Can we just have real mmr at this point?

Look, from a streamer standpoint and the hivemind groups that come with them, I can completely understand why you would not want an mmr system. Destroying babies and using bizarre builds that dont work whatsoever can be entertaining to them. But, why dont they just form their own custom match networks? To where they dont have to play the game the way it was intended, the Halo community did this quite well in the past so why cant they do the same? You guys shouldnt have to make or use a ridiculous system (like the emblem system) that hurts the overall experience because certain players cant handle the fire of dbd.


But for players that play this game for enjoyment, or rather want to become better at the game and truly understand it more. The mmr makes way more sense, I beleive the mmr tests are still going... So hopefully you just ignore the whiners and just let players gain and lose mmr again. But im facing babies, literal hiding and panicking on the edges of the map kind of babies (kind of like how it used to be with the survivor sided emblem system, a system that didnt work). The way I play clown which is extremely ruthless, i really dont think its fair for the survivors or even the community to have to deal with that unless they have the same mmr as mine and are prepared to face that. Also, it completely ruins balance even further causing potential nerfs to areas of the game that dont even need it.


In conclusion, bring back mmr consistently and also show mmr so players know that the system is actually working. I know we have a snowflake community that cant handle #########. But you guys are the masters of asymmetrical horror. Please bring back the fire. Your game is brilliant and like no other.

    Streamers (and many others) don't like MMR because it's too binary as it stands. Yes, we need actual MMR but it's not working the way it is.


    Did you loop the killer for 5 generators, getting stuns at every pallet on the map? But wait, you just got hit once on the way out of the gate and killed with a Mori due to the Rancor perk. You lost. The killer was better than you. Nothing you did in the entire match matters... just you didn't escape.


    Instead, you have the way things are now, where when it doesn't matter what you do in a game as long as you kill or escape, I can just facecamp and tunnel everyone. There is no skill to that, but it doesn't matter, because skill doesn't matter. Escape/Kill is all that matters.

    @Absolutgrndzer0 I never mentioned having a system like that whatsoever. Please do not make the developers have to follow such a ridiculous system.

    Dbd involves a specific set of strategies that exist all over the map along with the specific sets of builds. The builds and the strategies require no skill, its the actual way you use these strategies to obtain KILLS and ESCAPES. You have a system mentioned like yours, all you have is blight and nurses every match. Hence a killer apocalypse or survivor apocalypse scenario.

    Basically your survivor sided nonsense against the "weaker" killers, (the killers that offer actual variety in the game). Will never work cause then survivors will then obtain mmr for just existing.
