    I didn’t ask for a life lesson.

    I want this game to be as fun as possible for everyone. Facecamping isn’t fun for the majority of people. Let’s not pretend it’s not a problem ok?

    Shrug.

    His kit makes him a good camper. As does Trapper, Hag, Pig (box tunneling), Billy and probably others I'm forgetting.

    It's no more cheesy than running a stacked SWF with an RPD/Haddonfield/Badham offering.

    That said, face camping is basically trolling. He's losing all his BP by doing this. It's the killer equivalent of DCing. Either he's had a really crappy day, or someone teabagged/flicked him.

    BHVR have already said, they have something in the works to further discourage face camping.

    You're gonna get one anyways. Some killers enjoy face camping. If the team is too stupid to realize what's going on then they deserve to all get chainsawed anyways. If I'm up against a camping Leatherface and I throw myself to death knowing he is camping then I deserved to be hooked. You can't rescue everyone Everytime.

    Exactly, “do gens” is always the response, but what about the person on the hook? At least the other people have a chance to do something meanwhile your just there doing nothing.

    "Life isn't fair" really isn't the slam dunk lazy people think it is. This is a game. People play games to have fun. When facecamping happens, someone's not having fun - thus, the game is failing at its basic function to some degree.

    Good that this is what the minority is “enjoying”. We’ll see what’s gonna happen, the devs already said they’re looking Into facecamping so “enjoy” it as long as you can.

    "Tubby toad" is the most hilarious thing I've heard in a while, thanks for the laugh TC.

    Anyways, at what MMR are you at? I haven't gone up against a single Bubba today, thankfully, and I have... um... medium MMR.

    The survivor waiting 2 minute on hook is the reason the killer can only get 1 kill when they camp but if the hook guy leave early then the killer will prob get a 3k at least. In my book the hooked guy have a vital part in his team winning by him staying until the end

    Something desperately needs to be done about bubba. No fun. A complete rework maybe. He was way overbuffed and has no counterplay to his instant down.

    Do not stun the Bubba.

    Do not get chased for more than 20 seconds.

    Do not make the Bubba go into tantrum.


    The more of these thing you make the more is the possibility of getting facecamped.


    All of these things ENRAGE the Bubba. Maybe you made the mistake of enraging the Bubba.

  • StarLost

    BHVR have said that they are working on a system to stop facecamping.

    That said, you are not and should not be guaranteed a safe unhook.

    If I'm patrolling past a hooked survivor on my way back from gens, that's not camping. If you decide to unhook in my face, I'm going to down you.

    Survivors already love to play grab-ass around the hook, as the killer has to choose between defending it and losing BP.

  • hiken

    not really, i know is ######### painfull getting face camped like that, annoying... but hat could they do, your teammates should rush gens quick as possible try to play with decent survivors and dont go down to quick agaisnt a bubba so at best he gets 1k he will get punished and understand that face camping only leads to losing if survivors managed to get 2 gens before the first hook.

  • Tsulan
    Tsulan Member Posts: 15,095

    Ah yes, I remember a match where a bubba camped the hook and my teammates camped bubba instead of doing gens.

    They didn't see the problem or the irony.

    THAT'S WHAT I'M SAYING!

    I had a match on Hawkins the other day against a facecamping Bubba, my teammates kept getting hooked because they kept going for saves and I was screaming in my mind to just focus on generators.

  • thrawn3054
    thrawn3054 Member Posts: 5,897

    Sometimes this is true. Unfortunately this strategy with a Bubba in solos is almost a guaranteed 3k If not a 4k. Bubba downs and camps first person. They rush gens. Bubba downs and camps second person. Gens finish. Bubba finds at least a third survivor with Noed and camps them. Especially effective if he has No way Out, and Remember Me.

    Realistically what can an average solo group do against that? Hell the average swf would probably struggle. I'm not saying Bubba needs a nerf, but dismissing it as an issue caused by survivors is hardly a fair assessment.

    It's not easy for him to chase, it's easy for him to camp someone to death guaranteed once they're downed. He usually gets better results doing that than chasing like normal, because 1 bump and you're stunned forever, or 1 window and you can't do anything. If they could just make his camping not so effective and his general chase actually effective, that would be great.

  • GenJockeyNance

    Why you rebuff Bubba's affections? Das rude.

