Anti-camp mechanic will increase slugging
As per the title.
The anti-camp mechanic isn't a bad idea, it's probably needed now more than ever, but if a killer is having a bad game (gens going to fast, good runners, etc) what's the point in even taking the survivor to a hook to secure a kill?
Surely it would make more sense to slug one and bait the other team-mates to come in for the save and maybe down them too?
I feel like this is gonna create more chaos than we have now

Doing gens while the killer camps is just too hard to comprehend these days I guess

This is a concern I have, but not so much because of BHVR doing a good thing, moreover that some players who only face-camp will do this out of spite.
What may happen as a result is - if this becomes the norm (which I hope it doesn't) - BHVR will see this and Unbreakable basekit will come in. People need to be a bit more responsible fpr their own actions.

Less camping = More tunneling.
Less tunneling = More Camping.
Less tunneling + less camping = More slugging.
This is how it works. They tackle one issue and create another because instead of treating a problem right at the root they treat symptoms. Their intentions are good but we'll see how well this actually works.

Don’t group up + one or two people bring in an anti-slug perk = problem solved.
Slugging on its own isn’t an issue. 4 survivors being bled out on the ground for 4 minutes is and should be fixed by either giving a faster bleed out option, concede option or automatic sacrifice by the entity after a set amount of time.

Literally every solo match I've played when the killer even remotely spent more then a few seconds camping more then one survivor stopped going gens...waited till the survivor hit 2nd stage...waited till they were almost dead then choose to try to trade. It's mind boggling how people refuse to just do the gens and let them either die or save once 3 gens pop. They always wait till second or death to be more aggressive. The problem with the game is most.of the survivors are not good. You can't balance the game around bad survivors.

Killers who rely on facecamping can't chase worth anything anyway so I am completely fine with them attempting to tunnel more.

Good thing BHVR has been working on basekit Unbreakable/finisher mori after PTB test feedback so they have a solution if slugging increases to much.

Isn't what the Finishing Mori update is for?

That is completely beside the point and a presumption that shows you don't have a lot of experience as a killer. As killer and survivor, if you want to win, you'll have to use everything at your disposal or accept that your oponent will stomp you.
Often times survivors will open up an opportunity for you as a killer to camp. For example by not coming until there's only 10 seconds left of that hook stage, running around the killer next to the hook, giving the killer a good 3 gen, which they can defend while camping, going down next to basement etc. These are all things that a killer will use to gain the upper hand. Face camping often is a way of punishing survivors for mistakes.
I could be the most insane Doctor player ever and still I would camp given the opportunity because it simply is the right play in certain situations.

The anti camp mechanic is a much needed change to a long standing problem in the game. If it increases slugging, then we'll need a similar mechanic that punishes the killer for excessive and unnecessary slugging. There is no reason to leave a survivor on the ground for longer than a minute. Whatever they can do to discourage camping, tunneling and slugging I am all for.

It's so crazy that survivors expect killers to have bot tier behavior.
* Brainlessly chase survivor a until down
* Always hook on down no matter what
* Brainlessly chase survivor B, if running into survivor A ignore no matter what
* Rinse and reapeat for survivor C and D
* First death can only occur on hook # 9
* End the game happy you got 3-5 hooks and some blood points!

You know all that means is base-kit unbreakable. I personally can't wait to see the singularity get looped into oblivion xD
