It's so fun being camped

I dont know how many times the community has to say it, CAMPING AND TUNNELING IS NOT A STRATEGY, ITS TOXIC.

    Its 5 games in a row the killer gets a 4k due to the incompetence of RED rank survivors and killers camping and tunneling

    Yes I understand that, but I play xbox, at rank 1 the survivor are the same as rank 20 on pc, so I can never rely on my survivors to be smart, which leads to constantly dropping because of camping and the even more and uncounterable tunneling

    I feel like I'm the only xbox player on the fourms, because I seem to be the only one who gets potato survivors at rank 1 every game and camping/tunneling killers 90% of games

    It is not fun for the survivor*

    It is toxic for survivors*

    It is a legitimate strategy for killers.

    Is it a poor strategy? Definitely, but it doesn’t make it unviable. Blame your teammates if you lose the match, not the killer. They don’t have to immediately rescue you.

    A killer has every right to camp a survivor they have downed. They also have every right to tunnel someone if they so choose, especially if the survivor looped them around the whole map or has a key. Until the devs come out with a rule book saying otherwise, there’s no point in complaining.

    Practice looping or outright evading the killer. So many people think it’s ok to run around everywhere and leave scratch marks and not run Spinechill and yet complain about the killer taking advantage of their poor choices.

    Stop playing the game if you don't like getting hooked. It's that simple.

    it's very satisfying when you win against a killer playing like this bet it pisses them off

    Ok killer main on pc, play survivor on xbox once then try talking

    Sorry you are having a rough go.

    Realistically killers are allowed to camp and tunnel. Heck, there are perks that encourage it. Yes it feel bad, it sucks, but its not toxic.

    What is annoying is teammates not capitalizing on the killer wasting their time... or worse yet, farming you off the hook without BT. That is what bothers me.

    A camping killer should be defeated easy... but when my teammates throw their bodies at him that is when I get irritated.

    I am on xbox... So I can say whatever I want.

    Like I said to everyone who says what you do, play on xbox for 1 game at high rank and then tell me it's not toxic, there's only a handful of players on xbox with skill so 90% of the games are just throw games because you get camped tunneled and farmed, let alone rank 20s somehow getting up the ranks

  • thatcarbonfox
    thatcarbonfox Member Posts: 89

    Then stop playing killer and play survivor, if you have the skill to actually get to red you'll see what I mean

  • AvisDeene

    I’m not a killer main, I play both sides, and my play style of choice is a scaredy-cat Blendette who hides from and avoids the killer as much as possible. I’m actually a terrible killer, who is easily looped or mind gamed by survivors.

    I’m not going to come to the forums to complain about survivors playing how they want. They want to be daring and loop me, that’s fine. Do they want to be one with the bush? That’s fine too. Killers hate it when they can’t find the survivors, but I don’t see many threads of them complaining about it, nor will I complain about it. It’s a players choice of how they play the game. As long as it doesn’t break the games, it’s not wrong unless devs state otherwise.

    I get camped plenty enough, but I don’t let it bother me since it’s in almost every pvp game.

    Also, I love getting camped by Ghostface as long as he twerks for me. Or Daddy Michael wearing his hospital gown.

    It actually is really fun. The only dopamine dose I get daily comes from being camped.

  • The_Meh_Teh
    The_Meh_Teh Member Posts: 136

    I play both survivor and killer. You get beat, it's part of the game. Stop crying about it and stop telling others how they should play.

  • NoShinyPony
    NoShinyPony Member Posts: 4,570

    Sounds to me like the real problem is how your random teammates react. All I can say is: Play with a full SWF group when solo surv is too frustrating. (I know how frustrating it can be. I play solo or only as a 2-men-SWF most of the time.)

  • thatcarbonfox
    thatcarbonfox Member Posts: 89

    The thing is, survivor dont control the game, killers do, I play both side, but I play survivor more because killer is too easy, its basically a 4k every game because they literally control the lobby

  • lasombra1979

    I play on PS4 as a solo survivor and yes, its just as bad there.

    That said, when survivors rewards camping and tunneling for the killer, why would he or she not do it. You cannot get upset at the killer when survivors actively go out of their way to farm right in front of them.

    I played a game as Bubba, no add ons, no perks (bored and wanted a challenge). I got a 4K because all the survivors swarmed right after I hooked and I was able to chainsaw all of them at once. How is that my fault. I was not truly camping, I literally just finished a hook and there they were. Am I supposed to just run away?

    When survivors stop rewarding camping (tunneling is a much different topic and one that is grossly misidentified), you will see camping lower. As long as it still works for a killer, they will keep doing it.

    I don't like getting camped or tunneled any more than the next person, but just because it's not fun for the other side doesn't make it any less of a legitimate strategy.

  • The_Meh_Teh
    The_Meh_Teh Member Posts: 136

    Both sides do it. The rounds are like 10 minutes long. If you're getting your ass kicked, suck it up and cross your fingers for the next one. Jeez louise

  • AvisDeene
    AvisDeene Member Posts: 2,396

    Youre completely wrong. Survivors can control the game as much as the killer does. Some do it better than others. A well coordinated team with the right perks can destroy almost any killer.

