Killer mains is camping a good strategy or a bad one

It depends on the situation. There's no reason to do it at the start of the trial because there are gens that will pop if you aren't putting pressure on them. It is necessary at end game if you want to secure a kill. It's about the only option a killer has in that scenario because what else are they supposed to?

If a bad player uses it against bad players, they'll win, making it a good strategy.

If a good player uses it against bad players, they'll win, making it a good strategy.

If a bad player uses it against good players, they'll lose, making it a bad strategy.

If a good player uses it against good players, they'll lose, making it a bad strategy.

Seems like a 50/50 split to me, using a logical analysis of the basic scenario's. It really wouldn't be difficult to add in a 3rd option.

"If on the otherhand you think camping is a one way ticket to loosing, that it is a poor strategy then you are in the useless category."

Because I also believe that.

You've made 4 posts on this already and have, hopefully, gotten the point that people don't like to be forced to pick an option that doesn't accurately reflect their opinions.

Make a 3rd option next time, you'll get a better result.

Some people play to camp. Some people never camp. And then there’s the majority who say “it depends”. In other words, it’s situational. Forcing a firm commitment to “yes” or “no” doesn’t give a clear picture.

Is NOED overpowered or a wasted perk slot? Depends on if the survivors do bones or ever finish all 5 gens.

Is Calm Spirit useful or useless? Depend on if you play against Doctor or not.

Is farming a waste of time? Depends on if you need bloodpoints?

Is camping a way of winning or a way of losing? Yes. Both. Depends on whether survivors feed the camper or not. Depends on if it’s late in the match and the only way to secure a kill. Depends on if the survivors were toxic or normal. It......it depends.

The correct answer is "It depends on the survivors."

I can get a whole I-love-you squad by camping one of them. If the survivors have clue, I'll hear gens popping as I stand there and lose.

Killers are reactive, survivors decide which strategy is successful. Strategies that work are good strategies, strategies that fail are bad.

The answer is... It depends on what's going on and whom your facing's strategy.

For the good:

Camping against people who have dive bombed every single hook? Camping is a great way of punishing them.

If you have a survivor hooked in a 3 gen? Patrolling of the generators is also in camp range.

Is it end game? Then what else are you exposed to do?

For the bad:

Camping against gen rush squad(2+ toolboxes)? Camping will probably lose you the game if they are good/have even yellow toolboxes.

Camping against a stealth/blendette team? Nope they aren't going to be near you anyways so camping is pointless as they will try to sneak to the generators.

Camping the first hook? Usually not as you don't know what type of team you're facing and if its any team but hook divers/swarmers then you lose.

Sometimes it's necessary, sometimes it's not. Do you have a survivor hooked right next to a high priority gen or partially opened exit gate? Are the other survivors all rushing to the hook only seconds after the initial hook to save right in your face? I'd say camping is a good idea then. Otherwise eh.

Camping can be frustrating to deal with, but I'd be lying if I didn't say it was necessary sometimes. That said, it truly does depend on the match and the state of it, I know people like to preach camping is bad and all, but sometimes walking away from the hook is the absolute dumbest thing you can do.

Same goes for tunneling and such as well (E.G teammate hooksaves a survivor and hides leaving their teammate as the only thing the killer can see at that time to maintain pressure.). If survivors are playing dumb or you see something you can exploit, it's smart to take advantage of that as long as you aren't doing it at all times and ruining the fun just to win.

Make smart decisions, not fair decisions if you want to win. You can do both, but you will have those scenarios where you have a choice and it really just depends on what you the killer want and the state of the match.

I think we can all agree. That if you tunnel, camp, or face camp, you are bad at the game and the worst person ever. Having to camp or tunnel to win the game is embarassing. You have no friends and deserve to loose every game. Especially if you are playing an overpowered or very strong killer and/or along with overpowered or very strong perks.

I'd specify. Facecamping is very unfun for both parties involved, but proxy camping can be advantageous in certain scenarios but also very risky. I know you said the answer must be black or white but really there's way more nuance to it then you're giving it credit for.

You seem fun. This isn't a right or wrong issue. There are variables to consider based on how the survivors are playing. I'm assuming you prefer to play Survivor, which is fine.

Your poll is biased and you're trying to force a binary answer to a multifaceted question.

If you are good at camping, that means you can also end chases fast and defend the hook..then camping is almost always 3-4k even in red ranks.