  • Sonzaishinai
    Sonzaishinai Member Posts: 7,976

    Those people are shooting themself in the foot. They keep getting stronger survivors without actually getting better themself.

    They keep cheesing kills untill they face survivors that know how to deal with it. And suddenly they are a low experienced killer that is stuck in high mmr.

    And those are the people that come here to the forums to yell out how impossible killer is.

    Camping and tunneling are valid strats which sometimes are necesarry. But overly relying on them is going to bite you in the butt sooner or later

  • FellowKillerMain

    I would like for his chase to be more effective, too - it would have been helpful back when he was my main and required mostly basic attacks! I just don't want them to nerf his power any more. I used to really like Nemesis + PWYF Bubba, but the changes broke that. His AoE (area of effect) one-shot ability also makes him fairly unique.

    But, even though it's not easy, there are ways out of his camping, it just requires some finagling and a very specific build.

    So, someone who hasn't been hooked, that's using BT + Deliverance + DS can save someone that's being camped - with Lucky Break the escape is guaranteed. Most campers aren't prepared for BT, so BT should guarantee the activation of Deliverance from the safe hook rescue, then DS + Lucky Break guarantees the escape after using Deliverance. Now, just hope the doors are powered and almost open.

    It seems like a lot needs to go right for this to work, but when these facecampers are... facecamping, they generally facecamp the first person they down, meaning other people don't get downed and easily sets up someone with this build to be a savior. The only thing that can and will eventually go wrong is the camper expects BT and downs both survivors when unhooking.

    Genuinely surprised people are actually defending leatherfacecamping.

    One player is being denied from playing the game, and how? By their opponent doing nothing. All they have to do is exist within a space of 5 meters of the hook, and that survivor is guaranteed dead. They’re supposed to just to spend another 2 minutes waiting, knowing full-well that anyone coming in for the save is dead as well.

    And why? Because the Bubba got salty and has to express their fictional superiority over the other player, who may not even have had anything to do with it. Or because they genuinely enjoy it, though I’ll never understand why. Or just because they’re creatures that revel in the unwarranted creation of salt. With exception of the middle one, I’d actually call that toxic. Buzzword, I know, but honestly? I’m so goddamn sick of this.

    ”Do gens” Ah, yes, let me do gens from the basement from a crusty meathook. I am totally content with getting 7k BP at most on an already BP-starved role. I will always get teammates that know what’s going on and won’t try to fruitlessly bait out the Bubba.

    And there’s absolutely nothing I can do beyond that first chase. It doesn’t even matter where I go down. He can do it anywhere. Hell, he doesn’t even need to hook me. And even if I do get hooked, I can’t suicide, ‘cause then Bubba has more time to go after others. “Just tab out”, I hear you say? Yeah, no, that really shouldn’t be necessary.

    Also, it’s just 2 minutes. Unless y’all got BNP’s and Prove Thyself, that’s not even all that long. He will find another survivor, and will down them, and will sentence them to watching a 3D screenshot for 2 minutes as well. If he doesn’t, he’s actually just a poor player. More often than not, he’s really not, though. It’s just way too easy for him to do, and actually get results from it as well.

    Aaaaand the current meta makes playing killer feel like being facecamped by Bubba, every trial. So, how do you reconcile that? Oh, make the game fair. Tile generation, genspeeds, and second chance perks ruin this game, not killers.

    Also, as an aside, they're not guaranteed dead. You can save someone from being facecamped with: BT + DS + Deliverance + Lucky Break or Dead Hard.

  • GentlemanFridge
    GentlemanFridge Member Posts: 5,714

    Regardless of game balance, meta, whathaveyou, it simply should not be possible to just completely deny one player from even moving. This was already a thing before this meta appeared, and has been a thing since Bubba’s release.

    In my opinion, facecamping with Bubba should become a bannable offense similarly to bodyblocking. Yes, I do feel that strongly about it.

    It is, and I’m not ashamed of it. This is one of the very few things in the game that I feel this strongly about.

    Of course, making it a bannable offense is rather extreme, and I fully understand why it will never be a thing, but I’d be in favour of it.

  • FellowKillerMain
    FellowKillerMain Member Posts: 858

    You don't have to be ashamed of it, but you must understand that if you're fully behind being irrational, then you are against reason, and if you're against reason, then every argument you make should become invalid. For your arguments to work, we have to have a common understanding of what things are and aren't. Some arguments make sense, and others don't. If you're saying that making sense doesn't matter, then even your own arguments can't make sense. Irrationality is a quandary, to be sure.

