    Except the literal reason that SWF is only an issue BECAUSE of third-party options - as for language barriers, that is literally a lame cope-out, literally nearly every single modern multiplayer/team game has voicechat, you are part of a minority if you don't include it.


    SWF wouldnt be a problem if third party talking didnt exist, so why not make the gap between SOLOQ and SWF smaller by naturally having the option to communicate in game as an ACTUAL option? like.. most games do?.. None of the reasons you have provided are legitimate lol

    Playing with friends is the only reason I play games online as is for almost any multiplayer game if I wanted to play solo I would go play tomb raider.

    I never said they were legitimate reasons, just what they gave. But I also think they will not add it either.

    Swf should only be in customs, they can’t even make another queue like literally any other game for only solo queue. The game is dead tbh, I literally see no popular streamer playing this game besides the streamers that get paid to play this unbalanced crap.

    and tbh balancing a game won’t kill it. That’s like saying fortnite no build mode killed fortnite because building is the main reason people play Fortnite

    Killer should be able to see who are SWF in the lobby. Like in OW, where you could see who are playing together. "But this will cause killer players to dodge lobbies" Yes, that is true. But it also gives killer players freedom of choice. Now they are mostly forced to play against SWF's. If survivors have the right to play as SWF, then why shouldn't killer have the choice to avoid them?

    I play both killer and survivor, but mostly killer since I tend to not have a lot of gamer buddies who are on when I'm on. Long story short, consider me a killer main.

    People WANT to play with their friends. That's how you build a community. SWFs are necessary. Forcing people to play solo is not a good idea...even if it's difficult to go up against.

    As a Killer main I don’t see SWF’s as an issue. Communication doesn’t matter if they can’t loop very well.

    The actual issue is the map design. The vast majority of maps are just too big. (Looking at you, Autohaven Wreckers, Raccoon City PD, etc.)

    If the majority of maps were smaller, (not dead dog saloon small, but still) more competent survivor squads would be a bit more managable, regardless of communication.

    Nope, but Behaviour should balance game around them, not around random noobies with less than 500 hours played that cries for everything.


    They could make an experiment, as they did with MMR, separating queues for one Weekend and they will see the reality of the game. Nobody will queue as killer against SWF, that will show that something is not working fine, something is not balanced.

    I am dreaming, making angry the most played side is not the best way to keep selling skin$... so do not wait for that change xD


    Or show the killer who is SWF/ Duo, and who is solo, and let he/she decides if the game starts or not
