The fix is very easy and is the same fix every other game uses: give everyone coms, and balance around that. But the devs are too lazy to rebalance killer and don't want to have to deal with survivors whining about the buffs, so it's never gonna happen and they're gonna keep insisting coms don't give SWF a massive advantage.
Sorry, BHVR are saying Comms don't give a massive advantage???
I asked them that exact question and they answered it on stream a while ago. They think it's too much information to give solos for free.
I still don't agree with their decision making, I've found it harder and harder to play survivor without friends. I don't even use voice comms when playing with friends, but I at least know that someone will get me off hook.
I hope they'll reconsider cause giving survivors Kindred basekit, I won't mind if they nerf the killer aura reading to 8 meters, so people can know if killer is camping, but not give too much information where they're going and such.
That's why they can't balance the game. They want to bridge the gap and they don't even realize how wide it is.

Yeah it gives them a massive advantage. A massive advantage the game isn't designed for. And at red ranks every other game you play the survivors have that advantage. Since they can't stop people from using discord, they have to give all survivors coms, and then buff killers to be able to deal with it. Otherwise we're gonna keep having the same issue where SWF is overpowered and kind of ruins the game.

BHVR are well aware of the advantage, otherwise SWF information would be provided in the lobby.
The issue of matchmaking (or killers not playing) is being addressed by hiding more information about ranks.
maybe BHVR finally realised making solos run certain perks to catch up to SWF's basic info is never going to work
