Can we please do something about lobby dodging?
This isn't a one sided issue either. I sometimes literally cannot even get a match to start due to the absurd amount of dodging on both sides. It's extremely common for four or five people on both sides to dodge for whatever reason. It just delays the start of the match and is generally pretty annoying.

Really? I don't see much of an issue sure some leave but there's always someone who quickly replaces and stays

I feel the dodgers get worse lobbies anyway so what ever.

This happens an excessive amount when I play through the night. Perhaps it's because I play in anonymous mode or something, but yeah it's just an unnecessary waste of time. Sometimes I see the same people come and go from the lobby 3+ times in a row. Bizarre.

Maybe there could be a system for extreme cases like 3 dodges without doing a match you get a penalty

Yea, I'll attest to this. Ever since I switched to anonymous mode I've seen a much larger number of lobby dodgers.

It also destroys their matchmaking system.

Valid options for this as I see them:
- Fix it so that dodging doesn't go for "fastest choice" and throw matchmaking out the window. At least then dodging doesn't ruin the game for 5 people.
- Remove the lobby entirely.
- Lock players to a particular lobby, so it can search for a new, good match while waiting for the person who tried to dodge if they do queue up. So, dodging becomes impossible unless they time themselves out voluntarily.

I see it a lot. I don't know there's something in the water because its become excessive in the last couple of months. Its getting to the point where I can predict who will dodge.
E-daters and comp dressed Aces are guaranteed to lobby dodge in my experience.

I leave a lot when I see anon players. Same with numbers and _s in the name.

Making it so people can't browse each other's profiles in the lobby would help with this. I don't get why it's even permitted to check people's hours beforehand, because if someone with 300 hours gets someone with 3k, of course they'll dodge.

or bhvr could just you know, fix the "skill based matchmaking" so that 300 hours doesnt get put in lobbys with 3k hours..

I agree. Super Annoying.

I can sorta understand the reason behind dodging anons, but dodging numbers and underscores just seems kinda tedious to me. That’s such a huge amount of the player base — how would you ever play an actual match?
1 -
Would be cool too, yeah

I don't think the lobby itself should be removed completely. It is iconic to the game and allows the killer to adjust their build based on items. Maybe some form of locked lobby is needed, where once their system does its thing there's no leaving?
Another here mentioned checking profiles & hours. This probably shouldn't be a thing either, especially concerning the vast majority of the playerbase cannot do it anyway and it's done specifically to dodge or not.
The only reason I see for it that has merit imo is sniffing around for "known cheaters and hackers". That's another topic entirely, and I agree much more needs to be done server-wise to combat it, but again most players cannot even check in the first place.
