SBMM in a nutshell.

Well these people sadly do exist and somebody's got to play against them. In the "old" rank-based systems the really hard tunnelers who did their best to remove one survivor from the game before the first gen gets done, and killers who were facecamping at five gens that I encountered, were mostly rank 1, so it's not like the new system could be any worse in classifying them. In fact the reason why I play very, very little survivor is that I can keep myself in the middle of the rank range and don't need to go against red rank killers so I don't need to waste half of my build on "essentials to get to play the game" BT and DS and can run variety builds because most mid-rank killers don't camp or tunnel.

I would totally agree that it is hardly skillful with how boring games some killers get their pity kill and still maintain rank 1, but if you assign them a low "skill" score they'll just get 4k after 4k against new players who have little chance of countering this kind of play properly.

Tunneling, camping, and slugging are the most efficient methods to win. If your mmr is high, you will run into killers with high mmr. It also seems to care about kills more than hooks, because I have been getting easy survivors myself and I spare a lot of people nowadays.

The fact that you mentioned your friends throughout your original post implies that you are SWF's. Why even mention them if you're not? Are you not able to comprehend how that could easily be misconstrued?

My question is how many games in a row do you need to get 4k'd before the mmr decides you shouldn't play against nurse every other match?

This! Everyone thinks swf is a boogyman. Me and my friends will gladly throw just to save eachother usually saying "I'll die with youuuuu!!" Or when we do get stomped "first game doesn't count" even if it's the 12th game. And whoever dies first can't have perks the next round. So handicap

DBD is in an awkward position where it is undeniably a hardcore competitive game (No real rubber banding, extreme snowballing for both sides, both sides can take extreme advantage of misplays on the other team's side, and optimal play often not being intuitive and based on systems knowledge), but it isn't really... a well designed competitive game.

So in a hardcore competitive game you can't 'take it easy' on an opponent unless you have some sort of read that tells you it's 'safe' to do so. In this context, camping when you expect a fast hook rescue is like grabbing when you expect your opponent can't tech throws in a fighting game and is just non-stop blocking: it is actually both the highest skill play you can make AND you HAVE to make that play.

This is why most killers don't want SBMM in the game: Killer is forced to sweat twice as hard as survivors for a LOT of reasons (no downtime, for example, if the killer wants to take a moment to breath they just lose, while the survivors can relax and re-orientate while healing, or on a gen, or any number of things), and the killer is punished MUCH harder for small mistakes (A survivor mishandling a chase looses a hook state, a killer mishandling one chase loses the game as 3 gens pop), which means that in 'close' games the killer has no real room to be anything but the biggest sweatlord.

And that isn't a condemnation or saying camping is 'low skill.' In fact, it is important to understand that most of the skill of DBD for a killer has very little to do with chases and is more a time management game. Running in a circle around a loop waiting for you to throw a pallet kinda ######### sucks and is bad gameplay, but trying to evaluate things like deadzones or optimal pressure on a slugged target is actually fun for the killer because they get to think and apply skill and out-manuver you. Same with camping, there is actually a way to 'optimally camp' and camping counterplay. So even outside SBMM it is actually kinda fun and skillful for a killer to camp or slug if they know it will screw you up, it is their JOB to screw you up and the tools they have that let them make CHOICES to screw you up involve being mean to you, as is the case in most competitive games.

So camping is sorta an inevitability mechanically, and even if systems were introduced to make it less attractive (ex: Tying gen repair to hook states so the killer wasn't in a position where they absolutely HAVE to kill a survivor ASAP to have a chance vs a good survivor team, which they MUST assume you are until proven otherwise), the game gets worse for the killer if you force them to just loop in chases all the time. It isn't that survivors shouldn't loop, but you should be aware that, at least at strong loops for most killers, it is exactly as exciting to be in that situation as to be sitting on a hook staring at Bubba camping you, and most killers will minimize that time via long term strategies like slugging and camping to force more and more survivors out of strong areas into weaker ones.

By "stop genrushing" you mean "stop playing the game and go AFK for several minutes"?

Let me sum up matches where killers don´t camp:

gen rush, gen rush, gen rush, gen rush, rush gens, dc on first hit, gen rush, rush gens, rush gens, rush hooks, gen rush, gen rush, etc.

Ah yes, this game is so much fun for everyone who tries to play "fair".

This is a PvP game. If the survivors are trying to win, you have to play to win as killer. You got to tunnel, slug and camp when appropriate. If you don't, you lose. Playing nice = throwing the game.
