"Play against SWF groups?" Option
Give Killer's the option to avoid SWF groups. Just like with Cross-Play you have the option to play with/against those on different consoles there should be an option to play with/against SWF groups.
I feel like something like this is totally possible and should definitely be implemented. It in no way affects the groups gameplay wise, it's a search filter.

Considering that 2 or 3 man SWFs are more common than full 4 man SWFs. You'll basically have longer queue times than survivors do right now.
Plus there's no reason to implement this feature. SWFs deserve to play the game they paid for as well.

I'd be willing to wait and though the queue's will be longer at first I think people will start to understand what's going on and just queue as solo. For the Killer, I believe the experience will be well worth the wait.
When did I say SWF's aren't allowed to play the game?

Because you want to implement an option where people can choose to not queue against SWF groups.

Yes, because not all Killer's want to play against SWF groups and I'm one of them. I really want to play Killer but I don't enjoy it and I blame that mainly on SWF's. Are you saying I'm not allowed to enjoy the game I payed for?
As I said in the original post, this in no way affects SWF's gameplay wise. It's a search filter. It doesn't prevent anyone from playing.

This is exactly why it will never happen. SWFs will be the ones to suffer the longer queues - perhaps to never be matched with a single killer.

I am not saying that I support the idea of separate queues, but the fact that basically no killer would willingly play against swf speaks for itself...

"perhaps to never be matched with a single killer" - Hmm...I wonder why that would be.
In any case, those that want to play in a group will still have the option to.

You can still play the game you played for even if not all your matches are fun. DBD is a pvp game and sometimes you'll just have bad games.
You want to implement a feature that many people will opt out of and that will negatively impact people trying to play with friends.

Yes, you're never guaranteed to have good matches every time but for me, with this, it'll at least feel fair. In SWF games, the vast majority of them are bad regardless of the outcome. It's just too stressful.
Well, I mean it's still not preventing anyone *from* playing with their friends and it will likely make a large portion of the Killer community happy and perhaps bring in more Killer's? Makes playing Killer more enticing.

I'm not so sure about that. There are some highly skilled Killers out there that tend to use those red/purple add-ons. I'm sure some of them would be up for the challenge.

Everyone will say that no one would want to play against SWF and just disable it, which I agree. However that should really highlight a problem.

I disagree even Scott said they should implement a feature to avoid swf. I’m pretty sure queue times will not e a problem look at overwatch when they implemented role queue it made the game healthy no more insta locking 4 dps and no tank. It’s 2021 get with the times gramps

idk... although sweaty SWF are really frustrating and are almost a guaranteed lost match for the killer, a filter like that would inflate queue times. also, why would a killer willing to rank up ever disable that filter? It would basically be a filter that would make killer games easier.
