If you can't fix the matchmaking, make it worth playing. Straightening this out.
I know that it's difficult to balance thing, the game doesn't have large online etc. etc., but you can make newbees' life a bit better, so they don't quit the game right after meeting toxic genrushing tbaggers.
After every match with party-of-4 veteran survivors there are less Bubbas in this world. Please. Stop.
So this is how we can try to somehow balance this out:
1) BP multipliers (or plain BP addition) for playing against higher (lower) level players dependant on general party rating. If there's some kind of hidden rating other than the original one, you could use it to track and calculate things out.
So if a survivor is carried by his team or is bullied by way higher-leveled killer, he still barely gets rank notches, but at least he gets BPs to spend on better perks or equipment, making the game less frustrating.
Or an innocent Bubba gets bullied by a party of 4 survivors, but at least he will get a moral compensation after the game. And this whole party perhaps gets less BPs and rank notches 'cause of multipliers.
2) Team actions speed reduction if in one party.
So you got yourself a headache of a party of 4 genrushers with toolboxes. They alltogether work on one generator, repairing it in mere seconds, making the match last a few minutes if the killer haven't prepared for anti genrushing.
But what if their repairing commited to the same generator was reduced? Let's say 2 survs from the same party (friends) work on the same generator. They both have their repairing speeds reduced, but then another surv joins the action, but he doesn't have his repairing speed reduced, because he has joined the match through random game search.
Most of surv parties have some kind of communications, so this reduction seems pretty fair, considering that common randoms are not telepaths and cannot communicate on large distances.
Please discuss.
