Survive with friends trouble

I was just wondering if there is any particular reason that survivors who go into a lobby with friends spawn into the lobby at the same time. It is difficult enough for my friends and I to find matches when we play together and some killers see that 2-4 of us come in at the same time and instantly back out of the lobby making us wait more time to find a match and hopefully not have the killer quit. Is it possible for devs to change the way people spawn into the lobby that way killers can't tell who is playing with friends and who isn't?

    Go play against a swf bully squadette and then you will see why people tend to back out of swf matches.

    Do you prefer it when the killer DCs ingame? I believe that lobby dodging is the only reason why killers basically never DC. If you wanna have a killer DC rate as high as the survivor Dc rate, go ahead :wink:

    You can be sure most of the Killers will use alt f4, so no 5k for you. And no item keeping either.

    No problem. Just means they can't queue again right away, so fewer dodgers for my next match.

    Yep a minute later they come back in and que again, where as you are out 20k in items and offerings, seems like a fair exchange.

    I don't bring in items anyway, so it doesn't really matter for me at all.

    Boo I lost my brown BP offering. Woe is me. I've been defeated.

    Then you are set, the dc effects you in no way, but most people are effected and SWF groups hate it even more because they are forced to go and remake their group.

    I play 2 and 3 man SWF a lot and get dodged a lot.  I agree it's frustrating, but I also think the OP is going the wrong direction.  Rather than force killers to play matches they dont want to play, or trick them into it, devs really need to get it through thier heads that SWF does have an undeniable, unarguable advantage and not every killer is okay with it.  Just give us a seperate queue for SWF, or make SWF visible in the normal lobby, and give killers a bonus to BP for playing against SWF.

    And before everyone says this won't work, empty lobbies, no killers will do it, etc, I submit that a lot of killers would take the challenge, myself included when I play killer.  And the only way to know is to try it.

    They have to remake their group from dodging anyway, genius.

    It's totally random anyway. Each person is connecting individually, the game doesn't wait for everyone in your group to be connected to spawn you into the lobby. If your homeboy Jimbo has an IBM Thinkpad frying a couple eggs while his mom is on the phone and it struggles to connect, he could load in way after you. Likewise, when the matchmaking decides "Fill this lobby now" and starts dumping survivors in there, it could stick four complete strangers into your lobby all at once. Happens to me pretty frequently.

    People dodge for the pettiest things though, so I don't know if that'll change.
