Built in Kindred
Solo survivor sucks, we all know this. Too many random factors with matchmacking when compared to SFW. Ranking differences (ex: rank 16 being with rank 6 and higher) There's no way to tell your teammates anything in game just gotta be lucky in finding good teammates. That is like finding a needle in a hay stack. Which is where the topic comes into play.
I remember during one of the dev streams (awhile ago) that they thought of making Kindred built in, when hooked. It was at the time when they were trying to balance out sfw. It doesn't give sfw more power and helps with some of the issues in solo (teammates not using time properly, camping, and not being saved being a few.)
So what are your thoughts on it? Would kindred be a neat change to give solo survivors a little more help?

I'd be fine with it being built in and having the kindred perk reworked into something else.

Adding it built in would be good.

Equivalent of built in kindred is built in bbq and whispers without points. Not even sure if thats fair tbh, kindred is and was broken. Genrush Simulator.
Just make swf face killers harder than their avarage rank and it will be ok.

All perks that SWF have auto-included should be built in, empathy, bond and all that stuff

The idea behind built in Kindred is to close the gap between solo and swf (just a little bit, but significant). This allows more buffs for killers (needed against swf) without making solo experience completely unfun. Multiple steps are needed for that tho, difficult but the only true way to balance DbD

They want to close the gap between swf and solo but instead for whatever reason decided to buff "kindred" in the plague chapter patch and not build it in like they were originally thinking/planning to

if you are a decent survivor who worked to get a decent rank, most survivors at those higher ranks are smart enough to know map presence. the only thing i have to say is maybe build kindred in for lower tier ranks such as rank 15+, for people who are new at the game, but even then it does seem kinda dumb. that would create bad habits for new players to rely on. kindred is fine as a perk, adding it built in would be a mistake.

To bring solo games closer to SWF level, built-in Kindred is one of many steps.
Don't forget that at the end of the day, killers also need to receive buffs because DbD currently isn't balanced for SWF.

Killers can have built in...noed so you'll have to do the totems.

What gap are you trying to close with that? Between Freddy and all other killers? Doesn't make sense for me right now.

I really need some friends for SWF. I've been solo since I started and... *sigh* it's not fun.
Especially for a relatively new player like myself. Gotta get BP and all that.