  • GentlemanFridge
    GentlemanFridge Member Posts: 5,714

    My main argument is emotion based. That being the fun aspect. What defines “fun” is by its very nature subjective, and thereby cannot be rationally defended by all in the same manner. I never said that I was fully behind being irrational, I just don’t think this particular subject warrants purely rational thinking. This is a video game. Video games are supposed to be fun.

    Fun doesn’t make sense, yet we still all experience it. Being facecamped is not fun for me. It feels shite, and I have to endure it because someone behind a screen said so. And clearly, OP thinks so as well. Some may find joy in laughing at the Bubba being a goofball. Not me. Is that irrational? Then so be it.

  • FellowKillerMain
    FellowKillerMain Member Posts: 858

    Nah, just the part where you thought people should be banned. Because in a different context your argument is equally effective, in that playing killer at the moment feels a lot like being facecamped by bubba. So, I'm not really sure how to reconcile that, because for you, it happens occasionally, whereas for killers it's almost every match.

    To elaborate a little more, do you think it's fair that most killers right now feel like there's nothing they can do to progress because they're being punished by the balancing in the game? How would you feel about facecamping if you found out it was being done more often because of the way the game is currently balanced?

  • GenJockeyNance
    GenJockeyNance Member Posts: 687

    Why get upset about it? I know and understand there's nothing the player can do and it's unfun but why let yourself get upset over it? It's just one game unless you're getting several Bubba's in a row. I used to get upset over it too, had this exact feeling but then one day I just stopped being upset over it happening and don't care anymore if Bubba's insidious face camping me in the basement or anywhere. It's game design, not the player. Players are only using what tools are given to them unfortunately. Just seems like a bonus to have insidious, iron grasp and agitation to the camping Bubba's toolkit but yeah, why waste your energy being upset about it?

    I’m not upset, I’m despondent. It’s been literal years since I’ve been upset at any game for longer than half an hour. I cannot bring myself to stop caring, however, ‘cuz then I stop caring about even playing the game, which I don’t want to.

    I “waste” my energy for it because I’m not the only one. Leatherfacecampers aren’t in every game, sure, but I’ve had 3 in a row last week. As an average survivor, I shudder to think what the lower ranks are like, who are utterly powerless against it. They don’t know about the venus survivor trap that is Insidious Bubba. They don’t know that doing gens is really the only option. And for them, there’s a very real chance the Bubba gets the 4k by sheer chase-to-down speed.

    It’s the game’s design, yes. But what I’m saying is that it shouldn’t be. Moris were also just “the tools provided”, but we all know how ######### those were.

    See, that’s the peculiar thing. I’m at the point where I can probably call myself a killer main, yet I rarely have such games. Being facecamped, or at least, having a facecamper in the game is actually more common for me than me being genrushed.

    Hmm, well, it's flipped for me. I haven't experienced one facecamper as survivor and I've completed midnight grove, and the first chapter of the new Tome. Whereas, my first 10 or so games after reset are fine and fun. But once I start hitting those sweaty SWFs, the game isn't worth playing anymore, because it's not really possible to win unless you're Blight/Nurse/Billy/Plague/Spirit and I get tired of playing them.

    Even newer players that don't know how to 360 can easily win by just making sure people stay on gens, and when looping hug obstacles, and don't drop pallets early/carelessly - oh and dead hard into a window at shack just as the killer is about to end the chase.

  • GenJockeyNance
    GenJockeyNance Member Posts: 687

    Yeah, I see what you're saying. It's terrible game design and many people use it for EZ wins or if they got salty, they know they can 100% confirm a kill. Bubba is perfect for avenging his salt.

    And definitely right about the low ranks. My sister barely plays this game, she's as low as MMR can be and if it weren't for me informing her ahead of time before she began playing this game, she'd been toast but her low MMR team falls for it. She's usually the hatch escapee in that situation. She feels bad for the person getting camped but she is smart enough to just do gens when she realizes there's a mysteriously random chainsaw sound coincidentally followed by a teammate downed in the basement by the hooked survivor. So there's 4ks. A lot of them in low ranks with Bubba. Not a very good experience for the new player who is learning the game and is vibing and Bubba just... face camps them to death.
