    I like the “I have a twin now” aspect. Warms my heart when someone switches to Feng or Jeff or whoever I’m using. Also yes if the clothing is identical it can make it harder for killers with STBFL etc especially with same items or none at all.

    I once had someone doing this to me so i kept switching to keep us different. He got tunnelled and I got hatch and a message from the killer thanking me for not playing along.

    Just for fun, most of the time. Once had a Legacy 2-Nea in my Lobby, she matched her Outfit to mine and followed me the whole game, reparing Gens, healing other Survivors etc.

    Honestly a roll of the dice. Could be friends just messing around with meme skins, could be someone saw a random with the skin they have, could be a team running the same skin and meta perks for the easiest possible game

    That works both ways lol. You might get inadvertently tunnelled doing that.

    I mean... if I see two or three of my teammates are Fengs (or whoever else), I'm gonna switch to that survivor too just so I can be part of a Feng Gang (or whichever survivor they're playing as). I'll always give myself unique cosmetics though so that the killer can tell me apart.

    I just wanna be part of the team? Is that so wrong?!?!?!?!

    I'll switch survivors if I load into a lobby that's say: all megs, just to have fun. "My sisters!" so to speak. Or if it's a lobby of all male characters, I'll switch from my usual female main to the male of my choice to have "guy's night out." Again, just amusing myself in what can sometimes be a frustrating game.

    I won't, however, change my full outfit. I paid for my cosmetics to have my great/terrible outfit, damnit, I'm gonna wear it.
