Cannot switch killer In lobby with new matchmaking system.
I definitely like that your skill will be tracked between killers, but the only problem with this whole not being able to switch in lobby are the people who can tell what killer you are before the game. I've gotten in the habit of quick switching my killer right before the 5 sec mark in the ready up timer just so they won't know who i'm playing. Is there any way the devs can solve this issue. @Peanits are yall working on a fix for this or no.

Did you not read the notes on this? They said that's the idea not to allow switching once in lobby

Yes but he's saying the current cheats and exploits people are using to see which killer you're using in the lobby makes this a bad time to put in a change like that.

I think he meant that there is an exploit which noobs abuse to see what killer they are up against. Last second switch was only way to make sure you aren't running against builds made against your specific killer. Devs hopefully fixes the exploit when they roll out the update.

When you quick switch your killer it makes it so that exploiters cannot tell what killer your playing before the game starts.

Oh, that's a bull move.
Maybe need to make everyone locked in their choice then 🤔

What i find intresting tho is i havent read for survivors should they not be locked as well
so they cannot last secobd switch to toolboxes plus flashlight fast heal etc groups

Is it just me, or are the dev's making things pro-survivor heavy everything anymore?

normally i'd argue that they are not making it pro-survivor here, but this is definitely pro-survivor main if anything but then it is also going to kill survivor at the same time. They have acknowledged that these programs people use are a cheat, but they can not act without issues upon them because these programs are just reading logs that are available to be seen at anytime. till they act to nullify this advantage people have, they will start hemorrhaging players. The first to go will be the killers and then for a short period a few survivors will flip to killer but in the end more will leave because of long lobby times, and tired of being countered on a whim. eventually this will cause the game to go into a decline as less and less buy the expansions and the cosmetics.
to the behavior devs: be wary of you locking the killer into place without locking survivors into place once they are in the lobby. EQUAL TREATMENT. This nullifies the advantage of this program over the killer because the only option for the survivors to do is to leave the lobby beyond that it will prevent this information from being used against your players that play killer.

I have heard reports the logs are completely encrypted on the current PTB, which SHOULD eliminate the main issue although I have no clue if it'll fix it entirely. (People might find another method)
I do think survivors should be locked at the 20-second mark of the timer (Can't change survivor or item. Can change perks, cosmetics, addons and offering though) so they can't quickswitch.
