can someone list even one benefit for allowing killers to see survivor prestige ranks? Cause I can't
Ever since I started focusing on leveling up my survivor to respectable levels I've noticed killers either
A. Dodge the lobby multiple times making me wait longer
B. Go into the match as sweaty as can be, instantly tunneling and camping right at 5 gens because they believe high prestige survivors ='s skill....which it doesn't...I suck...
C. Purposely throw the match just to kill me first or do something toxic towards me.
Why the heck am I even doing this? This is all I get from this, the game punishing me because I leveled up a character...there's literally no upside to this.
So now cause I screwed up I have to switch survivors, cause now I'm being targeted every match and my lobbies take forever. which just makes me want to stop playing all together cause I don't want to reset everything I have just to do that. Thanks, this was such a wonderful idea!

I don't know. I also never understood why the survivors are not allowed to see anything about the killer.

because then the matches would be literally impossible?
Imagine, if you will, going up against someone and knowing who it is and what Killer they usually play (if that isn't outright told). Not hard to then select appropriate perks, burn a particularly unfavourable map for their power or playstyle, and generally force playing at a huge disadvantage.

I didn't mean knowing which killer the survivors are about to face, but at least the prestige (just as previously there was the rank which also only showed when the game was over)

This is why I started spreading my bp out. I'm just aiming to get everyone to P10 now. So it gives no one any expectations of my skill.

It has not been a good time for the P69 Jonathan main here :(
Rare skin? Check.
High Prestige Level? Check.
Boosted Survivor bot? Check.
Tunnel mode, engaged.

I think they should remove the prestige levels in killer lobbies so they dodge less and play less toxic. Only survivors see their teammates prestige. I can’t play my P100 Claudette because I know the killer will choose me if he’s mad or something.

This is what I am doing now. Was a Mikaela main and got her to a measly 22 and I noticed I was being targeted and tunnelled so much more. So have started spreading out in a effort to just get everybody to 10.
And I will add, I am not good. Lol I can’t loop for anything, so then targeting me is just getting rid of probably one of weakest players.
I absolutely hate that the killers can see our prestiges and gamer names before a match but we can’t see their prestige level or gamer name. Also, before you say hide it, I can’t. I’m on PS5 and it is not an option.

Yh idk. All it does is cause killers to lobby dodge or play excessively sweaty.
One of my regular swf mates is a prestige 100 kate. It's often frustrating playing with them because a lot of killers dodge lobbies that they play, and the ones we do get are often super sweaty and tend toneither ignore them completey or tunnel them mercilessly.
Come on bhvr, there is no need to show prestiges. Killers only use it to dodge games. Let them see the skin and see the items but not the prestige.

Yeah, Prestige Levels should disappear in the Lobby. (Same with names and profiles)
I dont even understand why anyone gives anything about Prestige Levels of Survivors. It is way more likely that someone has a high Prestige Level as Survivor compared to Killer, because Killers usually play more than one Character, while many Survivor players are sticking to one character and are more likely to have a higher Prestige Level because of this.
IMO someone who has every Killer at P15 is more scary to face than any P100-Survivor.

Agreed that Prestige should not be shown. Maybe in endgame, but it still does nothing except encourage taunting. If grades were removed in part because of bm, why replace them with an equally bm-inducing system ?
Some of BHVR's decisions I will never understand.

That was BHVR plan for you to play something else, when you reach p100 on all survs you unlock special reward, which is uninstalling this game (unless you don't mind playing killer forever) because I doubt you will handle again and again the points A.B.C that you mentioned

So the new HUD is fine, letting you know exactly what the killer is doing at all times but the killer cant even see your prestige rank? Very interesting indeed...

I got my main killer p100 before doing a p100 survivor. Just for that reason, you never see p100 killers.
0 -
I do want to get Spirit to p100 at some point in the future. I might wait for anniversary to do that
0 -
agreed hopefully they just make it shown only on end game screen and be done with it.

Does it matter? P100s are just as likely to be as bad as a P0 in my experience. Takes no skill to have loads of free time to grind BP.

Are there really killers out there that care about prestige ranks? I sure as hell don't. Other than the 3 P100 Aces with flashlights I saw once. I would probably dodge that lobby anyway, though. They just scared me. Some people with low prestige are the most insane survivors I've ever seen. Other times I face someone with prestige in 70s or higher and they're just... Not that good.
I don't know why killers see prestige before the game. I'd rather no one see any prestige until MAYBE after the game is over. I don't need any more unfavorable map offerings than I get now (don't know, if there are survivors that would care about it but still).
