About the matchmaking

Is it really so bad in the evening for killers? I am rank 10 with ~130hrs in game and all of my games last night consisted of red rank survivors and few of them were rank 1 SWF who felt pity for me in chat after... and I did so too because it wasn't fun for anyone and I looked like an idiot. I totally don't mind losing and I'd rather stay where I am for now - around rank 10 where I think I belong and I find a sweet spot for chill fun games and getting a kill, two... three, without the need to sweat, or try hard to make any survivor life miserable.

I see and understand that the gameplay at top ranks are mostly people and teams with much more competitive mindset, and of course being in such game, as a killer, I feel the needless pressure to perform at the level I just can't - probably because lacking few thousand hours of practice. Of course I like the challenge and try to get better, but this is just not it, it's plain brutal.

It wasn't always this way, last few evenings were just terrible. Is there some test going on? I wonder if this will be addressed or fixed somehow, because I don't see it being much fun in a longer run. I am not frustrated or salty, I really love the game - I am just sharing my personal gaming experience :) Will the upcoming MMR make it better?
