Do you mind going against Swf?

I kinda take Rancor to assert some dominance, but I dont care, if 2 survivors escape. I never check, if its swf or not. One thing I pay attention to is toolboxes. If I see 4 toolboxes, I'll take at least green mori.

As a survivor main, I think that the killers wouldn't mind it so long as they didn't get tbagged and flashlight clicked at every pallet/gate. I play a lot of solo survivor and I have a lot of braindamaged teammates that clearly see a low rank killer and bully them into eternity. Even when I play with friends some of them choose to do it when all I want to do is leave and get on with the next game.

I don’t mind at all. A major flaw in the SWF argument is that it’s not the clicking SWF button that irritates killers in my estimation. It’s that playing against better players is the problem.

For all the talk of getting dominated by SWFs, there’s none about all the SWFs the killers turn upside down. Because those aren’t really SWFs.

I am not convinced this isn’t a skill problem yet. They can talk to each other but the mechanics of the game remain the same.

It won't affect solo mode, I said in a previous comment that it only happens when it's a group of 4 SWFs.

Lack of aura information can be deadly when the killer makes slugging survivors. Just imagine it.

I like swf. I enjoy the challenge and it's super fun playing with friends (although I don't have any lol) but when we talk about solo que and a swf in the lobby... It's a gamble.

You're banking on the fact that they are good teammates or they play super funny. On the other hand I feel like I don't really have to explain.

I don't see why people complain about swf when it's quite literally the smartest choice a survivor can do. It's obvious why some people complain about it which is fine but not when they think they are entitled to going against swf that play in a certain way.

I mean, I wouldn't mind going against SWF if they didn't always bring the decisive crutch loadout and act like manchildren

I'd rather be outplayed by an actual good player than lose to someone who relies on 50 second chances to waste all of my time

As a console killer main, (I suppose platform doesn't really matter anymore) I don't mind playing against swf anymore than playing against random stack, and I will explain why. So randoms have a certain playstyle and mindset that they want to pip no matter what this will lead them to sacrificing their fellow players not literally but they won't play optimally for 4 people but instead play optimally for themselves which in the big picture is better for the killer, but on the other side swf, even three stacks survivors will often throw everything they have to save their friends this allows some killers to shine amazingly well, like The Executioner, The plague, leather face, or The shape (I'm sure there are more but that's the top of my head). I'm not saying that it's easier but as some killers I would prefer to play against a swf team. Now the elephant in the room is the communication, but you can actually use this to your advantage as if they receive bad information and relay it then all of them have this wrong info. A weak example could be playing doctor and making fake pallets and the survivors tell each other some pallets are left, but one more applicable to higher level play would be the perk dark devotion as the obsession after being hit may believe they are still being chased if line of sight is broken from killer and all that good stuff, feeding wrong info to the other three or two, of course this isn't the only example but it's the one I see work most in practice for myself. Anyways that's my 2 cents. Make sure to take it with a grain of salt.

I like SWF.

I think the idea that the game is only balanced around solo queue is an antiquated one. Especially when you consider that many things have changed since the beginning.

You have more unsafe loops and yet bloodlust is still in the game. You have the oblivious status introduced which can throw off SWF teams. You have perks that literally give away your position as a survivor, which didn’t exist before. Immersion (while still somewhat viable) is not reliable all the time.

I don't mind it but it's stressful AF

Not much. I hate when they get same map iterations that can be abused really hard but other than that no. Don't like their toxic behavior toward killers and some survs that is not in their team...

Doesnt matter really..have to deal with it

I honestly don't care. I've long accepted that it's part of the game and isn't going anywhere, and I'm not going to stress over it.

If you have good killer perks, swf is pretty balanced. You can get into the psychology of it and trick them into giving false information to each other, and you can be more confident that they'll go for altruistic actions. I just don't like it when I get body blocked by 2 people when a 3rd sabotaged the hook im headed towards. Otherwise, im fine with it. The only thing I can think to fairly counterbalance SWF is anyone who lobbied up gets aura blindness while the killer is carrying someone from their party or when someone from their party is on the hook, that way they HAVE to communicate very clearly. If a random is being carried or hooked it doesn't trigger the AB, and the random doesn't get AB when someone who's partied up is carried/hooked

I dont mind playing against swf. They are usually very altruistic and predictable because they wanna help their friend(s).

I don't care if people are in a swf in principle, it is annoying though when there's a toxic jerk in the swf and it leads to the other members being just as rude in chat to back their buddy up. And there are some balance issues with people on comms that the devs probably should address at some point but nothing that breaks the game enough for me to not play or try and dodge swfs or whatever.
