SWFS are broken!!!
I am seriously reconsidering playing killer. I just kept getting iri 4 swf over and over again. The last game I played I only got a 1 hook yet had to deal with constant flashlights and teabagging as well as constantly havingto snuff infinitehealing boons. Real fun game. When you play games like Monster Hunter, COD zombies, Diablo, etc. There is a bit of a difficulty increase when you come in as a group. This game has no balancing for it at all, Especially when people who've played this game for thousands of hours and Have only 1 killer prestige, which is annoying because you have to wade through the endless rubbish just get perks you earned or paid for with shards, in the first place. Yet, they nerf killers to balance the game, so they say, but not SWFs? I shouldn't feel frustration playing this game but today after constantly going against SWFs, I did nothing but de pip and how unfun this situation is. I wonder does anybody else feel the same.

In b4 people talk about player skill and divert attention away from SWF and what it breaks.

SWF is something that shouldn't have been implemented into this game. Unpopular opinion is unpopular it also inflates other ranks with people who shouldn't be in them because their friends take the chases for them. These players don't experience all aspects of the game so they complain. I have played games with Red, Purple and Green ranks that can't run for crap but can pound out generators all game.

There's 2 types of swf in this game. The ones who play chill and want to win but don't stay glued to gens every second of the game.
Then there's the swf that plays like there is a million dollar reward awaiting them at the end of the game if they get a 4 man escape. Almost like they are being chased by a killer in real life and that ######### is boring and busted.
This game would be so much better without the second SWF.

How do you even know they are a 4-man?
Do you have a SWF-sense or something?

How do you know that they weren't? Did you have access to their chat log after the game? But your right the same 4 people can be in the same lobby more than twice without them being a 4 stack. Yes the poster of this is venting about frustrating games without giving too much about what happened during the match I'll give you that but that doesn't warrant a snarky remark.

I don't think SWF are broken. The game is inherently broken. You can do this with randoms as well but they have to be good survivors grouped up together which does happen as well.
Also doubt all your matches were SWF.

How could you have possibly known that I was being snarky?
My point is that the OP doesn't know and is likely looking to blame their loss on the easiest thing they can.
Most of us do something similar.

There are more and more SWFs being made because soloQs are seeing how "well" they work with coms. If Coms were not being used the matches would be more fair.

When the Survivors are named "Waldo 1", "Waldo 2", "Waldo 3", and "Waldo 4", and they are all playing the same Dwight in the red and white striped sweater, I don't need to be Spider-Man for that tingle to go off.

this post is unnecessary and parrots the same thing that all the other low effort junk says here
nice name btw

Not really. I'm a strict advocate for Solo queue being totally fine at high rank. You don't need communications to spam generator and last a whole minute in a chase. That's literally all you had to do. And if you have a the game and map sense of a potato there's Kindred to help you to be more efficient.
Game is inherently broken. SWF just make it more apparent but you can do this pretty much on Solo queue and I have done it numerous of times.

Wait, you don’t? I thought we all did. 🤫

Okay, but that's not what OP said.

The Xbox One high-MMR (??) community is so tiny that I played the same 2-3 SWF's all day every day.
They hated me and I hated them, but there was a mutual respect there too.
So no, my SWF radar is woefully underdeveloped due to me only seeing like, 12 people for 6 months straight.

Remember that not all 4 toxic men are necessarily SWF. In solo i ran into 2 and 3 men that i suspect were SWF, so many times.
The whole game they did nothing but run after the killer, flashlighting, bodyblocking and all that stuff while I'm moving around doing gens to get out of there.
Most of the time i play solo and my solo teammates are toxic, the killer have to see their silly behavior either at the exit gate or after a pallet drop. Does it make me toxic based on the fact that I got matched with them?
I play with my friends sometimes and we never ever bully or trying to annoy in any way.
The fun we find is in the game itself, not in the opponent player who has to play against 4 players. We will not ruin his fun because he is alone.
Other people who find it fun to ruin someone else's fun, it's already a different analysis of personality or whatever it is.

Well, i would say you dont know what the op knows.
People told me i didnt know if i was facing an swf when i complained, even though the team i was facing told me they were an swf after the game. But the forum people knew better...

I said the last few games I played were SWF. I know this because each game there was a map offering. They also 3 out of the 4 had the exact same build. And There was constant body blocking. Now I now solo's can do this but when the whole team does it after I injure one of them, yeah it's a SWF.

Bad matchmaking does not equal “SWF is op”. If you are getting people with a higher grade than you, it does not mean that the fact that they are playing together is relevant to the game matching you with someone who is more experienced.
Also, Everything from flashlight saves to bodyblocks can be done in solo queue as well. This also includes the random BM (flashlight clicking/teabagging) This isn’t an exclusive feature to SWF.

You can't say SWF is broken when Blight exists.
0 -
They are both broken :)
1 -
I do bet the killrates of Blight overall is way higher than the winrates of SWFs.
0 -
What if the whole SWF is running No Mither? Than they really are broken.
0 -
What if Blight is running Forced Penance? Double broken
0 -
True. And than the SWF uses deliverance? More broken than that vase i once accidentally dropped.
0 -
The SWF uses Deliverance combined with Second Wind, now that's truly broken
0 -
And than they use for the people on the killer and are quintuple broken
0 -
Then they get hit by Legion Pin

We're approaching levels of broken where bones might as well be considered a liquid.

Don't forget that Victor also causes the Broken Status Effect

Do you think people would do bones if they could just drink them instead of picking them apart?
