Artificial MMR inflation?
I have a thought... I wonder if killers complaining about MMR are artificially inflating it with things like tunneling off hook, Proxy camping ect...
Like getting up to a point where they can't easily win by playing normally so the play like that, and it works, they get kills, but now MMR thinks they're better than they actually are so it gives them even BETTER teams that know how to deal with camping, off hook tunnel attempts ect so now the killer looses if they play like that and get curb stomped if they play fair because they pushed their MMR high without actually learning the skills they were meant to learn. Basically that MMR doesn't know the difference between playing 'Quote un-quote' dirty or fair and assumes you're playing the game as it was designed. So it puts you with harder survivors to that level.
Kind of like back in the early 2000's People were flying up the Starcraft ladders by just rushing the other player with packs of zergling, and winning lots of games without actually learning the Micro strategies and Macro resource management and awareness they were meant to be learning so when they start getting players who knew how to deal with a Zergling rush they got bodied because they had no other skills to fall back on.
Do you suppose thats whats happening to people with MMR?

Yea I wondered the same thing as well. Whenever I run into killers who camp and tunnel, I stare back at the bubba with Claudette’s face on- and wish for the remainder of his games be filled with sweaty 4 man SWFs who have flashlights and teabag at every pallet.

Yeah some people can't stand "losing" , so they may play in the most unfun way for both sides tbh. For example camping right of the bat is not fun for anyone, unless it's an insidious bubba 😂.

Indeed. I'm thinking perhaps people are doing this, getting 3/4ks in games they should be getting 1/2ks in so MMR thinks they must be really good so it gives them really god survivors who proceed to curb stomp the killer.

I mean, it is logical. Killer players complain about sweaty Survivors, but keep running the same sweaty Builds and keep the same scummy playstyles, just to get more sweaty Survivors.

Nope. I was getting 0ks one after another and was just as likely to go against a team with 3 BNP Toolboxes as one with green perks.

It is just a badly designed system. If mmr defines win as getting kills, then the strategies, that are good for getting kills will pump your number up.
I dont think the starcraft analogy stands. You dont learn anything extra in this game by playing "fair". You just learn the same stuff faster. You still need to catch them to tunnel/camp.

What's up with Bubbas using Claudette's face on? Is that some sort of meme?

This too. MMR gave us a super good Plague who wiped us all at 4 gens the literally game after a Billy who had to have just installed the game that day XD But my Survivor ranking is likely way lower than my killer

Sounds right. This clicked for me not to long ago. I play for hooks and if I kill great. That attitude gets me kills and when i get beat oh well. Im not going to camp/tunnel to get a kill or 2 and remain playing same types of survivors.

They're Proud Boys using it to intimidate PoC and terrorize the community. It's unbelievable that BHVR hasn't put a stop to it yet and removed the cosmetic altogether because of how problematic it is

I would be so devastated if i couldn't be Claudette as a killer.

Pretty sure Buba isn't raciest. (#nolivesmatter) Its just a novelty, the four origanal survivors have Buba faces. Claudette is one of them.
