Survivors need to be allowed to see killer profiles like we used to.
It's genuinely important for the health of the game that survivors know if the killer is from another country (and this laggy), has a VAC ban from hacking, or just someone who's previously known to be toxic.

I kinda agree in terms of the toxicity and stuff, but doesn’t the lobby have a little bar in the bottom corner that lets you know if the ping/connection is ass?

Only for yourself, not for the killer. Even if your connection is fine, a laggy killer will still be hitting you from across the map and teleporting around and there's no way to avoid it.

How did this used to work, precisely? I don't know what you're asking for.

You used to be able to check the killer's Steam profile while in lobby.

Sounds to me like you want to dodge killers you don't like. I play on gamepass anyway, so whatever.

Or they just wanna know simple things like the amount of hours their opponent has before they play with them. And even if it was because they didn’t want to go against a certain player, who cares?

I could agree with a killer ping indicator in the lobby that like we used to have in the good old days.
But being able to view the killer's profile before the game is a big fat hell no. If it was a good thing back in the day they would have kept it in the game but all it did was lead to excessive dodging which was bad for the game. It leads to more people using private profiles and is pointless for cross-players anyway.
As it is now players are still given too much information in lobbies. Some survivors see my P56 Jeff and instantly dodge assuming I am a cheater without even glancing at my profile which is nowhere near level 1 or private.
I'd much rather be playing in matches of DbD rather than sitting in lobbies. As it is now any player who spends their bloodpoints is already using more than half their playtime in DbD not actually in matches.

I should be allowed to know if the killer is laggy, has a history of hacking, has bullied and harassed me in the past, and what platform they're on. Scared I'm going to dodge? Yeah I am, because I want to have fun, I don't want to vs a laggy hacker who facecamps and threatens me. That makes me the bad guy? The devs seem to think so..

If all people did was dodge hackers from seeing their profile then it would still be in the game.
But people dodge for all sorts of stupid reasons. Stuff like "that player likes to play Clown and I hate playing against Clowns." Truly stupid reasons.
That feature is long gone never coming back.

And yet killers are allowed to see survivor profiles? Explain that.

The killer is outnumbered so whatever.
If they took away the ability for killers to see survivor profiles it wouldn't change much and I don't care either way.
I've suggested and would like to see them remove being able to see prestiges in pregame lobbies since it causes so much dodging too.
I just want to play DbD, not spend my time waiting in lobbies because people keep dodging for frivolous reasons.

Better than wasting an entire match against a laggy killer from China or a killer with a dozen bans on record who can noclip.

be my guest i use anonymous mode anyway

"I've suggested and would like to see them remove being able to see prestiges in pregame lobbies since it causes so much dodging too"
Yeah, I think prestige should only be shown after the match

nah only killers are allowed to cherry pick their matches (they only have a 60% winrate(they're the victim role))

All 5 players should have their latency displayed in the lobby.
For profiles they should be 100% inaccessible from in-game for both survivors and killers, preferably hidden from stuff like recent player lists as well. Not match relevant information like seeing what item a survivor has and most of the time used for dodging, cringy grudges and toxicity.
With one exception: if you add someone that's cool to the in-game friends list you can invite people to swf/customs from, you can find their profile in case you're on the same platform and want to add eachother.
And yes, of course you can still dig up someone's profile if they're not using some kinda anon mode. But the slightly higher effort required would give angry people some time to cool off, immediately making a lot of would-be profile comment ragers realize "that actually that's pretty weird I shouldn't do that actually"

No. Survivors would just mark profiles and dodge people who are better than them... and use this to snipe.
Just no, people are too petty to have nice things - which is sad as I would like to not play against hackers...
