Lobby Timer can go?

I remember why the lobby timer was introduced.
In 2016, people just kept spamming the matchmaking system until they matched with their friends, which resulted in abnormally long queue times. We also had players working with killers this way and ruining the game for others.

We are far away from those times and I feel the lobby timer can now be disabled. I say this because most of the times, I get matched with 400-700 ping killers and I have to filter through lobbies until I find a decent ping.

I hope I'm not the only one?

    It's only five seconds... It's not that big of a deal is it?

    Timer is okay, most games have one. I think that survivors should be locked to their builds at 20 seconds to prevent last minute switching BS. As far as trying to find lobbies with a good ping, I honestly don't see how the timer could affect that.

    I just wish people would set up their build BEFORE joining a lobby. I know its only 60 seconds but I hate waiting on 1 person to decide if they want to use that brown fog offering or not...
