    Lol, it's not like The Killer goes any easier on teams that are soloists or just plain mediocre. Why does it matter to know when most will play hard anyway? I have never seen a killer go easy on bad teams; they play just as hard and often unnecessarily so. Even when the scales are tipped heavily in their favor, they're relentless and show no mercy. Maybe if The Killer would relax a bit when the match is going so well, people playing solo Survivor will have less incentive to want to group up. When I'm The Killer, I can quickly surmise that this is a potato crew or soloists, so I adjust accordingly. I don't try to dominate and usually let everyone escape. I don't think implementing an swf designation for The Killer will advance the stated goal in any meaningful way.

    Dunno about before, but they should let us see swf after the game at least

    If people think you shouldn't see swf before the game because killers would dodge, don't you think there might be a big problem with swf in the game?

    Solo survivor is downright masochistic. I refuse to play solo survivor at this point I just SWF(Gonna get so much hate for saying this. 😆) and play Killer. Whenever I play Killer all I see is an ocean of disconnects, jerks leaving their teammates to die on hook, Megs self caring in corners and urban evading around and everyone being super skittish and refusing to do gens. It's actually worse then I remember. And I remember it being really bad... Sure, you never really get bullied I guess but it grinds you down far more I would argue. I kept quitting the game over and over again and only coming back because I wanted to play killer but kept telling myself "maybe survivor will be different this time?" Nope. I just get grinded down over and over again until I finally quit being shy and joined a discord group.

    And no, I don't SWF because "I wanna be a try hard and have my hand held" I SWF because I don't want to deal with the above. If you think those things are fair you have no right to be talking about how the other side wants it easy. A disconnect for you is fun because it means you get to stomp the opposition. A disconnect for the survivors is soul crushing, feels hopeless and is entirely out of your control. When you get bullied as a killer you feel like maybe you can get better, but when a survivor DCs you just spend the next 10 minutes wasting your time pretending like you can actually do something when you know very well you can't do anything at all.
