Anyway to get out of SoloQ Hell? SBMM is Broken [RANT]

It's been weeks of me playing survivor and i'm still in this dumpster fire of an MMR with lemon survivors, WTH BHVR. Have you fixed your matchmaking yet? I'm already gold III and I can't getting a proper team yet, all i get are face camping killers and baby survivors who unhooks in front of the killer, like yeah sure feed him more hooks, let him get a 4k, also stand still i'm sure you're not gonna die there.

This is even worse as killer, I've been getting matches with lemon survivors since last week, like come on, haven't I killed enough yet, want me to get 5k or 6k just to get me out of this Hellish MMR? I've began to torture poor survivors while trying to pip myself just to see if their suffering would atleast get me a match with a gold survivor, STILL NO VISIBLE RESULTS.

I'm an Iridiscent 1 Killer FFS. I'm close to outdoing otzdarva's 50 winstreak with all these baby survivors i'm being paired with, also I've runned out of Ebony Mori and Rancor is useless because they can't even finish a single gen.

I have a sneaking suspicion this is because of Epic's free DBD release, All of them are Cross platform players,

I'll play my legion extra brutal and with Knock Out just to reduce their numbers until i get out of this MMR mess.

    Grades have nothing to do with MMR. That being said MMR is essentially a lottery at this point

    I suspect survivor matchmaking gets manipulated so players hit escape rate targets. It's really, really dumb. Too many escapes? You're going to get some teammates who just installed the game. It's like the devs got a mandate to improve game balance from a higher up, and instead of actually doing that, they fudged the matchmaking to produce something close to 50% win rates so they could say "See? It's balanced!" Nevermind that it's horrible for decent players who feel punished for being good at the game.

    This. Best thing I did on PC was turning it off. You get mostly god nurses and blights, but your team mates are also better.

    You have to be one of the rare killers on the forums that are not facing seal team swf every game.

    Or others are using hyperbole in their stories.

    Probably somewhere in the middle.

    How many escapes do you have out of 4 games?

    From experience there is a significant change after at least 3 escapes.

    I would say change your build according to the last games you had. use a perk to help you with something you are struggling with.

    To get into high MMR i used second chances perks and end game perks to help me get out of there if no one is alive.

    3 not gonna lie i'm getting a lot of value from left behind right now, Even if i equp bt they always die, after a minute maximum, and if i have kindred they just all start slowly crouching towards me, this is infuriating, worst part is my legion gameplay is so boring right now, i always get players who doesn't know how to mend, they just hide in lockers. and then they flop after that.
