I know I'm beating a dead horse, but why is matchmaking so bad?

I'm not talking about me being paired with Red ranks. That's whatever. I'm close enough to red ranks that I should probably be getting some in my games anyway (I was thoroughly ######### by a full rank 1 team the last game) and besides one point where the rank 1 really tried to shove their DS in my face, it was bearable I'm mainly talking about the two rank 16's. The person said thank you for giving them the hatch, always nice to see some gratitude.

It's not fair of fun for them to go against me. this isn't cool for either pair of survivors. The minute I got into the lobby the two PC survs thanked me for killing the babies survivors because they didn't do anything all game, which yeah - they really didn't. I had a poor Dweet who was a Hold W, Prethrow the pallet king, nd the elusive "sit in the corner all game Blendette." I wish they could get matchmaking figured out, this is a huge reason why solo queue sucks. I'm frustrated as the killer for them. The yellow's got a game where they were matched with someone nearly ten ranks ahead of them, making it unfun, and the red ranks got a pair of baby survivors that didn't do anything. I really hope MMR helps, but I seriously doubt it will at this point. Sorry for the rambly post, I'm just frustrated.

    Dude i've had full voicechat teams with Object to tell my position from the original camera spin, 4 dead hard, 4 DS, BT and a spasm on the crouch button for like sixty percent of my recent killer games.

    It's not just you. I assume these guys were SWF, but honestly they might not have been. On Rank 2 survivor i've been paired with a rank 11 PC player, a rank 16 console player and a rank 18 console player, vs a rank 9 Killer (who proceeded to wreck my team in under three minutes)

    Matchmaking is beyond boned because the MMR system is utterly failing, and the ranks don't even do anything other than being a cosmetic icon anymore (plus lets be honest, pipping as survivor is SO much easier than pipping as killer)

    They probably weren't SWF. I see this happen all the time. If they can't get people from that ranking it just shoehorns in whatever one is available. I see this happen when playing killer. I see it happening when playing solo queue survivor. Hell here's one where none of them were the right rank from just now.
