more campers now than before?

So a simple question do you have more facecampers (or campers with campers i mean people like hooking basement in shack and just running around shack or inside patrolling) Than before? i dont care about your wins or losses against these types of killers just if they do camp or not in your games?

    I'm certainly not calling everyone a liar but I see a face camping killer MAYBE once every twenty games.

    The "Face camping pandemic" people scream about on this forum is not my experience at all.

    It’s definitely more common since 6.1.0

    Obviously it won’t be the same experience for everyone but it has definitely had more of a presence since.

    If you understand how impactful Camping was before, then it’s pretty much a no brainer the fact that we see it more when gen times take longer something which used to be the survivor’s only way to punish it.

    I’m not experiencing more, fortunately. It was worse for me prior to this patch. Everyone’s experience may be due to matchmaking/MMR and/or region. I play on NA servers, however I can no longer make a guesstimate to what my MMR is. I feel like matchmaking is random as hell. The only player type I do not get, is a bad/inexperienced killer. Haven’t seen one in a month.

    Dudes, don't go down where basement is. It's that simple.

    Depends of definition of facecamping. If we literally mean facecamp (within 3-5m of hooked person, looking at him and waiting) then yeah. Maybe 1 in 20 games. If we talk about killers that feign trying to do something else (never further then 24m, patrolling in the vicinity and looking for people that are going for an unhook) - then 2 out of 5 games. If we talk about really "fair" killers - going away from a hook, ignoring hooked person until he bodyblocks or until somebody else is hooked, then such can be seen in 1 out of 10 games maybe. At least in my experience.

    I think "camping" is just too broad a term. Facecampers sniffing your frontside starting with the first down are rather rare. - Once there is only one gen left it becomes much more frequent (but I also think last gen is already kinda late/end game and rules change then) and is more or less the norm once all gens are completed (again: rules change then). The former kind of facecamping is something I can't stand - the latter is something I see as a challenge and one I quite enjoy; survs have to decide if they can pull off a late game rescue or if they just take the x-man-out and leave the hooked one.

    What I have seen become more frequent as an overall match-strategy is proxying and refusing to chase further than ~30m away from the hook, forcing hook trades/securing hook stages (that kinda goes hand in hand; either there is a hook trade or the second hook stage is secured) by staying in close proximity (except hightly mobile killers, they just return to hook every ten seconds and disrupt everyone else inbetween those pitstops by the hook). I would even kinda sorta understand the back-to-hook-playstyle if that was the primary way for a killer to find a new target --- but the fun thing is a lot of them do have mid-match-location-perks like BBQ, Darkness Revealed or Floods. Lethal is a fav as well (that whole trade business only works if you find and down your first target somewhat quickly, after all), same as all ears (tho that's more of a chase perk, I guess). Plus most of the time the killer goes for the unhooked one and not the unhooking one.

    yea i kinda specified with an example killers hooking you in basement and just running around the killershack you know outside the door looking right and left then going pallet side looking out and left not chasing anyone basically only taking 2 step outside to see if there is anyone close is what i meant by camping... Playing around the hook is not camping.

    I haven’t seen an increase in facecamping per se. I have seen a lot of campers and tunnelers, however.

    And even more suiciders.

    Camping and tunneling is the best way to win

    Yup.

    Literally just got camped last game, lost a hook state while being repeatedly hit, just because I took a hit for a Nancy that was on death hook. That's it. I was minding my own business the rest of the game.

    I was also camped the previous game. We had a DC at the start of the match, Wesker proceeded to tunnel feng for whatever reason, slugged her before death hook and went after someone else. I went to pick her up, went down and got camped.

    I'm sorry for not leaving my teammates to die I guess?

    Camping is not going to win you the game. IF survivors play it right you will get a 1k.

    Tunneling is not the best way to win the game, it is however the easiest way to win the game. It's something you can resort to near end game to apply pressure or...just at the start of the game if you're struggling with playing a killer in general. To each their own.

    I didn't realize the only camp-able hooks are the ones in the basement xD

    Basement is the easiest campable spot. If you want to camp other hooks go ahead. But it won't be as easy as camping basement hooks.

    Probably no more than before, it’s typically the same people who hyper focus on this on the forums.

    Also camping and tunnelling is the go to excuse for a huge number of streamers and general players when things don’t go their way.

    It’s almost a cultural norm to blame it if you die in game as survivor.

    If you broaden your definition enough anything in the game can be camping and tunnelling.

    So I’d say no it’s probably no more prevalent than it always was.

    I've facecamped more than I have in the past, which really wasn't much at all. I did it, but it was probably off season or something idk.

    Anyway, it's what a lot of burnout does to a man.
