Would you like to see offerings for the survs that allow to not to play against a specific killer?

I don't think it's a stupid idea. Personally, I would really like to not have Deathslinger in my game, and it would likely cut down on DCs as you say.

The problem I see is that people playing killer also have the right to expect that they're going to get the play the character they bought. If you allow people to opt out of playing with them, their queue time and potentially their matchmaking gets worse because of someone else's choice -- not theirs.

That would just push the child mentality in this game even more. We already have rage quitting survivors back and forth for no real reasons. I don't think it is a good idea to support these kinds of attitudes. People need to accept that there are games that don't play out the way they want them to. You can't just skip everything that you don't like. That's not how life works. And you don't learn anything from it. People who DC against certain types of killers will never improve in the game.

Everyone is responsible for their own fun in the end. Yes, a camping bubba isn't fun but instead of raging just accept it and move on. There will be other games. But if your fun is so dependant on the behaviours of others then it's better to stop playing Multiplayer games all together.

You are right. Games are a distraction and something we all want to enjoy. And there are a lot of people who genuinely look forward at the end of their work day to enjoy a Spirit, Freddy, Nurse (you can continue this list if you want) game. If an offering to prevent going against a certain killer would exist, that would take away the fun of the killers mains too because they would have extremely long queues. The only possibility to play this game then would be to switch to a "weaker" killer because survivors will most likely not dodge the killers they can loop around the whole entire map. And this isn't fun for the killler mains. Eventually killers would be all dying out. (And yes. There are a lot of killers that people don't want to play against but you need to take everyones opinion into occasion if you want to improve their game experience. With that being said all four survivors would throw four individual offerings and all of them would count. So the four most hated killers are already out of the game. And people have very similar opinions about the killers they don't like. If we would apply this scenario to a SWF that wants to win, they would make sure to take out the four most strongest killers and only weaker killers would be able to play against them. Killers would then never switch to the weaker killers because they know that they would get bullied into the ground)

You said it: we have 21 killers because everyone enjoys something different. That goes not only for the survivor side. And there are killers that are played more than others because they can keep up with the current game meta. If the meta will change, the killers will change too. It doesn't work the other way around though. Nerfing killers, nerfing killer perks or completely erasing certain killers from the game will lead to a dead killer playerbase. (And yes, implementing an option to dodge certain killers is equal to erasing them because let's be real: most survivors would prefer a Pig game over a Spirit game)

So I would suggest: if a game has things that you don't like then don't play it. It's very simple. No one is forcing people to play DBD and play against killers they find too "OP" for whatever reasons.

The unpredictability of this game is what makes it interesting. Not having control over what kind of killer you might be getting, how your teammates will be playing and how the game will turn out is what makes DBD interesting. Each choice of each indivual player will affect the outcome and that also includes unpleasant scenarious. But instead of having a " I DC if I don't like it" mentality why not turn that mentality into a "I will try to improve and do the best I can" mentality?

I can even speak from my own experiences. I play a lot of different killers. I play strong killers and weaker killers and I enjoy all of them. But unfortunately, since the DC penality is not activated anymore, there are a lot of survivors who DC. Not because of the killers I play. It only takes one hit, a quick chase, outplaying someone or finding someone too quickly. Sometimes they even DC to not give me PGTW. There are endless reasons why people are DC'ing and giving survivors the option to dodge killers won't prevent that because in the end it all comes down to one thing: They think this is a 1vs1 game and if the game doesn't get their way they rage quit. It doesn't matter if it is a Spirit that outplayed them or a Clown. They have the mentality, so they will DC. That's why I said that it's a bad idea to support babies because they are babies. They have never learned to lose and they will probably never learn it. If they see the game the wrong way, then that's their problem. It's a 1 vs 4 game and it revolves around teamplay and not a "I can loop this killer for 5 gens alone" game. But that's fun for survivors, right? Feeling superior, long chases where the killer can only get them with good mindgames and good game knowledge. Well...long chases are great but sadly the game isn't balanced for that.

It's not a solution to support a mentality problem, or to make it more specific: a negative focus problem.

I have a friend who can't play DBD without complaining at least once every single game because he is giving is full attention to all the flaws this game is having. He played very actively in the start but he stopped a few months ago. He was purposely making the game unfun for himself and he wasn't even aware of it. But his case is also not the fault of the game or the devs for having bad game design, questionable hit boxes and camping killers. It's completely up to him.

Don't get me wrong. There are things that needs to be changed and things that are frustrating in this game but there are also things that are only based on indivual opinions. Not wanting to play against certain killers is an opinion, a mentality, but not something that needs to be addressed. No killer in this game is unbeatable. There is never a reason to DC. Never.

The answer to this problem is actually very simple and it's called "Uninstall" or "Try to improve". There are only two options. Sure, people can cry alot and eventually behaviour will nerf all the killers that can do something against the current gen rush problem but that will have drastic consequences. The game in general needs a rework, that's for sure, but until then we have to accept how the game is.

One thing though: I said that life doesn't work that way. That you can't alway skip things that you don't like. And yes, you can skip everything you want in your free time. You can decide what kind of game you want to play. But the sad reality is that the perfect game doesn't exist. There will be always something that is unfun or not pleasant. It's up to each indiviual how high their tolerance is for unpleasant things until they will lose their interest in a game.

I don't think this would be a good idea, because it would increase the waiting times a lot and also survivors should not have the power to choose whose killers they don't want to face, like the killers should not be able to choose what survivors equip, for example. What I got from your post is the problem with people DCing against killers they don't like to play against. Well, that is the survivors fault, not the killer.

Everyone should be able to play as the killer or survivor they want and if a survivor keeps DCing because they don't like certain killers, then maybe the should just stop playing. If my friends started DCing like that I would tell them to stop doing it or stop playing with me, because it would also hinder how the match would go for me. I had a friend that would always DC if he got downed and it was his last hook. I told him to stop, because he could be saved, we could maybe block the killer or those seconds could buy the others time to finish gens and escape. While he resisted, eventually he understood we were right and stopped doing it.

People saying that the game would instantly die need to chill a bit. A lot of games have a ban system and it works just fine. I do see why it would be a problem for queue times and such, though. But I can't deny it would be nice to be able not to play against the fifth Freddy/Spirit in a row.

I feel like overall the real solution to this would be Behavior actually balancing the weaker killers to make them stronger (and nerfing the strongest a bit, just a bit don't yell at me) so that playing the game wouldn't be an endless loop of facing the same handful of killers over and over again. Killer mains who are actually interested in winning would be able to play whichever killer they like and there would be more variety overall. Introducing killer bans sounds like a uhh... patch-like solution??? to a problem that lies elsewhere (balance).

What the hell is PH? I just went through all the killers and didn't find anything.

I change my vote into no

That's the stupidest idea I've ever heard and i have joe biden for a president.

Besides if you did 95/100 times your going to end up skipping the match.

That's what makes the game fun... The surprise!

I shouldn't have to stop playing a killer simply because a survivor doesn't like it.

See, for me I’d instantly ban Bubba because I’ve never faced one that doesn’t facecamp. Even after his rework that was “supposed to reduce facecamping”. Spirit as well because although you can hear her when she’s invisible and close to you, I feel it’s unfair that she can see exactly where I am when I’m bleeding but I have absolutely no clue where she’s coming from or what side of me she’s on. But, if you’re asking this question, I think that you should think about WHY people want to ban those killers and work on those suggestions rather than just letting people avoid them.
