face camping is a huge problem on switch

face camping is the norm on switch , 90% of killers are face campers and you cant even message them after the match cause there is not chat on switch

    Don't get caught(hide better/loop better), make the killer learn by either completing gens and getting out while someone is camped or learning to group save, pip up to get to a level that they won't waste their time like that anymore. It happens on all platforms, mostly at low ranks. We have all gone through it at some point or another. It gets a lot better. Stick with it!

    No ,but really just try your best to rank up Bc it’s less face campy the higher you go.

    Don't feed campers. Thank god you can't message anyone, the toxicity coming from that isn't ging to help anyone and most certainly won't convince a player to not camp.

    Teach Killers through gameplay that camping just gives survivors free reign of the map.

    Pressure gens and don't be too altruistic.

    Sometimes someone has to be the sacrificial lamb.

    Yeah I think camping is newer players. My brother started playing (on xbox, I'm on switch, so we can't even play together) and is only a killer. I watched him and started telling him not to be a dick, because all he did was camp. Your welcome, Xbox.

    Overwhelmingly going to be baby killers on Twitch. Doesn't make it less irritating. But it will get better.

    Oh no you can't insult and berate the killer after playing the game how tragic how will you cope.

    Maybe you should be better than what you despise. I'm not saying you shouldn't keep some counter-toxicity in your back pocket, but it shouldn't be the default stance.

    The way I learned when I first picked up the game was by Rage in Chat by players warning me about camping.

    It's not just a new system, it'll have a lot of new players that never played DBD before. When you start out and only know you're supposed to kill survivors camping hard seems like the obvious thing to do, when people improve and killers realize it doesn't win them games unless the survivors let them there will be less of it.

    It's very similar on PC, low rank killers tend to camp a lot (unless they've already played a fair bit of survivor) just like low rank survivors tend to not punish it correctly (again, unless they've already played a fair bit of killer).
