Keys And SWF Are Fine.

How many god-level SWF's did you actually go against?. SWF is pretty common at red ranks, yes. But most of the SWF's are chill and they are not really good. I dont understand why you take this game and SWF too seriously. If you lose, just give a cheers to your opponent and move on. I think you exaggerate the power of SWF. As i said you dont go against a good SWF too often. You cant win every match, accept it.

As for the keys, i dont think key escapes happen often. And i know even though you complain about the keys you bring it at least once. If you hate keys SO much just bring franklins, its not that hard.

The things you should complain about are Spirit, Nurse, Ruin + Undying, Wraith and OP Myers addons. Killer is the power role in this game if you know how to play it.

Dear killers, if you expect to win every match, just play with bots with the new update.

    doesnt matter what advantage keys give. They dont happen often. Simple as that.

    The thing is, the swf doesnt have to be god-level. The individual player just need to be at my skill level, and then swf will push them far beyond my capabilitys of winning vs them.

    If they are above my skill level, swf just make this more pronounced, but doesn´t change the great outcome, but might still rob you of one or two kills you might have gotten.

    If they are below my skill level, swf can rise them up to my level and make a good game, unless they are too far below my skill level, when this wont help at all.

    Do you think matchmaking is trying to give me swf slightly below my skill level?

    And keys? Yes, i think they are too focused on them, because key escape makes about 3% of all escapes. Thats quite ok i think.

    Not an original one-of-a-kind troll post but at least you keep the ball rolling by throwing more bait answers into the thread.

    Definately A for effort.

    Keep up the good work!

    Those are the most entertaining ones. When the poster keeps up. Sluzzy for my taste is not interactive enough anymore.

    The SWFs have been so bad in the past week that I have stopped bringing cakes as the killer, since its not worth wasting the cakes. Its also to the point where I'm contemplating either playing only Stridor Spirit or just taking a break until the event ends.

    I recognize that people like playing with their friends. I think SWF is good for the game, but I also think its a broken mechanic that allows way more coordination than was planned for. There is no warning that you're facing a SWF, there is no reward for playing against a SWF, there is no Hex:Disable Voice Chat, and killers can't switch in the lobby to a better killer. All you can do is guess and dodge lobbies, because it could be 4 solos, it could be a few friends looking to have fun, or it could be a sweat squad.


    Also Franklins doesn't destroy items anymore, only gets rid of charges, and keys can be used when they're out of charges to open the hatch.


    So no, SWF is not fine. Keys are not fine. Spirit is not fine. Matchmaking is not fine. I'm reserving my judgment on Wraith and Mikeys tombstone add-ons.

    These are just my own thoughts. I think SWF is fine since you dont go against a good SWF often

    Yeah, I've been watching all the tournaments and killers are insanely strong. Someone 4 k'd Oracle with Myers yesterday crazy stuff. And that truetalent guy wrecked them with Wraith

    Just as good nurses are rare but she is broken from your perspective.

    Also sarcasm goes right over your head, hm? As far as I know, both killer either had a truly hard time or got wrecked.

    yeah this week has been rough for me as killer nothing but sweat from survivors.

    Yeah man, I love to die on second hook because the Meg wanted her key escape :) Totally a well designed mechanic that gives deserved escapes.

    I played against four yesterday alone. One loss was my fault for playing too nice and letting them hook swap and do gens, one I lost due to a sabotager and experimenting with a new Nemesis build, one was a bodyblock/flashlight squad that I was simply not equipped to go against and one I won easily with a 4k despite a long and very miserable match,

    When did Sluzzy have offspring!?

    Long time ago, it's just most of them get caged because they forget that sluzzy avoids insulting killer players themselves.

    I did agree with SWF in casual isn't as bad as people make it to be. All of S and A tier can handle it. And most of B tier. But, Ruin+Undying aren't OP. Neither is Wraith. Only two Myers add-ons are an issue. And there are things you can do against Nurse and Spirits(RIP Stridor) because very few are truly god with them. Keys are an issue they did do something to alleviate this slightly with a key with no charges not being able to open hatch

  • Hektic3000

    Franklins doesn't prevent key escapes since survivors that know you have it will just drop the key themselves, not like you need charges to use the key anyway.

    I don't mind chill swf but its the groups that demand everybody do gens in 3 mins and that everybody gets out, i hate having to fight against 3 borrowed times and all my grab attempts not working cause of latency and body blocking.

    I accept that I cant win every game but survivors don't seem to want to accept that at all on their end, they will rage and complain about anything the killer does to win.

    Killer is the power role and yet they rely on survivor mistakes to preform well....

    Once you actually get good at killer it starts to become the power role again. I will say that console killers tend to be at a disadvantage though. After playing with a mouse the controller just feels like such a major handicap.

    Most killers just run ruin, pop, or corrupt because some streamer told them to and they consider running gen protection perks as pressuring gens so when ruin gets cleansed, or corrupt runs out, or they can't get enough pops they claim pressuring gens is impossible. Then they just play on repeat: find survivor, chase survivor, hit survivor, chase survivor more, hit survivor, hook survivor and complain about being counterplayed.

    I dont get the hate around people bringing keys. If I see a key in a lobby I know what to expect. The only problem is that purple and pink keys can spawn in chests without any sort of luck offering or plundering perk and that sucks because you can't prepare for that.

    Most swfs are just people goofing off on chat while they play together, true. Probably 50% of the sweaty teams are actually solos who are all super sweaty and just play together really well. I've had matches as survivor where the killer thought it was a swf and I was like "nope, solo".

    OP Myers add-ons? You're talking about Tombstones, I assume. I mean. Do you realize how much of a toll that takes on the stalking? Sure, you can delete a survivor, but if everyone's working on gens in the meanwhile, you're still going to lose.

    Also, Franklin doesn't wholly counter keys anymore.

    If you're having trouble with Wraith, then you're either playing against a good killer or you're a bad survivor. Spirit can be annoying. I get that. Her counterplay is nearly non-existent. But Nurse? Nurse takes serious skill and has already received her fair share of nerfs (along with having her own bugs to contend with). Nurse is fine.

    I refuse to believe you actually think this. Survivors escape with keys all the time. Red and purple keys are still more common than they should be. No way youre not baiting.

    As a solo survivor, the problem with keys are when people stop playing or never even start, with the intention of just finding hatch. This "fix" isn't doing anything to address that.

    I mean.. most of the SWF's i play against are usually chill. And i have some friends who get a lot of chill SWF's instead of tryhard ones.
