Reputation system

Could it be possible to add a feature, where you could see other survivor statistics in lobby from like last 10 games?

These statistics could include like:

how many generators they repaired

How long they stayed alive during the match

How many pallets been used etc.


The reason i'm asking this is because as a player who plays mostly solo or duo survivor. The thing that irritates me the most are teammates that kill themselves on the hook, survivors who refuse to repair generators AT ALL. (The flashlight clickers)

These games are not pleasant at all, and if even one survivor is slacking with generator repair entire match, this means that remaining survivors have to sweat with generators if they want to have any chance of survival. (who wants to spend entire game holding m1). There are certain types of survivors who do not participate doing the objective and repairing generators because they find it "boring"

Obviously this would increase lobby dodging among the other survivors. But i would rather wait extra 5 minutes to find a decent lobby where i get teammates that actually are.. participating in doing the OBJECTIVE. But certain survivors just seem to play to get chased by the killer.. which means that remaining survivors have to carry them by doing extra m1 on the generator.

Now don't get wrong, i don't mind working on the generators, but is that the only that i want to do as a survivor? No. If all survivors participated in doing the objective, we all could get few chases in, few saves and maybe then actually escape.

Now i get that certain players have different victory conditions and what they concinder "fun" or the reason they play the game. But i think i should have way to know if i'm going to play with teammates who aren't planning to "win" as developers intended; repair 5 generators, open exit and leave.

Sorry for grammar mistakes, english is not my first language.

    this will never happen because the lobby queue times would increase exponentially and its already a nightmare to get out of low ranks as a solo survivor. Just saying. What if you get 1 hooked by the killer and nobody did gens? Would instantly tarnish your record and would likely get people who care about how other people play causing them to dodge your game. Look how badly the timeout ban effects this game when usually its completly out of your control due to servers when you have to sit through it. Imagine your teammates infinitely dodging YOUR games as a solo player.

    I think there should be a reputation system, but only with using upvotes. Play with a good survivor that risks his life at end game to save you, you invote him. Play against a good killer that played fair (up to your interpretation of fair) up vote him.

    Players get an upvote blood point gift and possibly matched with other upvoted players. I wouldn't do a down vote system as certain swf groupings would just downvote any killer that beats them.

    The problem with a vote system is it WILL be abused. No matter how the killer plays people won't upvote him because survivors have this illusion there is a rule book for the killer. When I play killer the only rules I follow are the ones the devs have set. No one elses. So long as I am not violating the devs rules all is fair.

    Sorry, but that's simply not true. I've had plenty of killers who I would up vote. Either because they played in a fair manner, which is obviously subjective. They played well, or were generally good sports.

    "You" would up vote killers. Not everyone will. Look at the amount of people who suicide on a hook because they were found first, the killer is spirit, the killer didn't respect the 4%, the killer tunneled them off the hook, the killer is using spirit fury+enduring. When MLGA was a thing there were people that blocked a killer just because they lost a match. A vote system controlled by the survivors is just putting more emphasis on how they think a killer should play.

    Of course not everyone would. In what world would you expect somebody to upvote you for tunneling? And in the end it's not like an upvote system would matter. The killer is going to play how they want regardless. The only thing it might do is make them see how miserable that playstyle is for others. I don't teabag, flashlight click, or any of that crap because I want the killer to have a fun match too. This game would be so much better if both sides stopped trying to make the other miserable.

    Yeah. With an upvote only system it wouldn't hurt you if you didn't get upvoted, but it would reward you for being a good sport. Again, that's completely subjective, but generally speaking players with more upvotes would likely deserve whatever reward they would get.
