SBMM is gonna ruin the game.

SBMM is so well implemented, I mean having someone that hasn't played in a while unable to get fair matches on either survivor or killer, you know you've done something right.

On the survivor side, you get stomped or through a miracle of god you get out through hatch

And on killer you get 4 flashlights, deadhard, ds, unbreakable, adrenaline.

Has ANYONE even had a match that was fair in any way shape or form, fair for you AND the other team? Because I'd like to know what it feels like to have any fun in this game again.

I mean hell if you have a friend who outclasses you as a player by a LOT and hasn't been able to do jack diddly, I think there's a problem.

"Skill based" matchmaking. Yeah right, more like "We don't know what we're doing with this game any more"


I'm taking another month or 2 break, wake me up when the game is fun again.

Edit: There's a new development, It's all pc players that are either super sweaty, or super trash, and console is just trash.

    Last night I played all killer and experimented with most played and least, all good games bar one, the fairer match making on killers I barely played was exceptionally nice.

    Tonight I'm about 10+ games in on survivor and every game so far has been competent team mates vs a competent killer and all have been enjoyable whether or not I escaped. I safety pipped on 30% and pipped on the rest.

    So far so good tbh

    Edit: should add I've been heavily playing the last few months on both sides in red so it should have a good idea of my MMR.

    Double edit: If as killer you have an issue with survivors running meta perks and you didn't bring Franklyn's/Lightborn when you saw 3 flashlights the issue doesn't lie with sbmm...

    MMR could work but only once we address the highest elo and the absolute bonkers crazy ######### they break the game with up there. Otherwise players who don't abuse stuff but get in that elo aren't going to want to play the game after long.

    I myself haven't played for the last 1 or 2 months, but I've been playing near non stop the last 2 days. You'd think sbmm would have changed for me by now but it's been the same the whole time, teammates who don't know left from right with killers who've been playing for years, or playing against survivors who know every little tech and trick in the book and can use them flawlessly.

    If this is what sbmm is going to be for me, I want no part of it.

    Edit: Yes, because I totally have Franklins on every killer I have.

    The best ending is this forces them to finally address the top 5%, the worst ending is they ignore it and nobody in that bracket plays which historically kills all online games.

    Take your bets.

    So after I was left to die 4 games in a row on first or second hook with my team mates not giving a single thought about coming and unhooking me even tho they could see someone else was being chased (I used kindred), I went to try some killer games. 2 games a Clown (never play him, he's lvl 40 and only has trash perks) for the 2 new tome challenges, 3 games on Huntress (one of my mains). I 4k'd in all of them, gave hatch in one of my Huntress games cause I absolutely stomped em (wanted to let em farm but 1 guy DC'd and the other guy wanted me to hook him, they had 5 gens left). None of those killer games were hard. It was pretty much unfun, like stealing a lollipop from a child. I simply logged off.


    This SBMM simply DOESN'T work. Please just give up trying to implement it.

    Considering even OW couldn't do it right my bet is on the latter.

    It does work. It addresses several issues with the current system. Such as the players who artificially alter their ranks. Can't tell you how many times I have had red ranks and purple ranks in a match who's skill rank falls more in line with green ranks.

    Reading the forums it would seem that the majority of the player base wants it. The player base won't go down. If anything it might go up and those who leave won't be of much consequence.

    If the MMR keeps casual bad-medicore players in seperate from great-godlike players them im happy. Currently i've been matched with a mix of both and as a medicore casual player myself its absolutely unfun.

    So far the experience has been pretty awful. Before the SBMM system i used to have nice matches but right now its just terrible.

    The game isnt fun anymore. I havent tried the new system with playing killer yet only survivor but its usually dreadful.

    Every game ends up in being tunneled out early or the survivors are being stomped.

    My team mates are mostly running around like headless chicken and i wonder whats going on while trying to do gens.

    At the same time the killer is having a basement party.

    If this is BHVRs way of giving the community "fun" they arent doing it right.

    Edit: Another game of pure torture. If this remains in the game i am out of here for good.
