Just want some advice...
I've been playing the game for just over a year now, on PS4. I like to share my time between playing as Killer and Survivor, I dont really have a favoured role to be honest.
Anyway, one of the biggest issues I have as killer is coming up against 4 man SWF teams who completely destroy me and I just dont know how to counter their strategies.
So my question is really, what is the best way to deal with a survivor, or survivors, who is constantly looping me around an infinite and how can I really apply pressure on generators to stop them being completed so quickly?
Thanks in advance guys.

Best advice I'd be able to give is to stop the chase with the looper, often SWF groups have one or two dedicated loopers who are insane at it and the rest can do gens in the meantime. Stopping that chase and finding someone new will be your best bet because they'll either be worse at looping or about the same.
With most SWF groups the dedicated looper will follow you around anyway trying to get your attention so they will not be doing gens in that time. There's always the chance that everyone in the SWF group is really good at looping, in that case there's not much you can do if you aren't able to counter their looping or catch them off guard with your power/perks/add ons.

If their looping you around an infinite (or really long loops, like Grim Pantry central building, McMillan ironworks, fractured cowshed, torment creek god window) there isn't a guideline to follow for every situation. If you're a Trapper you can block the infinite, Doc and Clown kinda too. But the thing you need to understand is when you have to leave a loop (this is also important when you come across strong setups, which you need to recognize).
Against swf, altruism is their biggest flaw, so expect to get instasaves or people around the hook. Camp survivors if 10 seconds remains for the next state, if someone tries to save always aim for the savior. To stall the game despite being bad, ruin is still the best, pop is also good. Also discordance is good against teams.

Yeah, I usually realise that they're trying to distract me but sometimes it's too late (my mistake for taking the bait).
Makes sense though! I just wondered if there were any techniques on countering a loop or a way to gain the upper hand in that situation.

Yeah I think your right. I guess knowing when to stop the loop comes with practice really, and getting better at the game.
Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it.

Consider also running bamboozle, despite its bad fame, it's a decent perk, especially to counter infinites.
Ask anything you need to.

I just bought the Clown actually, so I'll start working my way to unlock Bamboozle!
