I need to ask you guys questions about matchmaking because this is really getting on my nerves. In every survivor match I am in, my teammates are all Prestige 10 or under. Mind you, I play as an ace who is Prestige 19, but still not high-level or skilled at all. EVERY SINGLE killer match I play, I am facing AT LEAST 1 Prestige 80 or higher; the last 3 games I have played have been against 1-2 Prestige 100 players. WHY??? I have no killers above Prestige 9, and I play primarily as a survivor. This makes no sense, and then I compare hours for those on console, since that is what I am on, and they have 10k more hours than I do. Behavior, any answers, or are you just trying to make me quit Killer, period?

Prestige does not mean anything. Its not indication of anything else than someone wasted a lot of bloodpoints on a character.

This is a silly take, always has been.
You need to play the game to earn and spend bloodpoints, which still gives you an advantage over newer/clueless players.
A P100 character is not guaranteed to be an exceptional player, far from it, but it shows how much time youve put into the game.
You could be a very casual player who plays on and off, and has high prestiges obtained over the course of years, you will still have more experience/better fundamentals than actual new players and an advantage over them

Matchmaking has been kinda scaff since everyone's MMR was reset for the rework. Killer is especially bad, as every separate killer has their own MMR. So killer games until you've lost a bunch will throw a lot more solid teams at you than it should.
As for surv? It's hard to call, prestige isn't the best indicator of skill. I have a prestige 100 Jeff but I'm pretty mid at running chase on a good day. Likewise a 10k hour sweat can just load up a new character with 0-3 prestige.
Also your MMR isn't based off of prestige levels. It's all about match performance. I have about 2k hours in game, I regularly see 100-300 hour killers because killer is much easier than survivor, whereas when I play killer I'll regularly come across 5-6k+. hour players

So let's put up a scene yes?
Let's say there's a p100, p25, p50, and a p0 on the same team. Let's say the killer is one of the rare hunters who doesn't immediately return to hook just to tunnel. Can be whoever ya want.
The trial goes thusly: the p100 dies the quickest and easiest with pittance of points compared to the rest, the p0 is basically a all-star who's top of the survivors score board. The other 2 are in the middle of the pack, decent enough but no gold stars.
The p100 only used BPD from killer matches/dailies, gifts, rifts, whatever to p100 their survivor and are new to the roll. They may be able to catch survivors but they didn't translate their killer skill well into survivor.
The p0 simply switched to a new character. They have other survivors prestiged, have played for years as both roles but in that match they were a 0.
The 50 plays on and off and the 25 has played a lot of customs but not often in the wilds. Both were atleast decent teammates.
In this scenario prestige shown at the end really didn't mean anything did it?
