Hey devs I seriously think you should take the time to read this as I believe this one change will make dead by daylight a way more fun and enjoyable game for many people. The solution to camping is actually surprisingly simple. When the executioner sits in front of a cage for too long the cage is immediately sent to the furthest possible spawn on the map. If we did this for camping hooks too it would completely fix camping without having to change any killer’s powers in the process. If the killer stays to close to the hook for to long the entity will take the survivor and move them to the furthest possible hook from the killer’s location. To make it fair for killers however once all generators are powered you are once again allowed to stay near the hooked survivor which gives the killer a fighting chance without being able to to camp someone instantly at the start of the match. Please really consider this idea because it would bring many people back to the game and would seriously benefit the game.

    This has been mentioned a hundred times and it's been shot down a hundred times.

    Sometimes there's legitimate reasons to camp someone. If the entire team is there trying to rescue the survivor before you even get the chance to leave, why should you be punished for it?

    Camping isn't a problem. If someone camps someone to death then all the gens get done. Is it fair and fun for the the other player? Obviously not but trust me, the killer isn't having a great time either just sitting there. Which is why it doesn't really happen THAT much. Especially with reassurance now, survivors can literally do every gen and the person that is being camped could just barely be making it to struggle phase.

    Camping at certain times or near a 99ed gen or something is an important and viable strategy, It punishes survivors for their positioning. Its all about how the teammates react that make it useful or not. I feel your pain though, face camping can be pretty lame.

    PH still can camp his cages because his M2 is a lunge attack. You just have to know the distance.
