Survive with friends abuse
I'm tired of matches as killer where I'm no where near a red rank and people have alternative accounts as survivors to bring their friends in matches to give them an advantage! From now on if survivors are in a lobby with other red rank players they should have to get red tank killers. Anyone who disagrees with this knows that they are guilty of doing it.

of course thats how it should be, however the devs care more about survivor retention rate than killers, since survivors are far more in number and will bring in more money. So if new survivors are forced to play against red rank killers that just kill them every game they are less likely to keep playing. Instead they allow red rank SWF to manipulate the matchmaking allowing new players and their thousands upon thoursands hours played friends to queue against new killers.
If that killer gets frustrated of going against imbalanced matches and quits so what, they will just be replaced eventually.

I've lost more matches as survivor then killer so that's untrue. However when you get matches to where either the survivor or killer has played so damn much and had that much of an advantage it gets ridiculous.

The problem is that there isn't enough killers to go around for the amount of people playing survivor so once someone's been waiting for a match beyond a certain point they're just going to pair them with the next available killer.
This is why killer queues are instant because it's looking to put you against who has been waiting longest instead of people your own rank.
MMR is coming out soon but it won't fix the issue of to many survivors and not enough killers so it will either not work or if it does then queues will get even longer than they are now and I don't think that's something the devs or the players want to happen.

Don't really see how it's a SWF problem as solo players even do this, and sometimes intentionally de pip to do this if they don't do it on an alt account. The problem you're describing is called smurfing
Also your solution doesn't seem like it would work. All people would do is go on an alt account, which is easy to do since you can make another alt account and share your steam library with the alt account to get DBD for free on that account. You'd still be going up against red rank survivors but on covert smurfed-ranked accounts.
edit: Also your solution doesn't solve the problem of experienced players playing with their friends who are new to the game, as it's also not fair for those new players to be with red rank killers from the get go to learn the game. It goes both ways, but a solution should be had nonetheless

iirc, matchmaking currently matches you based on the highest rank in your party. Unfortunately, matchmaking is so broken that red ranks go against yellow ranks anyway.

you just described survivor privilege in a nutshell as well as why the system is designed to hold killers back
