SWF Ruins the game

Done with this game again, I can only get a couple of days at a time before I run into a 4 man SWF on comms, its no fun, its obvious they doing it, swarming the hook all at once and timing body blocks perfectly, telling each other (cheating) where the killer is, always splitting up unless a body block is needed. Having BT, DS, Dead Hard, obvious still overpowered perks. Killers get nothing like this, and exposed dosen't trump any of these powers. There is no counter play to SWF, and survivors get to have fun with friends but killers have to be on thier own. SWF should be in ranked queue and there should be a casual queue for those who don't want to play SWF. People still get to play with thier friends and killers get to play a fair game finally.

    As much as SWF is basically legal cheating it’s here to stay. They can’t remove playing with friends that would kill their player base. Some people say a swat SWF is rare but their really not that rare. Best advice I can give you is don’t take your killer matches seriously if you go in with a competitive mindset in a game where one side can basically choose to always win you will be disappointed.

    Must be nice to run with a team and win that much,,,solo sucks and players are just de-pipping and de-ranking because someone suicides on the hook because they got hooked first and/or DC. I have given up keeping my rank since no one else seems to care about theirs. This is not to mention the various pips I lose because someone DC before the match starts which happens routinely!!

    But they can and should sepereate swf from solo queue, and balance them both seperatly.

    Killers might choose if they want to go against swf, where their killer is stronger compared to solo queue. If both modes are balanced, there is no reason for killers to opt out of playing against swf. They just don´t want to face them as long as they have such uncompensated advantages.

    I think then you'd just be left with the (few) survivors who are willing to play only solo queue and are already used to it, meaning they are more likely to rely on crutches such as dead hard or bt given that it's (apparently) easier to die while solo queueing. I honestly think there's only so much communication can do for people in this game, unless we're talking about compettitive teams which you rarely see on pubs. Don't think it's worth separating the queues.

    When they swarm the hook, camp hard and slug, keep someone on that hook. Secure a kill, then another, they're often so used to being successful they'll throw the game trying to stop you. Don't be stopped.

    Fun story : a friend of mine started playing the game early 2021 he’s rank 17 with Killer and he was like it’s too easy, so I told him hop on my account “which is rank 5 and I always match against rank 1 swfs lol” he did that and I was sitting next to him watching the game he matched up against a full team of swf legacy dwights with purple flashlights and as soon as they caught glimpse of him being a noob they started swarming him and flickering, they showed him hell and he got so mad but them trying to bully the killer cost them the game, he was able to eventually slug them and hook them for a 4K.

    Yes Swf/competente solos just shows up that the gen can flys before almost all safe pallets are gone and you take only a pair of hooks. Also surv brake your hexes, but for now they can abuse broken stuff like second chances, keys, 4 medikit, new parts and soo on. You can only tunnel/camp one guy to death before last gen pop, slug and repeat. Pressure them and maybe they will do some Mistake you can capitalize because they all want to escape (less frequent in solos) and sometimes probably bully you/being bored of game cause unbalanced and easy for them.
