Yeah that’s probably going to be common until they fix survivor pipping, so they can fill red ranks

This situation is disgusting. It was EASILY foreseeable, lobby times at high ranks were already utter ######### even with the old system and now ranking up was made harder which just amplifies the problem massively. And there STILL is no statement about why it was disabled. Community Managers, if you are reading this: Stop wasting time on the forums and get an explanation out! I want to know WHY I am no longer allowed to play at rank 1 (due to MASSIVE wait times) and when I can finally play again!

Just started my recording, going to school. Tell you guys how long it takes. Already 3 hours in..

Lol I'm hyped to see how much time it takes

Calling it now: Lobby fills after 8 hours of waiting, but the game freezes during loading.

5 hours of waiting to be dodged

Rank 19 Killer is just as bad on PC.
Honestly, it must only be the middle ranks getting matches since they reverted the system.
But hey, don't forget to buy the next DLC! It's a new killer or survivor to stare at in Lobby Simulator by Daylight.

Last night matches were ok for a bit and then i got the 30 plus minute wait on a lobby and said screw it. I was playing more as lobbies popped faster on PS4 as that has been a constant issue for 2 or 3 months.

Literally had no problems last night, a lot said they wanted pipping to be harder and you are surprised that there are less people in the higher ranks?
Just get rid of rank and match based around kill rate/survival rate.

I prefer the new ranking system. I'm green ranks on survivor and killer and load times were less than 3 minutes each side.
Last night I played as killer and waited for 10 minutes. Switched to survivor, waited roughly 6 or 7 minutes and finally got into a match. Thankfully, it lasted for over 30 minutes. It's the only game I played.

Wonder if he's gotten a game yet.

Took approx from 3 AM To 7 AM, Thats 4 hours, went to school, and my video says that I got a game at 12:37 PM. THATS [BAD WORD] DISGUISTING IT TOOK ALMOST 9 HOURS TO FIND A ######### GAME

Couldn't they make that purple ranks play vs red and green vs yellow? We don't need exact rank vs rank matchmaking.
0 -
@ShirtlessDwight we dont have exact rank vs rank right now. I had this game last night. It was one of 4 games I played during a 4 hour timeframe.
So some of us are waiting forever AND getting horrid matchups.

Christ, this is echoing what happened to Heroes of the Storm. Blizzard decided to start screwing around with matchmaking (and adding a role queue to boot) and it completely screwed the pooch. Long lobbies, and then still crappy match-ups.
They never did fix it before Activision-Blizzard decided to say "eff it," with the game, abruptly shutdown the eSports division without any warning, moved HoTS Devs to other projects, and left it with a skeleton crew a few months ago.
I'm waiting to see how Behavior, a much smaller and apparently less experienced company, pulls itself out of this mess. I haven't uninstalled yet, but I have zero faith they're going to be able to adequately fix this fiasco. I'm starting to feel that they've completely screwed themselves this time.

Oh god I had no idea about that. Was thinking about getting back on heroes then other day.. RIP.
But yeah, at first I was like," okay, maybe the timer will be higher but I should get better matches at least." Then after 4 hours I realized it's a ######### show. They reverted the times, but not the pip system (which I actually enjoy its difficulty, just not the method of implimentation), and apparently not all of the rank system.
Which sucks. I've been defending this for weeks as I havent had many dcs, or bad wait times. However, this revert hurts.

So there was no rank ones on, they changed the pipping system for the rank 1s to keep boosted people out. There are no more boosted people in there. It is empty.

Yeah, I'd skip going back to HoTS. They had updates done six months in advance they stated in January when all this took place, which leaves them with their steady updates through June or so.
After that, I would not expect much. They admitted things will be a lot slower.
And yeah, I'm a Rank 19 killer. Under the new system, I was getting matches even at 1:30am east coast time within 4 minutes. I was facing Survivors who were usually Ranks 13-11, but was doing fine. I still managed 2k to 4k every match-up.
With the revert, my Rank 19 lobbies are the ultimate Lobby Simulator ######### show. This makes the HoTS fiaco look like Apex Legends rapid queue times.
Blizzard couldn't fix the HoTS mess. And I'm to believe that Behavior is going to manage to fix this mess they've made? It's ironic that their latest DLC was titled Demise of the Faithful, because I've certainly lost all faith in Behavior.

