Solution to fix SWF
SWF is obviously try-hard mode. So why not always match them against try-hard killers like Nurse, Blight and Spirit? I think that would be alright. Meanwhile don't make the normal killer players have to endure the stupidity of dealing with SWF.

Survivors with coms are so powerful that they can legit absolutely disrespect most killers by pretty much repairing in their face, they're so scuffed.

Another idea would be to reduce SWF player speed by an extra 5% while injured. This way it would make them just about the same level as those players with no discord.

Thanks.

I just wish they would just make match making random no matter the MMR or whatever strange system they think is working. Sometimes you are matched evenly or not, it's a gamble and that seems fair enough.

Give Killers a 5th perk slot.

This perk slot only activates if there are grouped up players in their lobby.

Adjust balance as necessary.

Done.

2 man SWF - No effect
3 man SWF - No items
4 man SWF - Only 3 perks per person and no items

Add in a change that makes solo queue not AIDS

Thier reason was always , "why punish friends who are playing together". What I heard always was " we don't care if killers get bullied by swf". Interms of playerbase better to loose 1 player than loose 4 players..

I got one its called removing killers totems
GameBoyDwight (Banned) Dec 11, 2023 @ 8:16pm 
And it will stop tunneling too cause killers wont be worried about totems like survivors dont have totems for their perk slots so why should killers

The biggest issue, I think, is that they make money off of the shop. In every game, they can upset a total of 5 players, right? So, in reality, if they choose things that upset survivors, they risk alienating 4 people per game. If they do things that upset killers, they affect 1 person per game. The net result of doing things that upset killers, but which also subsequently increase the fun of survivors, on paper, seems to be the better business strategy. If you keep 4 survivors happy, they'll be more likely to spend money real money in your stores etc. Ideally they'd be interested in keeping the 5th player ( the killer) happy as well, but if a sacrifice has to be made I feel they will always err on the side of who is bringing in more money. Now, if it was shown by BHVR that killer players spent more money in the shop buying skins and such than survivor players, then my theory would be incorrect.

Yes making same skilled players face each other is the most sensible thing to do.

Should be forcing survs off gens instead of getting mad.

Idiotic thing to even think of.

just as we can choose to game with console players we need a option to not play with SWF

I genuinely would never mind playing against a SWF if they just turned their comms off during the match, or something.
SWF itself is totally fine; it's the voice comms that break the game.

Great idea! Killers totally won't abuse this by bringing 5 slowdown perks.

What does your final tally typically look like against good SWF opponents? Even against good teams, a good killer will play to nearly draw games.

All you have to do is mark swfs in the lobby and the problem will solve itself.

Ja, because base kit bt wasn't abusable. But aside from that fallacious statement, SWF's abuse comms a lot, too.
