Fixing swf

Because they realize this game isn't meant for comms, and they backed themselves into a corner by allowing SWF in the first place when it comes to balancing?

You can't nerf SWF. Punishing players who play with friends is simply going to drive them away, and BHVR doesn't want to lose that cash pool.

If the devs were really serious about balancing out SWF (and at this stage of the game, I'm convinced they are not), they would redesign, or create, new information perks that give solos similar information comms does. Kindred is a good example. They can then buff killers to compensate.

people that say swf is op, have given up on getting better or actually trying and are just using it as an excuse because everyone will back them because everyone else wants it gone, even tho if swf was gone, your lobby queues would be garbage because most people would ditch the game because theyd go to a different game where they could play a fair game with their friends in

when i play killer, sure swf is more challenging than 4 solos, but guess what? swf means they WILL save their friends, so that means you shouldnt camp the hook either because you will be punished hard for it, yes with comms swf get a few free perks, but guess what, the devs have given the killers free perks and addons as base over the life of the game, brutal strength, blood hound (on wraith when hes cloaked was a thing, think its been reverted now), doctor and legion get tracking built into their abilities so basically deer stalker and nurses, and some perks themselves used to have incentives to rank them up noed used to only insta down at rank 3, devour hope only had mori at 5 stacks at rank 1, now rank 1 gives everything for all perks, leveling them only increases the benefit slightly
