There needs to be a hint to where survivors spawn or the first generator they tap
Here's what the toxic swfs do. 3-4 survivors hide and do not work on any generators at all until they see the killer or their terror radius appear. 10 seconds after the killer leaves, they start working on the generator because the killer has to leave to check other generators since there were no indicators of any survivors there. The problem with this is the killer usually won't find any survivors until the first gen is completed, the killer has essentially done nothing and are basically playing with a 4 gen start. This problem is most noticable on killers with no stealth, mobility, set-up, and detection, e.g. Clown, Cannibal, Legion, and Pyramid Head, and especially on maps with generators that are difficult to patrol, e.g. Ormond and Haddonfield. Asides from running Discordance, there is 0 counterplay to this strategy on the killers I mentioned. At the start of the game, the killer cannot waste time thoroughly searching a generator with 0 indicators of a survivor there because there are 6 other generators survivors can be on. The most the killer can do is glimpse at the generator and leave. Once the killer leaves, 3-4 survivors start working on that generator and the killer won't find survivors at any of the other generators they check.

Both of you have valid points.
Yes, YOU should be learning to get better attuned to environmental cues to find survivors, particularly crows.
But as stated their are perks that can be used to help track/hunt and you seem to be unwilling to use them to help you with a blatant problem you say you’re having.
You can’t cover every contingency. You can either have a load out for a particular strategy, or complimenting your strengths, or covering your weaknesses. Your choice.
There really doesn't 🤦🏻♀️ that's the reason that there are perks if you can't figure it out yourself. Killers already have an advantage In most ways. You just want the game to do everything for you then why play
I've read this whole thread and this person really does seem to be making a lot of excuses as to why their argument should be supported. You keep arguing that certain killers (primarily DLC killers) have too much difficulty finding survivors. So here's my advice: use Billy. He comes with base game and has Tinkerer. Once these 3 or 4 swf survivors progress a gen 70% you are notified and become undetectable for 12 seconds. Since you're a high mobility killer, you zoom over and interrupt their progress. And I imagine you don't play much survivor, or you'd have much better intuition when it comes to survivor spawn locations. I'm pretty good at it now because I'm survivor main. I completely destroyed a team with Billy in under 5 minutes and I was just guessing at which gen to run to first. Play more survivor and you'll have a better idea of where to search first.
