SWFs

There are 20 killers in the game and only 2 can win against a competent SWF. Spirit and Nurse. So what if I like Clown and I want to play him (which I do and I get 4k's with merciless in some of my matches) ? Well, you can't. You can't win every match as Clown while you can win every match as Spirit or Nurse. Why ? Let me tell you.

Basically, after rank 4 and below you start to encounter these players that are insanely coordinated. Someone is about to finish a gen, you down the guy and when you pick the guy up another survivor sprints to finish the gen even tho they weren't there 30 seconds ago. Against this, unless you are playing Spirit or Nurse of course, you can't win as a decent, casual killer. You have to be VERY good to win against these people. If a game forces you to sweat like a madman to win a single game, that's not good balance.

I know that not all SWF are like this and some are very chill and just playing with their friends but just the thought of one of these teams coming up scares killers. These types of teams are just not fun to play against. Just to note, I'm not talking about de-pip squads, they are on a whole different level. I'm talking about very coordinated and extremely SWF groups so basically de-pip squads but worse.

So, basically, if you add 20 killers into the game and say "You can only play 2 of them after you reach this rank" just don't make the other killers. If someone wants to play Trapper, Clown, Hag or Legion they have to be VERY good because if they go against these teams, there is no winning with those killers unless you are godlike (like Otzdarva). You are given the illusion of being able to play 20 killers but in reality you can only play 2 killers after you reach the red ranks because just the thought of encountering one of these groups scare the crap out of you.

Please BHVR, do something about this. I can't even play a killer game without preparing myself (mentally and physically).

Edit : Or add an unranked mode. That would be cool too.
