Matchmaking: What?
Seriously, in what world is this acceptable? It was both these guys' first game and clearly vs a player with a LOT of time given all the teachables etc they were using alongside an ebony mori. I know it's free week or something, but that doesn't excuse this level of mismatch at all.
Furthermore, I did some testing yesterday with some friends trying to lobby up and get the same killer queue to see what would happen, and when the average rank of the swf was the exact same as that of the killer, we would be stuck waiting for a killer for up to 5 minutes while they'd get instaqueues of much lower ranked survivors and meanwhile a lower rank killer did the same for a much higher rank average lobby and they got matched up instantly. There are big issues going on here.

Matchmaking is broken at the moment.. and devs try to fix it for at least 3 weeks now, with absolutely no change since then. I don't know what they are doing, but most matches I get are really stupid at this point. Not having any fun whatsoever.

Yep match making is totally random. Had level 2s with level 15s. Absolutely bonkers.

Match making is definitely wonky, but I think it’s more than that possibly.
DBD is free currently, maybe it’s not all instances, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s some higher rank doing SWF with his/her friend trying out the game for free.

In my opinion, greater than 10 ranks difference should not be able to play survive with friends together. Too unfair to all other players.

My example here was me with the other green rank person, the other two may have been together. But it was clearly their first game.
And it's not the first time it's happened. Plus we need to take into account the other information I gave too; it's definitely not more than the matchmaking being an issue. It's supposed to take average rank and try to find something within that; instant queue outside of those ranks is not doing it's job right.

The problem is NOT SWF. Like, the Matchmaking is legit broken, so no reason to bring SWF up.
Yesterday, I even had long Killer queues. The day before (the day of the ST Release) I had Killer queues of 30 seconds.
Survivor was fine when it comes to waiting times, but I never had someone close to my Rank in my Lobbies. Same for the Killer, rarely it was a Purple Rank Killer. (But I faced some former Rank 1 Killers, I recognized the names)
Watched a VOD of a Streamer from yesterday.
Rank 6, Rank 2, Rank 8 and Rank 10 Survivors. The Killer was a Rank 20 Huntress with 1 hour of playtime. This should not be possible at all. And this would also not be explained with SWF, because nobody of them was near the Rank of this Huntress.

@Snapshot @SunderMun Oh I agree with you guys 100%. Just saying we're probably going to see it a bit more often now that DBD is free currently is all.
The matchmaking system needs to be tweak or straight up overhauled to make matches more fair. I think upcoming on the road map they're doing something with the ranking system? Maybe it will help improve the matchmaking overall.

In this thread, Peanits stated that there is an issue with matchmaking, they've identified the issue, and are trying to get a hotfix out as soon as possible.
