Killers are helpless and its going worse and worse...

Just don’t play Killer if you don’t enjoy it.

People will try to change your perspective of the win condition for Killer or tell you to get better.

But no one can criticize you for not playing that role. The earlier people come to terms with and accept this simple fact, the better.

I havnt read any comment here, just as a preface if my buler points were already addressed: peeps rightly claim that you shouldn't be punished for playing with your friends and that dropping the Hammer to savagely on SWFs would severely hurt the game, and this peeps are right.

And while a lot of killers paint all SWFs groups as blood thirsty bullies that make playing a decent game impossible, the vast majority of times SWFs play right into the killers hand by being extremely altruistic and favoring going for a risky safe, instead of slamming this gen and letting their buddy marinade into second hook stage.

Fully tooled up SWFs are a true nightmare, though, and if they are committed to just winning, splitting up and favoring gens instead of friends in lieu with BNP and toolboxes will nearly always see them through with rarely more then 2 or possible 3 hooks by the killer.

I offer two solutions that would help to defang the situation, without hurting peeps who just want to play with their friends.

1) Show who played with whom after the game. The killers who would write down all the SWFs groups should be even rarer then true SWF seal teams, but this would show killers how many of the games they rolled actually had a SWF in them. And in the cases were an extremely well coordinated SWF tabled the killer, they couldn't gaslight them by claiming "lol, no we are soloQ and never met before. You were just bad". There is basically no reason to withhold this information, as openness about the perceived OPness of SWF contrasting with reality can only help to sooth both sides.

2) Don't allow duplicate perks and addons in a SWF. A casual group of friends might only have to adjust slightly, until everyone finds their niche, and someone might discover their new favorite build or perk this way. In my own SWF group we already have basically no double perks, besides a Lithe, Unbreakable or Proof here and there, as we all just run our favorite builds and try different stuff.

It's the highly tooled up SWFs groups that might feel this the most. They will also adapt the fastest, but that's ok, at the very least build variety will help to mitigate some of the most broken and bonkers setups. SoloQ players won't be affected by this at all and can just equip whatever they want.

Having flexible repair speed on generators (based on generators repaired/survivors died/hookstages) could balance SWF, SoloQ and Killer games.

• For every generator repaired, Survivors would get (x)% repair speed penalty.
• For every hook stage, Survivors would neglect (y)% repair speed penalty up to 0% penalty.
• For every Survivor dead, Survivors would get (z)% repair speed boost.

With setting the right numbers for variables the skill gaps would be smaller, leading to more balanced and enjoyable games.
