Match Making has been Mori'd

Come on devs....this match making is ridiculous! Why are you mixing US region with people from across the world? we are all dealing with it, so much so that people with high ping just accept their defeat and join in anyways! This is ruining the fun of it all. I used to wait like 15 seconds for survivors to join my que, now it's over a minute. Most survivors are from Korea, Germany, and Brazil. Come on...we all just rather you revert back to how match making was. Like, who on the dev team broke it? jesus christ. rank 1 vs'ing rank 18s in mid day?

    I got into a few lobbies earlier where the killer's ping was like 1100ms. I promptly left to find a new lobby.

    Try being a killer main where you have to wait over a minute to get any survivors in your lobby, when you do they are from across the world and don't want to leave the lobby, so you are forced to leave so you can actually TRY to find an enjoyable game where the people arent lagging and DCing at every corner

    I’ve decided to take a leave from the game, as this matchmaking system is not fun in any way. And from what @not_Queen has said, it is not going to change anytime soon. The devs have their heads permentaly implanted in their asses, which explains part of it. The community asked for a better matchmaking system, which could have simply been adding a timer to when your next match should occur.

    Noone asked for the crap that we have been given, where killers and survivors are being matched with ranks that they obviously should not be. In their own dev streams they say, “If you stay in a lobby with a high latency, there is no one to blame but yourself.” Well, now we can definitely blame the devs, as they are specifically creating these useless lobbies, that will be dodged, and waste everyone’s time.

    Well the difference is that killer generally has an advantage if a survivor is lagging. You can also tunnel/camp them if it's that bad. I wouldn't bad ping as killer unless like more than 2 had red ping.

    You know it's not fun being a high rank killer going against someone that doesn't move and or camping them just because they lag while there are 3 others? Are you just trolling? Because you aren't really giving me anything to go on with your comments.

    If they are lagging its going to hurt them more than you. Catching them should be pretty easy so yes you can just tunnel them to death if it bugs you that much. I've done it before, as a 110 killer against good survivors. I didn't want to, but the lag was pretty annoying during a chase and I could tell other survivors didn't like it either (as it seemed like they would try to heal the person or something and the guy was skipping around).

    Let's not make this a survivor vs. killer thing. High-ping lobbies are unfun for everyone.

    I don't understand why the devs are matching people from all over the world with each other. When you have to wait "only" 3 minutes to get into a lobby, but then you have to dodge the lobby several times in a row because the ping is unplayable, nothing has been gained.

    The matchmaking has been terrible since the new system was implemented, constant 3 person lobbies without the 4th spot being filled, red pings, and when you finally get into a game, the killer is either a rank 20 vs green/purple ranks or rank 1 killers against rank 20 survivors.

    Struggling to find a game within 20 minutes isn't fun, the system before the lobbies were almost instantaneous, and apart from a group of sweaty SWF, the matches were fairly balanced.

    it seems they have taken 2 steps back, trying to go forward, what should of been a sophisticated match making system that has been in the works for months, looks more like a random match generator, where players from different continents can be grouped together, and rank is even more meaningless now.

    @Master Matching all kinds of different ranks with each other is one thing, but ignoring the location of the players is another. :(
