Killers should see survivor ranks

If you’re a yellow rank killer you should know if a red rank is in your lobby.

    Too many derankers knowing full well they’re not playing in their own league.

    Yeah right lol. We already wait 10 minutes at a time for games just to get dodged. Maybe if they wanted to drown this already sinking game.

    Survivors should see killers lobby for the exact same reason.

    Makes sense and seems fair but doubt it will happen.

    Will never happen, this way SWF cant queue up with low ranks to face a low rank killer

    Any killer would agree.
    Show the ranks of everyone to everyone. Seems like a fair deal

    Yup. I find it unusual that me and you have started to agree a lot more nowadays. It's a nice change.

    Yes, but it will never go live since that would mean that SWF would get dodged :wink:

    Yeah they would. They'd cry too.

    I'm not sure if showing rank would actually be a good idea. I'd rather just have the SWF's lowest rank be the rank of the killer (so if you have a rank 2 and a rank 10, you're getting a rank 2). That seems like a fair change that wouldn't result in more dodging.

    Seems fair, if the queue times weren’t awful. When I play SWF on PS4 (which is rarely), we’ll sit in matchmaking for half an hour. I was Rank 2 and my friend was Rank 18...we ended up getting a Rank 10 because that was the best option. You won’t always get the highest rank because queue times are super long.

    They specifically removed it in a patch last year to prevent killers from lobby dodging. They also made it so the killer is unable to see the amount of hours played a survivor has though recently I've been able to do so.

    This was implemented to prevent killers from cherry picking easy matches that they knew they'd win.

    I've heard people talk about having a pool for match up, too, which may help the wait time for higher ranks. So, you'd get in a game with 1-5, etc.
