SWF quetions

I know playing with your friends is really fun but it is kinda unfair for killer, I am a rank 3 killer but I can't win with good SWFs. I would like to ask would there be a nerf on SWF? Nerf survivor isn't good for innocence survivor players because they are a good person, SWF players are not. Is there any way to disallowed voice chat in the game?

    lots of them are running meta perks, all purple flashlights. When you finally get 3 of them down and going for the last one, one of them have unbreakable and everyone back in the game. Or you finally down someone then 3 survivors use their purple flashlight and instantly save their 'friend'. You can't even beat them if you have incredible skills

    You can if you use the right perks and/or Killer. If you see a team that has all flashlights, why aren't you using Light Born (my favorite) or Franklin's Demise to counter that?

    Why are you slugging all 4 instead of hooking after each down. I can understand slugging 1 and going after the other, slugging all 4? What strategy is that? It sounds like bad one if at all.

    what will you do when you see the last survivor? Of course you will go for him unless you are r20. Light born and franyln ? Garbage, I didn't expect they are SWF so I won't bring them, killer should can know are the survivors SWF

    What does a group being a SWF's have to do with picking Light Born or Franklin's Demise when 3+ Survivors bring flashlights?

    If you see the last Survivor, it's your call to either down them or hook the others. It sounds like you got greedy and made a poor choice that ultimately punished you. It doesn't mean you're a rank 20 if you ignore the last guy since you downed 3 others. It means you have a plan, or you want to prolong the game.

    Maybe if you're trying to bring up a conversation about SWF, don't call them bad people? They're just people who want to play a game with their friends...

    But agreeing with Desh - you can always adjust builds to what you see in the lobby. SWF or not, if you see a lot of flashlights, bring something to counter it. Players that are good at the game can still come together to perform like SWAT SWF or wtv it is people complain about, and it's because they're good at the game. They have situational awareness and know how to make use of perks and items. I know when I see a bunch of Medkits, I switch to Plague.

    In regards to VC, I think it's been mentioned in a thread before that it's illegal (or something to that effect) for the game to interfere with third-party software. But also people dont' all use VC, and sometimes it's not even for SWFing. My friend and I VC while each playing our own killer matches sometimes.
