Dont get me wrong Im not speaking survivor side. Im speaking as a killer in this discussion.

I had so many games when the survivors forced me to camp or tunnel.

For example I hook a survivor. I dont have the time to kick the generator or the pallet near the hook and leaving it, that all the team is already here for the save and they call me camper in endgame chat.

Same example, I let them unhook in front of me. The survivor freshly unhooked try to take a hit with BT. So I wait 12 second and down him. I try to pick up so I get a DS and I can leave him, he dont have DS............ they call me tunneler at the end.

Still same example, I decide to leave the hook so they dont call me camper again. They are all in same area doing the generator near the hook. I kick it, down the survivor doing the gen and go back to the hook. They are still there healing themself...... so they call me camper.....

What should I do ? Pretend to not see them ? Pretend to be a baby killer ?

The problem of this game for me its designed around camping and tunneling. Yes I know in this case its survivor fault but yes I camped and tunneled because I had no other choice.

When I tell the survivors they said : your other choice is playing better.

I really dont get it....

Yes I dont care about endgame chat and what people think but Im sick of being forced to camp or tunnel because the game is designed in a way sometimes, when survivors playing bad I had no other choice.

And no I dont have fun as killer because the game told me to play that way.

    No you just try to make fun of me by saying what Im not saying. I laughed just because you did a bad joke 😂 not because the joke was fun

    I always respond to them with LOL or something of that effect

    I do not like to tunnel or camp either but I'm not going to throw the entire game to avoid it if you're going to force my hand like that (especially you BT players who actively get in my way when I'm TRYING to go after the person who farmed you off the hook).

    I'm going to do my best to play "sportingly" but if you're going to make me play "unsportingly", then so be it. But don't bother messaging me about it because your cries mean nothing to me.

    I totally agree ! But I think if the game was not designed around these mechanics everybody would enjoy the game more.

    if you don't want to tunnel and camp just don't do it lol no one's forcing you...

    In your three examples you mention survivors calling you a tunneler/camper but then say you don't care, so what exactly are you complaining about?

    The game isn't telling you to play a certain way, survivors aren't forcing you to do certain things either, it's all you, you could literally go stand in a corner and no one could stop you. If you don't like tunneling and camping and don't think it's fun just stop doing it, it's that simple.

    You can play nice if the team is on your level. If the team is stronger this is the only chance you get if at all. If you win you will be called everything no matter what you did.


    Just played a Trapper game. For daily.

    Swamp - good team - fast gens pop - good loopers. They should clearly win.

    1 gen left - got one and in the basement. Put an amaaazing trap at the corner and camped the entrance.

    Two savers stepped in it and got hooked in the basement too.

    Last gen popped - still have to camp the basement - of course.

    They were a bit salty in chat...

    Sorry, but you have to camp this. If i didn´t all would have escaped. Ignore what the say if they lost.

    As also surv player i know how bad getting camped and tunneled can feel. But i also know why the killer does it.

    Im sorry then I know understand your point.

    So your other choice is sitting in a corner. Interesting.

    Yes I inderstand too know and I blame killers camping or tunneling when playing survivor.

    The survivors are probably not mad directly at you, but at all the killers who camp and tunnel them. I swear when I play survivor it happens every match or every other match and it gets to the point to where they are frustrated and text in chat. I also do play killer and understand your point i camp when things dont go my way (i do not tunnel however i go after the next person for strategic reasons.) But as i was saying survivors are just getting frustrated that camping and tunneling has become often every match or so.

    Well i can agree for me the most fun comes out of the early and mid game phase, when i am able to go for chases and spread hooks. I hate to get limited in my actions, like standing next to a hook or tunnel someone is sometimes required as the game progresses but it lets my brain rot and let me fall half asleep since its so undemanding and boring. I hate to get free injures. The survivor hate the camp/tunnel, i hate it but theres one thing i hate more which is seeing survivors getting boosted when they think they win and did an superior job while i let some things slide. I dont camp or tunnel straight away from the beginning but when we reach the mid game the fun is over - for both sides and we rumble down generic script x till the endgame. I win most of my games and get positive feedback. So this is the middle way that i choose but its a bit of a self set challenge and i wish those cheap plays wouldnt be as necessary and they would find more demanding gameplay elements instead but this company isnt known for their creativity in regards to gameplay balance.

    Camping and tunneling is a major issue, but if the survivors are rushing the hook before you can leave and then using BT offensively, that’s on them.

    I also try not to camp and tunnel, but if I see you before I’ve even left, I’m not going to pretend you’re not there.

    You don't have to play nice or pretend to be a baby killer. Mistakes should be punished. Ignore post-game chat. BT Bodyblocker? Just hit them as soon as they're off hook.

    On the off-chance a survivor doesn't have BT, just slug them. Free pressure. A survivor has to get off a gen, heal the slug from dying to injured and injured to healthy.

    Play how you want to play and don't worry about post-game chat.

    Camping and tunneling is NOT a major issue

    Playing killer and don't doing that is possible, much harder but if you want to go in the easy way, ok, go on, but stop crying because the survivor is become so toxic this day

    I saw a game here where the pyramid head camped the basement, using his body to block the entrance, after making a huge spaghetti trench in front of him, to after killing three people while camping them, the fourth who was able to get out of it was knocked down and he didn't want to pick her up until she was on the verge of bleeding out for the memento, for finally, in the end chat , insult them as losers... And you have people who come here afterwards to wonder why the survivors act like this... The frustration of just having to deal with this kind of killer, that's what I see

    I will. And then I'll turn back around just as soon as you think I'm leaving and smack you as you run up to the hook.

    You just need to learn to love it. You're playing as a psychopathic killer; it's not your job to be nice. Revel in every display of frustration and desperation that they give you. Laugh as you slug that Claudette who's trying to bodyblock the Meg she just unhooked and savor the knowledge that there will be three people not doing gens when somebody comes to save her. Feel the euphoria as that Jake who sabo'd every down you managed to get flails his hands helplessly in front of you as you tongue-kiss him on the hook. There is nothing wrong with it.

    Now, I'm not saying you need to take that attitude with every friendly grind squad that you come across, but they wanna play ball, play ball.

    Camping shouldn't be an attractive playstyle, and if it is, it's because the survivors are playing badly. That's on them, and you're only doing them a favor by butchering them all as quickly as you can and ascending to a higher MMR where they don't have to see you again and the survivors who replace them know how to deal with you. (I also fully support facecamping survivors who follow you around like a puppy with a toolbox or a flashlight all game, but I would still classify this as "playing badly" since they're not getting a gen done no matter how many saves they manage to get.)

    Tunneling is just a necessity these days if you want to win. I'll eat the BT and the DS and all those pallets if it means you don't have time to recharge your Dead Hard and go for the CoH somebody conveniently placed ten meters from the hook. If you can manage to get one survivor out of the way before more than a couple of gens are done, you've done well.
