Neew option to block SWF matches
Title says it all, killers should have option to block SWF matches-Reason it creates an unfair advantage because many of them use discord and other programs which while not a bannable offense creates a hugely unfair advantage. OR at the very least a notice in game if it is a SWF match to give killers the option to lobby dodge.

But then nobody would want to play vs swf and who could the toxic swf bully then? ;D

Lets cut to the chase; never going to happen.
When dedicated servers come you won't even know if its a swf lobby you have or not.

For the reason that killers will not choose to play against them and it will make a huge chunk of players leave the game.
Just wanted to explain the reason behind your statement.

SWF is needed in this game. I hate to say it. And they don't need to split the playerbase right now.
Imagine the lobby times then people...
;)

WHile I agree its needed, there needs to IMO be an option to not play against. Once u get to level 10 its nothing but toxic survivors in SWF. I agree players have the right o play in a SWF but a killer should also have the option to dodge that lobby if its an SWF. ITs not fair to the killer to have 4 people sitting on discord telling everything going on in the match and where killer is and where what is, it creates an unfair unbalanced advantage.

Sure. Let me block “x” Killers then, since we are cool with blocking parts of the game now.

This is NEVER going to happen, swf is the primary source of money for the devs.
I always said it and I will say it again. Close the gap between solos and swf, start buffing killer by adding a second objective for survivors and you wouldn't care if it's swf or solos cuz the game will be balanced and fun for every side.

No play the match take you loss/draw/win and move on to the next game.

Yes because the potato swf groups that're just screwing around and laughing at each other are trying to bully the killer. Do you ever get tired of spouting the same old tired troll nonsense?
Op you could just get better and realize most swf's are absolute potatoes and can easily be farmed for a 4k and lots of bp. That or you can continue to dodge them and never get better and lose out on all that bp and experience.
Oh here's a trick to simulate your idea, load the game then don't click on create lobby for 1 hour or more. That's what your lobby wait times would be like and you'd be lucky if it wasn't a several hour long wait.

A lot of SWF groups are just bunch of people who are looking to have fun together. Most of them aren't even that good at the game.
Stop believing in this stupid myth that every SWF group is a 4-man SWAT team ready to bully killers.
If killers had this option, SWF wouldn't be playable. Maybe only God-tier Nurses would play against them.

You are absolutely right. It just seems to me that your main issue here would be the rank, rather than the bloodpoint and achievement gains. A solution to that would make it a mode without rank, but allow trophies and bloodpoints to be earned. I'm sure people who want to farm or exploit or whatever word you want use for it probably don't care much about a rank anyway.

I can appreciate not wanting to go against SWF, really, as I often get 4 escapes vs. solos (I'm bad, but fair). They're right in that most wouldn't play against them, leaving queue times a nightmare for people, especially teams.
I think the best thing would be to buff or compensate Killers against SWF. Even just bonus BP for facing them would lessen the sting of the challenge. Maybe make them a little more powerful, or reduce the hook time, or... I don't know. I'd say 'something balanced' but balance in this game is a slippery slope and it's not nearly as easy as people think it is. I definitely think Killers should get something against 3-4 teams though.
As an aside, I'd like an in-born BP bonus for killers who are far from hook when someone gets rescued. BBQ doesn't work if people camp, and they do, so some natural incentive to give them a little breathing room would do the game well. Before gates are powered, of course.

Killers should get buffed so that they have a fair chance winning against a full SWF group.
Then there wouldn't be a reason for dodging SWF.
(And solos should get more information so that they can be brought closer to SWF-level.)

70% of the current matches are with SWFs
If you would block all SWFs you end up with roughly 30% of the player base. Your queue time would tripple or more.
Not counting the chance, how many of those solos are on your level.
The biggest issue would be, who would want to face SWFs? What incentives would a killer have if they can chose to vs solos?
This in it self would explode the queue time even more and SWFs would start abandon DBD...loss of players and revenue for BHVR and less quality content for all of us!
SWFs are a part of DBD, yes I dislike them, to me it goes against the core of DBD, but here we are now. Lobby dodging Solos, so they can be playing with friends was unfun for everyone and we don't want to return.
Right now we need to sit on our hands and wait for BHVR to successfully launch their dedicated servers (huge investment for them) give them time to smooth out all the occuring bugs and issues some will have with the servers.
Once they are stable, BHVR can finally start to work on debugging, looking into DC issue, hit boxes (latency controlled by their own servers) and if the game runs smoothly enough they can start to fiddle with solos vs SWFs, adjust killers, declare a new vision and direction for the game ect. 3-4 month to go.
Until then I advice you, report only the game breaking issues and inspire them with the wish list.

This. Me and my friends come together to laugh and talk together about things that have nothing to do with DBD, whilst trying to survive. I acknowledge the advantage that is there, but a lot people just wanna have DBD night with their pals.

Big bad SWF is the real killer? Seriously, that is pathetic. Most SWFs suck at this game. It is cute when you get the ones who try to be toxic and elite with their flashlights and sabo boxes, but they suck and do it all wrong.
The big bad hit squad is rare outside of red ranks. In red ranks, I expect every group of survivors to be that good....or they should be.

Swfs suck because they dont need to bother to get better because they KNOW how their teammates will react. Even more so with CWF.
"Ahh killer is scary, stop following meeeeeee LoLoLOlol."
"Killer on me, rush gens"
Same thing.
Once swf start doing things seriously, they break the game.

If you can block swf give survivors the chance to block killers too xD

I actually would not mind the option as long as we can get the option to block certain killers.
1 -
That'd take it a little too far and probably kill the game.
SWF is a necessity for online games but it Needs one of two things, an Indicator to show if players are in SWF or a better option, Bring Solo Survivor up to SWF Level of information sharing and buff killers accordingly.
To be honest tho, I don't see SWF ever being Balanced judging by the past actions from the Devs. I'd settle for an indicator so Killers know when to expect it.
