"If you just read the update..."
So as we've all seen, the new matchmaking is even worse than before. It's pairing fresh babies with people over thousands of hours more often than before. Yet all I kept seeing on twitter and a bit here is "just read the update, you'd know why matchmaking ranks are all screwed" and stuff along those lines.
I'm already sick of it... I did read it and the way they had made it sound (whether it was in their update post or before this) was like it was gonna have a new UI and we were gonna reset or whatever maybe so we could tell what "skill level" we were at and they discussed not using ranks in the same way and probably just using it for a reward system. I figured we might all go back to 'level 0' or 'rank 20' or whatever but there's no way to tell because we are still. using. RANKS. We are still using the rank pips, the system should have been redone entirely. Not just one part of it.
I've seen people get 4 rank 20s as a rank 1 killer or all red rank survivors with a baby killer. So you're telling me either A) brand new players have the same skill as someone with 1k+ hours or B) people with 1k+ hours are god awful at the game and are basically rank 20. Even though in these matches all the new players lose to those who are in the red ranks. So how is this "skill" matchmaking any better?
And don't tell anyone who thinks this way to "just read the update" because we did. You cannot tell us that either we're just THAT awful at the game or the new player is THAT amazing within 1-5 hours of playtime.

Give it a week. It'll settle.

Apparently MMR has been working in the background since the Killer Lock update. How much more time do they need? Majority of players MMR should have already been established, there should by no means ever be games were red ranks are going against new players.

Even though MMR was working in the background you still went against people with major differences in MMR because it was rank based previously. And when you lose to them you will have a massive drop in your MMR.

It was in the background, yes. It wasn't in full effect. Until a week passes now that it's active, I will wait. Until then, I'll repeat what I said. It was also said by the same dev that MMR was only on XBOX. So take everything with a grain of salt. Give it a week.

As an Xbox player, I can confirm that I have been facing all Rank 15-20's since the Killer Lock Update.

Well 10 games / killer
For someone like me that always switches his killer it can take a lot of time
Beside the level will settle in a fiew i think, to the point people complaining now will complain they only fight sweaty try hards cause of MMR lol

Not sure which region on Xbox it was introduced but I'm giving it a week before saying anything.

I play on NA East, if that helps.

I don't believe they released the region but I have already started to notice a change in my MMR by playing as Leatherface only.

See the problem is you used twitter, that site is a cesspool obviously and if the devs knew any better they should treat twitter like how people think they do the forums and ignore them.

"working in the background" implies that they were populating the data in the system, so that when it launched it would already be balanced.

It wasn't being used for matchmaking. That was already stated. You need fresh games after launch without switching killers to get an accurate MMR.
