I want the option as killer to see which surv is in lobby as a duo, or as a full squad, simple as that.
Is not fair i always need to go against a full team with meta perks, strong items, gods at looping and knowledgeable at everything.
If i want a chill match i should be able to have one, so if i see the surv ar swf and i want a challenge i accept if i don't want to i don't and i go to another lobby.
Call me bad, tell me to git gud i don't care, i just want to have some relaxing matches, is not like that since 2019

Adding this option will make killers to avoid matches and aim for soloq exclusively.
If you have reached the state where you’re facing SWF it means exact the opposite - you are good.
Dealing with soloq at least LOL0 -
no

When you say you want a "chill match" for you or for everyone in the match?

Im having the same issue, its usually like a double duo aka 2+2 seperate duos joining and forming a swf thats really pain in the ass, sure one duo is worse than other but they usually still cordinate well with each other.
Thats my usual matches, i rarely get like a full solo q lobby its usually often trio + random or 2 duos
Thats usually how it goes for me because of my 70+ WR as michael and honestly im on PS5.
Like i have only almost 400 hours (includes surv and killer gameplay) i do own dbd on steam since 2018 but never really played it max 20 hours.
Either way just because i "play good" or i get people that overcommit to saves on hooks at 1st hook state and they offer me an option to go for double slug and hook 2 at once is not my fault i should not be placed higher because survivors just sabotage their own games.
I am not even that good at the game to deserve literal gods at loops and shack loopers that dont miss

"I want a chill match" means "I want to go against 4 Solos and have an easy game."…
Most SWFs are totally beatable and not a problem.

I dont know people have gotten really good at the games lately in 2025, your point might have a good standing ground back in 2019-2020 but since then people got upgrades, 144+hz monitors, reshade access, macros, other helping tools i wont name since idk if its allowed to speak about them and i think its unfair for me to say which tools to give even more people access for unfair advantage.
Point is killer does not have any external factor unlike SWFs.
My experience is hell mostly every 2nd or 3rd game i get where its 1 kill and punishing and bullying because i simply dont have ability to harm them across the pallet or through wall unlike some killers.
This comes down to the liability of m1 killers so yeah ill rather not go to the cursed rabbit hole of balancing in this post 🤣

I have been asking for a way to dodge Clown matches before I can queue into them, so when I get this function in my lobby, I will advocate for yours as well. Together, we can both increase queue times.

I mean here is the thing yes it would increase queue times by a load ton.
My suggestion which was few months ago was to add a system that detects if the said users are in a party and killers wont know this, matchmaking system will detect this and apply lesser stacking values if the system detects oh so this player is playing with those players who usually have a loss streak when they are on their own and if they play in a party i should apply some value changes to them.
Btw this is only if players in the said party are kinda levereging the match by a mile and the killer does not match their winning ratio when in combination, it would be in terms a "nerf" and a lot of people said that this is "punishing for playing with friends" but thats not it, you can still play but if the system detects its kind like gray zone borderline boosting and trying to screw with killer mmr system then it will apply

There is no place for a hybrid swf team that is doing a scummy move trying to play with friends who are not that good as them (no offense) but i mean in terms of map knowledge and killer knowledge and call outs and perk knowledge.
Againts a killer that wins their matches because survivor self sabotage or a good map rng.
I came across many squads that DCd in start gave me a win againts BOTS it boosted my mmr and now im stuck with not fun matches
People are doing this without even realizing because SBMM and proper MMR system is not in place, it simply cant be lets be real with that many players being active in game.

Hate to say this, but I genuinely cannot tell what you're arguing in favor of. Are you able to give a tl;dr?

The thing is, 4 good players in an SWF will almost be equally as hard to beat as those 4 good players when playing Solo. People really overestimate the impact of Comms, 99,99% of SWFs dont do any crazy Callouts or anything. I have seen 4 man SWFs who did not even talk about the game while playing (when I faced a Streamer who played with an SWF).
The main strength of SWF is that it filters out bad players. But if you get 4 good players, you will have an almost equally as hard time as facing 4 good players in an SWF.
And since you mention that it is 2025 and not 2019 anymore… Killer has become A LOT better over those years.4 -
I play in parties and we all die constantly. Parties don't mean they're sweaty or a bully squad or even good. It doesn't even mean they're on comms. My parties usually aren't. All that info would tell you is that a lot more people are in parties than you probably thought.

