Killer Lobby Prep is Toxic

It's not just with Claudette.

For instance if you bring a key into the match good luck staying alive unless you stay fully immersed and abandon your team. This happens no matter which survivor I use.

The thing is, giving up your hand to the Killer is too big a disadvantage, and penalizes you for using items or playing in certain ways. It is just bad for the game and further encourages survivors to play just one way (looping) and never do anything different, and it encourages killers to be punitive by punishing survivors who dare to use items they were given or skins they bought for the game.

It's just like how survivors will DC when they see a black secret offering in the Offering screen. They know they're in for a Mori so they just DC.

Claudette is part of the game. How about I tell you don't play Legion, or don't play Nurse, or don't play whatever.

How do you like that?

I just tried it again right now.

I finished a match as Claudette using a Dull Key.

Bingo, on the first try, I get a Myers with Ebony Mori. It's like clockwork. How is this okay? it's not. I escaped anyway, even if three of my teammates all died, but I'm saying it's stupid that killers get to punish survivors in this manner when they want to try using their shiny items.

Killers also dodge lobbies with flashlights, or dodge lobbies with P3 skins, etc.

It's not good for the game. As you said, "the only advantage a killer gets is 'a non issue'"

If it's such a tiny, unimportant advantage, then surely we can remove it from the game, right?

Killers shouldn't miss it at all, since by your own admission it's a non-issue advantage.

Oh yeah? For me Nurse is for absolute noobs. Can't M1 your way to victory, sheesh what noob.

Not really. A lot of people don't care about rank anymore. There have been killers who throw games just to derank. I haven't cared about rank for a long time, not since I got to red ranks. Been there, done that, don't need to stress myself over pips again.

And like I said.

Keys give you game ending power.

But it's bad that Killers get a heads-up on it before the match, so they can put in their game ending powers. Out of the 40 or so matches I played last night with keys, at least half were against killers pulling out the stops and using their Ultra Rares to screw with me.

How is that a good thing?

Killers shouldn't be allowed to prep by having foreknowledge of survivors. Survivors get to be surprised by what the killer is packing in the game. We can't even tell what they're packing until they hit us with it. It's why everyone plays like BBQ and Chili is in every game. Killers don't even need to equip BBQ to benefit from it. Every survivors hides in lockers or runs close when someone goes down.

At least killers can see what items we have. Survivors don't know until they get hit. And in this game, with tunnelers and campers, one hit is all you need to end your night.

And people wonder why the DC problem is so bad?

I'm telling you one of the reasons why DCs are such an issue. It's up to you to see if it's worth letting the devs know and do something about it.

You can keep telling yourself that and keep holding your double-standards to heart.

Then keep wondering why the DC problem is only getting worse. It's because of killer with attitudes like yours who think you're the only victims and you have the all the rights, like the right to play Nurse, but survivors don't have rights, and they shouldn't be allowed to play Claudette (there's tons of people here who even asked to delete her brown shirt from the game, and a very misguided few even asked to delete her altogether!)

The topic was about Claudette, until you made it about not playing characters that are in the game. So I respond in kind. You reap what you sow. Who's shifting the topic again?
