Nerf gen speed when going against 3/4 people SWFs

There are too many swf players who do have a god complex even though they're not even good. This would be a simple solution to punish those.

3 person SWF group = -15% action speed

4 person SWF group = -30% action speed

Duo queue isn't strong, it differs very little from solo queue.

Just 3-genning every game doesn't always work, this isn't 2018-2019 where survivors didn't pay attention to it.

    Yeah, 30% action speed sounds totally reasonable. /s

    I agree 3/4 SWF groups are too strong but this solution is just not possible, there's multiple problems here:

    • In the 3 SWF group scenario you're also punishing a solo player (who's probably already having a hard time bc playing alongside 3 SWF is a nightmare most of time)
    • Punishing SWF in grey ranks and half the time green ranks too is plain unnecessary and would be unfair to them
    • A killer seeing SWF in lobby could just take slowdown perks and make the game as unfun as possible
    • Making the game unfun for SWF just because they're playing with friends is most likely not a good idea for the viability of the game
    • 30% is just way too much lol

    This shouldn't matter, bullies should get bullied, but about the other facts, hmm yeah might as well should be thought through.

    You dont get bullied because you lose a game. Since you are aiming for Action Speed Reduction, you seem to lose quite a bunch of games. But as I said, you dont get bullied only because they won against you.

    Worst case with your idea is that the Survivors who REALLY play just to bully Killers will still play, but the casual SWFs will stop playing. Because players who just play to make the Killer/Survivors feel miserable dont care if they win.

    I believe it was either Scott or Otz that said this but to be honest gen speed is not the problem its chase times thats the problem there are some loops where it can take up to minutes to even catch a survivor on add that with swfs who know how to do gens and that's what causes these issues again nerfing gen speed is bad it will only lead to exit gate timers being smaller AGAIN it won't solve the core issue.

    so first off, the devs have repeatedly said they arent going to punish people just because they are playing with friends so thats not gona happen. Second of all doing gens together is already slower than doing them solo. You arent ment to win every game just like you wont lose every game. Everyone wins some and everyone loses some.
