SWF balance suggestion

I'm sure we can all agree that SWF is the most broken thing in game, especially 4 man squads with 3 DS, 2 BT, 3 UB, Flashlights etc along with comm which is their biggest advantage. Buffing killers against SWF would affect solo survivors and buffing solo survivors to be as competent as SWF would just make playing killers even harder. Below is my suggestion which would nerf SWF without much impact to other sides.
1. 2 Man SWF could carry only 3 Perks.
2. 3 Man SWF could carry only 2 Perks.
3. 4 Man SWF could carry only 1 Perk each.

Let me know what you think or what you would do different.

    That is still unbalanced. You’re asking for SWF with only limited perks instead of 4.... that’s highly unfair.

    Killers are acting like SWF is the end of the world.

    Its decent but survivors are already crying because of a faster pick up animation LOL
    They should make it so you can see SWF players in a lobby, so you can back out if you want to. But if you stay in you get rewarded.
    So:
    2 man 100% bloodpoints
    3 man 150% bloodpoints
    4 man 200% bloodpoints
    (Killer only ofcourse)

    That would be totally unfair. SWF is something you cannot fight with. You need to handle it.

    Even though I dont like the concept in general, it would be a bandaid fix and devs generally seem to like those.

    I know, SWF is fine when you dont play killer.
    But when survivors receive the slightest nerf like exhaustion rework or faster pickup animation, then the world ends, the game gets review bombed that hard that the devs paddle back and plan insane buffs for the next patch
