Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

There was à time, one or two years ago (may be mistaken on the date tho and it could have been à bit more), where yes the matches where pretty fair in terms of matchmaking, i remember even being rarely paired with purple ranks when i was red rank, and so it was also for pmenty of friends of mine and people i knew.

Yet it also created times with very long queue times for one side or the other.

The solution that BHVR vrought was to open the ranks, so you could face à bit more of...everything...it didnt worked that well at the beginning but games would be found quickly! And later they worked over it

Recently i found i had more red/purple combos when i was red ranks, yet more rarely yellow and less, but we changed to SBMM... thats nother story

The fun fact is: with SBMM it creates once more dead times or times with very long queue times for à rôle or another, or for your best killer/survivor. Which basically is going back some years and pretty bad so to say (imo) but oh well...we can only hope they work around it...right?


TL:DR: there was à time where Matchmaking was fair but queue was long, they oppened the ranks to shorten the queue time, and SBMM makes queue times longer again on certain times/killer/survivors
