Why camping?

I was playing some rounds (ps4), had a few campers (even facecamper) and i'm really asking myself why some Killers are camping? These even don't get much points and probably don't Pip..so whY the [BAD WORD]?
I really dont get it.Read this thread, it explains perfectly why Killers have to camp especially at high rank. You need to Camp or at best you get a Black Pip, you'll only rank up if the RNG are on you and survivors made extremely bad move like constantly saving friends when killer was near etc
if you don't camp you will lose. because games only last 5-8 minutes, gens are too fast, and survivors having 3 lives means you MUST focused on one person or they will all get away. and you MUST TUNNEL
Face camp, however, will guarantee you will lose the game

Camping can indeed be a decent strategy yet as a high ranking killer myself, I strongly feel that camping is only a good strategy when it comes to the gates are powered or open, when three generators are close together, survivors being way too overconfident, parties in the basement, basement builds, and finally when a generator is nearly done and you hook a survivor near it. You now have objective control over both the hook and generator yet my main concern is with the blatant camping aka griefing . I've had campers camp me for no reason and many others when 5 generators are up, and I find it highly annoying that there's really not many counters to camping beside genrushing " sucks for that guy". I think that is wrong that another player has to suffer just for someone's sadistic amusement!I think it's not a bad idea to create items or more perks that can free someone being camped. What i believe should happen is that our report system needs to be reworked to deal with people who grief just to ruin your day yet here are my ideas.
Purple Bomb- I name this item purple bomb to give homage to our good old friend( I hate you) purple flashlight. The light bomb would be an ultra rare that when thrown, will blow up on impact, stunning a killer near the hook for x amount of seconds due to the immense amount of Auric light or just light produced from the blast. The draw back of this item that the killer must be near a hook and only ONE can be brought into the game. If more than one purple bomb is attempted to be brought into the game, only one person will keep their purple bomb randomly and the others will have different items they own and if they own no items, no items will be brought.
FireCrackers- They never bothered me once as a killer yet I found use as them as a survivor. I feel like firecrackers deafen mechanic can be looked at to change it to where a killer can't perform any action besides moving while deafen x amount of time depending on the firecrackers' rarity.
Adding a special toolbox or toolbox add on that allows for a survivor to be able to unhook someone by causing the hook to collapse and if the camping killer is in that radius of the collapse hook, they're stun for x amount of time.
Perk 1- The Jester's Demise- If a Killer camps you for x amount of time when the gates ARE NOT OPEN OR POWERED IN ANY AMOUNT the Entity grants you it's protection for x amount of time to you and your savior to where nothing can put you into a dying state for x amount of time. T-baging will disable the effect and borrowed time, Adrenaline, and no perks such as self care, dead hard, and much more cannot be used during The Jester's Demise and X amount of time afterwards on both players who have The jester's Demise on them. This can only be used once per Trial( game) If the killer is in a chase around the hook, the x amount of time will not be added. I put x amount of time as in how much time would be needed to active the perk.
Perk 2- Not_Dead- If a killer camps you to second stage for x amount of time, the second stage will be delayed & The Fog will swirl around you, you will have a chance to hit a skillcheck. if you hit this skillcheck, the fog will teleport you to a safe spot on the map, very far from the exit gate yet very far from killer. if the killer tries to hit the fog that shrouds you in those moments, you will be healed to a healthy state.
We could also add some items for characters for example a guitar that can only be used and found by Kate Denson Kate will be able to use guitar to quell the killer for x amount of time by playing the song that caused her to come into The Entity's world or a foul pizza. Dwight can used a foul pizza ridden with auric cells to distract the killer to devour it for x amount of time.
I love these idea's
yeah, it's from a psot I made yesterday on balance and feedback yet no one commented or saw but I think these would be great and thank you!

Camping is a valid tactic (a poor one) but a tactic all the less, ruins enjoyment of one / two survivors for the benefit of the other two. just don't be the first or second one to get caught and you'll have a blast. Do 2 and half gens each, escape and you pip. buzzin'

Okay so camping is legit. Facecamping is also legit. SWF are also legit, flashlights, bm, meta perks on survivors also legit. Killers don't cry and survivors don't cry then. I'm getting facecamped at rank 2 for having BL, BT, SC and Leader.

Plus, there's times where something has merited the killer to camp you. Other survs nearby, you've done something to annoy them so they want you out of the game, exits are open, just to name a few reasons why killers camp. Like I said in my last post in this thread, the killer is entitled to playing whatever way they feel like playing, camping or not. Same goes for survivors and looping. As cheap or unlikeable some tactics are, they're still legit (not counting exploits and hacks etc. obviously).0 -

you linked to one match in a 9+ hour stream (thanks for watching), and the match you linked had me killing all 4 and making 48.4k, while camping. you literally proved yourself wrong by linking my video. great job lol
ive been rank1 on both sides dozens of times son. the reason theres only a few days of dbd videos from me this month is because ive been busy hitting pirate legend in sea of thieves, which i accomplished easily. so ive not been too focused on dbd this month.
i also play high af which gives them a much needed advantage, and still win.

No, you probably did not understand the meaning of my sentence, as for the others above, but I do not expect you to understand since you're still responding when you miss the sense of all the answers above and continue to respond like an angry child he thinks he's right. I've simply shown that you're talking nonsense, and your game shows you where you project your frustration on other players, when you should think carefully that nobody cares anything about you, and what you think. If you were an honest player you would stop crying, pointing at random and saying "butthurt - git gud - im better of you - you not my level" etc etc.
I recommend a psychologist if you need it.

Son, you're absolutely right about one thing, but you keep forgetting the important things in a speech. I shared that link to show how frustrated you are you will have done hours on this game, but continue to behave as if you were playing yesterday. Please keep calling us butthurt, or cry more.
Wake up, you're at a low rank, and do you complain if someone shows you how you play? Ah sorry, 1756 hours, but I do 4 out of 4, of course, you can achieve these rankings, no to rank 1 listen to me.

It is clear that you have to discuss your issues outside of the game. It's not my business, you've won Make sure you do not end up banned if you continue with this behavior, both in the forum (with these spam responses) and in the game. Please do not answer, I do not care to give credit to a child rank 10 triggered. See you at stake and see what rank you will be in the future;).

They usually suck at the game. It gets worse as you rank up because you'l get people that use broken add-ons and camp on top of that. I don't get it.. well, actually I do.. they suck at the game and are using broken add-ons to make up for their skill and frustration that makes up being a high rank killer.
They're the equivalent to survivors that use DS. I don't mind camping if its strategic like when people are hook swarming like fools, or the gens are all powered, but when you do it when no gens are done and you're a P3 huntress with 1-shot hatchets.. you're just as toxic as the noob3/ochido neanderthals.
This game needs a swamp cleaning though. If people are running oOo/DS that can sometimes explain why a killer may camp too, never underestimate the lengths that some survivors will go through just to piss off the killer. It is pretty much why I stopped playing trapper/wraith/freddy.
Not all campers suck though, I dont suck and I camp but only if it's a super toxic survivor, like the kind that rats out their own teammates or tbags after every window vault and pallet drop2 -

XDDDDDDDD my achievements.....anyone like ur attitude hack this achievement, and then they come here to boast, while they use only one killer, only one surv. And continue to remain rank 10 a season almost over.
Please go back to boost your " achievements " and tell me another joke.
Oh wait, u got 48k xD as if this result gave you the right to say you're good, but at the end of the game you see how much you rekt the players, because u still not understanding how to play properly the killer.
