Higher cooldowns or softbans for killers making lobbies

in Feedback and Suggestions
I don't know about all you guys, but I'm sick and tired of playing survive with friends only to wait 5-10 mins only to be booted back to the survivor screen in which you have to then either back out or join your friends again. There should be a button at the end of the match to stay with them if they don't leave the end get screen cause when we play together we usually watch until the game ends anyways or all of us die.

On top of that something needs to be done about killers leaving lobbies either because they don't like how they dress or just because they played with us before. Then we have to start the whole process again. Can there be incremental softbans 5-15-30 mins from starting a new lobby every time they leave a lobby that has at least 2 or more survivors in it.

This is just a suggestion, but I know I'm not the only one sick of that #########. Something shouldve been done about this forever ago IMO. It only gets worse over time.

    There's a very good reason killers leave lobbies like that. Hint: It's not because they don't like your dress. You want to punish survivors when they leave a killer lobby too?

    Honestly I don't think anyone should be aloud to leave unless the killers ping is absolute garbage. I can't even begin to explain how much time I've wasted with my friends just sitting there staring at the lobby with the fire crackling waiting to actually get into a match. Sometimes well get 5-10 disconnects in a row, that's almost 30 mins wasted if not more just sitting there trying to find a  game.

    The disconnecter definitely needs a taste of his own medicine. Cause that ######### is just plain obnoxious sometimes. Devs do something about this please, for the love of God.

    so killer has to have softban because one of the 4 survs has garbage internet, while 3 others have green?
    Or cuz he sees 4 flashlights and names "squadette 1"...
    and survivor should receive ban cuz he connects and sees red that flashes green? really?
    There is a reason and obviously you ignore it

    Sure, let's kill the game altogether.

    Why not also ban Killers if they don't host a minimum amount of games each day?

    That last comment was just ridiculous. I'm just saying I'm sick of waiting to play a game have to go through 5-10 disconnects if not more. Then waste time doing so in the first place. It discourages all the survivors in even wanting to play. I can't wait for dedicated servers.

    And I'm sick of playing against SWF. That pretty much destroys certain killers like the Trapper. And you bet I'll dodge any lobby with a troll handle like "Loop'n'Kiter" or a .tv in their name.

    How about letting killers set whether they are willign to be matched with SWF groups. That way it isn't a separate queue, but an option to avoid.

    let me translate this: "I want to punish killers who don't want to play against my SWF squadettes with 4 flashlights and don't let me troll them whole game and take game hostage in the end"

    people dodge swf for a reason.
    Also, if it discourages you from playing swf then maybe they're doing it right

    ps: I've wrote this already but this dud just ignores it... ok

    It's not ridiculous, it's a caricature of your initial comment.

    What you propose wouldn't help solve the problem, but make it even bigger. You cannot force people to play a game, you'll only drive them away.

    I tried an experiment the other night. Accept every 3-SwF / 4-SwF I get.

    Result?

    Survivors keep holding the game hostage after doors are powered. Or spamming a window just to BM.

    I mean, it's not your fault. But please consider why some of us keep dodging SwF. Besides, it is an unbalanced game mode and the killer basically plays with a huge disadvantage. Half of the perks I run are countered by voice com. My strategies can also be defeated by voice com and coordinated team.
