Facecamping/tunneling idea

supersonicpickle

I understand face camping is a strat, and it can easily be countered by gen rushing, but it does make the game seem pointless and uneventful. I think that they should implement something that detected if the killer is within a 10 meter radius, and if they are the sacrifice countdown should go slower, this allows the rest of the team to hit gens, while it allows more time for the person on the hook to be saved, tell me your thoughts

already tried, abused by survivors. the idea got dropped again.

honestly, there are a lot of puishments for camping already, we dont need additional ones.

you should rather think about adding rewards to killers who do not camp / tunnel instead of trying to punish even more.

BBQ is an perfect example. it rewards killers for leaving the hook AND rewards them even more for not tunneling one person down! its such a great perk! (and yet there are many threats out there asking for BBQ nerfs.. sigh..)

They tried it and survivors abused it. Do gens and get out.

Sucks for the survivor that gets 1hooked but if the others do their job both the survivor and killer will get nothing out of that game.

PTB #1 - September 2016

The first Public Test Build took place between 20-23 September 2016 in preparation for Patch 1.1.2.

The main changes the Developers intended to test with this build:

• improved Matchmaking
• new mechanic:
  • slowed-down the Entity progression on the Hook if the Killer remained within a certain proximity of it.

It was their first attempt to create and implement an anti-camping mechanic. Since the new Mechanic got abused too heavily by Survivors purposefully kiting the Killer around their hooked team mate, the Developers disabled the Mechanic again.

Already tested, already abused

Survivors are the reason survivors cant have nice things.
