Why can't survivors request/block certain killers?

As a survivor main, there are some killers that I find extremely fun to play against, and there are some killers that are so unfun to play against that it feels like torture. Then there is the Clown, whose power makes me feel genuine motion sickness when he distorts my screen. This game gives survivors no ability to see the killer in the pre-game lobby (so I have no way to leave and avoid killers that I hate, or the killer that causes actual IRL sickness), and it then revokes all of my earned BP and gives me a lock-out penalty if I try to leave a match against that killer. There should be a way for survivors to designate killers that they enjoy playing against (e.g., Plague is more likely to be the killer I get paired with in match-making). They should also be able to designate some killers as "do not match."

Yes, this would result in longer queue times for survivors that have several killers blocked or for killers that no one wants to play against, but that means that BHVR needs to work on killers so that survivors enjoy (or at least don't mind) playing against those killers.

    Imagine killers having the option to not face certain perks,, half the survivor playerbase would be locked in lobby simulator for absurd amount of time

    I'll trade you not playing against a certain killer for me never having to face SWFs as a killer.

    I kind of agree with this to block some nurse BUT I think the right thing to do would be to do the gradation like with game cards. The developers have made a system where the same game card should not be caught in a row. I think it's worth doing the same with the killers so that after the game with the nurse there would not be a nurse again in a row.

    Imagine feeling so entitled that you think it would be ok to take away another person’s fun because “I dOnT LiKe tHaT KiLLeR”. 🙄
