Idea for stopping face camping killers?

It's never any fun when a killer gets lucky and puts you on a hook then face camps you, not moving .. just staring. Even when other survivors are baiting, taunting or trying to get the person off the hook. It's not skill, it's just annoying. 

I suggest adding in a no camp rule, which will stop the hook entity/ timer from proceeding if the killer is within a certain radius? Or if not making it a rule making it a perk ? 

Whats all your opinions on this ?

    The kindred thingy will be a nerf enough

    It doesn't stop camping tho, it just tells other survivors that he's watching you die and there is no point in trying to unhook ? Or am I missing something ? Still fairly new to dbd

    Bad idea if a hook is close to a gen a survivor could safely pump out a gen close by. As the killer would have to respond by entering your no camp radius.

    Why is it always a beat with stick approach when it come to fixing camping? Reward the killer for spreading damage out perks like devour hope are great for this. Make it so being hooked afflicts survivors with reduced gen progression. If you keep nerfing killers you will make them just want to camp more and circumvent your ideas.

    The last time an anti camping idea was put in place was to reduce gen times for survivors guess what that screwed over your average hunting killer and now top tier killers with low mobility now have to adopt a patrol playstyle to maintain enough hook pressure to slow the game down. which isn't fun for survivor or killer. Reward the killer for not camping the survivor. Survivor is already a ridiculously powerful role.

    Face camping does not exist any more since the "swivel hooks" update.

    Your suggestion was already tried and failed because the Survivors abused it. Try making a suggestion that rewards not camping instead of a suggestion that punishes camping and you might approach something that hasn't been tried yet. Stop trying to punish people because they don't play how you want them to play.

    It's called hard camping now

    It was always called hard camping. Face camping was an exploit that was removed. People who have not played from the start are trying to claim there was a vocabulary shift, but there wasn't.

    Facecamping has been removed from the game when devs added the possibility to unhook frmo all angles.

    Or are you talkign about usual camping? Thats part of the game. "no camp rules" have been tested before, but survivors always abused those so it never became reality

    It has been tried, abused and dropped.

    "when the killer gets lucky and puts you on a hook"

    Yeah sure, okay. Let's call that luck.

    As for your idea, it's totally abusable. Besides, camping already has a counter. It's called doing gens and escaping. The killer will depip and look bad.
