Can we get In Lobby Killer Switching and survivor ranks back?

This was a thing before mmr. I can't speak for other players but it allowed me to be competitive when needed and play fun killers if not. Granted you couldn't always tell who was swf but when they were obvious, it allowed me to grab a stronger killer to compete rather then being forced to either lobby dodge or get steam rolled using trapper. Maybe I'm the only one who used this as a guage I don't know.

    I'd rather they remove pregame lobbies completely and improve matchmaking/mmr instead. Give me an accept match button once other players have been found and take me straight to loading. Pregame lobbies only encourage dodging while wasting time, and dodging means backfills, which leads to more waiting and worse matchmaking since the system prioritizes speed when filling a backfill slot.

    At least if there's no lobbies then it should in theory be way, way easier to matchmake properly based on skill, since you know people wouldn't dodge a lobby that's fairly matched just because it looks intimidating, and then let some poor sod backfill into it and get stomped.

    Since there's killer specific MMR now, you should be able to play your casual killers against casuals and strongest killers against strong teams at least in theory.

    Good constructive non judgemental idea! Too bad this community doesn't accept that type of attitude.
