Can we get Face camping back?
Since survivor mains still complain about being face camped.
It seems the removal of face camping back in October hasn´t done much in the eyes of survivors. So why not bring it back?
Or can we get at least a Educational video, where you show what the differences in camping are. Because people still use expressions like "long distance face camper" for killers which dare to look into the direction of the hook from a distance of 40+ meters.

Only thing I want is for Survivors to not be able to body block the hook prompt. If it’s “an exploit” of a game mechanic for Killers, it’s the same for Survivors.Give Killers the swivel hooks6

Or why a 50kg Claudette can body block a 150kg Trapper. He would kick her IRL and she wouldn´t be able to recover for the next 30 seconds.9 -
I would love to get face camping back as an intended mechanic instead of an exploit.

I guess threat of death and adrenaline give you some super strength.

Camping: killer achieved his goal by successfully chasing, downing and hooking a survivor.
Looping: survivor wastes time by abusing the differences in the colision boxes of killers and survivors.0 -

Want camping gone?
Here is the solution.
First hook you die. No added time. No more nine lives. If you get slapped on the hook you die. Instantly.
Willing to accept that? I doubt it.

Only if we can use machetes to kill the killer too.Oh and have voice chat in game. And maybe rename the game to something more catchy. Something that begins with Friday...3 -

the rest of the team can do generators meanwhile cant they

That is the best way to punish those pathetic face campers. Everyone else escapes, and ends up with a higher score than the killer, too. Worth being face camped to death for that.

Face camping was standing in front of the hooked survivor. Preventing the "press m1 to unhook" promt from appearing. This has been removed with the introduction of swivel hooks.
It was removed long after the release of the Doctor and shortly after Leatherface was introduced.What you mean is called HARD camping.

I call it patrolling. I have no desire to chase you another potential two times so i make sure you die the first time you are on the hook. Rarely did i end up with less than two kills. Camping pays. It does. One is ALWAYS close by meaning only two are on gens. Most of the games i camped i got 2-3 kills.

When killer blocks, he is using an exploit, he is a noob, his mother a #########, and he should kill himself.
When survivors are blocking, they are intelligent, using smart tactic and, ekhem, "doing what they can do to survive".

Whatever you do, you'll always be a "camper" for most survivors since you're still on the map by the time they escape anyway.
It's a pretty common thing to say, but whatever you do and they do, even if all of them show up around the hook, they'll still expect you to run away from it brainlessly like if you were an AI.That being said, there's quite a few "free camping" going on nowadays, even if it's not justified, which is pretty boring. Atm you'd better not being caught first in the current meta lol.

This game's balance is not built to handle the looping exploit or voice chat.
Stop pretending exploiting bugs and abusing SWF is skill.
You are the least skilled survivor on these forums. Without your SWF and pallet infinites, you wouldn't last 30 seconds in a chase against a competent killer.
i don’t play SWF, your just salty because you can’t beat SWF groups. Stop pretending SWF playing as a team is some how an exploit.
You’ve got a foot up your ass about SWF and your vendetta is getting boring, you assume everyone who disagrees with you is a survivor who plays SWF.
is it because you have no F to S with is that it??
Ive also noticed that most of the crying and whining comes from the people who have Leatherface avatars..... illuminati confirmation.2 -

I agree it is heartbreaking. If they would add swivel hooking mechanism I think it would help avoid the hooking vacuum that you reference.There goes my dream of Boil Over ever being useful. /s
Dunno why there isn't a hook swivel as it is. Though I don't think killers have any issue finding hooks anyway, barring DS.

Face camping wasn't removed. There's nothing stopping you from face camping, you can still just stand there and be trash and toxic. Just because the survivor can rescue from the side if the hook doesn't mean face camping is removed. Leatherfaces chainsaw has an AoE effect that allows you to hit the rescuer, and the rescuer.

Though as per usual, Survivors want it to be double. Killers should always be nerfed double the amount as Survivors. You know, because reasons.
Besides Wiggling wasn’t intended for you to escape the Killers grasp as often as you seem to think. All wiggling was introduced for was to prevent a Killer from basically carrying someone around all match. More or less “taking them out of the game”. That or carrying them around with Agitation.3 -

To be fair, they took away pallet vacuums but didn't take away hook vacuums.
It's a teeny little bit bullshit to see the killers do the electric slide and whisk you onto the hook while you sit at 100% wiggle meter.
They took away pick up vacuum. Survivors lost Pallet Vacuum, Killers lost pick up Vacuum. 1:1, Survivors lost something, so did Killers.

I find struggling has gotten worse since 2.0 hit not sure why and I do know more killers re running iron grasp and enduring since 2.0 as well. The dribbling when you're not using ds is kinda annoying and how you can be at 100% but not wiggle free since hooks have an aoe radius so to speak now. With the non hook swivel the killer had to be in front but now if they're within x distance of the hook you're wiggle meter is cancelled.
It's working similar to how basement hooks work, you can be near the front hook but go for the back hook and never lose the survivor.

Only newbies call every form of camping face camping because they don't know what it means. They are the same newbies that will report you for hacking because they refuse to believe that they are bad at the game. Only time they get beat is when the opposition are cheating. #strokethatego
