Spawn Camping, Sigh

[CptnSpandex]

Yup already a thing, spawn into a map and there is a clown standing right there waiting and bouncecasters me within 2 seconds of me spawning into the map, fun, you need to make spawn ins random anywhere on the map or this is gonna get old really really quickly.

that sounds bad yeah. But the spawns for the clowns and the survivors are really close at the start for some dumb reason too .

I don't know if it's so much they are close or that I myself when playing Klown just immediately go to run straight for the otherside of the map when the round starts.

I've had quite a few games where I am just running around an a person spawns in front of me.
With humans leaving as much as they do it seems to be a pretty common occurrence.
My last dozen or so games as klown I've ended the match with around 20k exp because of the sheer amount of humans that keep leaving and getting replaced with new players.
I highly doubt too many players are just standing around at a random human spawn hoping someone happens to pop in while they ignore the rest of the humans in the game.

I wonder why they leave like ive only like 4 matches and that was because i couldnt be asked doing the stupid minigames and i wanted to play the game


Theres hot joining so its probably people joining an in progress match seeing its doomed to fail and leaving again idk

Well when I'm playing human about 90% of the time I'm running to save someone from a cocoon and they just leave.
Probably just an issue of people being so new still because when I get cocooned I've had people just run right past me while I slowly die.
So I almost understand why people would just leave after getting cocooned, but their selfishness kind of ruins the game.

One of my last games we queued up and as soon as it allocated which team we were going to play on we had 7 people and 4 instantly left before even starting the match because they saw they were going to be humans.

It's not even camp, just quick play spawns in general. Sometimes you can spawn literally in clown. Like hello dude, how's it going?

The clown i spawned in front of was not even moving he was just standing there waiting. It's obviously a tact, figure out where the spawn points are, spawn gank them as soon as they appear, they leave, rinse and repeat.

I mean, they should make a system that would not allow players to spawn next to a clown. It can happen even if clown just runing around or defend objective nearby. In your case, it is quite possible that it was intentional.

they shouldnt spawn near a clown at all times thats just really dumb

I don't necessarily think it's a strategy to predict where people spawn, I think you are being spawned and still "processing" while in the klowns' perspective, you are already spawned.

yea right off the bat u have to run like u have to be good at the game to not die so quickly like u cannot be slow u have to start running to the nearest bush or building in the beginning of the match

I think its to put pressure early on but as a klown i go for cocoons
