Finding lobbies on PS4

Are any other PS4 players having a hard time finding lobbies in the last day or two? Even just playing solo it takes so long.

    Yeah it’s been the same for me too, waited 4/5 minutes just for a lobby as survivor.

    I thought survivor lobbies are so fast since devs buffed killer so hard to guarantee ez 4ks?

    It would be nice to have a penalty system for Killers that dodge back to back. It took me 25 mins to find a lobby SOLO just now and still getting dodged. 

    Its really inconvenient.

    Yeah that feeling when you wait a few minutes already for a survivor lobby and that "special kind of SWF" joins. Well I didnt wait 5 mins for sth like this, so I gotta restart the lobby :wink:

    At r1 ps4 I get insta lobbies as killer anytime. R1 survivor about 1 min wait during prime time. A few min wait off peak hours. I'm in NA.

    You could depip if you want. I'm sure there are loads of killers at r7 -10.

    Ps4 is slowly dying again. It needs to be made free always imo. With the new monetization system why not.

    On rank 7 it's also very bad. I feel like around the time the event was over the lobby wait times increased a lot.

    Yeah i'm getting lobbydodged even when playing solo, A LOT.
    I don't get why those lobbydodgers keep playing this game, they should uninstall it and play something else.

    Right, I don't understand it either. I've been lobbydodged as solo and when playing with 1 friend so much these days. If you don't want to play, don't open a lobby :k

    Same. Honestly, I believe the problem is that everybody loves to play Survivor on console. I tested loading up a lobby as Killer and got a game in 30 seconds.

    I was playing solo surv (R1) and had to wait much longer than usual. I believe there are more people playing surv at the weekends so lobby waiting times are longer. Didn't have any problems when playing killer.

    Yes some killers are so fed up that they simply open another lobby instead of starting a game where they are bullied :wink:

    Yes some killers aren't skilled enough to face swf so they simply open another lobby instead of starting a game where they are bullied :wink:

    ^ Fixed it for you.

    Its even worse when they wait until the last 10 seconds before disconnecting, too.

    I have not been able to get in a game for a while now, thought I had been banned at first because it kept disconnecting
