Plz give us a Option where the Killer can turn of SwF so U are Not get Matched against SwF Groups.


Im so tired of having Instant Loses Games because SwF is so broken if u dont play Meta Killer like Nurse, Spirit, Hag, Freddie and maybe Blight and Oni u dont have a Chance in high rank against a SwF Team

In my Last Games i Had a SwF Team that has finished 4 Generators in Just 1 and a half Minutes and i wasnt bei able to Hook my 2nd Survivor also Object of Obsession is Just a broken Perk in a coordinated group


Plz Devs do Something against SwF i would rather have longer waiting Time than having Games that are so unfair


Or nerf some Meta Survivor Perks or Gen Speed or give the Killer some Perks Like the old Ruin or Something so U have better Chance to Gen Protection. Survivor have so many Perks and Add Ons to make Gens faster but the Killer dont have any good Perks to deacrease Gen Speed

    Sure SWF is basically a better version of solo q more than half the times. But this would literally discourage to play with friends at all, and will probably make people quit the game because how frustrating solo Q can get, and not just the "toxic" swf, also just casual people in swf that play for fun.

    I 100% guarantee you that if this were a thing this setting would be enabled immediately if the killer hears about it. And thus will eliminate any swf team out there because of how hard it'll be to find a game.

    Solo Q needs more info, object needs nerf, yes. But you don't fix a problem by getting rid of it (Most of the time).

    Also if they completed 4 gens in 1 and a half minutes.. it seems like you played very poorly, or were matched with people out of your league, so perhaps a matchmaking fix would fix your problem.

    And thus, people never got to play with their friends again.

    And barring some major shenannigans, 4 gens in 90 seconds sounds like you literally left every single survivor completely uninterrupted on a gen since the beginning of the match. Which.. I mean, bad luck that they spawned spread out, but that one's all you.

    Yeah this is the Problem If Killer would get the Option alot Survivor would quit the Game but SwF still needs some nerfs maybe If u Play SwF the Gens Speed decrease how many Friends are in ur group ?


    And yeah the Matchmaking is awful im a Rank 6 Killer and Had a Game whit 3 Rank 1 Survivor wow


    Also the worst Thing of the Game Most of the Maps are very Survivor sided :( i Mostly Play Twins

    Perhaps instead of nerfing SWF, nerf the ######### perk OoO already. Including ds/ub. And give solo Q a buff, like more info on other survivors.

    How many of those built in vcs would actually help you as a team in solo Q and not just a 10 year old screaming your eardrums out because you're not unhooking them when no ed is on. It seems like a good idea, but it wouldn't make that much of a difference imo.

    How do you turn off SWF? Disable invites?

    not necissarily...

    People need to understand that it´s not the intention of these devs to ever balance this game. The game got released 5 years ago, who actually beliefs in them trying to balance anything? They want it to be broken as it is.

    People that win games feel good and keep spending money. If they lose they stop playing. Its just a milking industry.

    No one would want to willingly play against a swf so therefore swf groups would never find a game.

    Adding built-in voice comms is the best thing BHVR could do. Not every random solo would use it but at least it would be there and the devs wouldn't have to walk a fine line on balancing the game where one group communicates and another doesn't.

    It is impossible to balance DBD because there are two groups of players that play this, one of them is hugely disadvantaged because they have no way to communicate.

    SWF is the main problem at DBD, but for devs is a blessing, tons of pple spending money on cosmetics , so, they are not going to nerf nothing on survivor side never.

    If you want enjoy, play Lobby simulator as survivor or play anothher game, playing as killer is just BS if you dont use meta perks and meta killers.

    Or just run Insidious and stay AFK looking to the roof if you get matched against premades, that is what I do when Im tired of getting smashed game after game.

    That's the idea. SWF play to only entertain themselves. They're a nuisance for solo survivors too. This game isn't going to die because teenagers and twenty somethings can't make life miserable for other people.

    Some people would see facing a high rank Spirit and Nurse as guaranteed loss.

    I would like to ask would you accept being able to turn off swf if the killers you mentioned like Hag, Spirit, Nurse and Freddy weren't able to be played against solo players? Think that sounds quite fair.

  • MrGrizzly
    MrGrizzly Member Posts: 143

    You're half right, there are still SWF out there that play with friends just for fun and don't even sweat. Plus some people only want to play swf because solo q is just sometimes the worst out of survivors.

    So perhaps some deserve it, those that depip to bully brown ranks, but the casual people don't deserve getting rid of.

    I think it's fairer if you enable team comms by default and then balance the game around every match being a swf of sorts. It won't happen, but it's the fairest resolution.

    It sounds like you literally suck at the killer. I main a level 20 billy and a level 40 wraith with like no perks at red ranks and don't see the problem. Tbh I find playing against SwF more fun, especially when you 4k the toxic clicky clicky flashlight ones.

  • Ink_Eyes

    The game woould probably die if they do this, and the devs know it because they have never done anything to try to address the issue, besides solo queue is basically 4 blind, deaf and mute sheep vs a lion, I'm already getting 4k's versus full team of red ranks as a rank 13 killer playing perkless, SWF is probably the only real challenge a killer has, removing it or nerfing it will basically mean no challenge to play as a killer at all...

    Not all SWF's are toxic. I play in a swf and none of us go out of our way to upset the killer, and we don't escape every game. To assume that every swf is toxic is a very narrow assumption.

  • Grandpa_Crack_Pipe
    Grandpa_Crack_Pipe Member Posts: 3,306

    ..yeah.

    SWFs play to entertain themselves.

    With their video game.

    It's kind of the point.

  • kaijudane
    kaijudane Member Posts: 139

    Don't be pedantic. You know exactly what I'm talking about. Hook diving without borrowed time, using keys with 3 or 4 people left, trying to work with the killer or leave an "offering" early to try and get the hatch.

  • kaijudane
    kaijudane Member Posts: 139

    2500 hours says otherwise. You are correct in that it's not EVERY swf team because that would be statistically impossible. It's still prevalent enough that I think it should go away.

  • Grandpa_Crack_Pipe

    Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. But big sweeping generalizations sit bad on the tongue.
