Devs, please be honest with that SBMM

Ok, so I play solo survivor (NA/East) And I keep getting the exact SAME killer over and over again and losing against him EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. (I am at 3 times now) yet I still keep getting matched against him with teammates who also don't stand a chance.

Devs be honest, did you just rename ranks to grades and remove ANY kind of matchmaking, just throwing everyone together? Either that or its not working. I am starting to get really pissed.

    Yeah, I feel the same.

    First day of it, matches for me seemed fine. But yesterday I was off from work, so I was able to play more. The more I lost as Killer, and I don't mean kills but even just getting some goddamn hooks in a match, the more skilled the survivors became in subsequent matches. Yes, I typed that correctly: the more I was unable to accomplish anything in a match, the more skilled subsequent opponents became.

    And this was on the same Killer, not a rotation like I usually would play.

    On top of that, people are saying it might take around 20 matches per Killer to get a stable MMR . . . assuming it's working as intended, which I am now doubting. But anyway, I play 10 Killers. I don't main any single character. I can play around 12-15 matches a week (four or five a night, three nights a week), as I can't play often. So, that would take me 13 to 16 weeks to stabilize my roster of 10, with another two weeks for Survivor. That's three to four months of absolute BS, and that is assuming this system is working as intended in the first place.

    Or hell, let's never mind the time. Even if I played frequently, that would still be an average of 220 BS matches to get my entire killer roster, plus survivor, stabilized. I play for fun and entertainment, and that is sounding like a work chore.

    I don't know. I'm thinking about just uninstalling. I have other games, and many other PvP games. I don't feel any compulsion to put myself through this crap for DbD. Especially when I'm no longer confident that the system is working as intended.

    Yesterday i got matched against a streamer twice in a row, he played Nurse and tunneled all of us while playing with Ruin/Undying/Pop and map offerings. Then he hold a long speech on his stream about how "you have to play like this because toxic survivor swf's, otherwise you don't stand a chance!" (fun fact: we made like 1-2 gens each game).

    Then i played against a Trickster who facecamped with his power and slugged all of us, i DC'ed and told myself to take a break.

    Nevermind i decided to play killer this evening, first match there was a DC 5 seconds after start (we all just played chill after that), second game was against a fog whisperer with over 6k hours and third game was against a team with a comp player from UK, they played super safe and made it impossible to build pressure because they ran to shack every time they heard or saw me. I'm kinda done already with this MMR shizzle....

    I understand you so much.

    I haven't played DBD for about 2 months, with only 200 hours on my account. Recently I decided to play, since Pinhead came out. The first game on Huntress was not bad, 3 kills, 1 escape, but absolutely all subsequent games were against players with 1500+ hours, as well as in each game there were 2 and more players who were better me in everything. I tried to control gens, but every chase i started cost me 1 and more gens. For ten games my maximum result was 2 kills.

    Yeah, I don't get it. The last test, from all reports, went very well. But the Live implementation is playing like they activated the original, horrendous, SBMM system from August 2020 instead.
