is no argument you can have with people like him/her

Whether or not an argument is "dumb" as you so put it, really is nothing more than a matter of opinion in most cases. Also, just because people disagree, don't make an argument dumb. In fact, it's more dumb to just completely dismiss a well written argument based on previous arguments, which is the case in regards to above. Also, it might be that some people post ideas that aren't necessarily the best ideas, or they don't make the same sense as the poster seems to have of it, but just because one dislikes an idea or disagrees with the idea, doesn't necessarily make it dumb. The only way we can make the game and community better, is not by dismissing people's arguments, or by calling them or their ideas/arguments dumb just because a lot of people disagree or dislike it. Quite often a good discussion can come of it which might lead to something new, or the very least people might actually begin to see the other side of things. Whenever I read a post, I try to remain objective and as unbiased as possible, because thats the only way it can be conducisive and constructive to the discussion and it's end result.

So the interesting thing about this particular topic, is the very fact that camping has been said by so many people including veterans that it isn't a viable strategy, and people should just do gens instead, where it being the main strategy by the winner in the tournament but also in the final match, proves that it indeed is viable strategy. Now I'm not saying that the majority of people can actually pull this off, but with practice, thought and effort, it can be made to work - which it apparently did in the tournament. Which actually leads me to, that perhaps people shouldn't be so quick to write off a strategy?

As far as camping being the best tactic, as shown by said tournament, it would require messaging the 4 Survivors in your Killer lobby and asking them not to bring any perks or add-ons. Otherwise, Borrowed Time, Kindred, et cetra come into the mix to really punish, or counter, camping.

No, it would require winning to be based SOLELY on kills vs escapes, which that tournament was. Give a different criteria, such the points based system that most other tournaments use, and other strategies become viable options.
