SWF general rank

I think its pretty stupid that when you play a swf group that the ranks are generalized which basically lets rank 5-1 survivors play with their rank 20-15 friends and get a killer nowhere near the higher ranking survivors skill level, its the survivors who should be punished for playing with friends of a extremely different skill level rather than the killers.

    There have been more posts than I can shake my stick at regarding this topic. One of the more prevalent suggestions (aside from the usual "remove SWF" ranting) has been to make the "matchmaking" based off the highest ranked SWF and not take into account the lower rank friends.

    Alternatively make a casual queue for it. Not ranked as tbh swf is not a competitively challenging to play in. Every time the devs try to balance around this it only serves to hurt solo survivour without comms the intended way DBD is meant to be played. Make a casual queue where people can play meme builds and have a less optomised death squad style gameplay.

    You don't get any season end rewards for ranking up. This is casual already.

    Find groups based on the highest rank survivor in the SWF.

    Make it harder to pip, and then remove the ability to drop rank during seasons. That way, SWF groups with ######### team mates get punished when they play solo since they're crappy, and you won't have de-ranking hitsquads to mess with killers.

    SWF can be fixed by taking the avg rank and make that the rank for queu i know thats how it works, but if they add a simple extra thing, for example if ur in a SWF with a 1 and a 20 instead of taking into consideration to queue with 10ish, it will automatically goes down by 1 or 2 points depending on the performance of the party on each game, making it unfixed, also the higher the gap between SWF parties the better the avg of rank for the queue to find killer .

    OR....
    SWF becomes a mode of "FIXED TEAMS"
    whenever u play with "X" friend or friends u will get tagged as teammates and be rank separately starting with the avg o the team and going up/down depending on performance (separately with ur own ranK) also u will have a database of all the friends u have play with so the rank doesnt wipe out whenever u start playing with someone else and then go back to play with the other friend