Geez that sucks. Glad I found out before reinstalling though haha.

Lol this looks exactly like the new matchmaking to me.

Well, I guess it's a good thing that I made Apex Legends (PC, US server) in-game friends thanks to a forum thread for noobs and chill people to team-up together and skip the elitist random SoloQ. Guess I'll be playing that game.
Maybe I'll use the $14 that I was going to spend on the Legion and Plague DLCs before this revert back to Lobby Simulator, and buy the Battle Pass or Octane instead.

Could be playing survivor and still getting matched with lower ranks only to be yeeted from hooks in front of the killer. Nah but sorry about your empty lobbies forrealsies.

I find it odd that any rank 19 killer or survivor would be having trouble finding games. 20-15 has to be the most populated range at the moment?
As a rank 17 survivor i played 3 games last night and waited 2 minutes or so on each. (Ps4 pst 6pm-7pm.) All 3 killers were ranged 18-20. Hopefully this gets fixed for reds and purples somehow.

Had 4 matches last night as killer, rank 10, and waited less than 3 minutes for each. Best part was they were all from my region, so no blinking survivors. Ran 3 survivor matches and took less than a minute at rank 10. Again, green ping vs rank 8 US killer.
The other system was horrendous. Wait 5 to 10 minutes for survivor lobby just to get 600 ping. Took about 45 minutes and multiple lobbies to find a 250 ping and it turns out to be a rank 20 or rank 2. No pips due to lack of chase or being steam rolled by a rank 2 Billy.
Glad they changed it.

Oh yes. The old system where I'd get matched in under 2 mins with maybe mismatched was so much worse than waiting 30 mins, killer dc, waiting 15 more mins to get this match. Last night. They didnt fix anything. They made it worse.
The old system you didnt like? Is what happens now. The temp one they did was much better, much more consistent. This is dogshit.
Now I wait AND have ######### matchups.
Yes I reposted it, because it seems people see the title and come to just argue the point and not notice that its STILL AN ISSUE.

OP I made a video with a snippet of your forum post highlighting some of the issues with the game in its current state. I didn't mind a change to the ranking system to be slightly harder, but at this rate ranks are sinking and queues are rising.

I agree totally with getting rid of ranks all together. I’ve never had to sit and wait 30 minutes to get in a match on F13, level 1s play with level 150s and I’ve never once heard anybody say there should be a system to separate levels. There’s too many egotistical people in this game that think they’re hot ######### when they’re a rank 1 for that to happen probably. All I’ve ever seen rank one being good for when I’m there is waiting forever to get in a lobby. It’s always been fine as a killer on wait times, but then 9 of 10 survivors you play against are toxic as hell which goes back to the egotistical thing I figure.
1 -
I agree with you there although I do think there should be some form of matching based off ability, kill/escape rate etc.
Yeah people like a rank to show off but most people just want to have fun playing the game and you can't do that when the top go up against the bottom.

I’ve wondered if when they start up dedicated servers could they have an in game difficulty option easy and difficult that would send you to servers dedicated to whichever one you chose? If something like that happened even though so many are crying about ranks I guarantee you the easy servers would be full because even the would be rank 1 players would be in them. But still you wouldn’t have a match maker trying to sort through ranks to put you in a lobby so it would have to be quicker I’d think. I really think things would’ve been better if they never had ranks to begin with though because nobody would know the difference there’s just good and bad players like in any game.

I honestly dislike ranks in a game like this but I understand why they were originally added. The problem is these days is red ranks is mainly for people who like to feel more important and add weight to the arguments on here.
I wouldn't want an easy mode, just a fair challenge for both sides. There is no point in nerfing/buffing perks if you are up against someone who is better, the will crush you regardless.
Keep the NOED/DS/Camping/Adreneline whatever people moan about, just keep it on the same skill level and people will have a better chance of countering these things.
