This MMR sucks

Guys, I am playing a good week in this mmr and any time i lose my survivors are only stronger, i can't even get a proper hook. Everyone uses keys, DSs, BTs, Iron wills cuz 'they think they will meet a tunneler'. I am not tunneling and still they run to me only to get me trolled with their DS or BT. How to get weaker survivors? Cuz i have no idea! When playing as survivor, i help the killer, he facecamps me and somehow we all escape. What is that mess?

    We have no information on what constitutes a win or loss with the new SBMM. My best advice is to look at the update from a different perspective. Take the time to clear your head before playing, and while you play just don't care so much about winning or losing, but having fun. Regardless how well you do, or how you play - you cannot de grade. You can only move up in the current grading system, so play whatever build you want, and however you want. Whatever anyone else in the game does - ignore it and just play through.

    If you go against a sweaty comp team of survivors, at least the match will only last 4-7 minutes, and then you can que into a different match.

    If you go against a camping killer you just wait 2 minutes, less if you just sui on hook. If the Killer is tunneling - cool time yourself and see if you can beat your longest chase record - make a game out of it.

    Regardless what happens, you will not lose grades.

    As survivor I run Borrowed Time, Detectives Hunch, Lithe, and We'll Make It

    • Borrowed Time ensure safe saves
    • Detective Hunch lets me find Totems
    • Using Lithe during a chase most likely tricks the system into believing you escaped a chase before the Killer catches up to you.
    • We'll Make It allows you to heal other survivors very quickly for a long time, you just have to save someone off hook first.

    Whatever you run, cleanse 2 totems each match and then play normally, and I promise you more often than not, you will at least black pip.

    As Killer, just do your best to get 5-6 hooks, and I promise you will more often get at least a black pip.

    I like your optimism but I am not doing any special build but adept. I got 2 of them in 6 days.
