How about a feature that enables you to prevent encountering a particular killer?

This may seem petty if it existed but I'm curious to know what people think of this and how it would work. It could be an Offering also

    Offering wouldn't work since you would already be matched and loading against someone already. Though the idea seems fine it would narrow the possibilities of matches extremely since there is already repeat map prevention, and adding killer prevention on top of that would be factoring out up to 9 things in total (4 killers for each survivor, and 5 maps for each player). Maybe this idea could work in 4 man swfs but I doubt this would ever come to the game, they should give an incentive to lesser played killers tho

    This system will never work, because the killer is another player who has to pick their killer before queueing for matchmaking.

    If killers could swap killers in lobby, this system could work as killers would have a choice to dodge lobbies. But a killer banning system would only exist to make survivor easier as a 4 stack now can prevent facing the top 4 killers at any time.

    How about a feature that enables you to prevent encountering a particular Survivor and their perks?

    I'd rather had feature that prevent encountering certain player (like in Dark Souls), but I understand why they never add this. Although I wish they would, at least a dozen slots.

    How about feature that makes you not play against more than duo survivors?

    Who cares? Author doesn't care about Nurse players neither...

    It's just: "I don't like it, so make it disappear" approach...

    Ahhhh I see.

    Welp the rest of us kinda care, even if they do not.

    It would be problematic as a feature, but I could get behind repeat killer prevention. It would have some impact on matchmaking but it would also lessen some of the fatigue from playing against the same killer constantly.

    Nobody deserves to suffer through back-to-back Hag sessions.

    I'd waste a perk slot on this... to prevent being matched with certain killer(s). Some killers just aren't fun to play against or change the spirit of the game too much. I'd gladly waste an entire perk slot to be able to say no to being matched up against at least one killer. I'd also be willing to wait much longer in match finding.


    I like how people always assume Nurse and Blight will be the killers people would choose not to play against. I have no issue with either of them... Knight or Skull Merchant would be my choice.
