Has matchmaking been wonky for anyone else lately?

I keep getting put up against newbies who can barely play the game despite being rank 1 (as killer), and rank 3 (survivor). I'm talking rank 16~20 players. Once in a while I'll be matched properly but about 70% of the time it's new players. Is anyone else experiencing this, or is my luck just that bad?

    It has it's up and downs.

    Usually happens with me placed against a red rank killer.

    Also, the time of day/player role issue is still alive and well.

    Depends on the time on weekends I often play at night and get babys all the time. But when i play during the day i get good survivors most of the time.

    Playing from 12:00 to 16:00 - 17:00 (in any given day) has been the best experience for me so far. Players are average and neither side plays with your typical "toxic" build or item (keys, Moris, NOED, DS).

    Before and after that, the matchmaking keeps changing just as you mentioned. Don't know why, but it does.
