Yeah because it would be fun to get kicked out just because you did something the killer doesn't want. Kick out anyone who brings an item? kick out anyone with legacy? a p3 Claudette? This could be abused really easily and wouldn't be fun.
This let the killer pick and choose the easiest possible match, yeah that'll turn out really well. Wait that 1 person in bright orange clothing might be good, kick them. That person brought a gasp medkit, welp kick them. That person brought a key, sacrilege, gotta kick them too.
i already dont wear my P3 bloody clothing on nea due to the killer always doging the lobby. i also have to switch at the last second if i want to bring a item to stop the killer from putting on Franklins/lightborn or dodging.
This would help survivors find a match better: "quickly, make something up about being helpful even if it doesn't make any sense."
This person is playing lAuRiE kick them
OP is right. The killer should have a way to at least initiate a vote kick. Where 2 survivors have to click yes in order to kick that particular survivor.
Why? Because more often than not, I dodge lobbies with abysmal pings. Because someone from the other end of the world thinks it's a good idea to click ready on a 500+ ping.
Being able to kick that survivor would give the other players a faster match. Since they don't have to rematch.
Or maybe killer could set a max number over which ready button would be inactive for survivors.
Vote kick, if it could only be initiated by the Killer, might work to kick out high ping Survivors, since Killers can't communicate with Survivors, but no one player should have the ability to remove another one from the lobby.
This could easily be abused by an overly-picky person, so therefore I'd say no. I'd love to ban OchiDO and his toxic lads from all my games, but if it means the Dwighter27 gets kicked for bringing a Brown Toolbox or for wearing P3 then I'd prefer that it would just stay as it is.
Only if it only allow you to kick people with garbage ping that don't want to leave the lobby despite having 300+ ping
Simply kicking would be abused. You are all right with that. But initiating a vote kick would give a fair chance and let survivors know why. Instead of simply dodging.
Vote kick could happen... if we had dedicated servers and knew each others ping without writing it in chat
The issue with vote kicking is the same that's happened in every other game, it gets abused by people wanting only someone they like or meta picks.
I've always wanted to be able to set a reasonable ping limit so that if say an 80 ping person joins (yes it's happened and they didn't get kicked). That the game would auto kick them and only them a reasonable limit would be 250 ping but it'd have to be constant.
But not where it's checking for EAC authentication and spikes then lowers once it gets a response. that'd be a reasonable limit. Which would also allowing people to connect and verify since it also tends to spike for everyone when someone joins.
The other issue with ping is that killers love to alt tab and check profiles to see how many achievements someone has before deciding to dodge etc. That always spikes everyone' s ping up as well, add in if the person a streamer etc.
(off topic they need to hide names in chat so streamers don't get sniped and killers can't dodge because they don't like someone. It'd also keep people from dodging in lobby because they don't like who's there.)
Ehhhh, I wouldn't mind kicking people who had 400 ping and refused to leave the other 3 people who have 90 ping. They just screw up the game for everyone and usually die first cause they lag like #########.
