AITAH?
I typically leave when I see people switch to 4 beamers last second because they don't even give me a chance to counter with a lightborn or franklins. It seems really survivor bias that they can switch after they've matchmake but killers are locked into the killer they've chosen. So I typically leave during the loading screen sending them all back to a 10 minute queue because I already know their only intent is to bully the killer. Am I in the wrong here?
*edit* I ask this because I've gotten a few PS messages already being insulted because I didn't wanna be blinded at every single pallet without a counter.

You have every right to dodge whatever lobby you want. The feature is there for a reason.
The survivors are then in one of two scenarios:
1.) Their queue times are fast, you've hurt them none and they have nothing to complain about.
OR
2.) They have a long queue time, and should probably reflect on WHY exactly a Killer would do that.

I do the same thing, on both sides, whenever someone brings a map I don't like, and I don't think I'm an AH for it. Before the game starts, anything goes.

First rule of Dodge Club: Don't talk about Dodge Club
Secondly, if you don't want to play against that it is within your right to not put up with.

You can do what ever you want, but I'd much rather have 4 flashlight then 4 medkits. Once I see those flashlights, I just know to fake and look around every once in a while because I already stare at wall by default regardless if they have any beamers.

But the game starts when you're all quede up, yes you're the AH, you're just wasting everyone's time, and there's always a chance that a rando got caught up in all of that for no reason

It's not as much the saves I'm worried about. It's just annoying asf getting blinded at every pallet break and every window vault

No worries, in this circumstance Killers time is much less valuable than survivor's, wasting it will not hurt them.

I actually come strapped with Lightborn. So I would roll those kids, regardless. No need to send them back to queue when I can send them back to an mmr where it might actually work.

I mean if you can you shouldn't break MMR, that gonna be game-breaking.

True and true, but there is this certain breed of rowdy youth or YA who frankly don't ever reflect, just complain or feeling wronged and insulted. Its a sad fact of life, but we will always have this elements of society. Normally a few years in the workforce and a bit of life experience will mellow them out and make passable people out of them, but most of us got through our edgy phase, right?
Up until then we gotto hold out and somehow try to educate them whenever possible. Enter basement bubba .

I always leave the lobby when I see an obvious bully squad but I never thought about leaving during the loading screen.

First, you're NTA.
Second, last second switchers = total abandonment of etiquette. Get ready for tunneling, camping and slugging.

At least I can actually pick up a downed survivor against the med kits

Survivors should be fully locked in at the 15 second mark

What if my last second switch was to an empty handed survivor?
1 -
The example OP gave is of last second switching, when the killer has no time to respond, or even back out of the lobby.
If the killer had chance to respond to four people conducting this underhanded tactic then it wouldn't be an issue, but once they have joined the lobby, they are on a 60 second countdown.
Still, relatively immaterial, as this thread is probably already locked for promoting unsportsmanlike conduct.

10 minute queue lol. you wish

NTA.
Even though equipping Lightborn is the best option on this case, you may choose to dodge if you want to.

I usually bring lightbourne, makes me feel powerful to not stare at a wall while picking up.
For me, a last minute switch means survivors want to play dirty, it means I should camp and tunnel hard. I oblige.

Absolutely not; I do the same if I see an RPD/Haddonhell offering. You're not an ######### for not wanting to deal with something, since the match has yet to start.
