Something seriously needs to be done about Bubba's prevalent ability to facecamp.

There is something that can be done - do gens, leave him to his one kill and then get out.

Unfortunately you are always going to encounter the random moron who plays like this and while the spoil the match for the poor sucker on the hook, they also can't be having much fun standing in the same spot for most of the match.

I have never seen the same Bubba player I saw face camping someone out of the game a year ago still doing the same thing. They all bore of it eventually and end up wanting to actually play the game from what I can tell. So punish this play style but doing gens and getting out, you cant save that one person.

I hate it, but people just need to accept it. When a teammate goes into the basement against Bubba, you have to write them off. When I get hooked and camped by a Bubba, I am sitting there hoping my team will leave me, so the Bubba gets as few kills as possible.

It's crap, but its the natural order.

Don't worry i'm sure they will gut his ass. Then Nurse/Blight number soar even HIGHER.

well bhvr is planning to do something about face camping as a strategy, but not a nerf to bubba.

Looping bubba around the basement gives me the adrenaline rush I need.

I see it as a meme, I take it as a compliment, I obviously looped them well. Unless it was straight away then let everyone do gens, I don’t care 🤣

I don’t think they’ll do anything to Bubba necessarily, but they have specifically said they have been experimenting with systems to steer killers away from literal facecamping. Zone defense is fine but they don’t like how face camping plays out for either side since the optimal strategy when it happens is the other survivors just sit and do gens and (if it’s not Bubba for instance) maybe do a hook trade after 90 seconds or so.

If I had to guess for instance I wouldn’t be surprised if the mechanic they put in place to move Cages around was also kind of a backdoor test to see if it might be a good system for hooks too.

Maybe, it depends how you play it.

But I have played with solos who understand what is happening and do rush the gens and we get out. Though I do acknowledge that probably more often than not team mates are stupid and hand them a free kill, or they get caught with the inevitable NOED at the end.

Bubba is a very weak killer. Against decent survivors, sometimes camping is the only option unless you want an eight minute match where all four escape.

Yesterday I had a match on Blood Lodge where a survivor had three pallets in the middle of the map. Two safe, one 50/50 where I was able to bloodlust and get a hit. But those pallets were right next to the basement, and on their left was the fun bus. Any time I chased three of the survivors, they ran to this area. Imagine how long I would have to chase in order to wear down just this one part of the map. Well you don’t need to imagine, I did it, they did three gens while I chased a Laurie around all of that. And after those three pallets, the fun bus, running the shack window and the god pallet, the fun bus was close to an LT tike with another pallet, and then they dead harded to the main two story building with a window and another 50/50 pallet and that’s where I finally downed her. Literally the only two places where counterplay and mind games were possible, and I succeeded at both, but still lost three gens (basically four) because the tiles are so strong and Bubba is so weak.

The basement was in the main two story building so you bet I hooked her there and camped her to death. And guess what? Survivors are so overly altruistic, they popped the fourth gen soon after the hook but then they stopped doing gens so try and save and I got a 3k 😆

The old counter play to face camping bubba (do gens and get a 3 man out) no longer suffices when you factor in deadlock, no way out etc.

Huge buffs to camaraderie would be a good place to start

that makes no sense at all. The killer can progress the game just by not camping?

He's been around a long time and I remember camping being far worse then it is today.

Poor Bubba first his Leather faces get taken away now people want his Chainsaw turned into a fisher price toy.

But it doesnt delay the hook timer indefinitely, so all that is doing is keeping multiple survivors off gens to slow the game down... Literally worse than proccing it once and running away and doing gens?

Just reread your reply, I see what you're saying now, I wasn't suggesting stopping the timer for as long as the survivor is in range of the hook. Camaraderie is pretty bad because it requires the perk user to be the one that is hooked, so you either get lucky or all 4 survivors run it.

My thoughts were a buff more along the lines of it applies to the person on the hook whether they have the perk or the person in range has the perk, and possibly an increase in duration to reflect the addition of newer passive slow down perks.

Unless facecamping itself is addressed this will always be an issue. If we nerf bubba's facecamp people will probably use trickster or something to do it. Any killer that can chew through health states. I do hope they do something about it soon though, because many people will play him to harass streamers and facecamp them.

I'm a Basement Bubba (Insidious). He doesn't need a rework. It's 4 Survivors against 1 Killer and Survivors have the use of headsets to communicate. Killers are on their own. I don't like getting face-camped but it's still a strategy and I do it as a Killer. I became a Bubba Main because of the insane amount of body blocking and bullying that I was encountering. Teams have a harder time doing that with Bubba and it's a nice change of pace. Here's some advice, don't taunt the Killer (teabagging, body-blocking, getting in their face and motioning for them to chase you, repeatedly clicking your flashlight at them). That's how you get camped.

If you want to understand.

He is not the Hero you will like but he is the one we need.

I am not the creator but i think this is the best Bubba video i have seen so far.
