What's Wrong With Killer Lobbies Though?

Played about 15 games in a row because I LOVE Ghostface, and at best the Killer wait time was like 5 minutes. At worst it was 15 minutes.

Do the devs know why? If they do know why, is there an announcement, or ETA on some sort of fix?

    Because "everyone" loves Ghostface. More people are playing killer because of GF so more people have to wait longer for their killer lobby to fill.

    @DenimChicken I feel like that really isn't true. This hasn't happened with any killer release before. It never lasted this long at least.

    @AntiJelly The lobbies are probably broke again on killer side.

    Personally I’m starting to think my killer matchmaking is always waiting to fill my lobby until the search is fully open. My spread of ranks and pings have been abnormally ######### as of late.

    I agree. I live on the east coast USA and it takes me waaaay longer to just open up a lobby than it used to. 5 mins at least.

    The thing that makes the wait times worse is that broken three-man lobbies are still a thing. I wait forever, I finally get a lobby, and no matter how long I wait it never gets a fourth survivor. I end up being forced to dump it and start again.

    There´s also a free weekend right now. Which might affect killer lobbies.

    What's lame is it takes at least 10 minutes just to start the lobby then you still have to wait for people to join.

    They seem to have changed the matchmaking system, it now takes a long time just to create a lobby
