Poor green ranks... How do you expect them not to DC...?
We didn't bring in more than 2 items per game, this are my two regular 4 men SWF parties with whom we actually do something to aid the perception of Ruin Nerf and try to help more people to keep wanting to play killer more to help Queue times even by playing "easy mode" if we see you having real trouble, but come on... like this...?
What happened to the +-6 rank difference to the top rank in the party...? I mean, in one game the killer even had only 1 perk... But the rank difference is outrageous ain't it...? This are just two images out of 12 I took from playing yesterday and the day before:

Yeah, we let him farm a bit cause he couldn't do anything, it was a horrible game, post game messages:
Killer: ######### is wrong with matchmaking
Me: We knew, don't worry
Killer: Thanks for going easy and not bringging toolboxes to rush
Me: No prob, gg
Killer: GG

We got GG messages in most games, but the DCs were understandable...

Thanks for being understanding. I’m a rank 10 on killer atm and haven’t played on that side since I got my challenges done 2 weeks ago because the matchmaking forced me to sweat if I wanted my kills. I’m a green rank for a reason, I’m not ready to go against red ranks. I’ll be going back when they fix matchmaking. I can’t even get farming matches because 9/10 survivor groups say no now.

same here on Xbox, every time I play survivor I get gold rank killers that refuse to break pallets, that’s why I don’t bring toolboxes if there’s more than one, Im rank 5 for survivor and 8 for killer

I feel so bad for those killers. I got a rank 17 killer against all rank 4 survivors. I added them as a friend and apologised for the poor matchmaking. Needless to say they got destroyed but I didn’t want them being too disheartened.

Yeah I played a few hours last night and I’m green rank (11) and it’s never a question of if I’ll lose it’s just how bad/mean will the rank 1 swf be. And how fast will I lose.

My usual 2 SWF party with 4 men you can see above are trying to make a difference, hope more people join this movement

I feel bad when this happens, for the first minute or two I run around doing things until I notice things are going too fast and people aren't getting hit. I stepped into a trapper trap the other day to kick things off (little did I know my team would then divebomb hook at every chance) but hey the rank 11 got a 4k on red ranks lol

I appreciate your post. I've been on the receiving end of this mismatchmaking lately.
People say ruin was a crutch perk and it would be good to remove those killers from the top ranks. I don't think anyone considered it would create a vacuum and unjustly suck green killers into the red ranks to compensate for their loss.
I don't know about anyone else but I like to casually play games not competitively. Getting your ass handed to you with 200 hrs under your belt by the 2k-hrs+ SWF teams is not fun. I'll play 3 in a row like that and call it a night to come back in a day or two.
No I don't want to git gud, I just want to be matched with similar skill level players.

I dont last 3 rounds of that crap. There is losing and then there is being schooled. After the second one i start deranking again.

Thank you for doing this. I am a yellow killer who is getting sucked down into Purple, and the occasional red ranks and it is not fun. I know I am not good, I play to have a good time, I don't need to be a red rank, I just want some good games. Hard to do when you are extremely over matched. I have had a couple matches where survivors have let me kill them, which is always nice. Flip side though I have had matches with 3 toolboxes and they last less than 5 minutes without a hook.
I don't know if the MMR is going to fix this issue. We just won't know the level of who we are playing.......

Dang usually green ranks tunnel the randoms I play with, or he'll tunnel me

Ever since reset last month. When i play killer.. Was rank 12 now rank 7. Every game i have done has been 3 to 4 red rank survivors. I do get 4k to 2k even 0ks. But its been a problem. Even when i play survivor im red ranks. And my friends are red as well.. We get purple and green killers. They need to fix that.

What happened to the +-6 rank difference to the top rank in the party...?
They lied about that.

