I think I *prefer* less consistent matchmaking

I just played for about 5 hours. I don't know what happened with rank reset but I was all the way down at Ash 4 when I started. Most of my matches were filled with red ranks (or "grades" now) and killers who were clearly playing with no mercy, trying to win as hard as possible. The matches were very consistent, but I had significantly less fun than I have ever had playing DBD. There may very well be a lot of benefits to SBMM, but if the game continues to be like it was today I'll probably play it significantly less because it's just not as enjoyable, especially solo. I liked some matches being a challenge and others being easier. It added variety and prevented the game from feeling overly competitive. This is going to make every match feel like the last and pressure me to "play to win" instead of play to have fun.
