Random Mode

Have the dev's considered a random mode?

Basically I want the lobby to just show 5 players, and the killer and survivors are determined when the match is set. Players would need to set up their top builds prior, and maybe they have a "pick 3" choice, where it will only randomize between 3 survivors and 3 killers. Or maybe its just between all your survivors and killers, and leveling up different ones makes your odds better that match.

Or maybe a 'random killer' mode that awards more BP to the killer for taking the risk. I feel like I'm playing against the same few killers all the time when I'm survivor.

    I made a similar suggestion a few months back but feedback I got was that players would just quit if they didn't get the role they want.

    I really like the idea of a lobby of 5 players with one randomly chosen to be killer. Not so sure about the random perks but though.

    @Tragic_Johnson If one was going to quit if they didn't get the role they wanted, they wouldn't be entering random matches to begin with...


    I think this mode would do a great deal to calm the toxicity. Its the 'casual' mode people want.

    If we could somehow guarantee it wouldn't mess up queue times by splitting the playerbase I'd love it personally. Already sorta do it myself with online randomizers, but having everyone be all random and pulling out surprises would be fun.

    I feel there'd be people that wouldn't be able to get in quite the right casual mindset that'd be required for such a mode though. I can already imagine the "no mither = dc" or "no ruin = dc" instances.

    If a person gets an underleveled character, their incentive to DC just went through the roof.

    If it's a "Pick 3" mode, then that's just not worth making a whole new mode for.

    But that's why your playing it... Why would dc if you didn't want a random character?

    Because even if they choose that mode, it doesn't stop people from disliking certain characters.


    I don't like Nurse & all "lay down traps" Killers.

    But i own all Killers, no doubt i'd get them at some point.

    Now i'm not one to DC, but it'd sure discourage me from choosing that mode.

    People already DC over silly stuff like bringing a certain Perk, Item, the looks, which Killer, just not wanting to give the Mori animation, etc. etc.
