While I am not adverse to camping killers being punished in some way, the biggest thing that needs to change is the mindset of some survivors. If the killer is face-camping, don't reward them by trying to go for rescues you will never get. Do the gens, and make them pay. Nothing more frustrating, as a survivor, than to see your teammates just throwing themselves at a hook that is being camped. At best, the person on the hook dies and no gens got done, so the killer gets to do it all again on another survivor, and you have even fewer people to work on gens. At worst, there ends up being a pile of bodies lying under the hook, and the killer gets an easy 4k. Survivors that keep going for futile rescue attempts, rather than doing gens, are responsible for making it a viable strategy for lazy killers.
So by the first and second sentences.... being punished for camping is to do gens asap to give him a reason to leave. So there really is no need to make a punishment for camping when a whole entire killer was dedicated to the playstyle.
True. But I have to acknowledge that new players aren't going to know this, and will become discouraged, and that it is not fun for the person being camped. Plus, some survivors just can't wrap their head around the concept, and so the killer is not consistently punished.
Well that's the thing... new players are supposed to learn from their mistakes? Lets not punish the killer for taking advantage of players that have less knowledge than them
But that's not a mistake they can learn from. It is really something you need to be told. It's not like the tutorial covers it They will just play, have a bad time then, eventually, quit. Games are supposed to be fun. Also, it requires all 4 players to commit to it, every single game, and that just doesn't happen. Frankly, i see it as a scummy way to play. They are deliberately ruining a match for the player on the hook. On top of that it leads to more players suiciding or DC'ing on the hook, and making the game harder for the remaining 3. I see no problem with the game de-incentivizing face-camping. Enough to make it a bad primary strategy, but not enough that it overly hurts situational, tactical camping.
Tbh if you don't have the common sense to do gens when you see a face camping killer then idk what to tell you. Also pvp game are games you usually earn your fun, not just a "play to have fun" type of game. Now if its a story mode game like GoW you will have fun if you like story/adventure games.
No, PVP games are not where you have to "earn your fun". In most pvp games both/all sides are balanced, and are fun from the start, and there are clear routes for improvement. You earn how well you do, but the fun is always there. Face-camping is more like spawn camping, which most good games remove as an option. The person on the hook has no way to earn their fun. The face-camper takes away their potential fun, just like spawn campers. They put themselves in a position to ruin someone else's game. Even if the other 3 people do gens, that person has a bad time.
Which competitive games do not have spawn camping?
Idk about you but I find fun when I actually have a challenge from the enemy team. When's the last time you played an fps and wondered "will the enemy team play how I want so I can have fun" Exactly never that's the definition of earning your fun. I have never met a single person who plays a pvp game and just has fun for just playing it. And I'm gonna come with a classic survivor main response of "if you're not having fun just get better and don't go down" Like tell me how much more fun is it to hold m1 on gens than sitting on hook? See not much more fun. Also before you say something about ruining someone else's game take into consideration that this game costs money, they can play how they want.
