This game really is bad when playing with my friends

I didn't want to post this to general cause this is more of a suggestion type post.

But this is the most miserable game I've ever played with friends.

Admittedly none of my friends are very good at this game. They're actually really bad at this game.

But it seems like matchmaking doesn't factor any of that in when we play together. For example, the first match me and my 100 hour friend played together was against a 9000 hours nurse who was a tournament player.

And all of the matches we played after that weren't much better.

People say Dead by Daylight is not a competitive game.

But I will tell you it's not a party game either. No one is having a party playing this game with their friends.

It's a game of frustration and annoyance. Why oh why would you ever have a low skilled player being matched against some of the best killers in the game? Why? In what world would that make sense in any other game?

It doesn't.

So, this is really a plea to developers to say. Make this game fun to play with your friends. Why make it feel so bad? Why make the games just feel so one sided? They really do feel that way if your friends aren't great at the game. Maybe it's a different story if you're both new players or both in low MMR. But again, when I play with my friends we're getting matched with amazing killers and honestly also with not great teammates. Unwinnable games almost entirely and no one wants to play that repeatedly. You can't.
