    This was happening even before they thought to change the matchmaking system.

    Aye. It's just happening even more so now.

    Just happened again...

    They reverted it after the backlash and then went ahead and changed it back? They seriously just want quantity over quality?


    This just ruins matches and no doubt will turn newer people away from the game having to face veteran players all the time.

    I played a pretty good amount last night and today, so the pool is large, but so far I've had about 9 or so games with ranked matchmaking like this. That's more than I'd experience in a week or more of mis-matched rank trials either before the matchmaking changes were announced or during the implementation of changes. And none of these appear to be happening due to SWF-induced rank disparities, either... just bad pairing in general.

    Sure, rank doesn't matter every time, but it sure matters sometimes... especially when paired with 'taters on solo survivor, dying on first hook after trying to save somebody who DC'ed on the hook (who DCs on the friggin 'hook... just suicide if you're that hot and bothered). But that's neither here nor there. Point being this: Matchmaking is allll out of whack.

    Maybe I'm just having unfathomably bad luck with it, but it feels too abundant in its current occurrence to be coincidental.

    OK, gave up on trying to find a game as killer and went back to survivor. This one wasn't AS bad, but still... think I'm done for the day.

    Still going strong today! Woohoo! VS a Rank 2 Nurse this time. Entered the match with only 3 survivors, the Rank 6 went down almost instantly and DC'ed. Rank 12 went down, I unhooked and took the brunt. They ran off while she hooked me. She went after them and downed them. I miraculously Kobe'd as she zipped back and downed me again the moment my feet hit the ground. On a good note, I wasn't expecting Infectious Fright and that sent me for a bit of a loop... so at least that was a refreshing change of pace in this 2 min. game. GG.

    Pretty good... job so far! #Hex:Matchmaking

    If I didn't need BP built up for Ash's release Tuesday, man... Think I'm just going to play straight-up goofy until they fix this nonsense so I don't end up raging and putting my boot through the monitor out of frustration. This is nonsense, man.

    I am Rank 15 and have been facing Rank 1 and Rank 2 Killers more often than my own Ranks. It's discouraging and not fun, for me, and I'm sure for the Killers too. I'd much rather wait an extra ten or even twenty minutes for a match that doesn't see me dead in less than three minutes. It's crazy to make ranking up harder and then give us opponents ten or more ranks higher. Not balanced and so maddening.

    a ranking system doesnt fit this game anyway. and you guys still dont understand how this matchmaking works. its matching you with red rank killers because there is almost no red rank survivor since its so hard to pip. that would mean that this would NEVER get a match. we just dont have enough ppl playing this game at high ranks. im happy now that i can actually play the game. im rank 1 killer and i couldnt play the game because of lobby sim.
