SWF Misconceptions

A lot of people complain about sweaty SWF squads. I like to play with my friends but, they are all pretty bad at the game. Being on comms isn't that big of a deal when survivors don't know perk mechanics, looping strategies, ect.

SWF doesn't make up for experience, trust me.

    It does, if you don't like to have fun. But because most people want to have fun and don't like to do actual genrushing, it's thankfully rare that a 200 hour SWF does that.

    Although they tend to predrop a lot of pallets, which is frustrating in itself.

    SWF is one of those things that's a massive powerspike if you can get 3-4 people all playing the same way, not wasting time and being very co-ordinated. But, that's a rank 1 kind of thing, and the rank 7 3/4-persons I've been going against all night (who are all PC players, ######### matchmaking, I don't have "PC only" on) have been extremely chill players that I've been accidentally brutally steamrolling because I'm still stuck in the rank 1 mentality of dialling it to 10 at the beginning of the trial. Then we're 3 minutes in, someone's dead, 2 people are on the ground and I'm only just realising that only 3 gens are done.

    I do not remember how to chill out.

    Rank 1 / Red ranks will do that to you. I usually pip up to Red and then have a miserable time. Pipping to Red as survivor doesn't take much skill, you just have to play enough and not be horrible. If you had to actually be good, like Red Killers, I think Red rank Killers would be waiting a long time for a team to play against.

    SWF is the boogeyman of this game, you say their name, people cower in fear and hide under the bed while in reality most SWFs are pretty manegeable.

    Not saying SWAT bully squads or depip squads are a myth, they do exist but they are excedingly rare, if a Killer is getting bullied by every 4-3 SWF is because they are bad at the game, not because all SWFs are strong.
