Is Matchmaking getting fixed?

I know this has been a long-standing issue that has been discussed time and time again but honestly the main thing that drives me away from this game is constantly having to go against red rank survivors because there aren't enough high rank killers to play against them so I'm forced to play against cancer squads when I'm just trying to get back into the game and grind bloodpoints. Is Behavior readdressing this issue any time soon?

    They're working on a new system at the moment. No new news about it so far and they haven't set a date yet. :(

    Shame. Hopefully there is a practical way to resolve the issue because I really don't like being constantly matched with red rank survivors that had to wait an hour to find a match.

    Yeah the matchmaking is making everyone I play with want to quit for a bit. I just hope for some news at least this or next month.

    One last thing, if you want to read up on what they're doing to matchmaking here's a link to a dev post:

    Just in case you're interested :)

    I dont think the new matchmaking will help. One of the balance problems is solo vs swf, and i doubt that can be fixed with a rated matchmaking at all.

    Yeah it seems like most veteran players are saying matchmaking and SWF are the biggest problems with the game. I think it was Truetalent that suggested a SWF UI and bonus bloodpoints so killers can lobby dodge SWF, not sure if that's the best solution but maybe the only possible solution lol.

    Yes and no. New MMR system in the works for the last eight months. No idea when it'll actually roll out, if ever. Even when it does, though, I fail to see how it'll fix anything in the long run. SWF is still going to push survivor ranks all over the place. When it does drop, I'll see us back where we are in half a year, with long survivor queue times.

    The one thing it will accomplish is hiding ranks, because 'ranks won't matter.' Just their hidden skill system. One thing off their 'don't talk about it' plate.

    I actually think 2 different game modes, one for swf, and one for solo survivors, where you can balance both modes differently, so that both modes become fair for both sides. But SWF-players dont want that, because they are "punished" if they dont get an unfair advantage over the killer, and claim killers would just lobbydodge them, even though my proposal is based on both modes being fair because a different balancing might apply.

    But i doubt devs will do it, so...
