Do you find yourself being matched with other survivors close to your skill level?

This DOES NOT include Survive With Friends (SWF). I'm talking about solo queueing with random survivors.

Yes, other survivors I queue with are close to my skill level.

Somewhat, other survivors at least know how each perk works, Killer power mechanics, and basic strategies.

No, other survivors do not understand the game's mechanics and are more of a liability than an asset to the team's survival.

    Usually fall into this category but I do get the occasional complete lack of understanding survivor and rarely the good survivor team mate

    Other:

    I usually end up in games where surv and killer by far outrank me and I am dead before the game even starts.


    This poll just assumes you are a high rank surv and you get matched with lowbies. The opposite can be true & annoying too.

    Most survivors I get paired up in solo rarely perform as good as the killer, in red ranks. Unless the killer is not good or a weak killer, most solos we will have about a equal or harder time.

    I guess this is pretty subjective and the options don’t really apply.. but I think most survivors I get matched with are as bad as me i regards to looping. And they often seem to be allergic to gens (which is not really skill related, also not saying I am like this..).


    when I play killer suddenly everyone knows how to loop and how to fast vault from any angle though…

    Sometimes I do, most times I don't. It has gotten to the point where I have to judge survivors before a game starts. Sometimes they'll have less than 50 hrs. That's an instant dodge. I'm rank 1, I need competent teammates.

    I'm sorry BHVR but I will not keep playing with rank 20s. Ruins the balance completely unless the killer isnt also rank 20.

    I spawn in with survivors that usually know what they're doing. I haven't gotten an immersed gamer in a while. However today I had two killers ragequit after being ran by another teammate today so teamies on my skill level is kinda rough.

    Really though to be honest I wouldn't mind getting matched with the worst loopers in the universe if they did generators. Just get on the gen and I'm happy. You too. Get on it! Aaah!

    I can't tell. Currently I got deranked to yellow ranks because I took a long break on survivor side. Survivors there is very much below my skill level. But when I was on red ranks, survivors were somewhat equal to me. Some were better, and some were worse.

    Well I'm terrible at Survivor so I suppose that'd be a yes unfortunately.

    Sometimes I get paired with good survs, some other times I get extremely noobish ones. It's never consistent.

    Oh, and the worst thing that I usually see in solo queue: Sprint Burst users who walk around the map doing nothing. Gotta love them, eh?

    More often than not, I see players far away from my league and this shines in their decision-making during the game which makes me honestly quite frustrated at times. I am not here to rub my own belly, just saying, when you get matched with or against someone who does not know how to play the game and is still learning, and you have well over 2000 hours under your belt, there is a good reason to be disappointed in the matchmaking.
