Console Queues
Is anyone else having queue issues on console? I play on PS4 and have been waiting for a survivor match for over 30 minutes. I have twice entered a lobby only for the killer to immediately (seemingly) back out and getting a host disconnect message. Why can't I get into a match??

I don't believe its a lack of killer problem at all the problem was all of a sudden a month or so ago after they reverted something to match making its been ######### ever since.

Also why does it censor a word like s.h.i.t.t.y. on a forum for an m rated game?

Not really. As killer it's almost instant while as survivor at bad hours it's normally around a 5-10 minute wait which I use to catch up on manga, shows, youtube and whatnot.
In the afternoon it's usually just a few minutes but it does vary sometimes.

It is a lack of killer problem. I'm on PS4 and everybody is reporting the same: Instant lobbies as killer, long queue times as survivor. That can't be caused by bad matchmaking (otherwise killers would have long queue times, too).
The reason is that not enough people want to play killer at the moment.

Ive played this every day since it released on console and one day after an update this happened recently hence why people are only now making threads like this. Killers did not stop playing out of no where.

Look at the facts. The queue times speak for themselves.
I don't know why some people don't want to accept that not enough people are playing killer atm.

Because it was a sudden thing that happened all of a sudden. If it got worse over time instead of overnight you might have something there.

I am going to say I personally know 4 killer mains that have uninstalled the game to never return to it on ps4. So I'm fairly certain that there is more leaving or have left also.
I also have a 10 minute /15 wait at red rank as suriviour and my red rank killer lobby's fill up instantly.
So just putting out my personal experiences with the que times.

Let's look at the facts:
If the killer : survivor ratio was good and (because of bad matchmaking) survivors would have long queue times, this would also mean that killers would have to suffer from long queue times. Is that the case? Obviously not.
A good killer : survivor ratio with long survivor queues and instant killer queues is simply not possible.
And no, it wasn't a sudden thing. I've been playing on PS4 since the game got released, I'm playing a lot (some killer, more survivor) and it was a trend you could watch for a while.

Queues on Xbox are actually kinda quick atm.

I think it depends on which rank you’re at, at red/purple rank, killers are almost nonexistent. If it wasn’t for the Time challenges, I can’t imagine how much worse queue times would be.

I'm rank 5 on PS4 and it's going fairly quickly for me, apart from all the lobby dodges. I had five in a row the other day and stopped playing because of it. I'd say 5-10 minutes.

Idk but maybe we tend to forget the old queue times. Its right that you find killer matches far quicker than survivor matches. But compared to the lobby simulator before where you sometimes even waited over an hour, it is better now. I think there were always less killer players. But the new mm is now more generous. Especially swf had crazy queue times.

Xbox killer queues are almost instantaneous at red ranks. Red rank survivor can take between 1 and 5 minutes.

Ya PS4 can be brutal to kill mains. I'm assuming Xbox can be the same way as PS4 since console optimization needs to be a thing.

Most just find it impossible at red ranks the fact I use there terms (sweat) every match and be have to be flawless to get out with possible kill just killed all the fun for them. Also the issues on console bugs and frame rates. Over all most of them said its just not fun anymore.
I play very different to them tbh I play because I have fun I'm not bothered about my rank or kills. I still enjoy this game and make my own fun.
But alot of my friends are competive and I think personally that's the issue for them. They feel like even if they play a really good game they are not rewarded with the pips or the outcome they desire.
