Stop frigging dodging lobbies
Honestly, almost every single lobby I got in the past hour was dodged. You want to play killer but you chicken out because... I don’t know why to be honest. If you can’t take it, go play something else.
it’s really frustrating.

DBD wasn't designed with survivor communication in mind. By playing SWF you're essentially cheating. If a killer doesn't want to deal with that bs, that's their prerogative. If you want to gain an unfair advantage in the game, you can put up with longer queue times.

Mhm if so many killers chicken out, maybe that's because they don't feel powerful enough?
You can just play killer on your own, ez fix14 -

Whoever mentioned SWF? Why do you assume they leave because of that when we all joined at different moments? LoLThatDidact said:DBD wasn't designed with survivor communication in mind.

I get dodged when playing solo, LOTS of times. Killers who tend to dodge just use any excuse to keep doing that.@ThatDidact said:DBD wasn't designed with survivor communication in mind.

Exactly.
this is the first time in months I turn off my PS4 because I don’t feel like playing DBD.1 -
I mostly play survivor, but I have Nurse, Leatherface, and Legion all up to level 40 (with other killers ranging between 15 and 30). If I see a full lobby spawn at the same time, or I see a full lobby of invisible Claudettes, or I see everyone equipping a toolbox, I leave. Why go into something I know won't be fun at all for me? It takes ~10sec to requeue.

People dodge when they don't want to play stressful games or games they see as unfair.
If I see 4 people join a lobby at the same time, all playing the same character, dressed the same, all using the same item, all with the same name, I'm out, and I'm making a new lobby, I do not feel bad about it at all XD
Same if a large streamer Joins, I don't want to be Judged while playing, I just wanna play.
Playing killer is already stressful, and I wanna have fun with it, not be stressed out.
Likewise, Twice now I've had multiple players DC upon finding out I'm playing The Legion, So This isn't a Killer only issue.
There's nothing wrong with people not wanting to play stressful games, I understand why they DCed against me as The Legion, And I Understand why Killers dodge lobbies.
This is just part of dead by daylight, Imo.9 -

SWF makes so many survivor perks useless because you can just talk and coordinate way to well. Can't blame a killer for dodging that especially when you don't know if the killer has already played several games against SWF and your lobby happened to be the one they drew the line at. Play killer every once in a while and play against several SWF in a row and see how enjoyable it is. The game leans more towards balanced when there are no SWF but low rank solos can still destroy a killer.

If you don't like being dodged, you can always play killer. You get a lobby in like 10 seconds flat. Maybe when you get to lower ranks you will start to understand why some killers start to dodge lobbies after a while when they have played against to many SWF.

I'll only dodge if a real life event comes up (since I won't be able to finish the game that I've started) and high ping lobbies (I really hate P2P connection). I won't dodge for any other reason, others should do the same.0

If you want to gain an unfair advantage in the game, you can put up with longer queue times.I would like to point out that, for one, the devs have said that survive with friends was intended from the start.
Secondly, they are deliberately making a change to the matchmaking system so that all survivors load in at the same time: SWF or not, they all appear together.
And to the OP, I dodge if the match seems like a pain in the ass (several flashlights? That's going to be obnoxious), or the ping is WAY too high on one survivor or more. Teleporting survivors is not ok.

A lot of people in this forum are saying that they get dodged super often, while I just get dodged from time to time. I wonder why.

Killers are the power role, killers cherrypick ez matches.
HILARIOUS. 😂Sounds to me like you just need to get better. If you are the same Rank and you consider his match against you to be an "easy" one, you don't deserve the Rank you hold.
If you are the same Rank as the Killer, him dodging lobbies is no excuse for why you lost your match. For all you know, he dodged 10 lobbies before you. If he beat you, he's still better than you.

I personally don't dodge, i face all kind of survivors and items. The ones who dodge are the ones who need to get better.
Nice try anyway.3 -
Maybe they are dyslexic and dodge because they interpret your name wrong...1

I only very rarely dodge lobbies (maybe once in 20 matches) but I often find myself thinking: "Oh man, if only I knew that earlier...!"
My guess is that Killers experienced many of such situations and therefore started to pay more attention in the lobby, trying to avoid anything that could possibly lead to frustrating matches.
It's very similar to Survivors blocking certain Killers with MLGA to avoid them. Actually, I think MLGA is much worse because it takes it to a personal level by blocking a specific IP while typical lobby dodgers just look at the current lobby and dodge it if they don't feel confident about it. They don't care if you get into the same lobby one hour later, unless you really messed up and they remember your name.

