Since SWF seems to be an issue this might be a solution...
Idea isn't mine, but i saw it in Elder Scrolls Online forums long ago and thought it could work here (yes, that game has issues with balancing pve and pvp)
Anyway, if game detects there's a 4 SWF group Killers would get a minor buff in every perk and/or speed. I'm not gonna think about the details right now and obviously every buffed perk would need to be customized, but i think this might be a solution for everyone.

Has been suggested several times, multiple variations including some very well thought through ideas. Sadly the devs ignore everything, and when I look at the last thing the community created (DS)..... well
An idea I really like was for example that in a SWF, every perk can only be used once. Its a really interesting idea, adds more variety to the game, forces survivors to actually think about their loadout and will reduce the classic 4x DS teams a lot.
The problem with buffing killer is that for example in a 3 man sWF the solo survivor would be affected too and thats somehow unfair. The best solution is to affect the SWF directly e.g. by restricting their perks. (remove perk slots or unique perks only etc)
Yeah, thought about the 3 men SWF, that's why i said 4. If it's 3 maybe the killer's buff would be weaker, but modifying SWF perks makes more sense i guess.
