I know i know, play how you want don't care what people think, etc...

I'm in dog ######### MMR so I can afford to play nice which means I usually try to avoid face camping even in EGC, and don't tunnel, etc..

I'm learning Demo right now, and just messing with his different addons. So Lifeguard Whistle triggers KI for any nearby survivors w/o having to charge my power. So Im guessing, hey why not just place my portals right next to the gens, so that when survivors work on the gen ill be getting a notification.

Just wondering if camping gens is a thing? It wasn't a 3 gen situation, they completed 2-3 gens.

    Don't see how else it'd be used, unless you plan on camping basement with free info, or maybe happen to have a map with one tight connecting hallway which can give info. Maybe guarding a hex with it?

    It's using an add-on to its fullest potential. If it's active, then they can see it. It's on them.

    There's literally no other use for that addon. Either you place your portals on gens/hexes, or just use another one instead.

    Never let other people's opinions on your gameplay or use of perks stop you from having fun.

    If you enjoy using that build, do it. You're allowed to have fun, and it's decently strong.

    Camping gens is not a bad thing. Survivors do complain about it, but especially if you're like me and don't have many perks available, it's the only info you are able to get. This sounds like how the perk was intended to be used.

    As someone who is also learning Demo more, as of late, it seems like the add-on was quite specifically designed to monitor points of interest...and generators are pretty dang interesting :)

    And honestly, even coming from a Survivor perspective, I would assume that to be the main use case.

    Don't let Survivor salt (or Killer salt) get to you. It's just the way entitled people react to failure. It can't be their fault. Must be that tunneling killer or that Toxic SWF made up of solo queue players...

    Excuses, excuses. One day they'll realize that "their MMR" just ain't as high as they think.
