Please don't listen to the vocal minority

I am 100% in favor of this change so long as it applies to survivors, too. I may be a filthy survivor main but I know damn well people will abuse the last second switch to bring flashlights or their decked out p3 survivors. This will make it so you simply do not press the button to queue up until you have decided your load out completely. That's how it works in DBD mobile and it's just fine.

I actually like this idea -- get killer ranks, and you have a narrow band of eligibility when you join a match, but you can select any killer within that band.

As a survivor main, I would agree to lock both sides. Mostly I'm tired of killers dodging lobbies just because I'm holding something that killers consider offensive to them. Or because some random teammate wears bright colored outfits. I mean if I can't dodge your moris (I get mori games every few matches) then killers shouldn't be able to dodge me just because I'm holding a (broken) key.

Sometimes when I'm playing SWF, we'd ready up slowly in order for killers not to feel threatened by readying up too quickly and leave lobby. Lol.

So now I'm 'crying' cuz I think that something isn't right about the game that's taken this long to change its rank system. If people didn't 'cry' as you put it we would still be at square one with god loops, huge maps, broken mechanics. I'm going to hold dbd devs accountable to the mistakes because I genuinely want this game to get better. But it isn't if we keep turning a blind eye to all the crap choices made by the devs. There doing good things now and when they do I'll praise them when they do dumb things I'll say something about it. It's not crying, I just want a fair balanced game. I'm so sick of people saying crap like oh stop crying, it's toxic people like that who bring this community down.

Ima killer main and I don’t see a problem with this at all, killers are the biggest cry babies on this game hands down. They complain about EVERYTHING.

No, its you actually who bring the community down. This is a good thing and that's why i said you are crying. You wanted better matchmaking? Well i guess this is the way to make it better. It should be like this. Killer is locked and that's it. If he's good with that killer he gets better team and vice versa.

I don't mind the killer lock, maybe it will make it more interesting than a group of rank 17 survivors going against a rank 1 killer. (Happens a lot to my group or at least high rank killers) I personally don't think survivors shouldn't be locked right away. The reason behind this is because if I load into a lobby with three Bill's, I don't want to use bill at all then and want to switch. Also locking survivors when they hit look for lobby is a crappy idea ai think. This is due to waiting at least four minutes looking for a match that I go through my survivors to level them up and change their outfits and stuff.

The issue is say you're in lobby, and then during the last few secs everyone switches to a char holding a toolox or a flashlight, you can't equip Franklin's and now you're probably in for a very unfun or tryhard game.

Doubt you play him that much

Not saying your opinions on the matter, don't matter. But not as much as someone who actually plays him.

The only reason for the lock is to benefit killers so they can get to learn new characters and get better with them. There is no point to locking survivors because the skill level doesn't change with different killers. As for cheating software, I've literally never heard of that until this post
