voice channel and choosing the killer to go against

i would like to see option about joining the voice channel for survivors so we can talk in game especially when i play solo survivor so i can have nice chats with my teammates. And it would be awesome in my opinion to have an option about us choosing which killer we want to be against and then we would wait for a match since we can't change killers while waiting for a match

    The devs already said that they didnt want vc in the game. And that it wouldn't be a good idea to choose what killer you want to face, as some survivors would pick a certain killer then have a build that negates that killers power/ability entirely. exm. Calm Spirit/Shadow Step/ Distortion against Doctor.

    voice chat (or at least text chat) is a must for soloq - there is zero reason for it not to exist (atmosphere argument isn't an argument because discord exists); if some snowflake is afraid of toxicity they could simply turn it off

    as for the killers - instead you should be able to ban 1 or 2 as well as 1 or 2 realms (killer should be able to do so as well) - this could point out which killers/maps need a rework and make life less frustrating for most players

    If you could choose the killer you want to face, everyone would pick something like ghostface/myers and equip spine chill or doctor and everyone is running calm spirit or trapper and every survivor has a map, etc.

    You shouldn't be able to select which killer you go against since there are too many perks and items that provide strong counters against certain killers especially if you can do it as a swf

    Trapper, maps that track his traps

    Wraith, flashlights and spinechill

    Billy, indoor map offering

    Nurse, no body will pick this one

    Huntress, indoor map with ton of los breakers

    Myers, spinechill

    Hag, no one will pick this one but if they did flashlights

    you get the gist, people will select weaker killers to go up against and bring items and or perks that are strong against them

    if you really want to play / practice against a certain killer try a kyf lobby and have someone go the specific killer

    Rofl, can you imagine trying to play doctor when all four survivors have calm spirit every match?

    Dead by Daylight was designed without voice chat for a reason. I myself play oodles of Solo Queue and I never want voice chat added--we have plenty of aura reading perks and two gestures we can use perfectly fine.

    And choosing Killers is an awful idea... like others have said, people would just choose Killers you can select easy perk counters for, and then people would completely quit playing Killers like Doctor, Myers and Ghostface because everyone would be guaranteed running Spine Chill and Calm Spirit.

    The only one going insane would be the doctor players

    ive had max 2 within my entire playtime of dbd, even though I don't play doctor that much those matches were substantially more annoying to play as doctor

    voice channel will cause a lot of problems with salt

    choosing the killer will make nurse and spirit never get played against and wraith and clown will be the only one people will want to play against because ez wins

    i believe you still show up on doctor's screen even with calm spirit, just without the screaming

    Nah, if u don't audibly scream, doc won't get the notif. If he has any Restraint add-ons, he sees a red aura when your madness tiers up. Distortion/Shadow Step blocks that aura, thus making u practicly invincible to his power, aside that u still gain madness. Source: I'm a doc main
