Lopsided matches with MMR

Seldom do I play killer usually 4-5 games on a Sunday morning this is what I get.

I go to do a daily ritual with level 1 pyramid head with 1 perk and I have no clue what it even does: 4k, 12 hooks, 3 gens remaining.

Switch over to to my level 50 nurse, wraith or bubba. Mind you I don’t have a ton play time with these killers either: 2 hard fought hooks, 4 escapes, game only lasted 5 min.

On survivor solo Q seems I always get teammates who will do anything besides unhook, cleanse or generators.

The old ranking system wasn’t perfect but I feel like I had a lot more fun and fair matches with it.

    So you're saying that when you played a killer you've hardly maybe even never played, you got baby survivors, and when you played killers you are far more comfortable with, regardless of not playing killer a lot you are still more familiar with them, you got stronger survivors?

    That sounds like exactly what the devs have stated they want to happen.. I'm not understanding your issue

    There is something funky with matchmaking right now - I get a ton of TTV groups with thousands of hours played to my sub 200 who absolutely smoke me, time and time again.

    See above. Something feels off with killer SBMM. Regardless of how much I lose, I only seem to get stronger opponents. Pre Halloween patch, I had mostly even games.

    I agree with you.

    Loss after loss for many, many games, 0k or 1k, then the game throws me a bit of pity, roughly a 2k or 3k, before getting slaughtered again game after game.

    It seems I have to lose 10 matches before my mmr drops a little. Win 1 and it raises a lot.

    Killers I have not ever played I actually get slaughtered with. Twins took plenty of games to get an average score with, same when I first started playing Demogorgon.

    There is definitely something wrong with the way killers mmr are being calculated. This is probably why they never want us to see our own mmr rating.

    So, I've switched to my second steam account, got 666 666 BP and codes, leveled up my Nurse, the killer I never played on this account, and I almost did not play on this account after SBMM release. I've got 4 matches in a row against SWFs 4 man and duos which I've done with 3K , 2K , 1K, 4K. And the next match... guess what. There were gen rushing babies. Got 4 gen grabs and one totem grab during the match, slugged 3 of them 2 times and let all 4 escape. The next match was against 4 man SWF, I have lost this one. Very consistent matchmaking.

    It seems like it was fixed between yesterday and today.

    Give it a try.

    No that’s not the case I’ll play whatever killer has a daily ritual so I’ve got some matches in with every killer they’re just all level one. And time again with level 1 killers it’s an easy 4K. Now my level 50s probably have close to the same amount of matches as all the other only difference is I’ve leveled them up with bp from survivor.

    almost feels as if the game takes into account killer level and amount of perks, but then again there are times I’ve played swf and we get matched with a lvl 1 trying to do a challenge and they stand no chance.

    Its all very inconsistent
