Suggestion: Letting Killer Know if Players are Partied Up
I feel like at this point in the game, this is a QOL feature that is needed. Sometimes SWFs are obvious. Sometimes some groups are wrongly labeled as SWFs and then some unbeknownst players are blindsided by a no mercy killer. I think killer mains can all agree that if they suspect a SWF, it changes the approach to the match.
I'm not saying single out the players that are partied up together. A simple X out of 4 players partied together would suffice I'd say. SWFs are able to go into matches with plans and tactics and comms. The killer getting a basic prompt alerting them to a party and how big isn't a stretch by any means.
I think it would also cut down on some toxicity as people would chill a little bit more and be able to accept that they made mistakes instead of blaming a SWF when it may not even be the case.

I'd be for it, but we all know that would just increase dodging. Devs don't want that, so it won't happen. Then again, they tend to try and bury any complaints about SWF, as it's what makes them money.
A better option would be to show SWF in the post game lobby. At least then, you know who was who. Yet again, though, devs don't care.

If they did do this, I'd want the ability to change killers and players are penalized for dodging lobbies too many times.

This is typically a false suggestion where the OP really just wants to dodge SWF lobbies.

I'm fine with this being shown, after the match has started. Perhaps put like a link chain sort of icon between the players in the HUD on the left.

I would like this as both a solo survivor and killer. May I also suggest that surviors can hover over their teammates and see their perks? This would allow us solos to adjust our load out to our team :) (or add coms in game but that may be asking for too much).
When I play killer tho I would like to be able to switch characters. When I suspect a swf and I'm on a killer I don't know as well I just dodge the loby. If I could switch killer then I could pick one of my stronger killers and be able to do decent against a swf. I'm not against playing swf, I just want to be at my best when I do!
People already dodge lobbies. Adding an indicator of swf groups won't change that. There are people who don't want play against swf and then there are us that do.

If premades were indicated in the lobby they would be dodged each and every time, no incentives would work imo, and they'd never ever get a game.
Can't swap killers as it's tied into the MMR tracking (on a side note surve being able to swap around their stuff there is also kinda bs) so that can't be changed unfortunately.
Indicating a SWF after a game I'm ok with, even knowing the "heated discussions" that would likely follow.

They "don't care" because then there would be irrefutable proof that full parties and solo que need addressing and that the games balance is basically around 2-person teams.
