2v8 killer mmr

I've been getting 20-30 minute wait times for lobbies just for me to get teammates who can't down survivors, won't damage gens, break walls/pallets and don't get any hooks except for hooking people I downed. Is there just no mmr for who I'm playing with? I had some people just yesterday where we were killing all the survivors but today I've not gotten a single teammate who could do anything, what's the deal? Like if I have to wait for 30 minutes just to play I should at least be getting halfway decent teammates right?

    So, first of all, you need to understand that matchmaking in this game does not work to begin with. Even in normal 1v4 mode with normal queue times, it doesn’t work.

    2v8 is a whole different issue because of the massive imbalance of killers to survivors in the queues. Even with matchmaking off, meaning that you can be paired with anyone regardless of MMR score, the killer queues are taking 15-30 minutes depending on time of day. If you wanted accurate matchmaking, you would be waiting for hours.

    I had this happen to me yesterday, and I was very frustrated. I was playing Wraith, and I got paired with a baby Legion, frosty eyes, default cosmetic and all. They couldn't frenzy hit more than 2 people at a time and either didn't know how to hook people or just couldn't down anyone. They didn't get any hooks at all. We ended up with about 9 hooks that were all from me and we got 8 outed. I got teabagged / clicked at by 5 - 6 survivors in the exit gates. At least 3 of the survivors had 5k+ hours. I'm not mad at the new player so much as I am at the terrible matchmaking for putting a total newb vs 5k+ hour survivors and I get to enjoy the BM thanks to the terrible matchmaking

    Just to point out to everybody 2v8 doesn't have MMR at All if they did queue times would be 60 mins

    This is why I generally just try to grab a friend and queue with them.

    Unfortunately I don't have any friends who play DBD, at least not that don't also have a lot on their plate so I'm just kinda screwed which is why if I have to wait a long time anyways I may as well get teammates that are at least a similar skill level imo.

    If we're already getting massive wait times just implement that play while you wait system and fix the mmr, like literally any system would be better than what we have. I'm fine with longer wait times if it means I'm playing 2v8 instead of 1v8

    I'll be honest. 2v8 sucks. It's not fun. I hate when they drop it. It prolongs matches on all modes. It makes me.wanna stop playing until it's over bc I hate waiting more than a minute or so to get into a match.

    IIt's Just not for me. I don't like being ganed up on by two killers. I have enough time avoiding being camped and tunneled by one let alone two

    I might be in the minority when I say this but the only thing I get out of 2v8 is the massive bloodpoints.

    I don't even attempt to play killer bc the wait times. What's the point? 30 min wait times? I mean... why bother? It was a fun gimmick at first but there's just not enough players as a whole to make this work.

    I like choas modifier more than 2v8 in terms of gameplay. I think the devs should let this go.

    Me and my friend, a baby Wesker, had this two days ago. I was Ghostface. We got Coldwind. Our 8 Survivors had three subtle speedhackers and two incredibly toxic players who yes, teabagged and clicked and tried to bully us both in the EGC, with the rest just being very good at the game. I carried him half the round - he could not catch anyone because again, BABY - but Ghostie just cannot handle 8 Survivors on his own so we couldn't get them all and got 6-outed, though I did get two kills for us.

    There was nothing I could have done as an M1 Killer on a bad map with a baby who doesn't know how to handle loops yet, or that Wesker can vault, and hackers in the round. The fact we got 2 kills - the equivalent of a 1k - is stellar in light of that. He should not have gotten that round. I'm not mad at my friend, and not mad at myself for not being able to keep up with people who came to make the round as miserable as possible for us. I'm mad the game decided THIS was a fair matchup at all, because while MMR is turned off, you are still getting people on your level - you just don't gain or lose any MMR.

    This is one of the only games I lost in 2v8, the other was me as Nemmy and my other friend as Wesker again, we got 8-outed by simply a very good team, and also the fact we got a very bad map for Wesker period. There wasn't much to be done but at least those 8 weren't hackers and were great sports in the egc. And, they were clearly at our skill level.

    even in 1v4 there is oftentimes matchmaking fails, of course it never works in 2v8

    Strangely though, it works decently in my killer matches and killer matches only

    Sounds like the usual solo queue survivor teammate according to these forums. They don't do gens, hook saves or anything useful while crouching after the killer chasing someone to get a borked flash save.

    But do you know the irony? It might very well be one of those people. The 30 minute waiting bloat is exactly because many usual survivor favoring players are suddenly more interested in killer when they don't have to play completely alone.

    This is why I love downvoting. Two downvotes, and all you did was state facts, lol.

    Reality is a harsh mistress for some people, I guess.

    Half-fact. MMR does work in 1v4, it just is very "generous" by design.
