Who does it benefit?

With alot of talk around ruin being changed to benefit new players it got me thinking.

Who does the new SWF match making benefit?

It's not solo red rank survivors because they get teamed with brown ranks.

It's not solo brown ranks because they now have much longer queue times.

It's not SWF red ranks because their friend who's new is going to get sh.it on.

It's not SWF brown ranks because they're getting killers that are red ranks.

The only group that I could possibly see this benefiting is rank 10 killers but even that goes out the window when they still get matched with red ranks.

SWF should never have been changed.

    The SWF-change benefits nobody. Queue Times got longer for high Ranks for Survivors and for low Ranks for Killers, because people get dragged to the High Ranks or out of the low(er) Ranks.

    It does not help bullying at all.

    And even a Rank 10 Killer should not do that bad when he faces two Red Ranks and two brown Ranks.

    Also, I am pretty sure that the Ruin change is the aftermath of the SWF-change. Because who struggles with Ruin? New players. Who gets to deal with Ruin more often since the SWF-change? New players.

    When I was new, nearly no Killer had Ruin. And if they had Ruin, it was 99% a Hag. The higher I got, the more frequent Ruin became. First I was always searching for it, at one point, I did not care and I am hitting Great Skillchecks probably 9/10 times. So Ruin does not really affect me.

    So I was able to adapt, because the higher I got in ranking, the more frequent Ruin became. New players dont have this choice, they are pretty fresh at the game and start in much higher Ranks due to the SWF-change. Which, again, does not fulfill his purpose.
