I just want to know if I played against SWF
Seems like it should be pretty simple to see after the game. That way you know if you really did go against a coordinated 4 man or you just had a bad game. Might improve the feeling that everyone is SWF.

Yea that would be I little inconvenient because the survivors would have to press something to note they are in a SWF and depending on the number it would but difficult but would be cool

Not really, the game can see if you are a party when you queue up together, the only difference would be whether or not they are actually on comms, and if they are the degree to which its banter/coordination.

Yes! I have wanted this for so long, especially with the ammount of very good and well coordinated teams that claim that they were just lucky randoms.
I don't see the harm in showing killers after the match who was in a team and who was a solo player.

What if you played with 4 super strong solos or casual SWF (which are plenty)?
Still that misconception that SWF=Pro team. There are thousands of SWFs that cannot loop more than 10 seconds. And many many solos that tear killer a new one (saw it myself numerous times).
In short:
- That info won't do any good
- Illusion that all SWFs are sweat teams is illusion.

There are already people and ... certain streamers. who blame everything that goes wrong a SWF problem
even when they play just legit badly.
so this will make people think that swf are actually a problem
when it really is not. like at all.
most swf are just 2 mans having fun

I mean I've been in matches where the killer asks or accuses/insults me about being SWF when I always run solo. I do hope a change comes as well.
I sort of feel bad for killers that do this because their ego clearly takes a hit to the point they have to ask/accuse. But its also conveniently a compliment since you played so well/were so coordinated that the killer can't fathom you being on your own and just playing well or being a great teammate. I get it though, a lot of people do say they're solo when they are SWF. But I'm sure there's also a healthy amount of those people who were telling the truth and killer just didn't want to believe them, lol.

that could help killers to recognize those survivors later as SWF and avoid them i dont know if i want that

I don't have a problem with seeing this info after the trial, but I can see a reason why they won't show it.
Many "serious" killers keep track of survs they wish to avoid for one reason or another. Providing direct proof of SWF members will get those survs onto the black books of many killers, and the dodging increases.
Lobby dodging already borks up the matchmaking badly, we need no more of it.

The real reason we don't have a feature like that might be crossplay. Sure they can track if someone on Steam is playing with a friend on Steam. But when it comes to consoles? I don't see this. Very hard to track towards all plattforms. And would need Microsofts and Sonys permission aswell i asume.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but they made the ingame party system specifically for this reason. All they need to do is use some kind of bracket or color coded icon marking in post game lobbies showing when people were partied up with each other. It might seem like a useless gesture to have something like this postgame, but anything that can reduce paranoia in this game is welcome imo, especially with the cheating epidemic going as long as it has.
If you see the same names paired in multiple lobbies, it kinda already gives you that info anyway. Steam users can just keep changing their names as it is, and anonymous mode options have kinda-sorta started rolling out. If anything I think most would want a feature like this just so that they can stop second guessing why their stealth killer seemed to have a harder time finding survivors than they did being found, trapper wondering why every trap got disarmed the second they were in chase, and so on. Having an answer that comms broke your core gameplay mechanics is more assuring in that it is at least a reasonable explanation.

TBH if its in post game i see no reason not to put other then work needed to implement it.

Honestly wish this was a thing so killers could realize every difficult game isn’t a 4 man swf lmfao

I also want people to know if there was a SWF, so people can stop accusing me of being a 4-man while i'm doing solo queue.

I wouldn't mind people seeing in postmatch that I queued up with a friend. We know our level isn't very threatening, so it's not like killer would have any reason to think we were sweat city. :)
I'd be curious to see who was a swf when I play killer as well. I always assume I'm going against solos, but my friend is always grumpy about those "damn swfs too strong" even though he's low mmr and never plays solo himself haha !

Too many beers last night, posting in wrong thread again lol

Don't get me wrong, there's is no reason to not support such a feature. So either they don't know how to do it or it's no priority right now.
I'm suprised they actually never talked about it before, mabye they didn't even thought about it. Who knows.

I have thought so often "grrrrr! That survivor played like *******! I will write their name down and never play them again!!!111" and not once dodged a lobby because I recognized a name, just because my chicken brain won't connect the dots and I am too lazy to look up some notes I might have taken ages ago, when I was a baby killer.
I get what some people say here, ie that not all SWF groups play super good or coordinated, but are just some friends who want to have some casual games. But I still think that this info would pose no harm to the game. Killers would see that they play nearly every game against at least a duo SWF even though if they had never guessed it, and the times they get totally wrecked they might take some solace from the fact that "this was a legit 4 man SWF swat team!!!1".
Of course any such change will also bring a new wave of toxicity, ie some killers who will go all out ala "fufufu, you were a 4 man SWF, but I just WRECKED your sorry asses!!! Fufufu please uninstall, I am soooo great at this game! Muwahaha!", but eh, you will have the small minded peeps doing their thing no matter what.

It would absolutely be good to see if you went against a SWF in end game. That way you can be realistic about the odds not being in your favor, or you can hold yourself accountable and realize calling it a SWF is really no excuse. Although I'm not so sure it would be helpful to show who's partying up together in the lobby before the game.
