Campers from hook 1 are bad for this game
Is amazing how much people is face camping now. I just got 5 face campers in a row. 2 Leatherfaces, 1 huntress, 1 legion and 1 trapper.
They just ruin the game for everyone and I don't understand how they can even enjoy the game just standing there.

probably about as much as normal killers dealing with [BAD WORD] survivors both side have been a massive pain lately

Doubt. Doubt. Doubt. And doubt.

I understand your frustration, camping and tunneling are indeed a problem of DBD, but they are just part of fundamental problems this game has. Tunneling and camping are too effective, sadly, but right now the game also has the issue that survivors can on average complete their objective faster than killers. And sadly, the way the game is balanced right now, camping and tunneling can often be the best strategy to win a match. This does depend on the situation of a match though.
This game would definitely benefit from a nerf to camping and tunneling, but that can not happen without a nerf to survivors objective, in my opinion at least.

Anything more than a 1k is on the survivors and they should be avoiding the killer to the best of their abilities anyway.

As chasing becomes less optimal camping becomes a more valid play.
Just had a game as spirit, got two hooks so my options are continue to chase inneffectively against much better players or switch up gameplay and make them come to me.
It also really tilts survivor teams making them do really risky plays and forget their objective. So camping that second hook at 2 gens left turned a probable 0k into a 3k.
Got the usual end game abuse for it but its not personal just business.
The sad thing is how angry people get about it, its only a game.
I'll say this too some of the best games I've had as survivor have been playing around the basement hook trading saves against a camping killer it can be intense especially against LF.

With CoH i camp more, why chase wounded survs with their o.p self care when i can make you come to me.

If you camp the first hook you will lose 4 gens, this is not a strategy that will get you anything.

If only this was true :(
Survivors throw entire games just to save someone.

It's also funny that Survivors will see a Killer camp, stand around NOT doing gens, go for a save they literally can't get, and then scream that camping somehow magically gets 4Ks.
All while ignoring every second of participation they had in feeding that camping Killer his 4K.

There are a lot of things that are bad for the game camping isn't even my top 3 maybe 4 or 5 I guess

That's because it's more fun than gen simulator and run out the gates
At almost 5 years in this game, I prefer to play and help my teammates. Not to just "win" every match.
So, sure it often leads to 4ks, because the chances of pulling a successful rescue in this situation, is more thrilling then the tactics to counter it.
Unless one cares more about an individual escape then.
Which I don't anymore.

And that is exactly what should happen.
Nerf to face-camping and tunneling-off-hook, with a simultaneous nerf to gen speeds. No new perks to Band-Aid-fix the problem.
I think a 5 second "Sprint Burst" from hook would be an excellent way to fix the tunneling-off-hook. Maybe some type of Borrowed-Time effect mixed in for Face-Camping.

I agree 100%. But I do think that would require a lot of work. On the other hand, BHVR has had lots of time for that by now. I still have hopes that the game will see these balance changes some day. But I am not that optimistic anymore.

For real - what should you do as killer?
If you get looped you realize quickly if the survs are too good for you. Should you try to catch one the whole game?
No, you switch.
And if by accident you down somebody you can also stay at the hook and try to get maybe 1k.
And even that is very uncertain unless you play Bubba who actually can punish bad unhooking.
Sadly many people who complain have never played killer against a too good team. Getting destoryed as killer is equally unfun.

Won't happen. It needs to happen, but won't.
Survivors will riot if gen speeds are touched. Even if camping & tunneling, and genspeeds, are all nerfed in the same patch; Survivors will scream for the gen speeds to be reversed. I guarantee there will be screams of 'Unplayable' and 'Whiny Killers ruined the game'.
Yes, some Killers will do the same. But just from having been in various DBD communities over the years; I've seen far more Killers admit camping & tunneling are boring (but they work), and admit that 'Gen speeds made me camp/tunnel to have a hope of winning', then I have seen Survivors admit that gen speeds go fast.
Usually, any comment of gen speeds is met with 'git gud' and 'stop whining' and 'pressure gens!'
