Killer Camping
Genuine question to the killer community. I run a lot of games lately with killers getting a hook and just hitting the survivor over and over again or zapping them with the doc. I gotta ask, why? Is it a vendetta thing or is that fun?

I was all prepared to make some snarky comment like "Congratulations!! You've posted the 1,000,000th thread about camping!". But since you used the word genuine, I'll give you a genuine reply. When I first started playing the game I was a camping monster. Every game. Camp. Camp. Camp. I was really blood thirsty. I didn't care about bloodpoints. I didn't care about salt. I didn't care if everyone except one survivor died. I just wanted to see them die.
It was as simple as that really. A lot of that was part of the learning curve for me. When I first started I didn't really understand why I could smash someone's head in with a sledgehammer, put them on a meat hook, and 30 seconds later see them running around as if nothing happened. I figured if I made sure they didn't leave the meat hook then they would die. Sure enough it worked. Better yet, I didn't have to chase after the other survivors! They just came to me! That's way easier that running around constantly.
Eventually, I discovered the beauty that is BBQ. Hey, this double bloodpoint thing is pretty sweet. I started to understand how nice it is to get actual progress with blood point gains. Then that became my objective and I didn't really care all that much if survivors lived or died. Don't get me wrong. They still do a whole lot of dying. I just don't care all that much. It doesn't make my heart race like it used to. I actually enjoy good chases and look at the game from the survivors perspective once in a while. That was my evolution as a killer. I can't answer for everyone, but hopefully that gives you some perspective.

Bro, that first paragraph is just not 100%. I appreciate you being real, but god damn.

Honestly, the answer is as varied as the answer to why survivors teabag.
Some are new and believe it speeds up the sacrifice.
I've been known to hit a hooked survivor once as kind of a high five for a good chase.
Some do it just in case the survivor escapes, they'll be angry and start making mistakes.
Some do it because they're mad or frustrated because of (insert a reason here...teabagging, SWF, game imbalance, etc, etc).
I'm sure there's more but that's all the ones I know of currently.0 -
If you loop a killer around one pickup truck the entire game, they will down with NOED, hook you, facecamp and beat you mercilessly..at least that's one of my experiences0

For the most part I generally see camper they just wait however if I ever see a camper repeatedly smack or BM a Survivor on hook, I know that survivor must have done something to really piss off that killer whether it was in this match or a previous oneToppingPanic said:Genuine question to the killer community.

sometimes camping is straight up the best play if the survivors are overly altruistic

It only becomes fun when survivors throw themselves at you^^
