Please Remove Ping Icon from game

I play from South Africa and on PC. My internet connection is Fine.
As i have Fiber with minimum 50Mb up and Download speeds. .

That is all good and well, but if you do not have many people locally playing, you will be connecting to people further away, meaning that your connection will be worse due to latency. If this is the case it is a geographical issue, not the games.

I like the ping indicator. Makes it so I don't accidentally start playing with someone in a different hemisphere.

I have had a few Survivors that have clearly been living on the moon with some of the lag I have seen.

All it does is add More dodgers to Que times.
I have played on ping of well over 500 before and there is no noticeable difference in game play ...
Also fix Your Que algorithm, This whole 30 minute Que for killer is really Destroying this game for me.

If I am waiting longer than 5 minutes in a Que you need to fix how this is handled

Remove ping and it will increase the DC rate by 300%. I would stop playing the game because even in the current state, there are Dcs everygame basically

This since last night I had a game where 1 survivor was literally skipping across the screen at times. The killer and the rest of us kept getting rubber banded back and forth for a good 10 minutes. It took the game that long because it was pretty much impossible to do anything normally for ether side.

When the Meg got hooked and couldn't run anywhere anymore the game ran smoothly, we unhooked her and it was horrible again. I've played against killers from Korea and China but their ping has been fine because of time game played. But at other times I've had games where one side or the other has people playing from Saturn.

No need to exaggerate, but assuming that there would be a glasfibre connection to the moon, then a 1k ping would be realistic. Its actually quite funny when you think about that

Ok that was a little over the top but the point is still true that when someone is basically skipping across the screen it's bad fro everyone. I had about 15 lobbies including several in a row where I had 600+ ping upon connecting to killers lobby. As a killer I had a few that got kicked due to close to 1k ping by the system itself.

Goign to be honest an use League of Legends as an Example...
Ping Icons used to lead to a lot Trolling in games.
IT was removed and no one cared either way but the Ping Trolls stopped. .

Honestly the only time you are even Humanly possibly going to notice ping is when it is above the 500 threshold.
which is 500 milliseconds...
Ping does not often indicate the The stability or Quality of the conection as often as not it simply defines how far you are away from your host

That's a completely different game where your ping to the server is the same connection as everyone elses, if you lag, they dont. Dbd  is different, if the killer lags, we all lag. 

I played league of legends for a VERY long time and dont know what this ping trolling you're talking about even is. Wed talk ######### to people who took days to load, or farm them if they go afk under a tower, but it's one person, not the entire game. 

Hiding the ping would just make people leave in game, screwing the remaining survivors to finish the work instead of waiting for a new lobby. 

And not notice unless its above 500? I'm sorry you're used to ######### connections my friend. 200 is about my max. And that's on games that dont require quick moment to moment movements or reactions. Even at 150 you can see rubber banding when animations start, you get unhooked, they swing and hit you from 20 feet away, etc. Just because people arent skipping 10 ft intervals backwards doesnt mean it isnt noticeable.

No. No, no, no, no, no, no.

it's a good thing that there's ping indicators in this game.

In fact, we didn't use to have them - they're relatively new. A couple of years ago we didn't have the region lock and the ping indicators and people were constantly complaining about getting into a match against people from the other side of the moon with such insanely horrible ping that either ruined everyone's experience or actually made people lose connection.

Ping indicators need to stay.

How about no? For people wanting to hop on and play casually, that ping meter is a good way to tell whether or not a particular match will be a waste of their time.
