Does Anyone Know How SWF Affects SBMM?
Like how does it calculate the teams MMR?
A scenario in which all survivors have a score of 10,000 but one of them has an MMR of 8,000 what will the theoretical MMR of the killer player be?

It doesn't matter how, since MMR is hidden, the Devs can just continue on as normal placing SWF against baby killers.

If it was cheating then there wouldn't be a perfectly legitimate way to join a friends lobby and queue together with them without loading a mod launcher or doing something to the games files. SMH

The official dbd discord has voice channels for SWF so you might consider it cheating but the Devs certainly don't.

So would it be cheating if I was in the same room as someone and actually IRL talk to them?

You could use the steam voice chat and you would technically not use a third party program because you need to run steam to play the game (if you play on steam of course).
You can also sit in the same room and talk directly.
But in the end that doesn't matter, because it's not up to you to decide what is cheating or exploiting and what is not, the Devs do. And you can complain all you want, it will do nothing as long as the Devs see things differently.

The irony is palpable.
Congrats on the ban/warning, though.
Seems you have a lot of growing up to do.

They affect it terrbily. I get left on hook because I'm the random while everyone is fully healed and the killer isn't even camping me.

I swear 90% of swf are over alturistic maniac's that throw the game the second one of them go down. Half of them don't do gens and they all suicide for unhooks, it's so rare a swf team comes in like seal team six, does the gens and uses voice to evade me and leaves.
I'll extend the olive branch that when you're new to your killer it's a lot harder to snow ball off them and it can feel like "bullying" but once you get good with your killer they are so easy to snow ball off and the games actually become super engaging and entertaining.
If they announced tomorrow that swf was removed from the game I probably wouldn't play killer anymore it would be too boring and I say this as someone that barely ever swf survivor.

If you haven't learned how to adjust your playstyle to swf like everyone else has to the point you publicly cry about it on the forums humiliating yourself and also exposing yourself as not very good at the game you should probably hold back on commenting on the intelligence of other people.

The Developers are not banning for it and support swf voice chat. It's very clear that its not cheating but keep repeating your mantra.

Thanks Mods - I know garbage day is usually Thursday, but I appreciate the assist.

I don't think anyone actually answered you, so...
SWF MMR will be averaged. So lets say you have two at 10,000 and two at 6,000, the average MMR of that SWF is 8,000, so the killer should theoretically be around 8,000. (completely made up numbers of course)

They are not, but you also can't stop people from using the steam voice chat (or the build in console voice chat as far as I know) without stopping them from playing the game, so even if the Devs would not want people to use voice chat they couldn't enforce it.
I'm sure the Devs understand the Definition (which is btw not as clear as you think, google it, there are different ways to define it, ranging from using third party programs to gain an advantage to just playing the game not the way it was intended) they just decided it doesn't apply in this situation. And that is what I'm trying to say: It doesn't matter what you think if the Devs say "this is an intended way to play the game" than it is an intended way to play the game, even if people use third party programs to do it.
It is fair to think that SWF gives an unfair advantage and to criticise that but insiting that is it cheating when the Devs, who will always have the last word in this situation because they make the game rules, have said that it is not, will achieve nothing but make you look like a stubborn child.

Thanks! I didn’t know what the others were talking about but this answers my question. Wish I could give you more than a thumbs up, like a star or something. Wait, here’s one ⭐️ :)
