Devs, matchmaking is going to be fixed?

I'm tired going against rank 10 killers as rank 1. No challenge for me to loop and "gen rush" low rank matchmaking victims killers. I'm pretty sure a lot of killers are going to quit playing killer. Green and yellow rank killers against rank 1's is not fun.

    Not to mention that survivor queue is garbo

    The alternative is even longer queue times. Do you prefer to wait 10 additional minutes for a red rank killer?

    They already said on others topics about the same subject that they are working on fixing matchmaking. It's been a month (more or less) since the first time I read some dev talking about it so... don't really now why it's taking so long but at least they already talked about that. One of the most recent answers on the subject can be found here:

    that is an effect of

    1. terrible balancing of the game
    2. killer bugs taking forever to be fixed while survivor bugs are fixed in the week
    3. ruin nerf
    4. terrible map design

    all of these contribute to there being less people WILLING to play killer, ESPECIALLY the closer you get to red ranks. the problem is, to few killers for the survivors. this ruin nerf was the straw that broke the cammels back for a lot of people


    when some of these issues get addressed, killers will come back. until then only more killers will leave and survivor Q times will rise


    welcome to Dead by Lobby Simulator, tbh I think BHVR will go about making killer AI instead of fixing those because they are that survivor biased

    it's taking a long time BECAUSE it mostly affects killers negatively.

    bugs affecting killers negatively? low low low priority to fix and will take months, like sound bugs, the lunge on wraith and spirit, etc just to name a few

    bugs negatively affecting survivors? ALL HANDS ON FIXING THIS BUG, IT NEEDS TO GET FIXED NOW! that week probably it gets fixed. like the basement glitch, and the new current if you are in madness tier 3 decisive does not work anymore.


    BHVR is so survivor biased it is not even funny

    In this case specifically, it doesn't affect only killers, it affects everyone. If you search the forum for matchmaking topics, you'll see lots of posts from red rank killers facing low rank survivors so, although it affects everyone (because even as high rank survivor it isn't fun to play aginst low rank killers) it mostly affects new players on both sides because they are constantly being paired up against high rank players.

    I 99% of the time see it as red rank survivors vs green/yellow rank killers

  • asergioam

    Wouldn't say 99%, but probably close to that. Matchmaking is a real mess right now and I just hope they fixt it soon, at least now that the new update as released they might have more time to focus on that.

    them fixing the DS bug is a bigger priority to them atm, because it is a fully negative survivor bug

    Didn’t even know that there was a ds bug and i mostly play survivor. If they took that perk from the game I probably wouldn’t even notice it!
