I'd like to request an additional lobby choice...
Getting right to it...
I'd like to see a lobby choice that groups survivors and killer regardless of rank, and no more than 2 grouped friends. So 2 groups of 2 friends would be possible. This lobby option simply finds the best connection between players who are ready to go, places them in a match together, and it goes.
As an example:
Survivors; Rank 20, 2, 14, and 10.
Killer; Rank 12
All players understand that the lobby is a mixture and they are just there to play the game. Call it "Casual Play" if you want. No need for separate perks, add ons, and offerings. Allow for some type of bonus to BPs if you want to offset the rank disparity, but even I don't think that's necessary.
I'm currently frustrated with the game. I'm rank 13, at best...but I win enough at rank 13 to get thrown up into rank 12 where I get totally destroyed. So I wait, on average, about 8 minutes to get a group, if they are SWF, I'll be lucky to SEE a survivor before 2 gens are completed. They run around, do their thing, gates get powered, out they go, I de-pip enough times, and back to rank 13, where the wait time is still about 8 minutes, but I can get roughly 2 or 3 kills....which bumps e back up to rank 12 (sometimes as high as 11), repeat the whole process over again.
The disparity between my piped "wins" and my de-pip losses is huge! When I pip, as I said, I might get 2 or 3 kills....when I lose, it's MAYBE 3 hooks....not kills, just a damn hook.
Now I'm completely fine with not being skilled, good, or whatever you want to call it. It's NOT my ambition to be the best killer in DBD, make money streaming, or top of the "leader boards". I JUST WANT TO PLAY THE DAMN GAME! But when the lobby wait is longer than the damn match...I'm seriously thinking about playing Civilization for a while, and coming back when this whole thing gets figured out. I'm perfectly fine with not getting a 4k, or even a 2k....but you have to understand, I'm waiting for a lobby to just get utterly destroyed. My ego is fine...I can readily admit that I'm outmatched. I don't even care to go into or examine the reasons why. I'm saying I want to play DBD, I don't like waiting for a lobby.
Oh, and one more thing....why do I, as a killer, rank 12 get survivors at rank 4? Rank 8? Rank 7? Why don't I ever get survivors BELOW my rank? I mean it happens, but I suspect only because of SWF. As a killer, rank 12...I've yet to see a survivor 6 ranks below mine (rank 18), yet I see survivors 6 ranks higher (rank 6) ALL the time.
Please just give us a casual lobby where NO rank is awarded, or considered, and people can just play the game. If you need justification for this perceived imbalance, don't most horror movies have an "obvious" victim. Someone awkward or unlucky?
How about a new perks then? Killer perk called "Bitches be trippin". Give the killer an active button like Dead Hard, that when activated, and within 10m of a survivor, the killer activates it, survivors stumble with reduced movement speed for 2 seconds.
No really, "Casual Lobby" please. No ranks, no pips, matchmaking based on connection and ready status. Just load and go. Thank you.