I only lobby dodge due to high ping, as lag is no fun. Also on xbox, I have noticed a lot of my survivor games we all join same time, giving killer impression of SWF. Need a SWF flag0

Well if you wan't a "relaxing" killer game, i can understand dodging clear SWF groups (people who basically have the same name, don't be so obvious then)
But most lobby dodging on my end is from people who don't leave themselves when they have terrible connections (please don't play online games with wireless internet BTW, it can cause lag spikes even if you have an otherwise good connection with the host).0 -

don't have 3 or 4 toolboxes, cuz killers will dodge that lobby since gens get done way too quick without toolboxes, so when a killer sees 2-4 toolboxes ofc he will either get franklins or dodge. i rather dodge than have 1 perk slot removed cuz of franklins

In this post there are always people exaggerating.
When playing survivor I get dodged about once every 20 games.
If you get dodged so frequently maybe you are the problem, not the killer, maybe you have adquired disrepute for something. Try changing your name ingame.1 -

I dont dodge 4 man swf because usally there is one good carrier with significantly worse players. Two 2 man swf are a lot more scary. Also i love 4 man flashlight lobbys. They barely work on generators and follow me everywhere, so I never have to look for them.
The only thing i dodge on a regularly base are certain usernames. If you call yourself "mr.d**kinyourmom95", i assume that you do not have the best character and manners. These are usally the people who refuse to leave the game or insult you if you kill them.

I was about to make another post too : Survivors, stop frigging disconnecting and ruining the game for the rest. Because it’s been happening every single game, if any, I get to play.

Sorry but if I see 4 people loading in at once I know it's going to be a stressful unfun game, Not something I'm willingly going to put myself into. When SWF is balanced then I'll have no problem.
and I get not all SWF are Toxic but in my experience 9 times out of 10 they are and I'm also up against red ranks when I'm in green.

I mostly dodge SWFs, and not normally because of clothes or equipment, -but- I can see why they would see the med kit, and flashy clothes and be wary.
Flashy bright clothes usually indicates a decoy/distraction/runner. Someone who loops like a pro, or is keen on running a killer for 3 gens, or some such.
Medkit=insta heal these days.
I can imagine a worst case scenario in a killer seeing that, and maybe thinking you have dead hard.
I cannot imagine a killer having fun chasing a pro runner who can also dead hard and instaheal.
It's like in nature. The bright stuff is usually a warning.
My advice might be to, if you aren't, wear what you want, and maybe not carry equipment.
At least wait until the lobby loads to see what's going on before loading up an item.
A killer sees 3 people load in at the same time, and they have 2 toolboxes and a med kit, or a flashlight, then you appear with a med kit, and they might just see a red flag.
Edit: Misread. Thought you said you have Nea in bright yellow clothes.1 -
Think some survivors are looking for killer friends just to farm or whatever, it happens to often, killers might dodge survive with friends but survivors might dodge to find their friends, either side is an annoying deal with0

Dont worry they wont be able to dodge once the servers arrive in the Summer. Then they wiill have to ''suck it up'' who they face.

I also don't dodge but I don't feel the need to force people to play the way I want.
Because there is no other reason to dodge a lobby and I never told people "how to play". I only said that you should only dodge in these scenarios (and that's why I said, "Others should do the same") because these are legitimate reasons to dodge while others just dodge for the stupidest reasons.
It's ridiculous with how many people dodge for the most stupidest reasons in my opinion:
2 Flashlights? Dodge.
3+ Toolboxes and afraid of BNP? Dodge.
3+ Med-Kits and afraid of Instaheal? Dodge.
3+ P3 Claudettes or Legacy survivors? Dodge.
Someone has a key? Crap! Dodge.
If you see this, instead of dodging (not staying you are dodging, just a PSA for everyone) then use YOUR items. Bring in your add-ons or offerings to balance things out, they are there for a reason, namely, strength!
Lastly, why is dodging a problem?
You may not think dodging is a problem but if you waited 10 minutes to get a game just to get sent back to the lobby and wait another 10 minutes. That's 20 minutes just to find a game, that's double than you normally had to wait. Usually dodging isn't a problem for fast game times but it's devastating for the people who have long wait times.1 -
I know it sucks to be dodged, but I'm trying to figure out where it is, or how it is survivors are entitled to make a killer play something they don't find fun in favor of matches they do find fun.
And as a survivor I've probably ran inti my fair share of depipped ######### killers that have no chill since I stay in the prime target ranks.
Doesn't matter why they dodge. Bad ping, swf, invisible team of Claudettes, clones, flashlights, they gotta go pee all of a sudden, you do not get to force a killer to play against someone they feel will make them miserable.
Why the ######### would they?
What gives you, or your teammates the entitlement to make the killer miserable?
The fact that you can make killers so miserable that they dodge at all should say something about how supposedly strong killers are.
I mean seriously, I get it. It sucks to be dodged. It sucks for SWFs to have to redo their lobby, but maybe consider the fact that enough ######### have burned the killer, and now you are paying for it.
And yeah, I know survivors don't get to pick, but DBD is a horror game. The killer is supposed to be an unknown terror.
If killers were known ahead of time, I can about guarantee survivors would dodge legions, Billy, nurse, spirit, or who ever else is their own personal boogeyman.
#########, I know I hate Doctors, and Wraiths. No chill hyper tracking ass mofos. Would I dodge? I don't know.
And stop suggesting killers bring stuff like Moris. Some of us actually lack those.
I know I have less than 5 moris of any type across all my killers.
I don't have Franklin's demise, I don't have bbq, I don't have lightborn teachable (who does that other than some of the most bored completioninsts? And a full perk to gamble on if some ######### wants to blind us at every pallet break? Or finds one in a chest? Trying to figure out what perk a survivor has to run to outright stop a killer tactic.) So that advice is useless.
Not directed at anyone in particular, just ranting to get it out of my system.
