Fixable Lobby Issue

Hi everybody! So I'm a longtime player and visitor of the forums, but I decided to finally make an account, and for my first post, I decided to share an idea for a tweak in the game that's simple, and I think would be really fair!

When I play as a survivor, I have had many matches with some great killers, but also some killers that use strategies that can really downgrade the quality of gameplay as a survivor. Now, as a killer, you are able to see the usernames of the survivors you are up against while in the lobby. And so, if you are facing a toxic survivor that has really ruined your experiences in matches before, you have the option to leave the lobby and not play with this person.

In so many words: I think that survivor players should also be able to see the username of the killer player. I completely respect the vision of the devs, with the survivors not knowing what killer they are up against. And, I think this vision should be preserved! So, the killer that the player chooses should remain invisible in the lobby to the survivors. But, just adding the killer's user in a corner of the screen or something would give survivor players the even opportunity to leave the lobby if they recognize the killer player tends to be a camper, or use any sort of toxic/unfair strategies.

If this is not possible and would prove to be a difficult fix, I think a good alternative would be to make the survivor player names invisible to the killer, so the same equality is established. Even if the killer can still see the survivor characters, the names would just be invisible until post-match, when everyone can see each others' names (This route would also eliminate the risk of killers bringing revenge mori's if they happen to be reconnected to a certain survivor in a second match).

I think this is a super easy fix that doesn't require a huge change, but would give an equal opportunity for both killers and survivors to save their sanity before going into the match! What do you guys think?
