Evidently Very Controversial. Should Killers Be Able to See Survivors in Lobby?

    I don't understand your point?

    How does seeing someones profile help someone determine whether others are toxic? Killers mostly dodge "SWF" simply if the players load in together. Hiding profiles from the killers does NOTHING except stop killers targeting certain players.

    the only one protecting toxicity is you.

    You are a lost cause. Just get back to your Ochido marathon.

    You can't refute my point so obviously I must watch Ochido, good job on actually being the toxic one.

    No you didn't, you didn't give one benefit to seeing profiles and just said it prevents SWF.

    When we all know killers dodge SWF based on load times, people who are actually hiding that they're SWF hide their friendslist for extra measure.

    and if people put their names to something similar they certainly aren't hiding the fact they're SWF.

    Literally 0 benefit to letting killers see profiles other than toxic benefits like hunting someone down by checking if they've changed their names.

    imagine pretending you've made relevant points when all you've said is "GO BE AN OCHIDO FANBOY REEEEEEE"

    Yet another brag of on sided players. Killers should actually see who is in swf and there should be penalty for dodging.

    Why make the game balanced so that killers don't have a reason to dodge when you can simply punish killers for lobby dodging? People who make this suggestion should start to play killer seriously for a while (that doesn't mean occasional matches on yellow ranks).

    If killers weren't allowed to dodge lobbies anymore, survivors would start to bring a full loadout of toolboxes or several insta-heals every match. And for a killer, it would not make sense to play these matches. A lot of people would simply stop playing killer, and then the survivor queues would become insanely long and then a big part of the playerbase leaves.

    You just call people ochido fanboys or whatever while you yourself say stuff like "most survivors are toxic" and have some sort of hate boner for youtubers/streamers?

    You either have an extremely loose definition of the term toxic, or fell for the negativity bias trap hook, line and sinker. Either work on your persecution complex or quit the game for your own good.

    There's little point in showing names and profiles. Anyone that's any smart at all will just avoid matching names/cosmetics and make their friends list/profile private if they genuinely want to grief. And that's without bringing up cringy garbage like killers putting people on their "mori list" or survivors putting other survivors on their "sandbag/do not save list" based on their names.

    Meh, at most I'd say Killers shouldn't be able to see the profile names and link to their profiles for Survivors. Not a huge deal though.

    Only positive of removing seeing the Survivor is those ANNOYING Leatherface players who switch to him when they see a Jake to face camp him "cause I need the cosmetic." Makes you feel punished for not being another Meg/Nea/Claud.

    People actually thinking access to names and profiles is necessary..
