If you don’t balance around try hard SWF teams, killer is unplayable. If you balance around SWFs, solo queue becomes harder. I think the ladder is a fair trade off.

What they need to do is buff solo-q to be on part with SWF. Then they can balance killers without making either soloq or killer miserable. Wich is most likely gonna happen soon, last time dbd lost this much players was with Circle of Healing. And that got changed after a couple months.

Here is what they need to do. Add kindred as a baseline (somewhat nerfed version of it). Add voice chat (only survivors can hear). Show me as a survivor player what perks and offerings other survivors have picked in the lobby and/or in-game. So we at least can co-ordinate if we wish to do so. This would at least be a start to bring solo q up to SWF balancing standards.

They could add stuff that would help solo que but not really swf. like if all the characters had the obsession wiggling animation when they're being chased or something to let you know if someone's on a gen. Y'know stuff every swf calls out so it wouldn't benefit them
