Kill Switch update: The issue affecting Baermar Uraz's Ugly Sweater has been fixed and the cosmetic has been reenabled in all queues with this update.

Matchmaking vs Maps vs Perks

As scott already pointed out most of things that pretty much rule out any viable rank matchmaking of the game I have one that pretty much sums it up.

How do you want to match players based on match history if you take these games into the account:

Game 1: Perkless clown vs 4man swf with unbreakable, DS, adrenaline combo with syringes or comodious toolboxes or keys on Temple map

Game 2: Iri head huntress vs 4 man team of bananas with 1 good player and his 3 homemade bananas on Campbell chapel

Game 3: Legion on Rotten fields map with every survivor just pushing on gens

Game 4: Basement bubba vs Altruistic team in the basement.

If we assume that killer player was the same in all these cases how would you measure his rank?! Unless you make a giant math statement that takes into account everything from hedious map design to powerful addons to mori's to keys you will only get random results.

How is that supposed to be fair?
