Hypothetical: The DC penalty remains and is made harsher BUT everyone can pick two killers to avoid…

For clarity, I do not believe the DC penalty should ever be removed. I also don’t think selecting killers to avoid is the healthiest idea, but I am curious to see if people could certain avoid killers entirely in their matchmaking who you guys would pick. In being given this choice as well you have to accept that your DC penalties will increase to a minimum of 15 minutes for DC 1 and it doubles with each game. So you can have two killers you’ll never see again but you take the longer DC’s as a trade- you who going for? Or are you happy facing any killer on the roster?

I thought about this because away from just not liking certain killers because they’re subjectively un-fun, I am sympathetic to the idea that some people hate facing certain killers and forcing these people to play these matches is tricky as it’s not always about “boo hoo I don’t like Pinhead so I’m going to throw a tantrum and DC”. For example, I play with a friend who cannot stand Plague due to themselves feeling physically ill at the sight of vomit, so I know they would pick Plague for a pretty good reason.

To answer my question though, I’d probably go with the obvious answers of Skull Merchant and Legion. These matches are generally the height of boredom for me personally when playing survivor.

    no, we shouldn't punish people just because they want to play some killer

    all the more it means that swf will be able to block 8 strong killers and will specifically go only against weak ones

    Why dont we just make the DC penalty harsher, keep people free to play the Killer they want, wait for bHVR to fix the Killers that need changes and tell Survivors who dont get it how to play vs the Killer?

    I feel like people are definitely misreading my post. I would also like to question why the mods have moved this from general as I am in no way suggesting this as a feature- I’m asking people if they could would they avoid playing against certain killers and who those killers would be.


    @Rizzo can you please explain why this was moved. Feels like you read the title and not the actual post.
