SWF Idea

So.. hear me out here.... what if we...locked SWF group to ranks 1-5? No more smurfing, no more SWF at lower ranks. IF you are a lower rank your rocketed up to play with the big boys. Instead of you know... one lowbe friend bringing hell down upon the lower ranks. Good idea? Great Idea? Suck? Discuss \o/

    Killers will derank/hate being at high ranks.
    Killers will be unprepared for SWF once they hit high ranks.
    Casual survivors that play with friends will quit.
    Tryhards will lobby dodge until they find their friends.
    Players will have less of an incentive to invite friends to play the game with them, seeing as they cannot play with them.
    Queues will be significantly worse.

    If you mean that any SWF rank is adjusted to reds, then it's still dumb. Why shouldn't it be the average rank? Instead of 4 rank 20s queueing up against a rank 1 Nurse?

    If they are gonna ever do something about SWF, it should be giving killers bonuses against them like a couple of more perk slots.

    Anything that will negatively impact SWF might kill the game. They can't take the risk.

    Best solution imo is to introduce in game voice comms. They can balance the game around it.

    Add opt-out option. If people want to play with friends they can play kyf, it's always there for them.

    Nope, simply queue SWF groups based on the member with the highest rank.
