Worried About The Anti Face-Camping Mechanic

It's meant to target face camping where the killer parks right next to the hook for no other reason than to force the survivor to die on hook. The killer isn't going to be prevented from defending a hook when other survivors attempt to go for the unhook nor is the killer prevent from patrolling around the hook either.

It's possible the values are overtuned and hurt more than what the system is intended to counter, but I don't see it as unfair that the system doesn't turn off before 0 gens remaining.

Unless they tinker with Bubbs chainsaw where you can't fully use it this change does nothing against him, he can just power through it and double hit you when you are unhoking yourself

tldr 'devs, I want to be able to camp before end-game. how dare you'

I've got another question, if the killer is camping you and you have deliverance, what takes priority?

for example you want to use deliverance at the last second to waste killers time as much as possible before hitting second stage and you can also unhook yourself because the unhook meter is full.

would I be broken or the anticamp self unhook took priority?

Since when is slugging a problem for Killers?

And only because you throw in some buzzwords like "SWF" does not mean that this will be true. It is clearly stated that if Survivors are near the Hook that the meter will be slower or not progress at all.

If anything, I expect this mechanic to be too mild to actually matter. Because proxycamping will most likely still be possible nad if we are honest, blatant face-camping is not that common. Proxy-camping on the other hand is.

(And even if the Survivor comes off the hook on their own, this does not really mean that they can actually get away. Especially the strong Killers can easily catch up. It only provides a chance. Nothing more.)

I didn't say slugging was a problem for killers, but I bet you can guess whose it is a problem for though. You have perks already available that provide that "chance" . Like I said I'll judge it when it comes out on the ptb. I'm man enough to say I'm wrong if it comes down to it, I don't think I am but we'll see. Swf isn't a buzzword swf is to survs what nurse and blight are to killers, meaning they both ignore most mechanics implemented in game.

Bro I think you missed my point, I was responding to a previous guy. As of right this moment I am not for basekit deli or anything of sort as it clearly drives pressure down for the killer, at all stages not just the beginning. Could you imagine basekit corrupt for killers to combat early "gen rushing"

You made it sound as if the Killer would have a problem with slugging Survivors. Because if this would be the case I get very unusual Killers.

And well, Survivors dont like slugging. But Survivors who say they dont like slugging are usually those who dont sabo every Hook nearby. Those are different people. I highly doubt that a Squad who sabotages every Hook would complain about being slugged. And even if they would do, would be new to me that Killers care about complaints.

Well bro they do complain about slugging had a crew the other night sabo squad with one running ftp buckle, the others running boil, Sab, flip flop, one boon expo, others had breakdown and tenacity. Of course they brought Erie ran to the top sabo that hook, then was absolutely unglued that I bled them out. Just because most dont do something doesn't negate the problem, i never experienced the flashlight exploit but yet it was a major issue for others. I was simply stating a hypothetical situation that could happen, I mean at this point all we have are hypotheticals because nothing exist to test, which is why I stated that I would wait to make my decision on it.

This has nothing to do with balance. This has to do with fun. I don’t wanna have to run the same perks every match to counter an unfun strategy. Running the same perks all the time is not fun and you cannot argue against that.

This is my stance too. If a mechanic like this affects kill rates then healthier buffs can take place, which is a positive for everyone. I don't anticipate much change in my games as I don't see much facecamping in my MMR bracket (I think it's mostly low MMR) and I certainly don't facecamp, but if a killer is lacking in some way then I'd rather they get individual buffs than having to feel like they need to fall back on facecamping.

Yeah about that. While basekit BT is good, it certainly has its downsides for non tunneling killers that get body blocked.

PTB is about to go live. Lets see how the new mechanic performs.

as a solo q sufferer, how am I supposed to know what perks my other 3 teammates are bringing? should I waste deliverance just to end up being downed first and face camped immediately? Or reassurance? Reassurance doesn't do anything if the killer is set on face camping you no matter how long it takes, some killers will throw the entire game to kill one person...

this mechanic is punishing the most severe cases of face camping, it's not the end of the world if you still desire to proxy the survivor cause you can't be bothered to pressure any other part of the map....face camping is a terrible strat, you're stuck in a feedback loop of getting kills regularly due to this play style and not due to any skill and thus stunting your own growth in the game..
