What the hell is with the horrible ping all of a sudden and match making.
I must have dodged something like 20 lobbies now trying to find even just 1 killer with ping less than 150. Not a single one had less than that. It was fine earlier i was getting green ping killers but now there is nothing. Not to mention i keep getting survivors from all over Europe. Russia, Germany, etc. Its usually nothing but Americans or Canadians since i am in the Midwest United States and that is my steam region. Oh i am also getting really low rank killers aswell. I am at rank 1 and a few matches ago i got a rank 20 killer. Something is broke.

I've read reports of killers whose pings spike once they get into the actual trial, due to the added strain on their system. That might be what's happening.

Not only pings, though. Also rank matching is kind of off. My latest match,

With the stuf going on lately in the forum I assume that a lot of verteran kilers have been bullied away and are taking a break now.
I personally dont know any killer that still actively plays the game actually and im barely playing either compared to last year1 -

I personally dont know any killer that still actively plays the game actually and im barely playing either compared to last yearAs much as it would fit the forum-narative of the killer that's threatened with extinction, it's most likely not related to that, because killers are not retreating from the game. It seems more logical that it is indeed related to backend changes of the match making. And it's happening to everyone.

Has anyone had a game of low rank survivors facing a high rank killer? I am just playing a fwe rounds on my low ranked survivor and I never faced a high rank killer so far. (A lot of survivors are starting "trying" to play killer though, really amusing

)I saw it happen on Edgaralanbro's stream. I believe he went against rank 15-20 as a rank 2 killer.

I've been getting matched with people from regions i've never really had before this last week and most of my lobbies I join in and the pings 250+.
Some of my lobbies the ping when I join is 400-900 and it doesn't go down either and quite a few I see people i've played with before also leave.
I usually get matched with Western US, Australia, New Zealand, and occasionally Eastern US, Japan, China etc.
But lately I'm getting Russia, Turkey, Africa and other places and to answer @Master I've gotten killers all over the level spectrum even when the groups with swf aren't that big a difference.

Started evening going for a survivor daily and got nothing but red pings. I didn't tick around to check rank, but I escaped, which is unusual. For the rest of the evening, I've been in killer games and waiting for 5mins a time at R10-12.
Based in UK, so assume something a little off?0 -

Same! Today i have been matched with a wide spectrum of people. Germany, Russia, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, etc. All countries in the Eastern Hemisphere. Usually when i play its with other Americans and Canadians and we have green to maybe yellow ping but i keep getting Europe. Its weird.

MM is really strange the last days. One game was like this:
Killer Rank 17, 2 Rank 1s, 1 Rank 11, 1 Rank 8...Played Killer for a Daily, I am Rank 15, got matched with 2 Red Ranks and 2 Purples.
Ping is fine though.

Yep, I'm EU and generally get UK, Ireland, Germany, Spain, and Russia, but recently seen a little more from The Americas, Canada, Australia, and a little earlier today I had a game (as a Rank 5 surv) against a Rank 16 killer - and the other 3 (who were SWF) were all rank 8 or less. Definitely something up.
I also had to give up on playing surv due to the ridiculous pings I was getting lobby after lobby - so went on killer and first two lobbies I got saw 2 green pings + 2 x 300+ pings, then something similar again. When I did get a game it was well matched but yeah.

Mhm yeah played a few more games and its pretty obvious.
BHVR is trolling once once again

Lobbies have been really bad today, I have a killer that is searching at rank one that i am green to, and he gets red people joining, but it insta joins me in red lobbies and when I get games I get rank 18/19 killer to be green rather than the ones searching in my region with Green AT my Rank... Ive only noticed since today too, i think they are testing but broke
