SWF must be visualized in the result screen

I gave up on visualizing the SWF before the match.
However, it should be made visible on the result screen.
At present, killer has no way of knowing why he was defeated.
Is it just my playing bad?
Or was it fraudulent with voice chat?
The killer cannot be judged.
This is too dishonesty for killer players.

    I have suggested that before, but survivors protested that killers will write down their names, so they know if they are SWF before the next game you have with them. 🙂

    That being said, you can tell when a team is coordinated. Whether or not they are on voice really does not matter if all 4 are efficient.

    Imagine being that pathetic to write down the names of former SWFs you played, to dodge them next time. lol.

    @Topic:

    Absolutely, after the Match. This would also open the eyes for some people, who are complaining that they just lost vs a 4 man SWF, when it was a group of competent Solo Survivors.

    You can generally ask post game and they’ll tell you... it would be nice to get some kind of cue with the campfire to tell if they’re swf because you do have to play differently. Just had a super fun match where they sent me to Haddonfield and popped 3 gens simultaneously.

    I don't see issues with knowing who was actually in SWF or not, and I think it is actually helpful because the playerbase thinks they are facing more SWF than they actually are. Adding to frustrations in "dealing"/playing with them. Finding out could give people better "statistics" on their own.

    I've seen legit SWF members lie about being SWF, "Im solo haha" etc. Like I don't see the big deal about it. Instead of killers having to ask and get lied to, or wrongly accuse people and get heated in chat. I think it could help.

    EDIT: Also I disagree with this arguement of "writing names down", clearly if you see all 4 players re-Q in a lobby .... it is extremely evident and if you just faced them and had a horrible time, I imagine they'd just hit leave. People will write names down regardless of this ability to know if they were indeed SWF. Killers usually assume it was SWF when it wasn't, I feel.

    This could lead to more lobby dodging. You can remember names of survivors from groups and could then use that info to know when to dodge. I don't think this would happen

    Right now, killers assume SWF, and have the ability to write names down... some already do... I don't see how this has an effect, other than perhaps not writing as many names down because they now know they are not SWF.

    Ideally what should happen is blocking peoples names like a stream sniping mode, until the end and add this function. Killers can't dodge certain players, and killers can get to find out what kind of match they were in at the end, instead of being frustrating and accusatory of SWF even when its 4 solos, then coming on here to complain.

    @Pirscher Those are really good. Good job!
