"Lets punish SWF"
So i see that thrown around here on the forums a lot. But im pretty sure most people would agree that its a terrible idea, you really shouldnt punish people for trying to play with their buds.
So how about this? We instead just reward solo survivors for putting up with the BS known as match making, and reward killers for taking on a greater challenge. Whether that be via BPs or shards or whatever.
So i came up with a *most likely* terrible idea for solo survivors and one for killers:
Solo survivors: I've seen "Give SWF less perk slots" thrown around a few times, but what if we flipped it around? And gave solo survivors a bonus slot, but GREATLY limit what perks can go into that slot. So only perks like WGLF, or kindred can be used in the slot. No meta perks allowed. Then force the perk in that slot to be level 1.
Killers: Give killers a "Mini-Hex" Perk slot. If a killer puts a hex perk into that slot, it is forced to become a level 1 perk. However, they can also put non-hex perks into this slot too. If they put a non-hex perk into this slot, that perk becomes a hex. (And gets set to level 1). So killers could have Hex: BBQ & Chili, or Hex: I'm all ears.

Me and some other people suggest these ideas for a while now xd
Tho I never thought about mini hex perk slot. It shouldn't exist tbh because then you will realise "oh ######### they are swf" and lobby dodge. I suggested killers not to lose their add-ons and offerings and gain 2x pbs.

The biggest advantages of being in SWF are coordinating loadouts/playstykes and sharing information. Nothing can be done about the second, but the first one could be nerfed, thats what some people try to do.
Giving more BP to killer playing against SWF is a good idea, just like kiving more BP for surviviors playing solo.
Giving Kindred to as a basekit to all solo surviviors was proposed before, even devs said they will look at it, and I think it would be nice too. Im not sure how choosing "non meta" perks would work, so I think the idea I mentioned would work better.
Its hard to say what impact it would have at the game, so I dont think giving killer extra perk slot is good or not. I'd rather not, because its too hard to predict what will happen. Also not all perks are bad at lvl 1.

Not only they won't punish people for playing with their friends despite the advantage, they probably won't hand out free stuff either because it hinders player retention, the grind is the only thing that keeps some people from dropping the game, there are players who live it as an addiction.

Allowing killers to keep addons and offerings is actually a really good idea. That way killers can use their best gear to take on the challenge of a good swf team
