(PS4) SWF Waiting Time

Can anyone explain why the SWF waiting time is so infuriating long at most times? We are two people who enjoy playing together and we often have to wait 5+ minutes before we find a game. (Rank 12 + 15 at the moment)

When joining a solo game we are both in a lobby within 10 seconds, so it is not like there isn't plenty of lobbies for us to join.

Is it because of the rank mismatch or is it a simple bug?

Regards!

    Last night had a harder time filling a lobby as a solo player. I loaded in with 2 others and a 4th never came. A friend jumped online and her and I played together with no lobby issues. Maybe it was just bugged.

    Sometimes you find games instantly and sometimes you literally wait for half an hour.

    Then you finally find a lobby, and it's a weak little baby killer who dodges the lobby because he sees swf and pisses his pants.
    Something needs to be done about lobby dodging it's getting out of hand on Ps4

    Using survivor logic this is really easy to explain.

    Baby survivors got the buffs for 4 man escapes every game, so no killers want to play anymore :wink:

    @Master when i play Killer i like playing against SWF on PS4 They are super altruistic and you get more bloodpoints and hooks. I'm sure @Vietfox feels the same way. Solo survivors for the most part play stealthy and conservative. SWF are bold and overconfident and make more mistakes. Occasionally you get a coordinated swf but they are few and far between.

    I hate playing against overconfident ballsy survivors without brain.
    After the suiciding event I took a break until last week to play a single game. I faced a SWF with clicky clicky DS shitheads and guess what. I didnt enjoy the game at all, even if I 4ked them with ease. They didnt even got a single gen done because they played so bad.
    But thats not why I play DBD, such games are just really boring and annoying if you ask me

    Totally agree with this.
    SWF are predictable and give you way more bps than solo survivors even if you don't get 4K.

    I personally take mental health breaks from the game to keep me from getting to that point that the game makes me rage. I like when they play clicky clicky and i will taunt on the other side as a survivor to get a killers attention. I get a huge laugh if i do it against the pig and she downs me and "teabags". I don't know its a game i just try to treat it as such. The game is fairly broke at least on PS4 at the moment with random dc's/game crashes/killer can't swing weapon, etc.... I just roll with it. 4 squadettes are not going to push my buttons.

    Kinda weird for 2 man to have to wait so long, but the new matchmaking system should fix it.
    Not sure when it will be out, mind you.

    I agree. SWFs just aren't fun to play against. Even if they're suicidal potatoes, or coordinated smurfing/badly mixed rank douches.

    maybe the "weak little babies" need to put their mics away.

    Personally my matchmaking is fine, but I've been crashing literally for every match I play. Sometimes I play for a while and it randomly sends me back to title screen and other times I just walk around and boom back to title screen
