Swf rank balance

Im rank 18 killer, I played 10 matches today. Each one had swf where one was at least Rank 11 and lower. 2 matches where I had a rank 4 survivor and the rest were 8-11. When i was rank 1 survivor my brother got the game and I joined him as swf, each match i was a rank 1 survivor versing rank 18-20 killer. 

How is this even remotely fair?

There needs to be a better system where a high rank survivor wont be paired with a low rank killer just because there's one low rank swf. Swf of these types should be placed mid rank or 3 ranks higher than the high ranked survivor.

    I don’t think it’s always SWF either...

    Ive been queued in versus killers many ranks lower and higher despite a 4-stack SWF with a close distribution of ranks.

    Part of it is the matchmaking extending the search for matches when it takes too long for an SWF team to find one. The other part is just pure trash matchmaking. It's supposed to take an average of the ranks, but from my experiences at low rank Killer, there's no way unless they were waiting a really long time. Multiple matches where it's 3 red ranks + 1 rank 18-20.

    My own thoughts on this is that you shouldn't be allowed to SWF with someone 10 or more ranks lower than you. There needs to be a limitation because bullying the low ranked Killers in this manner is disgusting. They are trying to learn, most of them, and having an SWF Death Squad coming at them will frustrate them possibly to the point of leaving the game. It's bad enough that Survivors, and Killers, can derank and bully the new players as it is, just so they can polish their ego.

    Update: 
    Decided to try again today hoping it was just an off day. Im Rank 19 and I was put up against 4 swf. 3 of which were below Rank 11 and one guy was Rank 18.

    Honestly why even bother with a rank system thats ignored through swf

    Everybody knows that SWF isnt fair, it was added to a solo-survivor game. Of course it is broken if survivors can communicate in the game and if high ranks group up with low ranks,t hen they face a low rank killer, but thats a different story.

    My advice is that you look at how fast the survivors join. If they all join at the same time or very shortly after each other, then its most likely a SWF. Anything larger than a 2man SWF should be dodged by you if you are an unexperienced killer.

    In fact SWF is something that should only be possible in casual mode, it shouldnt be a thing in ranked mode
