If everyone Camped from Hook 1, how long would the game survive/last?

[Red Threads]

Pondering. I don't think it would last very long at all. Do you agree? If so what does that imply?

[Tatara]

Camping is default ingame mechanic for now, so... Do gens. It's very fast when killer doing nothing.

[Vinnie Huxhold]

Of course it wouldnt last long. Unfortunately, this is the situation the game is heading to. Campers are increasing day by day and the game will be on the brink of death if nothing is done.

if you play with normal and skilled teammates, the hooked teammate would keep themself on hook as much as possible while yall do gens. In the other case, where everyone rushes for the unhook against camper, whole team is doomed to lose fast.

It's the tactic of the desperate and inadequate

[applesauce yum yum]

camping is primarily a survivor created issue. if survivors gen rush while killer camps, killer will constantly only get 1 kill and stop doing it.

they fed the wrong wolf way too much this time i guess.. back in the day they would always juggle between one or other never sticking to one side for a long time.. like there were months when Killers were OP then survivors OP then back to Killers OP.. this somewhat kept the balance in long run.. now its tending towards one side for way to long and they are taking a huge risk doing so.. its quite interesting to see what happens next..

may be new killer reveal tomorrow will turn the tide who knows..

If everyone camped from hook 1 —whatever that means — then I suppose the match lasts no less than 720 seconds or 12 minutes.
A (sub-)average of 60 seconds buffer for chasing and downing a survivor (for each survivor), 60 seconds for each 1.st hook stage per survivor, 60 seconds for each 2.nd hook stage without accounting for missed skill checks, kinship, reassurance or scourge hook, which accelerates the sacrificial process.

Only if it's the chainsaw wielding maniac with a leather mask. Rescuing as a group has a high probability of success. Especially when faking the rescue also.

But that 1 kill is still undeserved. The killer shouldnt be rewarded for their bad plays regardless of how many kills it gives them.

Similar that this game continue live enough long even in such case, because we see how almost all survivors regularly Camp Generators from first Seconds match, and game still exist more than 6 Years. But i doubt that so many Killers going Camp from first Hook, because most part Killers are more decent than most part Survivors and only few part Killers ready do such Thing

if the killer is using deadlock and the survivors aren't coordinated (SoloQ, which implies no one even has Reassurance) it's 4k easy, it's not even 1 or 2.

the situation gets worse even in coordinated teams against an facecamper bubba (with deadlock)

[Fiameta]

For the person that is facecamped the game is 2min ( 60sec for each stage hook). As gens are 80 sec,1 camp survivor is 3.5 gens. Unless using perks/toolboxes. After that the rest of the team either must be good at looping and survive the next 1.5 gen or get another survivor facecamped which means the killer will get 2k. Irrespective, of that the game is not fun as the person getting camped is getting punished for playing the game while the killer is being rewarded for not playing the game as intended.

Because staying on a hook for 2min is extremely boring? Same reason "gen rushing" is not fun since it just puts stress on the killer because there is nothing more survivors need to do?
It seems like most people don't even remember what playing a game for fun is, instead they do it to bully their counterpart.

That still means that the same survivor stays on the hook ... but longer and even if you can save them it still is a stupid match. Killers should be encouraged to pursue new targets as often as possible but the only penalty is the hook proximity which does nothing is you are at max rank or don't care about rank.

[Probably afk tbh]

It really depends if the survivors start seperated or together. If they are seperated and get on gens relatively quickly and the first survivor puts up a decent chase you can expect 2-3 gens to pop by first hook. If the Killer face camps the first hook and 1 survivor goes for the rescue while the other 2 spend 30 seconds finding another gen and then pumping it out you can expect all gens to be done in about 4 minutes if survivors play optimally.

Face camping is almost always a bad idea unless it's end game or the survivors are overly altruistic or you've already lost and just trying to secure some BP.

It's funny, because bad players usually assume camping is always a good strat and strong in every scenario, which is not the case, it highly depends on the state of the match and what killer you are facing and how good the survivors are
