what fun do you killers get from camping for no reason?

Dear Survivor mains, camping is just as much unfun to Killers as it is to you, but thanks to how fast gens are done, how little time Killers have and how overly altruistic you guys tend to be, it often pays off.

Maybe gens get done fast because the killer is too busy camping to put pressure on the survivors?

Go watch rank 1 streamers play killer. Notice how they're too busy chasing someone every second to be camping. You don't need to camp/tunnel to win games. There's a mental barrier around purple ranks that people struggle with in this mindset.

Camping is basically a killer saying "well you guys are too tough for me, I'm done, I'm just gonna get this guarenteed kill instead".

I do, happens quite regularly that at least 2 gens pop during the first chase. But yeah what an idiot baby killer without brain, why did he follow the survivor into the loops, such a camper, git gud

Ok I can see you're getting bitter from this thread.

FYI when the guy said "tunneled" above he probs means when his teammates pull him off the hook anyway regardless of a killer in the area. No need to snap at him.

Firstly, let me just ask what killers do you use? Some will struggle, that's a sad fact about the game.

Secondly, losing 2 gens isn't the end of the game. It does seem that way and I know when I was nrw I felt the same but it's not the end. I've seen games that were in the bag get lost and games that were lost end up won. The game can change at any moment and I think that's the appeal of it.

The top tier killers can apply an immense amount of pressure. I've seen games where someone like Billy can be looped for 3 gens without a single hook, but then he finally gets 1 hook, zookes across the map, lands a quick chainsaw hit and suddenly hes got 2 people on hook, this creates a snowball effect the survivors can't recover from and gens just stop being done.

as a shape main camping has become a somewhat necessity first you get a early grab then stalk from a distance usually by the time they are rescued you can pop teir 3 but first you need to make sure the perosn who was rescued was in stage 2 this is essential as it prevents altruism when you pop teir 3 and begin your hooking spree

the only reason to do this for me would be because of the huuge amounts of salt i get in the end game lobby.

or if you played super toxic and denied me multiple hooks with your flashlight. this is enough for me to get rid of you.

This post is the primary reason people camp "without reason". They want to see you upset about it. They're trolls, and posts like this make them feel justified.

I am 100% certain that if people stopped complaining about camping it wouldn't be as big of an issue.

I'm not trying to say it's not a problem for the game, because it is. It sucks the fun out of the game. But it IS a valid strategy for killers who want to just get kills, and the game is built to allow it. But camping always favors the other survivors. They will probably all get out if the 1st person caught is camped. Unless they feed the camper.

And I'm not saying to, "just ignore it" either. Just don't keep posting about it every time it happens. Add to the existing discussions instead. And try to be constructive instead of just flaming killers. The constant threads popping up about camping (or punishing campers) is just making more people want to camp. They love the salt and think it's funny.

The Devs know people hate camping, and they will do what they can. But unfortunately there is no way to "fix" camping.

You could always do what your teammates did and just not get hooked in the first place.

If you're tunneled, find a loop.

If your hooked, you didn't play well enough.

Easy as that.

please... I get campers every other match and my survivor rank is like 12

I keep hearing excuse after excuse... .
"It's only in low ranks."
"It's only in high ranks."
"You must have deserved it."
"Their last match was probably awful."

I get it... there are SOME legit reasons to camp, even though as a rank 10 killer I've ONLY camped because someone was trolling their own team OR teabagging. 

please stop making excuses for these trash players.

If someone teabags you shouldn't camp, its a bad mindset. I used to have it back when I was an average killer (myers) trust me stop that habit it ruins ur games since they just do gens.

there's a difference between those who teabag to distract and catch your attention, and those who do it to celebrate a minor victory like stunning you. 

I won't waste my time on distractions, but you're going to strut around all cocky over 2s stun... I'm going to make sure you get a reminder about who runs the game.

Camping is an allowed strategy according to the developers. As much as it's boring to do, sometimes it helps the Killer win.

This is just reason enough to end the argument. If it's not against the rules, deal with it. As good old bricky says, killers don't have to follow any made up code of honor. Either because the context of the game seems to make it pay off or you just freaking want to, Killers shouldn't excuse themselves for this. Same us it's pointless asking survivors why they do one gen after the other.

Ffs, it's a two sided multiplayer game. One side is not "responsible" for the other's "fun". It's up to oneself.

I don't believe anyone ever camps for no reason. 

A while ago, I watched a YouTube video offering tips on killer.
One such tip was to never let the first person you hook live. 
The line of thinking is a little sound. 
1 less person doing gens. Anyone doing a rescue isn't doing gens and can get caught, and maybe killed. That means even fewer doing gens later.
That means no immediate gen rush, and that means less people doing gens later.

Of course the counter to this is just do gens, or gen rush, pop 2, or 3. Apply pressure on the killer to leave the hook. Rescue just before struggling.

Of course, depending on the time spent hooking the first person, that could mean 4, or even 5 gens are done.
Last gen gets done, then there's basically no way the killer will leave the hook.

This leads to the gates being open. Gates done means who ever is on the hook is going to get secures.

So, obviously the make sure the first hook dies tactic can backfire, and the video I watched didn't cover it backfiring. 

Of course there the idea of altruism, and bait. Lure in several survivors, knock down more than the 1 originally had.

And chaos. I can't count how many times I watched the yellow auras go into panic mode once I got hooked. Neither rescue, totems, or gens were being done.

If you run around a killer too much, or make yourself known to be dangerous in a chase by killing their time, they may prioritize you leaving the game. The nail that sticks up too much gets hammered down first. 

Of course there's just people that do it to make others mad, etc.

Tl:dr the reasons are many, and vary as much as killers. Trying to make sense of it is kinda folly.

i said WHY do you camp not STOP camping its against the rules

There are no rules genius. Killer's do not have to abide by the Non-existent "Survivor Rule-book". IF you got hooked, you got hooked. Learn from your mistakes so you don't get hooked next time.
