  Only answering the main topic question.

  Share of SWFs across all ranks spikes in the evening times (about 8-10pm local time as long as your TZ features its own server), and daytime/evenings on weekends. Mornings and working hours usually provide you with 4x solos or worst case 2+1+1 - everybody's either working or studying.

  Okay thanks i'll try to keep that in mind.

  So first question I have in response to your question: do you have crossplay on? (on by default so if you aren't sure then it's on). Having it on drastically widens your search pool and makes running into SWFs less likely.

  Second - assuming crossplay is on, do you see people with either all globes, or all non-globes? And do they come into the lobby all at once or do they trickle in? The odds of SWF go down if there's a mix, and are impossible if there's too long of a delay between them joining.

  I'm asking these questions because you're likely not facing full stack SWFs as often as you think you are - instead, your MMR is way too high. At high levels of play, even solo survivors coordinate well and instinctively know how to react when things happen. If you were winning all of or most of your games prior to MMR coming in, your MMR is likely extremely high (this is a problem for those who played sporadically from what I've seen, it overestimated them since they were consistently at low ranks getting other lower ranked players.) Unfortunately, the "fix" to this is to just accept losing for a while and supposedly it'll get better over time.

  That being said, late at night in EST tends to be one of the sweatier periods, I generally try to stop playing by around 10 PM since after that it gets a lot less fun, so your survivor pool is likely being overfilled by the sweat squads even if your MMR isn't inflated.

  Yes I have crossplay on and yes I usually do try to just play against console players for the most part because they're usually less likely to be swfs but I still run into some console players that are swfs. I know console means globes. They're usually all in the lobby at once, it's rare that I see people trickle in. Sometimes it's a mix of consoles and pcs. I've gotten to purple rank as survivor and i'm gold rank now as a survivor and It's really rare that I see survivors play as coordinated as the ones that I face as killer. I'm sure at the red ranks they play differently but like I said I shouldn't be facing survivors that are that skilled especially on killers that i've either never played or only played once or twice.

  I guess I could see how MMR might have overestimated me, if I have to lose alot for it to get my accurate MMR that's pretty annoying.

  Thanks I'll try not to play late as killer to see if that helps me find people around my level.
