Matchmaking


Im glad that this game doesnt load. Such a situation speaks for itself. Matchmaking need a rework.

    Yeah, im a green rank killer and im constantly against red & purple teams, occasionally with a grey rank thrown in there for "balance", but usually i find they're all high purple or they're purple & red. An actually balanced game is rare. Ive also recently taken to looking up players to if they're SWF, its super common, making things an even worse experience. And they will pretty much definitely be toxic in the postgame chat whether they win or they lose.

    Another exemple, classical p3 on the 1st hook. And i dont blame them cause they dont know how the game works. Even for them a 9 rank killer knows a bit how to play so they dont enjoy their game at all. guys i encourage you to post kink stuff like this.

    There has to be a balance between good matchmaking and queue times, though. Do you want to wait 20 minutes for a 'fair' match? Also, once you've played DbD enough, you come to realize that rank typically doesn't mean very much. Bad survivors and killers alike can pip.

    That's why it's called balance. So I wouldn't mind waiting 5 mins for 'relatively fair' match, better then going in instantly and having no fun at all.


    Basically yeah, its obvious that balancing matchmaking is not easy task (and that's a topic of discussions in many games) and having somewhat imbalanced sides now and then is understandable. But what's going on now is just ridiculous (and by it I mean having hugely imbalanced teams almost all the time)

    But yeah, balancing in multiplayer game is always not an easy task (and topic of discussion in many game communities) so it's understandable that we're getting somewhat imbalanced matches here and there. But what's going on right now is ridiculous, and I mean having hugely imbalanced teams almost all the time.

    Yeah man i understand what u mean. Rank means nothing i agreed, so maybe there is something to do because matchmaking is based on ranking system. And for sure a matchmaking is not easy to dev and a perfect matchmaking doesnt exist in any kind of game. but situtations like those can be for sure be. I pref wait for 5 min more and get a balanced match than tag instant and get raped or ######### a killer. The problem is not matchmaking but ranking system.

    Yes please. I would rather wait longer for a balanced game than to get stuck in red rank swf lobbies where the game is over in 5 minutes.
