1: You as high rank get paired with maybe 2 other high ranks and a rank 17(not everytime 17 but yeah)

2: You have a chance of 50% to get a group where you live dosen't matter (from the feeling)

I know why people play swf but swf is also a really big problem,not only for killers *sigh* I mean come on! I'm rank 8 I'm supposed to play with other people at my rank and not with a rank 20 or something,I dosen't have anything against playing with friends but it is ridiciolous if you get a rank 17 mate and a rank 6 Killer only because of swf(if they dosen't work on matchmaking I mean)

    Unfortunately, people are kind of terrible, especially when you make a game "competitive," but the people demanded SWF so everyone must put up with the bad ones.

    Most Swf I encounter/am in are either very communicative and coordinated or very altruistic and die within 5 minutes. It really is luck whether soloing will increase or decrease your chances as survival.

    SWF play like any other players - comms do not make them good contrary to what killers may have you believe. Usually it is a bad time playing with them they have horrible timing with their altruism. I just let them do their thing and jump in when they seem to be in major trouble - otherwise I consign myself to gen jockey.

    I have not run into many swf out to get solos - they often try to save you like anyone else, but don't expect a rescue if you are the last one hooked and the exit gates are opened. Try not to be the last one hooked.

    Well, I like the second part. Though I'm sure you'd get a lot of SWF people doing the old lobby-dodging until they find one another for the BP then.

    3-man SWFs would never be able to play if solos got their own queue.

    Oh, and SWFs can voice chat, which is an advantage given by a third-party program. So they may not always be good, but they are better than they would be alone.

    It's more of a 75% chance, sadly. Most don't care. Most will also blame you for anything they do wrong or assume you're doing nothing and that's why everyone's losing. Also the ranking isn't always because of SWF. It's also due to matchmaking. I've had SWF game where everyone was 10+ and we got a rank 15 as a teammate. Also have had games where I got solos different ranks from me and I could tell everyone was solo. Ranking only tells so much, anyway. I've seen plenty of boosted rank 5s and 8s.
