Matchmaking

Hello Guys!

I am curious is there any matchmaking in this game? or as survivor or killer does it just throw you in against anything?

I ask because last night i was playing survivor (I play both equally) and we were a 4 man SWF but we are all rookies, our highest rank was rank 12 lowest was 15.

We come up against a Rank 2 killer (rank 1 after he up-pipped us), needless to say it sucked. He did pop into my stream to say GG at least ^^

    SWF completely breaks matchmaking. (balance too btw)

    The killer should have the best rank in the game, since it's 4 vs 1. Plus the killer should be "scarier". Too many survivors bully the killer with 360's and body blocks. The killer should be feared in the game. When's the last time you watched a horror movie where the killer was near powerless against his prey? Maybe giving the killers a sweeping attack could eliminate some of the problems. I notice this even when I play survivor, not really being intimidated by the killer. I really do love this game, but I would like to see some improvements.

    I agree especially against SWF the killer should be higher to try and combat killer bully comps but there is a massive leap between a rank 2 killer and a rank 12-15 survivor
