Option to Hide Prestige

Hope there is an update about this soon! It’s become exhausting having to deal with this, some people just play lower prestige characters they don’t even like to avoid harassment or judgement, and that’s not fair at all. Thanks for passing this feedback :)

Okay, but do you have anime girls on profile?

I upvoted this yesterday and a few of the commenting posts as I agreed whole-heartedly with this. I've returned to this as it happened to me last night. Now, my higher leveled survivor isn't a p100 but I'm still above p50 so its still a little higher.

Went against a Wraith on RPD, great loops between me and him - he had a hard time catching me so he whittled away at the less abled loopers until I was simply left on hook to die by the fearful Nancy who Urban Evaded for the last 3 hooks of her team-mates.

I offered a GGWP in endgame chat and Wraith opted to do his best to get under my skin:

"be better Carlos"

"lvl ** noob xd"

"lvl ** u a joke"

I turned to a slightly different page in my book and offered a few of my owns words back. Apologized for embarrassing him around loops that made him feel the need to throw darts at me for my favorite character being higher level than his dainty Bingbong.

tl:dr Yes, I'd like to hide prestige too - but namely for those who dislike ridiculousness like that.

I am a Jeff Main and I got him to P100 about 3 months ago. And I can confirm every point you made.

But you should add "being accused of having cheated the P100" to that list, because this happened to me as well lol.

Probably no harm really to hide your rank in the pre game lobby. That would stop the tunneling/lobby DCs.

Post game I'd keep the ranks visible, it's a beneficial tool for potentially making friends with people who have notice you play well and have put in the time. It's also valuable for measuring your progress as a killer (I'm like 1 and 1/2 months in and have gone against a few people with higher ranks in 1 char, than I have across my whole roster combined xD).

Regards to the verbal abuse, it also sucks, though one piece of advice vs. any bully, is remove their source of power over you, however that works for you.

Some people just say "yep" or "ok" to everything. Others treat them like children and baby talk them or pretend they can't hear them. If you're like me you have fun, and be twice as insulting back to them without saying any bannable words. In your case, say something like "sorry peasant, I only talk to 75 prestige minimum, go eat mud somewhere else".

The point is to never let them see you sweat. If you ensure they can't see them getting under your skin, they can't beat you ;)

I would generally like to see less pre-game and see more post-game. My own and others MMR included. But I presume to be in minority here.

Cool. Your point?

Survivors used to be able to do that. There was a file they could open up in the lobby to see which killer they were playing against so they could dodge the lobby. I didn't care about getting dodged then and I don't care now.

then people who turned it off would get dodged, because "they have something to hide".

Pretty accurate. I have every survivor on P9 or 10 except Thalita, Renato and Gabriel because i don't like them that much. Then I got Felix on P12 and Chris on P20......

And Jeff on P100.

I play Chris more often now because I don't get harassed that much.

I'm prestige 100 and out of the hundreds and hundreds of games I've played this year I think three people have mentioned it, and I think two of those were compliments.

You shouldn't care what other people think about you, ESPECIALLY strangers on the internet. ESPECIALLY strangers on the internet that go out of their way to try and make other people feel bad. They are just lonely and insecure, and probably get bullied irl and need to pass it on in whatever way they can. Report them and move on.

I never said anything about your motives, I believe you when you explain why you want to hide your prestige level, I just don't care. It's not that deep for me either. I want my experience in the game to be made better, which, with these devs, is likely never going to happen, so at the very least I'd rather it not be made worse, which is what your suggestion would do.

Realistically speaking, with how survivor biased the devs are, you're going to get what you want, but I figure I'd rather speak up about it before it happens so I can at least say that I tried to get my feedback through.

It's really easy to understand and I don't get how you don't see it. Although it's not a perfect indicator of skill, reaching P100 on a character takes time. Time =~ experience =~ skill. A player that's P100 on a character is more likely to be better at the game than someone who doesn't have one. Again, not a perfect indicator, but it gives you a rough idea of what to expect. The game isn't going to be ruined by not being able to see character levels, but in the absence of better matchmaking or more ways to gauge the overall survivor team's skill, it makes the game worse.

As far as it being an "us vs them" thing, I mean, that's also obvious. The devs cater to survivors. If survivors want something, they get it. If survivors don't like a thing, they don't get it. The devs have already mentioned that they're talking about this, so it's likely that you're going to be able to hide your character level at some point, despite it making the killer's experience worse because they want to cater to survivors. It's not hard to connect the dots man, and it's hardly a simplification.

Do you think the average killer is going to be getting 1000 wins in a row? Look man, I can't speak for the experiences of content creators. It's their job to play this game. Like I said before time =~ experience =~ skill, and who has more time to play this game than someone who's literal job it is to do so.

I will never reach the point where I'm getting a 1000 win streak, and neither will most people, so I can only speak to my own experiences playing the game as an "average" killer.

Not really sure where you're pulling your solo queue survivor streak number from, but let's say it's true. And? What's your point? Someone losing their escape streak doesn't mean that the game they personally lost in was a loss for the team as a whole. It's a 4 v 1 game. If a person loses their streak but they did so while looping the killer for 5 gens, then they did great and that killer lost.

The devs claim that they aim for a 60% kill rate, which means they expect the average game to be about 7 hooks, with 2 of them being death hooks. I don't believe that for a second. If that were true than they would have implemented something to incentivize hooks over kills, because as it is right now, you can get 7 hooks and unless those hooks manage to kill someone, you can get no value out of them and end the game in a 4 person escape. They also would have pushed the healing nerfs through to give killers some form of pressure after they gutted gen kicking and they wouldn't have allowed DH to be the most broken perk in the game for years and years, while gutting every killer perk that inconveniences survivors. If a meta rolls around that allows survivors to have easy games, it gets to stick around forever. If a meta rolls around that makes things even slightly easier for killers, it needs to be deleted as soon as possible. What would you call that if not a survivor bias?

Ah. So suddenly it's not devs making every game easy for survivors, but your lack of skill.

Highest soloQ escape streak holder is by Ayrun and some German streamer (both at 34 or something close to it). As for killer, there's a blight player with 1000 winstreak, but I don't remember his name. There's also Supaalf with 555+ kill streak on nurse. All of which is on VODs.

As for "average" experience - you said it right. Kill rate is above 50%. So what gives? How can you call the game totally survivor sided, when in fact even weaker killers do good in "high MMR" now. Top ~10 killers do very well even against comp survivors with insane experience and clock callouts and all that.

And yet here we are with people like you that are unhappy with "just" more kills then escapes - calling the game sided for people that has less then 50% survivol rate. Don't you even feel bad for that?

Just because you would filter for fair games doesn't mean everyone else will. How many killer players will fish for a game they can stomp to feel better about themselves? How many survivors, if they could see killer info, would lobby shop until they can stomp the poor 4.5hr huntress that got the game yesterday?

If Street Fighter's matchmaking is sufficient to make lobby shopping irrelevant, as you've pointed out from 0 usage of match rejection since you started playing, then that's awesome. But given we both recognise that DBD's matchmaking is just as likely going to give you baby survivors as it is 4 man bully squad SWF loaded up with dead dawg saloon offerings and power struggle builds, we both know that there are plenty of people on both sides that would use the info to get free games.

Yes please, also hide globe icon so I don't spend ages in lobby simulator because of people who lobby dodge console and then lose their next game anyway lol.

I found lobby dodge annoying since ages ago. Before it was annoying because it would boot you out back in menu when killer does it but now its still annoying just less so.

I very much feel this! You could say here you ate a cheeseburger last weekened and somebody would turn it either into a balance debate or survivor mains vs killer mains oppression olympics.
