SWF ruining event
I took 3 months off because of the state of the game. Came back to enjoy the anniversary event. Surprise, surprise. SWF litters the landscape and makes it impossible to participate in the event because everyone is just telling each other where everything is as usual. I had 5 games in a row which was 4 man SWF. Whoo so much FUN! The cherry on top is the fact you get severely punished afterward.
Listen if it was my skill, or lack thereof, that causes me to lose fine. However, to get hosed on points and whatnot because people are exploiting a bad balance flaw is one of the reasons I left (again) in the first place. If you can't balance the game mechanics, can you at LEAST take SWF into consideration at the end screen so I don't keep seeing entity displeased every damn time? Adjust the scoring or whatever to compensate for the giant GAP SWF causes.

Agreed. That happened to me so much I had to walk away for a while. I'm so fed up.
As for SWF, I love a good SWF. I appreciate the challange of going against a well organized team. That's led to many fun matches, and matches that have proven more challenging, memorable and ones I can be more proud of in the end.

How are you sure they were 4 man swfs?

You can't always. Sometimes you can tell if they're all in the lobby dressed the same, or they all load in at the same time and sometimes you can just tell by the level of game play and coordination. Of course I've been accused of being in a 4 man SWF when everyone is solo so like I said, you can't always tell. It's like knowing when a killer is running discordance. Sometimes you can just tell.

If you sit in red ranks, SWFs will be everywhere. However, As a solo player, bad killers get absolutely dominated at any rank. Then you have a COMPLETELY BROKEN Match Making system. I get rank 20-14 killers playing solo at purple ranks and i refuse to SWF. I'm pure solo. Have been since 2017. It sounds like you need to tank your rank. There is utterly ZERO reason to be in red ranks besides getting the achievements.
For almost 2 years now, I've refused to get into red ranks. I'll hook suicide or DC until I'm not. I don't care and nor should any of you. The Devs don't care about balancing outside of bandaid fixes nor are they at all adamant about fixing gamebreaking things(Like how i still fall through the floor in the basement occasionally, and STILL to this day since i started in 2016, i get stuck in place on roots, small rocks or even corners and cant move until i'm downed, picked up, and hooked). Until they start taking better care of their game, I personally won't care about other people's game outcomes. Purple is as high as i'll go. Red ranks are zero fun all sweat.

I'm at red ranks and I'm not sweaty. Why do I stay there? Because I don't leave my team to die because I had to suicide on hook to get back into purple ranks.

That's mostly because how this events functions.
Survivors NEED to escape. So they will be more tryhardy after they get the crown. Killers just have to finish a trial.

It's not just SWF that are doing it to be fair. I've had too many matches today with Solo players who get the crown, then proceed to sneak around waiting for us to each die on hook while they sit on the hatch. It's a pretty low way to earn a cosmetic when others in the match could also want to get it too. Events like this really do bring the worst out in people.

Just fyi, in the past three months, rainbow ranks has become a common thing not indicative of SWF. I am often put into lobbies above and below my rank by more than two colors.

Wait a few days, it will probably calm down.

I understand the frustration because I also like to play as killer. I actually think they should give after-match bp bonus for facing SWF.

So it is lack of skill. So live with that.

Lol “dressing the same” doesn’t equal a 4 man swf. A lot of times I’m sitting in lobby, see someone is playing the survivor, copy them, then it snowballs, loading in at the same time also doesn’t equal swf. I only play solo queue. I’ve had many games, where everyone is solo, but we must cosmically be linked because we all have a sense of where each other are, which gens were being worked on and rotating when needed, etc.
A lot of what’s called a “swf” is invented by streamers, to cover up their lackluster gameplay, and its slowly trickled down the community.
just my 2 cents

I have a bigger issue with the amount of killers tunnelling one survivor the entire match and camping hooks just to secure kills something needs to be done about this otherwise I'm going to be done playing the game.

Love these asinine comments lack of skill is all you got from ops post. 4 man red ranks vs a rank 13 killer of course its lack of skill because i go in as a killer my rank expecting my rank players but get top tier swfs... survive with friends needs to be fixed and balanced there are many other games with rank systems that dont allow people outside of their brackets to party up, why not dbd, ill tell you why greed is the only reason swf isn’t touched.
by all standards that bhvr gives us for nerfs swf hits every check box fun to play against? no. able to be countered ?(comms) no. Exploitative? yes.

Its not a challenge, it is entirely unfair. As a rank 12 killer I wait 10 minutes for a game, only to be paired up with red rank swf. It is ruining the game. Considering it is a breach of the user agreement everyone agrees to to play the game, it is surprising that nothing is being done about it.

"I love a challenge" and 4-Man SWFs don't go together.
It's not a challenge, it is downright stressful.
It's almost impossible for a 4-man to not be toxic because of the amount of confidence they have when they're together, they're annoying to go against and even when you're dominating them because you got lucky and picked a meta killer it just still feels extremely unfun. But hey don't take it from me, take it from tru3 and many other streamers who actually play both sides, at least in the red ranks at both.

Yep.. killers get fed up with stupid matchmaking miss-matches, SWF and toxic teabagging that they decided that a kill is a kill....

Since this thread is about the event I can easily say Killers are much more capable of ruining it,
As killer you can get crown, afk and just get the crown.
As survivor you have to get crown and escape, which is impossible if you get camped/tunneled.

How does the killer „ruin“ the event by going afk? Lmao

You miss the point
