I will only dodge if I see like 3-4 TTVs in a lobby; while I am not going to shy away from a challenge, I'm not here to be the comedic foil in some pre-baked shenanigans.
And even then only sometimes. If I'm feeling spicy I'll lean into it.

Lobby Contains A Content Creator
I only do lobbies that I get to watch spawn in. I will leave lobbies until I am the first in.

How are you supposed to get better if you dodge? I would never dodge, although if I see a prestige 100 legacy Dwight I defo dodge, 99% of the time they are hackers

I'll sometimes dodge if I see someone I played against previously. Playing against the same killer who just destroyed your team just 1 or 2 matches after you played them could be frustrating so I let them get someone else for variety's sake.
Either that or I just forgot to equip a tome challenge.

Some suspicious nicknames, like insults, racist phrases, etc. I check profile and if there are "fun" comments or profile is "unappealing" I can drop lobby. Because 90% that person would be complete unfun for both me and other survivors.
As survivor the same rule plus if someone start BM-ing or arguing in chat.

It is a mix between items and prestige lvl.

Survivor Prestige Level
I play for fun. Not to be the best. Every time i play against a swf or group with high prestige levels, it turns into a unfun borderline tortured game. If the game went well and I had fun, I will let the Survivors alone once the gates open so they can escape. If one survivor is still up or is down and i find the hatch i show them to it. Im a killer, not a monster.
But when i get in matches with swf, and it’s obvious when that happens, its basically me running around trying to make any progress while they run circles around me, sometimes literally, while using 16 coordinated perks and addons. Best case scenario, i might get 12,000 points and will lose some green addons and offerings.

Mainly if I see 3+ medkits or toolboxes. The games already extremely unbalanced enough without all that, I just want a fair as possible match. Also I’ll dodge if they look like a 3+ swf as same as above, the game isn’t balanced for that and I just want a fair as possible match. If the devs won’t balance the game properly then killers are left lobby filtering to try and balance it as much as they can themselves. If the game was balanced I wouldn’t dodge anything.

Meant to hit the item one. But yeah I used to play more but between work and school I only maybe play a match or two of killer a day (if any). And I’m not gonna play that match against a team with 3-4 medkits regardless of if they’re a swf. I’m trying to enjoy the free time I have.

If I load into a lobby with 3 people already sitting there, I leave. I don't want to deal with an obvious 3-man SWF.

I dodge only when I see bully squad in lobby without flashlights, because don't want another 30 min game hostage just because it's fun for them. When I see bully squad with flashlights, they are actually easy to beat, I just take Lightborn and have 2-4 DCs in first 2 minutes. Also 2 or more survivors with prestige more than 70 are kinda red flag. Either strong SWF or just randoms sitting on this game for days without a break. I want to have fun, not to watch entire game how every chase is the same => hit => hug the wall pixel on pixel => 2 gens pop => second hit => flashlight/flashbang/body blocking => another chase => hit => hug the wall pixel on pixel => 2 gens pop... Really boring and frustrating playstyle.

I dodge when their cosmetic choices have a 'sweaty' vibe.

I will usually only dodge when someone uses a map offering, since that can sometimes be like bringing a gun to a fistfight. And by dodge, I mean "Oh no... my game crashed while loading in. What a shame I won't get to play on eyrie of crows..."

I'll occasionally dodge teams of four medkits if I'm playing some gutter-tier killer for a daily. Otherwise, I just slap on Franklin's and call it day.
I rarely dodge prestige 100 survivors if I'm having a bad day, but really only if there are multiple of them and I'm very salty.

i really only dodge lobbies if someone's profile or name looks sketchy

Which Survivors Players Choose
I dodge Ashes and Bills, because I hate that they're so obnoxiously loud when not even injured. And i get called a cheater later when they try to be sneaky when their breath sounds like a motor engine.
I dodge Mikaelas as both killer and survivor. It's not because of the boons. I find Mikaela players stereotypically useless. They're never doing anything in the match, hiding in the corners of the map. They stall the game stupidly long, i'd rather dodge and get anyone else.
I sometimes dodge the newest survivor at the current time too, because 99% of the time they try for adept, and I would feel bad killing them

Don't play killer that much but 3-4 toolboxes and why stick around? I like fun games no tunneling but gen rush teams could lead to me having to tunnel so I dodge.
Oh remember when killer dodging lobby kicked all survivors out from it also? That was harsh.

Lobby Contains A Content Creator
Not good enough to encounter super high prestige regularly, so I play the odd P93 in my games of P10 survivors.
However, I don't like the idea of being free entertainment.
I shouldn't be as cautious around content creators, most streamers I've gone against were actually very sweet, but I'm just not comfortable with that and it makes me play worse, I feel.

When Survivors have names that look like a wifi router password...
Getting 4 level 100s has made me a dodge occasionally, but when you've only got 200 hours in the game and MMR wants you to play against people with thousands of hours? As I don't DC, dodge is my only defense against poor MMR calculations.

Never dodge lobbies unless survivor ping seems out of whack. 4 medkits and I’ll use franklins but that the extent of it

4 toolboxes are enough to make me go back to the queue. Gen speed is already quick enough in spite of all gen regression perks, toolboxes are just overkill.

onlz reason I dodge is if the team has names that literally announce they're gonna be toxic and/or literally saying they're cheaters.

There are several reasons. I could of course answer the first one, but the first one sounds like I'll dodge high prestige with survivors, when in fact, I only dodge low prestige when playing Spirit, I think it's a good decision, because I can decide to waste my time low ranks where I waste pudding and everyone dies quickly or get good survivors and everything pays off. I can also exit if I see a huge ping, you can see it at the beginning (because the bug will hide the high ping later, as if it were normal)
I also try to bypass suspicious accounts, hidden ones with a small number of hours in the game and 100th prestige can be cheaters.

I will 100% dodge anyone using anonymous mode, if I have them blocked from a previous match, if I am in the middle of a string of bad games I will dodge high prestige, and if you last second switch I will crash my game before the match starts.

I don't, I click ready and tab out until the game starts (now with the noise notification when a match is found, until I hear that. Then I tab in, click ready again in lobby and tab out again until the match starts)

Survivor Prestige Level
I dodge based on prestige level but not if it’s a high prestige level, it’s the exact opposite. I usually get matched with prestiges higher than 30-50 at the least so when I encounter a prestige 0 anonymous mode it’s a dead giveaway of hackers so I dodge them.

I don't dodge lobbies, simple as that. Even if it looks like there's a hacker in a lobby, I'm not gonna dodge it. If I lose, I lose, and if I win, I win.