  • thatcarbonfox
    thatcarbonfox Member Posts: 89

    8 in a row now where the killer camps a 4k because xbox, dont even talk to me about crossing my fingers for the next one because you dont play survivor

  • thatcarbonfox
    thatcarbonfox Member Posts: 89

    Key phrase "well coordinated" i.e. not xbox survivors

  • T2K

    Why not playing swf if you only get bad survivors and killer feels too easy for you?

  • AvisDeene
    AvisDeene Member Posts: 2,396

    That’s not the killers fault. You should be complaining about potato survivors. You also have the option to make friends with the other survivors and get better together. It should be easy to do on Xbox and the voice connection it can provide.

  • thatcarbonfox

    No friends are on, all my friends play at night, I'm trying to get some games in before I go to work, but I always forget xbox is a cesspool of trash

  • thatcarbonfox
    thatcarbonfox Member Posts: 89

    I've made friends with 90% of the good players on xbox, which is like 5 people total

  • AvisDeene
    AvisDeene Member Posts: 2,396

    LOL,

    If it helps, most of my teammates on PC are potatoes too. I’m probably their king. Just this morning I was sneaking around at the beginning of the match and just walked right into Trapper. I was like, Sh*t! I just had to potato up the start of the match and resigned myself to the hook so I walked over to the hook to save Trapper the trouble.

    He took pity on me, picked me up and stepped into a trap so I could get away. He even motioned for me to do a gen.

    Not all killers are nice, not all are mean, and not all are tryhards. We need the mix of play styles (even campers) that we have in this game because if everyone played the same, it would get boring quick.

  • The_Meh_Teh
    The_Meh_Teh Member Posts: 136

    I already stated that I DO play survivor. And BTW, if either killer or survivor camps they are more likely to lose the game. That is valuable time wasted. You can't hate on strategy though. It's just for fun, so don't be a poor sport.

    I play on console (ps4) and what I see there is a lot of frustrating play from both killers and survivors between yellow and green ranks, but honestly as soon as you get into purples, you start to encounter more and more killers who want to play the game and actually try to win. At Red ranks I get camped every 1 in 10-15 games at worst. I don't know why people keep bashing console killers so much.. It's really not as bad as it's often made out to be.

    It's literally part of the game right now.

    There are times when you can camp or tunnel and it makes you more effective, especially against overly altruistic survivors.

    That being said I am 100% okay with both being made impossible somehow, but other changes have to be made so killer performance is not affected.

  • The_Meh_Teh
    The_Meh_Teh Member Posts: 136

    I'm on xbox, I'll be your friend! lol. Plus I actually like to play the game. I'm not in it for ranks or bloodpoints or whatever people do these days. I also, don't whine, cry or disconnect from matches.

  • FancyMrB
    FancyMrB Member Posts: 1,250

    Well I am rank 3 survivor on PS4...and I am telling you, it is not toxic.

    Ranking as survivor is easy. I am not very good at the game (I just play for fun) and I somehow reach red ranks all the time.

    Maybe the rank system needs to be looked at so potato survivors don't make it to the high ranks. That would stop them from having to farm you all the time.

    Unless the killer has noed. Then rushing gens backfires. This game is so pepega lol

    Crappy morning full of trash players, crappy day at work, and crappy games after, total of 15 camping tunneling trash players in a row throughout the day, GAME IS TOTALLY BALANCED AND CAMPING/TUNNELING IS TOTALLY NOT TOXIC

  • thatcarbonfox
    thatcarbonfox Member Posts: 89

    I'm sick and tired of only being able to play swf because every other player on xbox are so stupid might as well dc, and then when I do swf they just bring a mori or just dodge, yup game fair and balanced

  • mmain
    mmain Member Posts: 430

    This! This! This! This!

    If the other survivors will just do gens while I am being camped I will ensure I struggle until the last possible second so they get as much time as possible to punish the killer for camping.

    At the same time if other survivors are going to run up and reward the camping behavior you can rest assured of one thing. When I get hooked the second time and you attempt to run up and "rescue" me while the killer is standing right there I will stop struggling at precisely the moment you will just miss being able to get me and put you in the crosshairs of the killer.

    Ask yourself why killers camp and tunnel. With constant nerfs and being forced to play SWF without a choice; killers are fed up with being mocked and bullied. Sad but true.

  • Clevite
    Clevite Member Posts: 4,335

    It is a strategy...just very unfun to play against.

    Unfortunately so often camping gets rewarded with shti saves.

    Tunneling the farmed survivor is worse to me..at least let me play a little. Which is another reason for the looping meta. Can't complain about looping if you're a tunneling killer.

    Plus you will never get better at killer if these are your go to strategies.

  • Clevite
    Clevite Member Posts: 4,335

    Most of friends I've actually met playing killer. I play fair and compliment good game play and end up making survivor friends.

    Unfortunately their ranks are much higher than my survivor rank and the killers see I'm the weakest looper and tunnel me.

  • The_Meh_Teh

    thatcarbonfox "I'm a thousand times better than a camping killer like you"

    I don't camp, I just kill.

    So you don't want to be my friend?

    When I play survivor, I don't mind leaving a trail. If the killer follows me, they aren't following others. If they camp me, I'll happily accept someone pulling me off the hook, then try leading the killer away.

    When I play killer, I don't camp. I trap what I know people will go for and wait.

    BTW, I only started playing a week ago on PS4, and I learn quick.
