Stop Killers Camping...... just a thought....

It's very frustraiting when you or a party member gets hooked and the killer stands there waiting for you to die. It would be amazing if there was a game mechanic where if the killer was standing within a X amount of distance to a hooked player for X amount of time, the survivors bar(health) stops moving down and they can't die while being watched. Making it pointless for the killer to do this.

  • personally i dont think camping is the best thing, however. if they did add smth like that if a surv is running the killer around the hook area i dont find that incredibly fair for the killer who isnt camping intentionally.

  • BHVR tested exactly that and it was forced to be scrapped for being horrifically abusable.

  • How would you fix that so a killer that's running around the hook doesn't get punished?

    And if the killer knows there's a couple survivors nearby, should they be expected to just leave and take the inevitable bait from one of those two?

  • This was actually tried, just how you describe it. Guess what? Survivors abused it.

    They would stand out in the open, in opposite directions. If the Killer chased 1, #2 would go for the unhook. But slow enough to move away if the Killer doubled back.

    So the Killer was forced to camp, or start a chase miles away from the hook & allow an unhook. Which was a bullshit lose/lose scenario Survivors could literally abuse at-will.


    So it's not happening. This result is why all 'punishment' threads are bad and there will never be a punishment; because Survivors will abuse and exploit the hell out of any mechanic they can for every inch of advantage.

  • So I can stare at you as bubba for literally eternity, fun times.

  • Just do gens and leave with him having one kill if everyone does this its incentive enough

  • Probably people just trying to profit on how the MMR system works.