I just played 4 games in a row as a killer, rank 8/9. At least 2, often 3 red ranks each game. They are all so much better than me at looping, I feel absolutely powerless, I have to chase for ages to get one (if I don't give up when they reach a strong loop), and since I don't facecamp they just escape all and there is absolutely nothing I can do to stop them..
Can't wait to derank and go back to green/purple survivors, I loved playing killer before, now I'm just exhausted. ><

It’s just as bad at green rank, I think we’re gonna have to wait til they implement the new system so then we won’t know what level we’re going against and can’t complain because we won’t know. We’ll just get stomped a majority of the time and hope we don’t get paired up with swf red ranks. Because BHVR prioritizes connection quality, and que times over fairness.

I expect people to act like adults and not rage DC even if they lose. That isn’t too much to ask. DC’ing is a bane on this game and is the single worst aspect of this game by far. It’s incredibly childish.

And yellow killers...
But if you do the math, 4 + 5 + 2 + 5 = 16

I havent experienced red ranks in my games yet but I'm getting yellow and purple ranks in my game and its annoying

Made posts about this weeks ago, I've got 2000+ hours in the game and this ######### is getting ######### at this point. To have to apologize to a killer after he hard losing is sad. Most of them have pretty good spirits, but when I tell them to go to the forums and complain most of them just say what's the point. Devs are really turning their back on this game. It's 500x worse if I bring a swf. These players are clearly not anywhere close to our player skill and just get ######### on. Of the 10+ games I played the other day, ONE was against OhTofu, the rest no killer was below Rank 10. If anyone is having fun playing this game at this point, they are delusional.

Update from rank 10. Played my 2 games for the night almost all survivor were red rank. One purple sprinkled in.
Game one : 1, 4, 3, 6
Game two: 1, 3, 3, 5
1k due to suicide on the hook, lots of waves, lots of tea bags and flashlight clicks to remind me they are still teabagging lol. Not casual gaming.

Friend just got out of this gem

Looks like all of my games tonight. Really ruins the fun for killers, but we know BHVR isn't really concerned about that.

Lately I’ve just been taking pictures of my post game rank matchup’s and sending it to DBDs Instagram Facebook any social media I can get to just to try and get some attention, I know it’s probably not gonna work at all but maybe some slight annoyance will help.
3 -
They didn't lie, there just aren't enough red rank killers; most survivors are stuck in the top ranks where they don't belong. Combo that with only going back to rank 5 after rank reset...
Red rank survivors get ridiculous queue times into less experienced killers, by far. Whereas mid rank killers get fast queue times straight into said red rank survivors.
@Peanits please consider fixing the bug that affected the average swf rank search and bring back average for matchmaking if it's possible, just as a start to remedying this situation. It's making the game feel frustrating to play for both sides.
3 -
I though stats were padded so that killers are overperforming?
0 -
you know all that peanits will say is if you submitted a bug report, dude gives zero #########

"If a match of the same rank is not available, the system will gradually expand the acceptable range until it finds a match. This has a hard limit of 6 ranks above or below your rank." - Developer Update September 2019.
"hard limit" is a lie, that limit is broken every second match I have.
5 -
I don't recall it ever being a hard limit; the limit of 6 ranks was before expansion from what I understand; they've been saying for a long time that it will continually expand.
0 -
Same for PC australia too lmao
1 -
Then perhaps ask @Peanits why they posted explicitly, "This has a hard limit of 6 ranks above or below your rank".

I was thinking the same thing. Kudos to them for hanging in there, and toughing it out..
0 -
That's a good spirited game. Both sides working together when you know one is at a disadvantage. That's a rarity. Hats off to y'all for noticing that, and lending a hand instead of just crushing them.

How are you getting this match making in SWF? My friends are 15-17 and I'm a red/purple and we always only ever get a red/purple killer, to the point that none of my friends play anymore.
0 -
That's because you're a red/ purple survivor that you're teammates are getting red/ purple killer's
1 -
I'm rank 14 as killer and keep getting purple rank survivors. I'm holding my own against them. Usually getting a 4k but, I definitely have to work for it most games.
0 -
Thanks for all the replies! We need this fixed!
2 -
I imagine a dev will comment and say they are totally working on fixing it and that the new matchmaker will address these issues and more.....but I don't believe them, I think they will just mess it up again tbh.
We'll see if I am wrong though eventually I suppose.
