“Lobby Shopping”

You miss my point. People (both side) telling survivors press Ready means they have to commit a match where they dont know what theyre going to play against. Killer can dodge a match if they see the winning chance isnt on their favor. Because Im sure most survivors would dodge lobby if they know its pre-nerf Eruption Nurse.
I do think the possibility of 4 Ranger and charge/syringe is stupid. Winning by out investments should not be a thing.

Team has more hours in game than I have in life
Obvious hacker in the lobby
Survivor with awful ping
Obvious troll squads.
Punishment is a bad idea. But people generally just want to use the stick and not the carrot. Problem is the stick never works in this game.

I dodge Profiles with VAC-Bans and Private Profiles. Too many hackers at the moment again.
If I could see someone is playing on Epic-Games, I would dodge them all.

If you have a match making penalty for leaving a lobby, those people will just stop playing.
Its not that hard to figure out why or how it works, move beyond low MMR and face SWF3-4 or really good 2's. The game is so radically different in this state that the killer may as well be playing a totally different game.
And a lot of them do not want to play that game.
The way to really fix your lobby dodge issue is to show up front what sort of game you'll be forced to play, and let the players decide if their time is worth it.
I doubt this is what will be done though.

I don't dodge lobbies. I don't care how high the prestige is, I don't care if it's full of ttv's, I don't care if it's all toolboxes, and I certainly don't care if the lobby is all flashlights since I can just equip lightborn, I take my wins with my loses, at the end of the day it's just a game and doesn't really matter too much to me in the grand scheme of things.

I dodge ttvs and cross platforms. Not trying to deal with hacks and stream sniping accusations.

I do when there's a player whose name and hours are dodgy, and they seem like someone who might be cheating or using exploits.
Another reason is, depending on my previous games sometimes I just want to chill and do my archives and not get sent to a map by SWF-bully squads with Boil Over and Sabbo-toolboxes :)

I'm usually not even in the lobby i alt tab to watch youtube before the game begins
Lobby dodging just screws with the matchmaking
I saw this suggested on the forums once and i wholeheartedly agree that the game would be better without a lobby.
Just go straight from search match to a match. Sucks that killers won't be able to see items anymore but overall the game would be way healthier

I dodge for the same reason i do killer. Ttvs and cross platforms get dodge.

If there is more than 2 flashlights or I got a feeling that it is a premade, usually you can tell by the names (like they are on the same language or have something in common). Also, if more than 1 person got extremely colourful cosmetics.

I dont blame you, but for some reason you make me sick as a Killer. Not sure what it is... Ill think on it.

I see no point in it.

Give Franklin's and Lightborn a buff first, at least.

I'll consider backing out of a lobby if I see 4 identical survivors with 4 identical items. I have no way of distinguishing who's who in game.
They could show hook counts to killers, but, even though this would REALLY help nice killers who are playing chill (and thusly, not keeping track of hook counts), it would also slightly help killers tunnel better (the killer who has been chasing Bill all game KNOWS they need to hook Bill 1 more time; seeing that on the hook counter doesn't help them tunnel Bill), and we can't have that...

I'm not interested in sweatfests. The 4 TTV P100 6 second switch RPD lobby can get a 10k hour Nurse or Blight instead. Have fun!

I have 6000+ hours in this game and I couldn't care less about pipping, I just don't want to play matches at super high stress levels in order to win.
Since I play on the OCE server, I see the same groups of survivors a lot and recognize their swf groups. I tend to dodge if it is a 4 man or they have multiple streamers, because those groups tend to want to show off on the killer, and it ain't fun being ridiculed in front of an audience.

I’ll gladly take them. 🥰 Love them sweaty lobbies.

Survs absolutely should not be able to see the killer.
Survs are functionally all the same, really. Aside from their items and perks, there is nothing of substance to differentiate how you approach a game. But each killer is different, some wildly different, and being able to gear up for a specific killer would lead to the sweatiest killer meta ever at best, and break the whole game at worst.
It would be no fun for anyone.

I agree with this

The problem is they don't get those 10k hour killers, after a few dodges they are given the next available killer who only has 200hrs. You might end up with an easier match, while they are thrown to the wolves because of the dodging. Not fair either way

The only valid reason to dodge a lobby is if you think someone is a cheater. If you're dodging people because you think they're good just play bots

Ever since becoming a Bubba main I don't dodge any lobbies.

I dodge groups of TTVs not because they might be good, but because most of the time they turn the match into some kind of clown show for their viewers rather than a legitimate game.
And I think that's a perfectly valid thing to want to avoid.

If i see legacy, i immediately leave. The amount of times i have played against someone with legit legacy vs someone who was an obvious cheater puts it heavily in the favor of the cheater. So i just don't bother and leave.
Outside of that, if i see 4 last second swaps to p100, i will open up task manager and leave. I have no problem playing against that, but only if i can prepare for it. Doing last second swaps is scummy.

I don't see lobby shopping any different then people picking their teammates in a swf.

I rarely dodge lobbies. But sometimes I simply can't be bothered to play against 4 medkits / toolboxes. Very rarely I see survivors that intimidate me in the lobby like P100 Aces. These guys are scary af. Multiple of these guys in the same lobby and I might dodge.

Depends on a few things including my mood, my rank, my build and my killer. If I'm playing a killer I'm bad at or if I'm trying to play a fun meme-y build, I more likely to dodge a lobby that I suspect to be a SWF either because of their high prestige, all on comp, matching cosmetics, too many flashlights, etc. I'm usually okay if I think it's just a duo, but anything more than that spoils the fun.
I'm also more likely to dodge if I am one pip away from ranking up, or just while I'm still pipping up in general. Once I hit Iri 1, I don't feel like I have to sweat getting potentially stomped as much.
And if I just had to sweat my ass off against a frustrating 4 SWF, I'm much less likely to want to do that in the next game, so I'm more likely to dodge potential SWFs in that case as well.
