Try a new game mode to balance SWF
This is from my very first post but it kinda got lost in the comments lol.
Personally I think the best way to balance the game is to add a new PRO MODE,
In this mode the devs could offer increases in blood point gains or shards but it comes with restrictions.
1, no 2 characters can be the same only one of each.
2, increase the penalty radius around hooked survivors so killers are forced to patrol the victim from further away or chase other survivors, even add a multiplier for hitting or incapping different survivors outside of the radius while one is hooked.
3, ALL PLAYERS must use in-game proximity chat, this should be recordable so people being deliberately offensive can be caught in a clip and reported.
4, finally and most importantly all perks should be given a value, ie character specific perks are worth 1 point on the character they belong to and 2 points on all other characters, non character specific perks should be worth 1 point to all characters with all players having 5 points to spend on a perk build, this would force more diverse builds from players on both sides.
Some or all of these ideas might be harder to implement than others but I think they would go a long way to restoring balance, maybe even try them out in a tournament mode to trial them before making them permanent, certainly some sort of reward incentives need to be in place to encourage people to switch to a new way of playing.

just remove SwFs perks and no addons with items and that will be more fair.

Remove SWF off the game. Don't let players play in a group. Make them all play solo.

They will never be able to remove swf though, as much as we all might wish it, most survivors would see it as a major slap in the face and walk away from the game. I think by making multiple changes to a new mode where party chat is disabled but survivors and the killer can all hear each other would be the middle ground, with the perks having set values and only one of each character there would be changes to how people build their perks too, if a killer or survivor tried to run two unique perks from other characters they would only be able to use 1 more perk from either their own characters perks or the non unique perks. All of these changes as well as the upcoming dev update would make for some interesting games imo.

The SWF are sat in PS4 chats so how can you can stop them using the chat?

Code the game mode so it boots anyone who is not in game chat, if they can get it to detect when a party is active then great it can boot them from the lobby. I'm sure there are people out there much more qualified than myself who can figure that out.
