The killer's name

Hey y'all, how are you doing?

Can we please see the name of the player we're up against as survivors, in the lobby? (Not the killer he/she's using, but the name of the player.)

I've noticed an increase in cases of griefing (friends and their friends have been talking about it). I'm also being targeted by a specific user and it's ruining my game experience completely.

I trust this would help us a lot in fighting griefing.

Thank you!

    That would make stream sniping killers easier.

    I dont think its a good idea. I always check the survivor i play with to see if they are hacking or not most of the time a steam account lvl 0 is a good clue. When i check some profile are not private and i see the comment player leave on there profile and those comment are so toxic its kinda funny in a way this game make people like that

    Presuming that stream sniping killers is a very, very difficult task nowadays, which is not. Just go to Twitch -> Categories -> DBD and voilá. It's easy as that. I don't think you get the point here. Some killers get so pissed at some survivors that they start to practice GRIEFING. What is GRIEFING? I pick you as a target. My goal is to ruin your game experience. I'll always find you. I'll always play against you. I'll always tunnel you. I'll try to make your game experience the worst experience you've ever had.

    See the point now? In order to avoid suffering griefing, I need to change my nickname, change my main character, clean my nickname history, change my skin, etc.

    If I'm able to see the name of the player I'm up against beforehand, I can simply leave the room and avoid being targeted. See? Easy as that. Of course, the killer can change his nickname too, but if I block him on steam, I'll still be able to identify if it is a blocked person and leave the room.
