How do we know the new MMR is working as intended?

Just. . . . this. Baby Hag who got three hooks, placed two traps, and broke every pallet we dropped.

So. How do we know when MMR is placing everyone 'fairly?'

The big reason I was, and still am, against the 'hidden skill rating,' is because you cannot judge anybody anymore. We have no visual means to know if the system is working. For the next few days, at least, we can still use the old ranks to judge, since little time has passed between the old and new system, yet what they're showing isn't encouraging.

So, the devs say to 'wait awhile for the system to sort itself out.' Fine, that's great and all. But how are we supposed to know it's 'sorted itself out?' I don't feel good running around baby killers, or 4king Dweets that barely know how to use lockers.

Additionally, if the MMR has been 'working in the background for some time now,' why am I still put in these one sided matches? I doubt I'm just THAT good where I'm the only one of that 'skill rating' the matchmaking could find.

    Yup, I am usually that Killer.

    I'm also curious how the system processes these data!

    Is the Rank 19 player losing MMR because they lost an unfair match against people they had absolutely no chance to win?

    Are the red Ranks gaining MMR for stomping a new player with no experience?


    Why the hell do experienced Killers CONSTANTLY face inexperienced Survivors?

    This system is a pure disaster but they once again get away with it.

    We will know if it works through patience. It´s not even been one reset yet. MMR is based on lots and lots of data, and gets better over time, the more people play.

    We don´t know, and i belive that is part of the concept.
