MMR - Killer vs. SWF

This is something I haven't been able to understand yet..

Came to mind again recently because of the latest survey where I was asked to rate whether the skill level of the survivors I faced were identical or different from each other.

So, there were 3 SWF groups, noticable by their names and steam friends, and goin' against them felt completely the same.. One or two of'em seemed to be on my play level but they brought their big brothers to protect them..

I'd like to know.. When a SWF queues up, whose MMR decides what kind of Killer they'll face? The lowest? The highest? Does the system calculate an average? Pure happenstance?

Someone knows?

    I believe matchmaking takes the average MMR of the entire SWF.

    I would wager... None of the above. It likely depends on a few different factors. A lot of people misunderstand mmr as some tool to have balanced games when it is also merely a win to loss regulator.

    Can confirm it's the average. My survivor MMR is extremely low since I die nearly every game, so I'm usually vs'ing literal newbies in solo queue. When I'm in a swf of highly mixed skill, it's usually killers that are far below the rating of the top player in the group and far above the rating that I typically get while solo.

    They throw the SWF with any old baby killer to keep their queue times down. If the SBMM actually worked in regards to SWF and their advantages, they should queue up and only be playing against strong Blight/Nurse players
