This question is for killers

Slugging is absolutely more fun then using hooks. I don't use gen perks and entirely rely on altruism to divert survivors away from gens. If anyone bleeds out it is due to poor team altruism or being downed from far to many mistakes. I usually avoid a full team slug unless they leave a solo to die.

Overall everyone gets more chases and chances to learn from mistakes.

Face camping: no, it's boring as hell. I only do it if there is no other way from preventing a escape, like when coordinated survivors are swarming a hook and I know it's impossible (or nearly) to catch up before they reach the exit gates.

Proxy camping: not very fun. Sometimes needed and sometimes it's simply the only reasonable thing to do (like when you know the only place the last standing survivor should be going is that survivor you have hooked).

Tunneling: not really, but I don't really care when I "tunnel" someone by accident. If I just happened to find them when I was looking for someone else, I'm not going to hold back and let them go for free. Tunneling for real, on the other hand, sometimes makes a victory feel way too cheap and unsatisfying is you succeed at it too early. I usually only do it from the start when I notice I am against skilled survivors who brought a map offering. Might not be the most fun thing, but will help me not to have an unfun or stressful game later (also, if they brought a map offering, they are trying to win as hard as me or even more, so no reason to complain).

Slugging: Hell YEAH! Absolutely YES! Slugging is a risky tactic that is quite satisfying when it pays off: I save time I would have lost carrying the survivor to a hook, so I interrupt a gen in time. Or I just use that time chasing a survivor who was near the first and apply pressure. That gives other survivors a chance to rescue the downed person before I come back and they get a hook state but might also give me a lot of pressure. It would be boring as hell if you were always forced to immediatly hook survivors every time you down them regardless of context. You have to make a decision, and that is good. Additionally, sometimes I slug when I already started the game really well, and don't want to kill a survivor too soon so I can have a fun game instead. Much better than tunneling a survivor out because I keep finding them again and again.

On the other hand, I don't like just bleeding a survivor to death. That is slow, boring and... unnecessary, really.

By the way, I just had a Sadako game were I avoided camping and slugging the whole game. There were 3 alive when I downed one and deduced they should be close to finishing the last gen. I teleported there, downed the injured one, but the other one finished the gen in my face and triggered adrenaline on the one I had just downed. This started a back and forth where I would slug the ones I downed to prevent others from reaching the exit gates, and the last person standing would heal another and make sure there were always too survivors standing, until I got the condemns and started killing them without spending too much time. In the end it was a really close game were the last survivor got killed at the exit gate entrance right after opening it. The person even said "gg wp" as it was a fun game for them too.

Although I don't use this "playstyle" (as well as camping), I can surmise why it's "fun" for someone. It comes only to two ways.

1) hurt/annoy/troll someone. I haven't saved the links, but in general it's "show 'em pesky survivors", "if I don't have fun, no one will", one kid in the post confessed that when he has bad day at school, he picks insidious Bubba. So the gist is: weak miserable personality.

2) Very scared to lose even once and clinging at least to a single kill. Problem with killers is that it's really a walk in a park on low MMR to mid-uppermid SoloQ. After that, when you get more hardcore survivors, you have nothing to oppose them skill-wise, but ego forbids losing, there go the cheapest skilless tactic. The gist is: weak miserable personality.

So we see in reality it's only weak miserable personality.

Did you notice, that if you face camper/tunneler, 80% there will be hook slaps, bleedout and/or BM in endgame chat? It's just as a common rule. If team somehow counters scum tactic (break the camping or god-looper got tunneled), there will be either DC or so much trashtalk that your eyes will burn.

By the way, I lied, I facecamp sometimes when doors are opened, also find it is very OK when killers do, because they literally have nothing else to do, plus this endgame-collapse fight is always fun and could shift the scale to complete victory or complete defeat. EGC is my favorite part of the game on both sides.

Face camping in the early game is about the easiest way for a killer to throw. So many perks can deter this and make the tactic honestly detrimental to your game right off the get. But is it fun? With Mikey and Ghost face, kind of. They are goofy and look so adorable standing there looking up at you on the hook. Fills my heart with joy every time. Otherwise, not really. Its bad early and boring any time.

Tunneling is effective against weak players on most killers. If you have fun winning, you probably have fun tunneling. If I cared about the W every game, I'd target the weakest player and drain them dry. I'd probably be having plenty of fun still but maybe not the other guy.

Slugging is 100% a necessary tactic sometimes to have a chance to create some pressure, especially while playing particularly slow moving killers or guys with those sexy one hit downs. If the question is, is it fun to slug? Then I would say, sure, about as fun as hooking someone. A down is a down, not hooking is a choice. If you slug or bleed someone out to annoy them then yeah, bm and boring. If you do it because its a viable and fair tactic, then groovy. Lots of perks counter it if you don't like worming around.
