I'm a solo queue player, solo queue isn't the best, but having no killers seems worse, killers seem to think the game is survivor sided, but it's not its swf sided, the unbreakable, DS, and other op combos I honestly dont see them in solo q, maybe a ds here or there but not really the combos killers complain that all 4 swf use, so I had a suggestion idk if it would be liked but what if in a group each peek can only be used one time orn2 at most so only 1 or 2 people.can bring in DS or unbreakable. What do you guys think?

    Players have asked for survivors in groups to only have 1 perk per lobby, so 1 ds, 1 bt, 1 self care, 1 sprint, 1 deception etc. It's fallen on deaf ears.

    Most of the players want SWF balancing out so it's not as sweaty as what's like right now.


    My previous match today. I downed a player, he went down next to a locker where a player was in waiting for me to pick them up so they could head on me and force me to drop the survivor. Luckily I was just out of reach of this and walked away with the survivor.

    hopefully in the future we will see a balance happen on SWF so it can be toned down a bit, hopefully by limiting their perks, add ons, offerings, etc.

    Sorry, but no.

    You buy the game, you grind for perks, play whatever the ######### you want.

    If you are getting your as kicked as killer, well keep grinding, you will get better. Or you will depip and find equal competition.

    And if you are afraid of SWFs, learn to lobby dodge. Q times are instant.

    I personally would say, don't nerf SWF, but buff Solo Queue. To bring them a bit more in line. That way it should be easier to balance the game.

    It's plain and simple.

    You either delete SWF which will fix many of the game's issues or make it to where the more people in your group, the slower you do certain actions.

    There's also just the option of adding voice chat by default, and then just balancing everything with that in mind. Obviously, there'd need to be a mute system so players could just silence rage kiddies, but at the very least that would mean all Survivors are presumed to have equal footing on information availability.

    It's easy to blame SWF when you've just been bullied as killer. I fully understand that. But taking the time to cool down and analyze objectively outside of the game environment, I legitimately have come to the conclusion that Swiff really isn't the problem with DBD in the grand scheme - the 'have your cake and eat it too' of balancing for solo while leaving it in is.

    Just don't accept SWF lobby. I check as soon as I arrive in the lobby if the survivors know each other and I leave if they are SWF. It is the same if the four have their profile in private.

    Thats correct, if you delete SWF, BHVR would not need to care for the game anymore, since it will be dead.

    Ah yeah, sure. I bet the Devs will gladly kill their game so that Killers, who always use SWF as excuse for their own mistakes, will be happy for a short while.
