SWF
Ruins the game, makes people have inflated egos, and is literally cheating if you use voice coms. Your not good, your just sad.

I'm not going to argue any of the other points, because they are subjective. However, as the devs themselves have stated time and time again, regardless of whether you like it or not, it is officially NOT considered cheating to play in SWF with voice comms. Literally.
So stop perpetuating that particular myth please.

I remember once talking about this and giving a suggestion on how to nerf it. And my idea was to label swf group so the killer knows which are the swf group and how big it is, so he can choose to dodge or take the match. So this way only the big killer mains would be brave enough to take swf groups.

Coming to cry here about a official game mechanic is just sad. So basically you’re** just sad

The devs explicitly stated on here relatively recently that comms are okay and not cheating. Just look here, click on the date to go to the thread if you want to see the context.
The power gap between SWF and solos is something that should certainly be discussed and minimized with the buffs to killers that need it included, but just throwing up your hands and saying it's cheating is pointless and won't do a thing.

We get it, you got smashed by swf, several times. Now get over it.

The devs seriously need to make a “SWF” Category in the forums OR consolidate all these threads.
The horse is dead, the horse’s carcasse is gone, it’s soul has left and you are now just beating on dead air.

This statement is stupid and shows a lack of understanding.
I feel the need to stress out, that I think the statement is stupid and not you as a person.
As long as DBD attracts new players we will see SWF threads pop up.
At rank 20 you almost never encounter SWF groups or they are learning the game alongside you.
As you get better and rank up, you will run into a SWF group eventually and it will hit you like a brick wall. All of a sudden all the mechanics and rules of the game are turned upside down.
Either your team won't react or help you as usual and as a killer suddenly a red rank survivor will loop you the entire game. Because as a new or freshly killer you cannot know how to loop against red ranks and you get angry and frustrated.
On top, perks like Hex: Third Seal and Knockout, what had helped you before to slow down the game and confuse the survivors are turned invalid thanks to voice. Something you never thought of before.
At this point encountering SWFs is feeling like encountering cheaters. Especially when they are using 3th party programs. (I know they are whitelisted)
So naturally they either get turned off by the game and leave, get their frustration out on the forums and eventually have to grind the game until they themselves develop red rank skills.
But the game at red ranks have their own issues.
Gen rush and lack of viable killers.
I can understand that you are sick of seeing SWF post, but try to understand what struggle has motivated a player to post this.

It might not be cheating per the devs but it is in no way balanced.
The argument of "yikes, you against friends playing together man?!" is a tad myopic.
Seems like all these friends are ranked 2, 3, 4, and 16. Strange how they get that rank 16 friend and strange how they know to make them queue up.

You call my statement stupid and yet you 'explain' everything as if you are speaking for the OP, as if you actually had evidence that they have actually experienced all those things you listed and that they did not just had a bad match in which they probably didn't do well.
I think the only person who doesn't understand is you... the person trying to piggyback off of some non-constructive thread, of a topic that has literally pages of the same "rant" with nothing to back it up.
Not ALL SWF have "inflated egos" or "Ruin the game" for everyone. Everyone knows this.
My point in my previous comment was to make an observation of how many "SWF" posts that are pointless and are basically just someone ranting that can be consolidated.

Actually, swf doesn’t ruin the game. A lot of people enjoy swf because they can play with their friends and chat, make dirty jokes and talk about cute boys. It only ruins the game for some people and nobody is “sad” for playing with friends.

As a Survivor that plays SWF with different people pretty much everyday i can understand the "big egos" part. A lot of people get nasty talking about the killer on comms even being carried by his good team, it really makes me roll my eyes. These people will always exist, but i still believe that a lot of players just want to have a good time playing and talking about nonsense in the party chat.

There's nothing you can do about SWF, it's not cheating to play with friends. Whining surely won't help, it'll just let them know they got to you.
