Lobby Dodging VS Disconnecting in match (would love a Dev response)

The whole game lasted 7 minutes give or take, nobody scored points it doesn't make any sense to play like that. Boring games

"Rules for thee and not for me."

You're basically saying it's okay for killers to dip out of a match that looks unpleasant, but survivors should just suck it up and play a match against an unpleasant setup.

If this DC system is going in as it is, then lobby dodging either needs to be treated to the same penalty, or the survivors need to see what the killer is, the quality of the addons, and if there's a mori.

Otherwise you are going to have a lot of suicides on your hands.

What I was saying is that lobby dodging shouldn't matter, because you should find games fast. I don't think Survivors need any more info, but things need to be made a little more fun.

Because Killers need that basic info, they are under time pressure and should know if they need to switch things up.

Survivors hold the power in the early game, they do not need more info, at least at that stage of the game. Rework the stuff that isn't fun but keep it strong.

Basically, don't do what was done to Prayer Beads.

Because part of the experience is that killers are supposed to have greater initial information, and survivors are supposed to be unaware of who the killer is. The lobby is intentionally arranged this way.

There's also a difference between avoiding players who are intentionally being rude, and avoiding a game just because you don't like a certain mechanic. Killers are punished just as much as survivors are if they DC because players are using mechanics they don't like.

That's part of playing Survivor tho. You don't know quite what you are gonna get. They aren't meant to have a ton of info at base. That gives them a lot of power.

If you can think of a way to allow killer information to be hidden while also giving survivors the needed information to know a match will be unpleasant before it even starts, feel free to suggest it. The only thing I can really think of is to show in pre-game lobby whether a mori is equipped, but even that would be giving survivors information they shouldn't necessarily have, since that would tell them whether a hidden offering is a mori or a shroud.

Ah, gotcha. No worries, you're good. The name would be almost totally fine, except you could make a stronger prediction about who they might pick if you've played with them enough. But, well, that's a strong call to make, especially if you're playing against a bunch of folks. So yeah, showing the name would be good.

Some irony to this is that the lobby used to show survivors rank to each other, and survivors would lobby dodge all the time. They joined a lobby, didn't like the way it looked, and left. Same thing imo.

Killers can and do harass you if they remember you. I had The Clown face camp me until the end because the previous match I dared to use DS on him lol I got him a third time an hour later and again face camped. If I knew The Killer was the same person, I would've just dodged his lobby due to past problems.On the topic of actually seeing The Killer's character selection, that will never happen. It would be too much information but I think it would be fair to see their username/ID or simply eliminate anyone from seeing this information in the lobby.

Why are Killers able to see the survivors and their addons in Lobbies, but Survivors cant see what killer they're facing?

Because the game is massively in the Survivors favor when the trial first starts, the Killer needs that information. Giving Survivors that info will cause an even larger imbalance of power than we already have

You're missing the point. Killers get the option to bail on games they don't like the look of. Survivors don't. So as long as we have to load into a game before finding out it's going to be a waste if time, there will be DC's. Or suicides now that the DC penalty is back.

I understand that survivors shouldn't be able to tailor their perks to the killer chosen, but they should get the option to bounce if the killer can see what the survivors have.

Either both sides get the opportunity to bounce without penalty or neither should. Otherwise the system is unfair inherently.

I got on last night on xbox trying to do survivor challenges and took almost an hour to play one match. I rarely bring items and just use what I find but between the errors, lobby dodges and dcs during the match loading it literally took 6 or 7 tries for me to get into a match. This match went like this for me. first one hooked, tunneled, mori, gg. Almost an hour waiting for 2 mins of game time lol

Yeah it's a viscous circle

"Killers can leave if there's a survivor that has harassed them in the past."

Yet a survivor can't leave should there be a killer that has harassed them in the past. That's by definition picking favorites. Why not remove names completely? There's really no need for anyone to see that sort of thing. Just have it as the character's name. Meg Thomas, Dwight Fairfield, Claudette Morel, Jake Park, etc.

Maybe not as much... But it wouldn't take a huge portion out of the d/c's
