Cenobite box camping is a Problem

I stumbled upon a video where i saw this problem in action, im guessing a lot of you guys saw it already.

Video-link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMx5AykaloU&ab_channel=InternalChaos

Perk Builds / Addons:

I just tried this myself with that build. The Survivors are pretty much forced to dc. 2 of them in fact did dc so i just finished the game by hooking the last 2. This is almost like holding them hostage except that the game could possibly end at some point. I think this needs to be addressed, its basically a way to let others suffer without doing anything.

Cenobite be like: Good suffering.

    Pigs addon "video tape" also is a problem because she could camp before a jig saw box and you might die based on rng.

    So... a trolling situation where the 4 survivors are able to do all gens and escape is a problem? How are they forced to DC when you just posted a video showing they can literally finish the gens?

    Unfun? Yes. A problem? No, it is a free (and painful) game for the survivors.

    Im pretty sure its unwinnable if you get chainhunt and have hex ruin active since they cant cleanse totems during chain hunt and the chain hunt itself pushes them off gens so they degress from ruin. not sure if it regresses more then you can progress. And no matter if it doesnt, it is a big problem.

    Actually no. This was already patched out a while back by adding an additional box. So the camp in front of a box to force the head pop thing is literally impossible now as they are guaranteed to get it off on the 4th box.

    Is it annoying? Yes. However, it’s a guaranteed win for the survivors. All it does is make the gens take a bunch longer, but the killer is standing there basically afk and letting you do the gens. It’s not an issue.

    Ruin can be cleaned because survivors can body block chains for each other

    For letting survivor win? Have we got to the point of complaining of winning in this game?

    It is a good faith argument: I don't see to be a "problem" something that for doing it you basically have to drop the entire game. I understand that it can be unfun for the people suffering it, but I don't see how something so situational and casual should be addressed like it's a game breaking thing.

    Yes, they regress at 4 times slower than repairing it, so the 2 seconds of ruin you would suffer from a chain would be gone by doing the gen half a second. So no, it is not a big problem, it's not even a problem at all.

    You saw a video, so it's a problem? Not even first hand experience on the receiving end?

    The cenobite going afk and blocking the box without attempting to do anything else is griefing and against the game rules.

    This manner of playing is 100% reportable of you find someone doing this in your game.
