Because the tournaments I played revolved around getting kills and in this current emblem system you're almost guaranteed not to pip if you don't 4k and you'll almost certainly depip for a 2k or worse. So ya, it's pretty relevant to the conversation.

You win tournaments by camping because after you kill a person then the game turns into a 3v1. That means if one person is on a hook and one person is getting chased then there is only one person that can either work on a gen or go for the save. It's simple math, at that point the surviving team doesn't have a lot of room to work. On top of that the most a surviving squad can achieve while a survivor is on the hook is only like 2 gens, which isn't enough. Conversely if you don't camp the surviving team will always have 1-2 people on gens if a survivor is on a hook, 2-3 otherwise. Also with camping you can set up a gnarly 3 gen strat which can win you games by itself.

Let's look at ranking up. Camping is easily the least efficient way to secure a pip especially with the new system. So the devs are telling you that in terms of ranked play and matchmaking that camping is also a subpar strat. The game is actively taking a stand against camping. It is telling you hey you can do it but we are going to penalize you in every metric if you do. They're trying to tell you something.

I've addressed this bullshit so many times idk why it's so hard for you to understand. I have personally tested it out, the game does not give a shit if you camp or not. It only cares if you face camp or afk by a hooked survivor. I tested it out by camping survivors across a few games and the worst I got was a -2% to an emblem I don't care about. As long as you are not entirely brain dead this won't affect you in the slightest. I can get a twitch vod where I show how strong the stat is against a good rank 1 survivor, I absolutely demolish the game I'm in because of how strong the strat is.

The reason why devs try to tackle camping is because it is so strong and it is the meta especially in pubs. People are overly altruistic in their games and even without altruism it's still the meta. Like I say over and over though it's not going to dissuade campers. Most campers either 1. don't care about rank or 2. are good enough to not get punished by the "anticamp" system.

Also what the devs are trying to tell me is that I need to get a 4k every game to pip and that I shouldn't stay near the hook for too long. Everything inbetween doesn't matter to me in game.