Im siding with OP but also not fully because what he wants would fully terrorize queue times.
What i said is to add a system that would prevent such behavior and unrealistic matchmaking, because i am fully aware what feeling OP has.
0 -
Okay yeah i fully agree with you on that, i rarely get those type of squads like where its fully full 99% call outs similar to tournament.
It happens probably once a day for me maybe twice but thats usually on large maps + killer pick since i do main myers.
Either way they still do call outs for killer location, which killer it is and such.
When they go for saves etc
I still struggle noticably like it feels so weird to me win 3-4k matches and then next match they are so cordinated i manage to only hook 1 person and they fight so well to save them it stresses me makes me sweat i just wanna come home from work and enjoy a match with michael

I myself when i play in a party its usually me and my other buddy and i dont have discord i kinda went incognito mode on social media.
So yeah i also play no comms but texting works well but not fast enough but still really well to stack perks and decide which perks
But yeah not always in a party mostly its 90% of matches i run soloq and have 53% escape rate
The thing is with survivor WR the calculation is way different, you need to escape either with hatch or gate.
Meanwhile killer u gotta get 3 kills which is (easier)

You're already doing more than me with perk coordinating. I've never discussed this with anyone. We all bring what we want.
1 -
Yeah we do fairly minimal i play on ps5 him and they play on pc so its kinda hard to type mid game but i get your point.
I just try to be supportive but yeah what i want to confirm is i had a friend who played since 2017 and sticked to dbd and had fair share of hours in game.
He used to kinda carry us with escape rates and when i would soloq i would always kinda indirectly suck at the game because my mmr did go sky high and this would go on and on until we stopped playing together

You can have a chill match whenever you want. Throw on your chill build, put on some music, and play the game.
What you don't get is the right to play chill and still have the same success rate as if you were try harding. That's true for both sides.

It shouldn't be used as a dodging tool

If you want chill matches don't 3-4K every easy game. Then you don't face swf as often.
0 -
Folks watch content creators doing escape streaks with their comp teams and assume that's what they're seeing in their games too
1 -
This but actual 4 man swfs are very rare so most games should be just chilling agains't solos maybe duos... But most killers still just sweat their hardest.
0 -
And then every killer will dodge every swf and queue times will be a complete nightmare. No thank you.
1 -
Of course only for me, i prefered before mmr, when sometimes i stomp surv and sometimes i get stomped by surv, now i only get stomp
0 -
Right? Like you have a match were survivors sabotage themselves and then the next 5 matchs are survivors gods that loop you on the same pallet for 3 minutes and then they go to next one
0 -
I don't know if you're trolling but if you're honest i agree, I'm okay with surv knowing which killer is before the match, only thing i think no one should be able to change loadout once in the lobby, no killer and no surv
1 -
I find them every match, i do 1 kill maybe 2 but my 90% of games are me not killing anyone and still getting good players lose after lose after lose, great matchmaking based on skill
0 -
Yeah, its funny, whenever you show them content creators and how well they do as Killer, the response is often "You cannot compare us to a person who is doing that for a living!"… But then the same person almost never goes against really strong teams, but they want to explain to me that they themselves go against very good 4 mans on a regular basis?
So either they are so good that they are on a special Server where not even the best content creators are playing or they are not entirely honest. (Or they are - because lets be real, if you are a bad player even mediocre players might look extremely good)

Killer queues are long enough as it is without 75% of killers backing out when they see anything other than 4 solos.
Also i think this would make the game harder for killers in the long run as this would kill the 90% of the playerbase that's in the "play once a month with 1-3 friends that have a combined 150 hours" category.
I agree with showing it in the end game screen but showing it in the pregame causes more problems than it solves.

Killers have somehow gaslit themselves into thinking any altruism from survivors means they're a 4 man SWF. As someone that DOESNT play in 4mans, I am extremely altruistic. I'll die for a my teammate to live because I don't really care about escaping or not.
So many times a random will pallet save me or do something awesome and then end game killer will go "sweaty 4 man". Nah dude, some people are just altruistic, deal with it. I will guarantee you, you aren't getting matched with 4 man comp SWF every match.
When I do duo we aren't like "gen 5 o clock, killer XYZ" it's more like "Hey have you heard about the Pirate Software drama going on, yap yap yap"1
