For Killers, does Two Kills really raise your MMR and give you a "Win"?

I heard recently that MMR is now recognizing Two Kills by a Killer as a "Win" and raising your MMR. Is that true?

I always thought of this as a Tie, personally. But if the game classifies this as raising MMR, then that means it classifies it as a Win for Killers. Maybe the amount the Killer's MMR raises is tiny, but it still does rise.

So my second question would be, how do you feel about that if it is all true? As a Killer, do you feel that is the new "Win Condition"? As a Survivor, do you feel that the Killer really would have won if they only killed half of your Survivor Squad?"

I could kind of see Killers relatively accepting and seeing Two Kills as a Win, as MMR inches towards more and more restrictiveness in difficult matchmaking. It might even get many of them to back off, and have more fun with the number of Hooks and Chases. But I think, if you're a Survivor Squad that got two out, I would count it as "Win" or "Tie" myself. Is it okay to be "Mutually Winning"? Of course, if you were one of the two Survivors to Escape, the answer gets even easier in your mind as well.

Thoughts?


Cheers!

    As a killer your MMR goes up or down per kill you get. If you kill two people and two people escape your MMR goes up twice and down twice. The amount it goes up or down depends in part on your relative MMR to the specific opponent. So if you kill someone who is lower MMR your rating will go up less than if you kill someone whose MMR is higher than yours, and vice versa for escapes. Also, if I remember right, I think the order of the kills matters, so the first person to die shifts MMR more than the second or third person to die (since once one survivor dies it significantly raises the probability of others dying.)
