Regardless if it's a SWF group or not, this is just unacceptable. Yes the rank 16 may be closer to my level, but once the matchmaking system detected that the other three survivors weren't, it should have saw to it that I did not get matched against them.

The moment I became a rank 13 killer, all I've gotten is matched up against red rank survivors. This is no longer fun.

    They're working on a new MMR. How it will turn out, no one will know. Just know that you will still be screwed when friends queue together.

    There have been far worse matches than this but, yeah, they need to bandaid the current system until they get the new system up and running (who knows when that will come?). Some of these matchups are ridiculous.

    When you go up against a swf group it basically acts as an additional perk that the killer doesn't have access to. Because even when you die you can still feed information to your team.

    I've only been playing this game for a few months now and I've gone against survivors that clearly know how to take advantage of each Killers' weakness. Not to mention they know how to take advantage of the limited field of view that Killers have. Between work and being a parent I only have a few hours a day to play this game, and in the beginning I would get a fair balance of matches that were both fun and challenging, but I've never gotten worked over like I do right now. And I got to admit that I don't see myself sticking with Killer anymore if this continues.

    this is getting really old. The reason why is because it’s too easy to rank up as A survivor. Red ranks are common. I bet The majority of the survivor player base is red or purple. By the looks of the scoreboard you did okay enough to get more than just one kill. Are you really blaming match making? I go against red rank survivors as a yellow or green rank killer and I do fine. It honestly doesn’t matter. Maybe they’ll teach you a thing or two. Most of the time I don’t realize it’s a 4 man red rank Swf until I get back to the ez 4K post game lobby and see it for myself. This game isn’t That hard to play as killer . There’s always an excuse . It’s Matchmaking, it’s gen speed, it’s this, it’s that. Just get better at the game please 😂

    I feel the worst for the newer players who get the game and just get rekt by either high rank killer or high rank survivor team. Just seems like since the killer pool is so small perhaps that is why the MM is borked. It might get better in the new system however I doubt it. The lack of killers will still persist until they do something to make killer appealing to play. I haven't got a solution that doesn't hurt the other side which is also not healthy for the game. I do not envy this conundrum the dev's have.

    Posted about a match like this earlier today, except it was even worse -- me (purple rank playing solo) with 3 red ranks, vs. a rank 18 killer with 11 hours in the game. I felt so bad for the guy, I think he only got like 2 hits on people. It's really unacceptable matchmaking.

    Why so serious Batman? Just pull back from the idea of winning and go for having fun. If you play to lose on some level you will all be winners.

    I think everyone is red rank by now. It doesn’t take long to get there. How are you people even complaining about this still?

    how Many times do the survivors have to get nerfed before you people will stop complaining? 😂

    I went against red ranks as a Yellow and green rank killer too. And I played plague. Still 3-4K every game.

    People saying "Chill bro, it's just a game" as if that excuse the ######### matchmaking.

    It used to be worse. If you were in a swf you used to be able to see the killer's load out right after you died. One person would tell his crew the killer is running noed or blood warden. Eventually the devs finally addressed this and made it so the killer's load out isn't revealed until the match is over.

    They need separate matchmaking.

    Ranked Matches: The way we normally play.

    Custom Matches: Allows you to assemble whatever perks and killer adds. Then players can matchmake, practice, and experiment. Nothing is lost, but your skills are still evaluated.

    The problem is the game is the entire ranking system. It makes people extra sweaty for no reason, and that’s also why everyone complains when killers camp or when survivors gen rush. They get no progress done as an individual, and then they depip which frustrates them. If the sense of “progress” was never there to begin with then we wouldn’t be having these issues. People simply take this game too seriously

    Imagine if L4D and L4D2 had a ranking system. The amount of toxicity would be beyond belief, and that game was pretty darn toxic without rank! L4D is my favorite game of all time too.

    I know the feeling. I swear 7 out of 10 matches are like this, and have been for months. It sucks. Sometimes i do ok, others I get crushed. I'm just trying to tough it out until they do whatever it is that they're going to do to fix it, which is taking FOREVER.....

    Matchmaking is really borked for a little while now, simple as that. 🤷‍♂️

    I'm not sure what you're playing on, but the PS4 has custom matches. They just dont count towards ranking up.
