We should be able to temporarily block certain Killer Lobbies
I am so annoyed when I get into a match and it's the same killer like 5 times in a row. As Killers cannot change their character in the lobby anyway, would be cool to select a killer you really don't want to face, so you don't get into the lobby where that killer is, for a match. Could be token based, when you face a killer, you earn a token for that killer. The last 5 killers get logged. If you have 3 tokens you can block that killer and join a lobby that doesn't have that killer.
I just had 4 slingers in a row and I am just completely demotivated but I also can't just DC the match. And every time that happens, facing the same killer over and over, I wonder why we can't "ban" certain killers for the next match.
If a killer joins afterwards, you could just block banned lobbies for them, so they only join a lobby where he isn't banned by either survivor. In the end that wouldn't even be visible to the players, they would just normally join lobbies as always

That would jumprocket the queue times of new killer characters. I dont know why we need even more roadblocks to try new characters.
Yeah, being able to manually block certain killers is two unworkable for a community as entitled as this one.
I do think some behind the scenes feature then prevents you from matching with the same killer over and over again could be doable, though.
Rainbow Six excludes new characters from that until the pick rates settle
This has nothing to do with entitlement. I don't think it would be feasable to use such a system that's all. A beacon system would be better.
Killer times are high, this would just make them higher, especially when a new killer comes out.
This wouldn't affect survivors, because theres currently and abundance of killers, but unless it puts you into like a lower priority queue I wouldn't be ok with this, the killers shouldnt have to wait longer cuz they picked a killer you didn't want to play against.
Well then Killers will be forced to play killers they don't want to play.
Like everyone will just block all the strong or annoying killers and leave the Boring, easy to loop and exploit_able killers.
Basically leaving Q times to be off the charts.
But that's why it's token based. You cannot just block a killer, you have to play against them multiple times in a short time frame to be eligible for that. And for most peope it would just mix. But the ones that get 3 leatherfaces in a row are guaranteed not to play against one the 4th time if they don't want to
That would be an option, although it wouldn't stop the reason for most complaints (current example: jason i assume).
It doesn't matter. It will be turned into a thing where Survivors will give up against new Killers or Killers they hate to farm the tokens. It will be exploited through the teeth. And the Anti Go Next system might not help with it.
Everything is exploitable. If we really give a damn about what can be exploited we can't have anything nice
Also how would they farm the tokens. Go next could reset them and DC could give a penalty token so you need 4
Other than that you cannot know what killer you go against. Plus, the tokens reset if you get a different killer, as I did say. Maybe not explicit, but I said only 5 tokens, means 5 matches
Wouldn't work everyone will just ban nurse ghoul blight and skyrocket their queue times
Again, how? You can only block one killer at a time. You need to face them 3 out of 5 times then you can block them to not go against them potentially a fourth time. If you go KYF you all face the same killer, if you play SoloQ you'd need every player to face a different killer 3 times to even be able to block more than one killer per lobby
I do like the sound of like a token system as you made in previous comments, Not a thing you can manually apply but if you are genuinely getting the exact same killer multiple times in row should be able to get variety rather then getting the same killer over and over (I would make it outside of like the first week of a new release so it does not hurt new releases)
Like I feel like a system like this would be rare to prox. because you have to see the same killer over and over, last time I saw that was with ghoul pre nerf I don't even get more then 2 Jason's back to back. And if you are just versing top tiers (EG jason, nurse, blight, jason, Nurse) it would not prox because you have had another killer between
Edit : would also add It should not be visible and work like the realm repeat prevention but after like the third time getting the same killer in a row, getting another killer should reset tokens to 0 as should dcs.
I mean it surely isn't a massive QoL update, it's something that bugs me sometimes but when it happens it bugs me massively. Like I have a bad round with some Leatherface, then I get another one, suddenly yet another one, where I'm at the point of throwing my PC out the window.
ALso yeah it's already in for Maps and you don't really see it happening, like that
The outcome you want (a diversity of Killers being played) is a good one, but the method is horrible. It would make queue times for everyone longer, would be exploited by SWFs and would probably make cheating even easier if it introduced elements that allow Survivors to manipulate who they queue with. A better start point would be to ask why some Killers are so popular, why are some so unpopular, and actually work out ways to make more Killers enjoyable and accessible to casual/non-expert players while perhaps reining in some of the most oppressive ones at the top.
Again I don't get how people think it's exploitable. How exactly would you exploit it when you already can't know what killer you go against? If you DC it would reset, if the killer wasn't the same it would reset too
PS: Maybe actually answer the question and not just downvote?
If you really got 4 Slinger in a row, go buy a lottery ticket today - you're clearly on some sort of hot streak.
Or you're just being hyperbolic.
The issue is with is it would absolutely punish whoever the newer killer is, and would make strong killers nearly unplayable.
But sure, as long as I get the ability to temporarily block any lobby with specific survivor perks.
A bonus on other killers would be nice, some MOBAs used to do it back in the day. Maybe a BP bonus for playing X killer
As I said before, you can exclude new killers for obvious reasons
That could work too, yeah
