Why does initiative work backward?

100% on survivors, great, I can play some quick matches. Waiting for 1 minute ... strange. Switching to killer - immediately find match, and several matches like this in a row.


I am not complaining, I am in a killer mood (new main), but this 100% through me off, I usually play whoever has it.


Is it normal? Maybe it is some mmr thing, 100% is average but for me it is different because I am high/low? Or region.

    It goes off overall. If there are more survivors than killer then it pops for killer even if your mmr bracket needs survivors.
