The "Bad Match" Paradox
It works like this:
Play Killer - you get the most tryhard, god loopers, with perfect perks, items, keys, and sometimes comms. You sweat, and sweat hard to get a kill or two. If you don't slug they always find hatch. This is at rank 1.
Play Survivor - you get potatoes for teammates and the killer has a freaking tractor beam on you, they always know where you are, they tunnel you (they eat your DS and keep on coming for you.) If you managed to loop them for 120 seconds your teammates get at most 1 gen done. Teammates get basement hooked and face unhook you. The hatch doesn't exist or is on the surface of the moon or a different map. This is at rank 1.
Anyone else feel like this? 😀😂🤣🙂🤨😐️🤔😣😡🤬 (in that order just about)

Yes. Minus the "killer always knows where you are" bit. I'm usually the last one to be hooked.

I am always, without fail, the first one to be found. I swear the killer spawns right next to me every game.

Its really rare for both sides to have legitimate fun in the game. It's just designed that way. One side is helpless and gets steam rolled while the other gets their entertainment.

Probably because unlike most survivors, you play stealthy for the most part.

Indeed. I repair gens, unhook, heal, and break totems, all without being seen. Unless it's the Doctor.

Am I the only one who feels like I'm in a more or less balanced game, as far as matchmaking and when I'm against weaker players I just need to rank up a bit and if Im being slaughtered I just need to depip a few and there's an ideal rank zone for my honest skill level?
I've said it before and I'll repeat it until I'm told by a plurality of unbiased players(given I care enough to provide evidence) otherwise; I'm a comfortable rank 11 skill player. 10 if I really wanna push it. And I'm fine with that. I'm not playing to be top of the heap, just to chill and have fun.

Yeah, as soon as I started playing stealthy my survival rate went up by leaps and bounds. Especially as a solo player.
And doctor is my favorite killer to play survivor against, mainly because he flips how you need to play upside down.

I feel this. I am nowhere near rank one, but just trying to get halos for killers, AT RANK 20, I had low ranks with like one or two high ranks in almost all my matches and I literally do not play killer, so I got dunked on for the most part.
Then there were some matches that were so bad a survivor that it almost verged on the bizarre. Like there was one dude I didn't see all match. Not even that he was doing gens or being stealth. Just never saw him. All match. Apparently he kept going in and out through the same window, another said in chat after, and did nothing other than that. Just going on either side of it and hiding in a nearby closet. All game. I was like.... Bro #########? and he said he was doing totems. Even the killer was like "??? For twenty minutes???"

I'm glad to see another stealth aficionado. I was beginning to think all survivors had bought into the idea that you absolutely cannot survive unless you loop.

Pretty much. Half my solo queue games are absolute trash.

I personally dislike playing with/against stealth-based survivors because that almost guaranteed you or someone else on your team is going to get tunneled because the killer has a hard time finding others.
You're basically ensuring someone else, as well as the killer, doesn't have any fun.
It's why a lot of people bring Moris against Blendettes. Nobody likes stealthy survivors.

Everyone is free to learn to play stealthily if they don't like being chased. If not, don't worry, I'll be there to rescue them from the hook.

Of course you are! You bought the game. I'm not going to flame or talk crap at the end of the game. Just being blunt that nobody likes it and it makes every else's life harder. If I have more than one stealthy survivor in a game, I'm quite literally dead on arrival, which is extremely unfun.
Then the killer has to go moaning and groaning for 20 minutes to find the other people who are Urban Evading and using lockers.
It's just not fun for anyone else but that survivor.
But as I said, you bought the game and you get to play it how YOU want to, not how others want or even expect you to (expect to, in the sense of how people expect killers to play, I.E. the Killer's Rule Book. Not how you play personally, just killers in general).

It's quite the paradox I'll tell you that. Still confounding even the greatest minds today
I remember this used to be me when I first started out in 2016, it was horrible. I don't know exactly when or how but it slowly became less frequent over time, either my luck as an Ace main has improved since then or I got better at being stealthy in the very beginning. Maybe a lil' bit of both.

When you play solo survivor, every game you're in - by definition - isn't a coordinated 4-man SWF. So you cannot see any of those groups, you're probably playing with 4 pugs or something.
When you play killer, you're going to get all those 4-man SWF's that are way more common than people seem to believe. So naturally the survivors will suddenly seem a lot sweatier and more coordinated than your teams were.
