I really REALLY hate swf
And I'm not even talking about playing killer...
So I played a match against hillybill and there was this Felix who was really good like REALLY good but unfortunately silly billy caught up too Felix and he died (I died as well) so I start another match and what do you know Felix is back!!!
There's also a Meg and Rebecca, so I'm playing as normal my teammates are pretty good except for Meg who wasn't the best... but she wasn't too bad I mean she did gens which is good! But she gets hooked and dies then Rebecca gets hooked and dies (FYI they were not tunneled) so I go to basement looking for the chest and Felix comes running in and hopping in and out lockers trying to get the killers attention and I'm SUPER confused by this point cause I wasn't being mean or toxic to ANYONE not even the killer, so I leave and start doing a Gen and Felix starts blowing it up so the killer will come after me so I go hide and he brings killer to me so for whatever reason the killers starts downing and hooking me but also letting me go and doing the same to Felix which is called "farming" im pretty sure, but I had enough and left to go do a Gen and somehow Felix knows exactly where I was and has the killer start killing me so I dc cause im not here to farm and I check the endgame and see that meg was still in the match... weird and wait a minute and Felix escapes so I join a another match and would you know it Meg amd Rebecca are back but strangely no Felix, as soon as the game starts Meg starts bringing the killer to me over and over and she ends up going down but i unhook her and go to meet up with Clare (the other survivor) and notice that Meg and Rebecca who changed and was now Carlos are like RIGHT next to each other the whole time doing gens and taking hits for each other and then I put 2 and 2 together and realized it's a swf!!!
That's why Felix was trying to get me killed because his team already died and how he knew EXACTLY where I was without bond...
I'm so tired of just trying to play this game and get stuck with swf who do this!!
Bhvr should honestly make a feature to turn off swf for both sides.

This behavior is reportable, just so you know. Deliberately sabotaging teammates and teaming up with the killer to kill them is against the game's rules. Keep that in mind the next time you experience this.

I did report then
I did report them but usually nothing really happens

Yeah, I figure, but it's worth a shot anyway.
I have yet to have truly sabotaging teammates, other than that time a survivor intentionally blocked the exit gate switch until the killer downed me, next to it, then opened it and ran out to leave me to die. I've hated 99'ing the gate ever since.
Still, sorry to hear you had to put up with such terrible players.

I play anon and I don't care if others don't like that, as it avoids toxic weirdos for the most part as griefing the anon doesn't seem as appealing to them for some reason.
I will also dodge a lobby if my team mates were idiots previously and this does not include DC's or going next on hook unless they do it consistently. But I have no time for people that want to behave like little children in game and I would rather wait longer to find a normal match

If I'm playing solo survivor and I find a lobby with an obvious 2 or 3man SWF, I duck those lobbies, no thanks, you can be toxic to someone else, and yes, I'd HAPPILY wait longer for lobbies to not be put with SWFs.

Sorry, but no
I had a game like this, recorded and reported

This has happened to me before too. 3 man swf, one with a key and hatch offering so I assumed straight up they were doing a hatch challenge. They'd find me and start missing skill checks on my gen, dropping pallets near me. One got tunnelled out and when the killer came to me I just let him hook me cos obviously I didn't want to play with these people who weren't even doing gens and just trying to sandbag me. Just my luck I 4% while trying to let go but the killer leaves me alone in favour of third survivor, who obviously kept trying to protect key girl. The dead survivor was obviously telling them which gen I was on so they kept coming to me. Then it was me and key girl left, and I found a chest with a medkit since none of them would heal me all game. Key girl comes and is jumping in and out of lockers near me. I let killer down me and sadly key girl got her hatch.

I went to the effort of recording a survivor who teamed up with killer and got us all killed - like they were literally body blocking me for the killer to get me. Support didn't even read it (didn't get an in-game notification, which one of the devs says simply means it was looked into). I won't take the time and effort again personally.
1 -
This story is really sad. As I read it I saw you wounded and discreetly foraging for a med kit for a chance at survival. I would have fought harder against key girl though..
0 -
Yeah I could have but honestly I'd checked out of the game from the start. It was pure chance that I was second last left since they did everything they could to get rid of me lol

Love the SWF teams who deny being SWF too.
Yeah I totally believe you just had 2 Head On SoloQ's planning every move.
1 -
Do you think the killer picked up on what was happening? Sometimes I wonder if they notice.
0 -
I have a ton feedbacks for such behaviour keep doing it.
0 -
I can assure you, I get accused of being in a SWF as a Solo more than I do when Im actually in a SWF
They are more than likely not lying, there is literally no benefit in doing so
0 -
when my swf dies i just laugh at them and keep playing like normal then probably die bc my swf is better than me lol
0 -
If I were the killer in such a situation, I would definitely sacrifice Felix!
Now let's wait for the dev response. It's good to have good news.
0 -
They planned ahead and knew my movements while 2 survivors ran Head On and mostly ignored gens. I was playing Stealth with Dark Devotion, Nemesis, Furtive Chase and Game Afoot as well and yet they knew where I was at nearly all times on Hawkins.
I've played enough killer to notice when survivors are a bit too coordinated.

I mean I myself run Mettle of Man even in Solo Q, its basically only when I run MoM that I get 'accused' of being in a SWF. Its a perk that requires good positioning and when done effectively can seem like Im in a SWF, but nah, just all by my lonesome using a fun perk.
Also what reason is there to accuse some one being in a SWF? As said before there is 0 benefit in doing it, and also how does it benefit you? They dont get anything, and you dont get anything from it. So whats the point?
0 -
Look, if you can't understand what exactly I'm saying after I deal with matches where survivors are talking to each other, giving full information on the killer and using bully-squad tactics then deny doing it when it's COMPLETELY obvious they're doing it, there's nothing I can tell you to convince you.
And just so you know, I also run MoM on soloQ. Guess what the bully squad didn't run? MoM. They ran every other popular bully squad build perks.
0 -
I mean, fair, right.
But youre also talking as if you talk in EGC specifically to call them out for.. what exactly?
Also I used MoM as an example as it requires very good positioning and can be seen just as effective as a SWF when in reality its just 2 good survivors with a good understanding of the situation.
I also dont know what you mean by Bully Squad perks since they can get away with pretty much anything if the killer is inexperienced.

in the past BHVR has explicitly stated without a video and a ticket submission online they wont do anything. Idk if that's still the case

I don't have a huge problem with SWF in general, I think in any modern game you should play with friends.
But lemme tell ya, they're absolutely horrible at times. I tend to ask every match for SWFs when I can because I myself am curious how many SWFs I do go against. So when I get an obvious one where the signs are there, they're extremely coordinated to a T without aura reading or any real indication, and are extremely toxic in endgame I tend to not believe them when they're saying they're not a SWF.
Extra points for when I find out they're friends on Steam.

Even Solos can seem coordinated if they all so happen to be decent at the game, and imo those are some of the most fun games you can have. 4 people who arent on comms understanding what to do in most scenarios is really something, and its even better with an experienced killer. Its truly what the game is meant to be.
As for bully squads, just dont let them get to you. Theyre not that hard to deal with, since most of their strategies are countered by patience, and slugging.
1 -
That's good advice for those (thankfully) few and far between bullys.
In general SWF tend to be overly altruistic and very risky when trying to get everyone out, and there are strong ways to take advantage of that.
