Allow us to enable switching killers, but we are always searching for lobbies using our highest MMR

So I think it's safe to say a large number of people, for obvious reasons, dislike the fact you cannot switch as killer after you enter the queue anymore. The reason for this makes sense, as due to the new matchmaking, you wouldn't want it to be exploitable where a more experienced player could manipulate the system through switching to constantly match inexperienced players.

My compromise for this, is to add the option for you to enable killer switching for those who opped in. The compromise? Your MMR taken for every queue with this option enabled would be the highest MMR out of all individual killers. This mean you opt in to matches which are at minimum against players of your skill level, or potentially even above it. Most importantly, this cannot be exploited to match vs more inexperienced players, the only person who may suffer as a consequence to this is you, so I feel it would be fair to have the option and a healthy option due to the nature of being opt in and inexploitable

    That would defeat the entire purpose of the new matchmaking system and basically making it the way things are now.

    Actually, I'll correct my answer..

    It would make it even worse than how things are now.


    For the purpose of this example, say I'm rank 1 on a killer and 20 on every other one because apparently I'm only good with that one killer.

    It would make no sense to have me match up against rank 1 survivors on other killers, get run to the ground, and not derank on that killer I lost on because the game would use a different killer's ranking to match me up with survivors.
