Kill rates vs. SWFs

Does anyone have a resource for stats comparing kill rates (of killers) when going against a SWF vs kill rates against full solo queue?

    After the last time they released kill rates me thinks it's going be a long while till they show numbers against.... People lost their minds on both sides

    Last time swf escape rate was around 10% higher than solo

    At the highest mmr, the difference is at most 15%.

    For the vast majority of players who are of average skill, it's within few % difference.

    I doubt BHVR will ever release those stats again. It’s just going to show how busted SWF is a higher MMR levels.

    They've never shown SWF escape rates, only made vague allusions to them. Hmm I wonder why

    To clarify something here, the difference in escape rates for SWF groups can be as much as +/- 15%, but this is at the most extreme end of the spectrum. In reality, very few players are actually in this range. The distribution of people across all ratings is like a bell curve. Most people are somewhere near the middle, very few are on either end (high or low skill). The average SWF group, which makes up the vast majority of SWF groups, has little to no discernable difference compared to solo players (within a few %).

    They purposely use qualitative language like “as much as” and “vast majority” because they don’t want to share the actual stats. All they need to do to prove that SWF isn’t busted AF is to share the data so we can all see it. But they never will and there’s a good reason for that.
