Why do level 1 killers face off against fully fledged survivors? Match making problems

Why do i, someone who just bought the Oni at level 1, face off against people who have all 4 perks in purple?


am i truly supposed to feel like a shithole the first time i buy a new killer and wants to play him? is there any reason for the way match making pits me, a new killer, versus not new survivors? does the developers even know?

being level 12 doesnt mean jack ######### when you need to find out a new killer you have not tried before and pitting me versus fully stacked purple perk guys doesnt make my experience any better.

because it just feels frustrating to play when you have to climb such a steep hill with no perks barring one, and you face off against a full team of dudes all with perks ready to kill you, so to speak.


While the match making often dont find people near your level, it COULD at least attempt to find players who dont have all 4 perks unlocked when you play a new killer, or at least not purple perks. if thats too much to ask for, then at least when you DONT have all perks yet, then fight against people of lower rank to make up for it.


fighting people at your rank with no perks when your enemy has a total of 16 is not fair and it makes me want to honestly not level up anyone else. and it makes me hate this game.
