    I am a long-time DBD player and I decided to make this thread because it's something I feel pretty strongly about. I believe there is an error in the general attitude of the DBD community. Keep in mind, I am a roughly 50/50 Killer/Survivor player. I love the mechanics and dynamics of both sides.

    Almost every time I play as Killer, in the after-game chat I get somebody who whines about my "camping". Something I don't consider "camping", but rather "patrolling my hook". Most of you Survivor-mains by now are probably thinking "then you shouldn't camp noob", but I feel like there are a few key points that players are not considering:

    1. Patrolling a hook is a right as Killer. The Survivor on the hook has been discovered, chased, downed, and hooked. Hook rescues are awarded high bloodpoints because it is considered a HIGH RISK ACTIVITY. You are not ENTITLED to a hook rescue. A hook rescue is a challenge that is rewarded.
    2. It is the responsibility of Survivors to adapt their gameplay and cooperation in order to overcome the Killer. If Survivors are playing against a camping Killer, it is the Survivors' responsibility to either exploit the weaknesses of guarding a hook or suffer the consequences. It is not my fault that you have been downed/hooked because you repeatedly and PREDICTABLY choose to attempt a hook rescue.
    3. How a player chooses to navigate his/her character within the bounds of the game and without exploiting bugs is the choice of the player. EVEN if a killer chooses to facecamp, that is the choice the Killer is making in how to conduct his playstyle. It is up to the Survivors to exploit the weakness of this playstyle by completing objectives while the killer is guarding his hook, or suffer the consequences of not adapting.
    4. People feel hook patrolling reduces their level of "fun", but this is short-sighted and immature. Fun is had by using your brain, adapting to and overcoming challenges. I'm sorry you don't get to raise your rank, but maybe that means you're not as good of a Survivor as you thought you were. A good survivor adapts and overcomes.
    5. The devs have stated that hook patrolling is intended. It is an intended mechanic of the game. Survivors hang on hooks for a long period of time because it creates a cat-and-mouse dynamic: the Killer must prevent the hooked survivor from escaping, and the Survivors must weigh the risk-reward of attempting a hook rescue.

    I very firmly believe that anyone who reinforces the sentiment of "killers who camp are bad at the game and make it less fun" is completely missing the point of the game.

    EDIT to re-word for easier reading and some typos

    Those are valid and the only issue I have with a killer that plays like that is you already get an advantage with certain perks that show you the exact location of the survivor. I understand your point if you don't have that perk. However with that perk why camp you already have the advantage then I see killers like that get mad when the survivor Disconnects. Which I dont personally practice camping as killer or DC as survivor but then you can argue that a killer shouldn't get mad at DC either then. The game is set up to give killer advantages between long wiggle and hooks close together and the perks like seeing survivors location. And agree looping isnt camping but why camp I have the upper hand as killer with perks hooks everything. That's why I dont camp I want to show my talent and it's more fun not camping and if I did camp seeing how game is in my favor as killer i wouldn't get mad if they dc. DC however does irritate me in a clean game. But thing makes me maddest in the games is survivors that think you'll obey them when they point or run to you thinking you wont hit them. And killers that enable them, unless everyone dc but 1thats the only time I let that survivor win I feel bad they had immature teammates. And if they dont try to help their team I seek those ones out with vengeance then I focus on hooking that one over and over till their out lol. I like honor in my games fyi if I'm your killer.
