The New Matcmaking System after Hotfix 3.2.1

rikaa

Hello, guys actually I wanna know your opinions about the new matchmaking system. In my opinion, the old matchmaking system was bad but the new one is not also that much good. So I read about some comments and idead about the new system and I have seen this kind of comments "The game is better, now swf teams can not bully killer". And yes you are absolutely right about it. I have seen this kind of things, that was unfair for the killer. But the new system is also bad. Okay, it has some good parts but also has bad parts. The developers never balance it actually. They try to fix a side but while they're fixing they ruin the other side. The reason why the new matchmaking is bad and what people do not take into account is this is a team game. This is not 1vs1 game as it is said in introduction "4v1 asymmetric horror game". Rank1 killer and rank1 survivor are not equal in reality. 4 survivor with rank 1 is equal to rank 1 killer. In my opinion, instead of matching depending on the highest ranked survivor in a team, they should take the average of a group and expand the size above the average with a limited range. For example, survivors's ranks in a team are rank2, rank6, rank12, rank8. The average is rank 7. So the killer should be rank7 or above rank7 but not directly rank2 as the new matchmaking. There should be limited range like at most 4 ranks above the average. It is also unfair for the others in the group. Please do not suggest that we should play with randoms or same ranked players. I know the killer side is also hard but there are many ways like noed, ruin, tunneling, camping to hold the pressure on survivors and please do not think the worst scenario like 4 insta heals or looping the killer for hours. We are also swf group and all of us are rank1-rank2. Sometimes, in late hours we can not find people to play and actually we do not wanna play with randoms because of unsafe hooks, instant dc from the match and these kind of things. We invite our lower ranked friends, but not to bully killers(and we never bullied them. we farmed and let them hook us at least 1-2 times and we escaped. So the killer got more than 24k bloodpoints if we talk about the old matchmaking system). It is not that much easy to find red ranked people in different time spaces, so we invite the others. But as you can guess, because of the new matchmaking we face to a red rank killer. It is OK for us but our low ranked friends(they are at rank 9-10) die immediately. So escape is impossible for us. My low ranked friends do not enjoy and we do not enjoy. If there are low ranked survivors they can not fast complete gens because of ruin, hooked friends and surely one of survivors will be looking for ruin, and the red ranked survivor also can not loop a red rank killer for years. I have looked lots of solutions or advices. But they do not make sense in reality. I explained with logical reasons. I do not wanna bully killers or get into easy matches with low ranked friends. I just want to play a fair game. I am also glad that I play at red rank matches and it is very enjoyable when all of us are red ranked survivors, but as i said because of some reasons sometimes we have to play with randoms or low ranked friends. Or just forget about reasons or situations. I sometimes just wanna play with my friend who is low ranked(green). Should I say him "Sorry you are not that much good. I can not play with you."? It is not really kind. On the other hand I teach him how to play in KYF but until he learns it means I can not play with him? Why should I lower my rank or get a smurf account? I do not wanna waste my time starting over and trying to earn bloodpoints. Also they do not reduce the toxicity in the game by doing this. I played with smurf account to see what happens. Believe me guys I have seen lots of good players with brown-yellow ranks(but they are actually red rank ranks and they have legacy items). So toxicity is going on still. This system does not solve the problem. If someone still wanna bully killer, they find a way and do it. Anyway, playing with friends are so much funnier and efficient. I personally never play with randoms. I started to game by myself and for a long time I have played with randoms. I experienced so many bad things and I did not enjoyed that much. I also play as a killer and I know both sides. So we do not really enjoy the game when we die fast because of the new matchmaking. In conclusion the killer has an advantage here. This is a team game, when your friends are hooked, when there is ruin or when you are in chase you can not sit on the gens and complete them easily. Matchmaking also should be fair for survivor as the killer. Also because of the new system, red ranked killers bully my friends and me even he chased me for so long. From this perspective it is also unfair, guys what is the difference here than bullying the low ranked killer with swf? The new system is not better than the old system. How do you think about this topic? ☺️
