Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Show Killer name (and only name) in lobby

I believe this change would highly improve quality of life for survivors. There are many killers in this game who are hackers/straight face campers/tunnelers/horrible ping, just crappy to play with/against, and we all have a few people I'm sure we've blocked or tried to avoid.

I don't expect you to show the killer or who they're playing, obviously that wouldn't be fair, but I think it's completely fair for the survivors to see the name of the killer they're going against. For example, let's say someone is getting stream sniped as a survivor, they should be able to avoid a game against someone who they know is stream sniping.

Before anyone says 'oh this gives the ability for survs to check killer streams, etc.' - Two things: 1. if you don't want to get sniped, take ttv out of your name. 2. if killers can snipe survs, then why would it be an issue for survs to snipe killers? This is very one-sided, and gives all the advantage to the killer.

There are definitely a list of players in this community that I hope to never go up against again because the match is just downright NOT FUN. I think we should have the opportunity to leave the game if we go against one of these killers, and the only way to do that is to show their name in the lobby.
