Does the matchmaking boost noobs?
I play with friends in a duo, and regularly see atleast 1 person with literally 5 hours or less playtime on their account, we have 3k plus
You cant tell me my MMR is so low its at the level of someone with no perks, and have no idea what theyre doing.
Getting sick of it, its making the game unplayable.

You forgot to add about how the killers have like 9,000+ hours as well lmao

Not even joking, the match I just got out of was like this.
Me and my friend - both 3k+ hours. Both 100% achievements, challenges, all perks / characters everything unlocked. Meg was giving up first hook, postgame shows she had no perks and I kid you not 2 HOURS PLAYTIME!
The huntress was a streamer with 4k hours P100 huntress, and has a P100 nea in his screenshots.
What even is this? That meg would still literally be getting the noob loading screens. This is why they dont show us our MMR numbers, because I would love to see them explain how my MMR is that low that I am being put with people who have less playtime total that my current session of 4 hours.
This isnt rare, its every few matches.

I mean what you hear from many sides is that the MMR system only in the beginning tries to match you up with people of your MMR. if it can't find someone and ur queue time gets too long it will basically take whoever is available cause a match where u are completely outclassed is still valued higher than a 20 minute queue.
Guess thats all thats happening here. Depending on the time of the day there arent really many killers available. Also many people start with survivor and switch to killers after already having played a lot of matches. So they are already decently experienced how looping etc works and dont stay long in the "absolute beginner" MMR.
So if one of those absolute beginner survivors is searching MMR wont find someone that is on their level for these reasons and after having queued long enough will just put them in whatever match is available.

That's why if you SWF you need at least a 3 man. The matchmaking is just tragic. I play solo queue so I know the pain, it feels like you have to lobby dodge sometimes.

it's probably because you play as a duo. The system either has to find another duo with a similar skill level, or take two players from Solo Q as close as it can to everyone else's skill level to make for as fair a match up as possible. If it can't, then it will pretty much grab anybody to shorten queue times. This will especially be the case at peak SWF hours.
Can be quite a long wait in Solo Q to get into a match at these times. I can tell sometimes it's put me in with a trio or duo that are probably more experienced than I am (multiple P100s).
Plus, the system has to find new players somebody to play with (and what are the chances 5 newbies are all queuing at the same time outside of an event or sale?).

I don't know if it's the MMR change, but my solo queue matches have been pretty good since I started playing again. There are games that have completely borked matchmaking, but it's not the majority. That's something I haven't been able to say for months.

It it something new? I've heard several complains about MMR changes but I've not played for weeks.
Last month I've regularly been matched against players with barely two digits hours in the game while I was playing the Nurse.
Blinking wasn't even required to wipe them out.

Whilst I'm not asking for everyone to have their mmr viewable to all and understand that matchmaking will choose time to match over mmr level matching, it would be nice to know at what mmr level a new player comes in at.
If the cap has recently been raised to 2,100 then it would be nice to have a communication of where the starting point is. All that I'm aware of knowing is the Killer entry level is higher than the Survivor entry level, which I read somewhere months ago.
I'm not even certain of the source but, were this to be true, then starting at the bottom is unlikely.
