Should the survivor grades be visible to the killer

A lot of people, like myself, skip certain lobbies as a killer. This can be for many reasons, one being if all the survivors are p100. While I understand that grades are not always a reflection of a player's skill, I would be lying if I said I wasn't influenced by them to some extent. I feel like I might be going up against some skilled players, which is why I play it safe and skip the lobby.

If grades weren't shown to the killer, there wouldn't be a good indication (most of the time) of what may unfold in the following game. It could be a new player or a highly experienced one. While I like knowing what kind of players I might be up against, this causes longer matchmaking times for the survivors. I have been on the receiving end of this, and I had seven killers skip a lobby I was in. I think this was because there were two p100 players in my lobby.

I know this isn't a major issue, but it got me wondering

    No, prestige and grades have no effect on MMR and are not a reflection of the players' skill and therefore shouldn't be shown. It just leads to people dodging for virtually no reason or complaining and giving misguided MMR & SBMM feedback bc they see a high number and blame it for losing or use it as 'proof' matchmaking is bad.

    I mean seriously we gain BPs so quickly getting to P100 is only admirable bc it means someone spent so much time on their bloodwebs, and the number of high prestiges will skyrocket when the bloodweb changes are implemented.
