Camping isn't an exploit. It's an intended mechanic that can be punished by doing gens. The devs have stated many times that camping is a viable strategy and it isn't going anywhere. Being camped sucks, but it happens and if you want to punish it, you'll give the others all the time you can, whether that be leading the killer on the best chase you can, or not giving up on the hook.

A camping killer is supposed to hand a free wins to other survivors.
But most survivors try to force it their way by refusing to simply let the guy to die. And that's what makes camping powerful.Camping is actually rather annoying, but also a necessary part of the game sadly.

I’m not doing the SWF bs, or running DS/ infinite looping but out of all those matches 4 of them the killer did not face camp. Is it really this bad? I’m not talking about gates are opened camping or the infinite loop/teabagger camping, I’m talking about first person down, camp them til they die. It’s really depressing. I know it’s a split community but neither side seems to do much to counter exploits in the game.
yes, it is indeed that bad. playing both survivor and killer enables perspective for me. i think many survivors want killers to act like that. easier to justify the ridiculous degree of harassment. i tried killer today and they were going all out. dismantling hooks before i got a survivor to them, flashlight saves, the works. too much and not my cup of tea. just makes me want to get even and i don't enjoy that. i suspect the behavior i described is why killers act like that. being on the recieving end of the camping kills my desire to play this. especially when it is game after game.0 -

the survivors are punished for the others dying and also for not interacting with the killer. not good. i.e.-one will not gain a pip if they just do gens.0 -
To answer you question, this is why : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=j9dM4oNPA18megaweenieman said:I’m a killer main playing survivor to change things up a bit.

Gen Rushing. Killers do not have time to “play nice”. Many Killers would like to play “The survivors way”. Problem is, it’s nearly always a loss doing so.0 -
Welcome to survivor. Pitch a tent you will be here a while.

If a killer camps and you just rush gens you will get black pip at best. What's worse is that some campers will use Ruin + NOED, which ensures that they catch at least 1 person and have a good chance to get a second when gates are powered (as the would the when the first guys dies and they finally leave the hook).
It's obscene how rewarding it is to camp, and disgusting that killer mains defend it. I'm rank 6 killer right now, with Huntress mostly but I played from rank 8 to 6 with Freddy tonight. I got MANY 4k's, some where I gave the last guy hatch for reasons and still double pipped. A few 3k's where the last guy took hatch legit. I had only 2 games where people escaped out the gate both were me using Devour Hope on Freddy and they got the totem before the first chase. One game 2 got out and only 1 on the other.
I'm convinced at this point that killers that camp, STRICTLY camp, as their only strategy are just completely incompetent and would be better of playing Fortnite or some bullshit where thinking is not required.

I guess that you are a decent looper since as killer main you should understand how it works. By stealing so much time, it's a better strategy to camp instead of engaging another 2-3 gen chase, this is especially true for low rank killers (your survivor is low rank I guess)
Also survivors or support this playstyle by DING so frequently, it's not even funny anymore1
