Why would there be? The devs had made it clear that survivor fun is more important than killer fun.
Is there a Face camping nerf ?
Why on Earth would they do that? Being in a chase is fun and being facecamped isn't. Besides, if you're genuinely being run for five gens, you should probably have dropped that chase way sooner.
If facecamping gets nerfed, perhaps they will also work on giving killers just a bit more time to deal with survivors, though the varying level of power that killers have will already make such a universal buff to killers hard to do right.
A camping nerf on the other side is only a nerf to a certain strategy, killers can play diferently to still do well. However, there are situations where camping, or rather proxy camping, is the best play of a killer, and if they end up nerfing that as well for killer, that would nerf killers in general, which could definitely be a problem. Killer can already feel pretty stressful.
I have to say though, if a killer gets run for all 5 gens, then that's not the game's fault one bit. That just means the killer was far less skilled than the survivor they were chasing.
Problem is when you have SWF, where all know what is strongest loop and will go there each time. (Haddonfield -> Myer's house).
Then you can either always give up and let them recover or commit for one chase, then get him into basement and camp the hell out of him.
Sure, but that's a problem with those areas, not with the concept of being in a chase. Even in those situations, the call is either to see if you can mindgame, or drop the chase, there's nothing that needs to be changed about the concept of being in a chase for that to be addressed.
I don't know how they want to fix face-camping, but proxy camp and face-camp endgame should not be changed.
Only problem is face-camp on 5 gens with some killers.
If you are being run for 5 gens then one, you are bad at killing, or two, you are making the wrong decisions. If somebody is good at looping then leave them and head for gens.
Proxy camping is fine on above ground hooks and does not need to change. It is down to the survivors to lure you away for the save, if you decided to facecamp above a above ground hook, then their is a chance that you only hook one survivor (unless you are Bubba). If you proxy camp the basement hooks then you will probably be called all the names on chat, and to be honest I agree. With four hooks in basement then it is easy to get more kills, this is what needs to be changed.
The game has faults, but it is the mentality of the killer and survivors that need to change to make this game better. Forget face-camping, learn to chase and find survivors on gens, all the tools for you to do it comes with every killer. You can see gens, you can see scratch marks and you can move faster. Facecamping is like being a sniper with aimbot, yes it makes it easy, but their is no skill and no real reward at the end.
