A question I've always wanted answered
Anyone who plays killer consistently at red ranks can agree that this game needs to be balanced around SWF simply because of how unbalanced the game is when facing an optimal swf squad on comms. If this is the case, then why are people against adding comms as a base feature of the game, so that the game can start getting balanced towards comms? (side question when are pig cosmetics coming out)
Comments
The game was never meant to have the information comms gives and it ruins what a huge amount of people enjoy from the game.
Why should those who play as it was intended be punished by changing how they enjoy the game?
Then there are regions like Europe where you can have 4 solo players who don't speak the same language. Should they be disadvantaged due to something not intended?
Good point, but, swf still remains super broken.
Not really. Would be too hard on those survivors who want to keep the original atmosphere and don't play SWF. Plus, being on comms is not such a huge advantage. Yea it's unfair, you get information you're not supposed to, but in the end it still comes down to whether that SWF group is made of skilled players or not.
We just gotta accept that sometimes we face SWF using Discord, and that's basically hard mode. Dodge if you're chicken, or accept and relish the challenge if you're a man (or a woman, eh).
adding in-game comms would make killers suffer horrendously. toxicity would be poured into every single game, and strength with survivors would be way too much compared to having a mixture between a solo and a swf vs a killer.
this game was originally based around randoms against a single killer, hence why swf is even strong in the first place.
and personally, i believe that if we were to really try and have the game balanced around swf, swf would have to have some limitations in order to make it all equal.
Accepting a match against swf doesn't prove you're some huge dick chad, it just means you love losing or are relying on them being bad.
I said it should be an option, not a must-have-enabled thing.
Having the option for comms would be nice, and would provide for a built-in option to narrow the gap for solo survivors while also just laying bare for everyone where the game realistically stands.
And if you don't want to use or hear voice chat, I imagine you would be able to turn it off. I used to do this all the time in Overwatch when people were being awful, and it worked out just fine.
Barring this, some sort of in-match text chat between survivors would be helpful, too.
Having communication between random strangers of different age and from different nations (=different languages) wouldn't change nothing in positive.
Plus, communication per se is not so relevant. I've seen many times teams of 4 randoms playing super coordinated just because they were smart.
The only way to balance the game around SWF would be to give them a debuff. That’s not a good idea, so it’s Just not going to get balanced.
Agreed...no chat in solo. I could see the DC rate soar. If you look at the harsh comments in post game chat, imagine how it would be in game.
