Survivor Cheats: Seeing the killer in the lobby.
I originally wanted to post this earlier, but then forgot about it. But yesterday I went against a fully stocked 4man with 4 Calm Spirits as Doctor, I realised that this exploit is STILL not fixed.
There is no hacks involved here, no changing of gamefiles. This is impossible to track for the developers or EAC, since all you need to do is look at the logs. Therefor people that do this to killer WILL NOT be banned, as there is no evidence.
So if you as killer ever wonder how survivors consistently bring perks and items to hard counter your killer, this is why.

Man, if this isn't fixed, couldn't they at least let killers go back to switching in the lobby again? That was the only way to try to combat this was last-second switching, and now killers can't even do that.
Is this why I see four-man Spine Chill so ridiculously often while playing Myers? Or is it just a coincidence? I'm really curious, now.

The killer lobby lock is required for the mmr, according to the devs, so I would not hold my breath for that to return.

So apparently my post got quickly edited by the mods to remove the pictures of the logs showing the evidence :/
Looks like the developers just want to silence it instead of actually fixing it.

4x Calm Spirit against Doctor is pretty obvious.
But Spine Chill is probaly a very popular perk right now as we start to get a lot more killers that either play someone like GF/myers that can sneak up on people, tinkerer made it to the meta and spine chill will alert you if the killer is coming to your gen. Also lot of people are starting to play Spirit again after her bug got fixed and spine chill is very good to counter her. Personally I bring iron will 9/10 games I play cause I always assume its gonna be a Spirit.... or atleast a killer that use their headphones

Required for the mmr currently not in place? I do not really see the issue with disabling it until they get around to actually reimplementing it especially if what OP says is true and the log files are still just checkable in plain text to see what killer you'll verse. And if it is gathering data it will need to do that after a match anyway so that it can update so I cannot see why it would be needed.

Oh, I would never expect it to return. I know better. But I'll still point out how much it sucks that there is no MMR right now yet killers still aren't allowed to switch in the lobby (yay for the Hag who waits in a long queue only to see 4 flashlights in the lobby) and the problem that lets survivors see who the killer is might still be there. That's ridiculous. That would mean survivors can actually prepare for a match better than the killer can.
Ah, okay. In my matches lately I've seen a pretty wide variety of killers, nothing that would make me choose Spine Chill over anything else, but every region/rank is different. (I too love Iron Will. It's saved my butt so many times.) But man I really get tired of Spine Chill ruining my tier 1 Mikey fun. I try to sometimes crabwalk or whatever to play around it, but I dunno it feels unnatural to be doing that, I'd usually rather just move on quickly and hope I get to be spooky in the next match.

Or they're just memers and ran it because why not, i have a friend who runs calm spirit religiously and if they asked me to run it for a joke with them I would.

The log files in question are encrypted and can't be read.
Your screenshots were also old ones, which you can see by the green perks.
