Is it me or the global killer skill level has decreased ?

Boon totems and MMR have wrecked this game for killers. The game was in the best state fun wise for killers prior to MMR being forced on us

I think with the update of SBMM killers just straight up aren't having fun at high MMR due to how imbalanced the game is. So what's happening is killer mains are reaching a certain MMR, getting burnt out and end up quitting or start maining survivor. You're then getting matched with lower rank killers because the game has a lack of high rank killers to fill the role.
This ofcourse is all an assumption on what is going on.

I had to take a hard break from this game for a while, and just watching what goes on, honestly makes me not want to come back sometimes.
I get on look at my characters and decide, nah. Pretty regularly. I want to like the game more. But it lacks what it had even a year or 2 ago. The vibe has been off for a while.
Personally I think The Clown's patch/chapter was one of the best times to play.
Dunno man, sometimes it's time to move on.
Especially when they keep messing with your favorite performing as expected killers :(

There are good reasons for why all of that is taking place.

I agree. I have often say to my mate that the game was perfect after the Clown Patch release and that BHVR should have let it untouched from there.

I dont Think it has to do something whit the Skill Level it is because the Game gets more Survivor sided whit every Update and even good Killer Players has a hard time to do anything
Im watching a German Streamer called Schwabbeltown who is a really good Killer and even he has Problems to get a 4k
Even a Pro Killer like Otzdarva has Problems to do something against good Survivor

W know it, they explained it during a stream lol.
Update yourself.
- there is a soft cap, players above this cap can be matched with lower MMR players depending the playing population
- As a survivor you die = loose MMR, you escape = win MMR
- As a killer : each kills give a positive MMR, each escape gives a negative MMR
- Hatch escapes don't count at all and = 0 MMR for both sides
Your MMR does not fluctuate, it gives you the nearest opponent available to shorten queue times. If the nearest opponent is at 50% of your MMR, you will still face this killer.

Nope all Otz 50 4k streaks were done prior to MMR, what are you talking about ?
Otz is now tunneling and camping saves like crazy to win his games lol... You should look at him more. I have stopped to look at his streams as his gameplay is garbage now.
And he is playing more and more survivors.
Spirit = 2K
Spirit = 0K
Spirit = 2 DC
Nemesis = 4K
Plague = DC
Larry = 0K
Larry = DC
Trapper = 2K
Trapper = 4K
Nemesis = 4K
Trapper = 4K
PH = 2K
Trapper = DC
Spirit = DC
Spirit = 0K
Yes, he is clearly winning all his trials, you are really objective here. Last streams prior to PTB he won 4 games out of 10 (DC removed). Not even half the trials lol.
And he is so toxic and hard tunneling that he has 33% DC which is really huge. I never have any DC, it's extremely rare.

Im used to play killer a lot, more than survivor, been killer main since March 2017, with the introduction of MMR i only play for challenges.
Now i only play Survivor because is less stressful and you don't get bm'd for playing the game by kids

Yep I think you’ve hit the nil on the head,I play killer/survivor in equal,measures.I have noticed queue times as survivor have become painfully long in the last few weeks whereas you get into a game almost immediately as killer.After talking with some friends who play killer only,they have either switched to survivor only or quit the game entirely.There is a feeling amongst some killers in the community that the game has swung to far in favour of the survivor due to recent nerfs for killers and buffs for survivors,boon totems have had a large play in this.I personally don’t have a huge issue with this but it is having an impact on the game.BHVR need to do something drastic and soon or this game will go down the tubes which will be a great shame to a once really good game,many on here will disagree with my points but I honestly am just telling at as I see it out there.

Saturday 30th Oct = 80k
Saturday 6th Nov peak = 70k
Saturday 13th Nov peak players = 60k
It means a lot... And i guess 70% are killer players leaving.

Or they might have gotten killed in a swatting incident, considering the huge security violations happening at the moment.

The vast majority of killer Who used to play this role and arent streamers, switched to survivor or left the Game.
When SBMM came out, a lot of us stopped playing, then, with boon totems, the rest gave Up, too much buffs to survivors.
Me and my group of Friends just play DBD when they release a rift, we play as killer and fight between us, the first Who ends the rift pass wasting Zero money (They don't deserve our money) gets 20$ on the platforms he/she/It plays. Then we leave untill Next One, so we play like 2 weeks every 2 Months and a half.
BEST way to keep your mental health on good state.

Honestly, the game is unplayable with all killers beside Nurse.
You cannot do anything. Chases are way too long to prevent any gen rush. The first chase, seeing the amount of pallets/windows and semi-infinites, lasts at least 1 min 30+ with most killers, it's 3 or 4 gens done.
The game is in such a state that even if devs would remove all the pallets, so 0 pallet on the map, high MMR survivors would still win 50% of the time. Just holding W, some windows and some sneaky plays would be more than enough for them to do all 5 gens.

Before SBMM, killer was the easy role for me. I was rank 1 most of the time and played against mediocre rank 1 - 8 squads mostly thanks to the matchmaking. I would say i won about 3.5 out of 5 matches. Survivor on the other side, the games were very random and when i played SWF with other red ranks, i faced many very good rank 1 Nurses, Blights etc., it wasn't really fun and only sustainable by playing with friends, my escape rate was maybe 2 out of 5 matches.
At that time, i was completely in favour of a new matchmaking. And now it has changed completely. My killer games with my mains were awful to the point that i don't really know what i could have done except bringing best possible add ons and perks every game (which i refuse because its boring as hell). And my escape rate especially when playing with friends skyrocketed, thanks to boon totems and strange matchmaking.
I think they should just revert the changes (i know, they will never do) and make it so that you can't get matched with people more than 4 ranks away from your rank. And then rework the rank reset. Something between old and new matchmaking. Old one wasn't good, when new people get trashed by veterans it's not healthy for the game, but maybe just loosen the rules a little bit and bring back some of the funny randomness without making it unfair again

Playing as killer feels like you are on a tournament 24/7. Genrushing squads with brand new parts escaping with 14k.
Then, they come to forums and complain about camping and tunnel. Do you think, survivor mains, that we like this Gameplay? Absolutely no, I want to Chase every survivor and have fun but is not possible, If I do that against good survivors, not the classic Potato premade, I end my Game with 3-4 hooks and 4 escapes.
And obviously, I can't test new builds with my main because If I don't run antigen perks, Im out. Ruin + Inmortal or Corrupt + Pop, even Ruin + Inmortal+ pop due to boon meta, it is boring and frustrating as hell.
I also was on favor with the new MMR but Looking my recent games a week ago, If I could choose, I Will choose the old MM, so far more funny on both sides.
I don't play SWF, Seems unfair to me, but on soloQ at High MMR, If you face Blight, people DC or suicide, same for Nurse and huntress. And even with 1 survivor less since the first 1-2 minutes, we can manage to stomp the killer rushing gens.
This aint gonna change, but we must complain about it and when people keep leaving the Game, they Will know the answer.

I think most of the veteran killer base still plays. But maybe 3- 4 hours a week tops. I completely agree with OP. The game is just not fun for killers. However. the killer base has been here before. BHVR will nerf boons in a month or two. The killers base will return and another OP will make a similar post 6 months from now. Life in the fog..
