Great job DBD you've outdone yourselves with MM

yeah played a game yesterday with a four man swf two rank ones the other two were rank two and three (i was rank 7 killer). I chased one guy and hooked him within the first 2 mins and when i turned around my ruin got popped then 2 gens right after and i kinda just gave up and followed them around

Literally the next game I played after my comment. And I know what you're going to say "But you killed three." Yes, because they wanted to teabag so I made like I was going to give up and go left, revved chainsaw and then sprinted down exit gate swinging XD but yeah, this is an issue. I'm not just 16, I'm a new 16 lol. My Bubba is 41 but that's because I have played two killers more than a couple matches and he's one of them. My next highest is 15. This game despite the lawls at the end was as you imagine, about 6 minutes in length (might've been less)

I have definitely noticed that survivor queue times are like three and four times longer than killer queue times. If I queue as a killer which is what I normally do that's what I play most thus far, the queue times are pretty near instant I mean under 30 seconds. If I queue survivor especially late at night like now... when I'm playing survivor as I am right now I have time to do things like scroll through TikTok or you know, check the forums lol

That's genuinely why I'm so active on the forums right now because I have nothing to do for 8 minutes between matches and right now what I want to do is dead by daylight so that's what has me on the forums while waiting for the game.

Edit: I didn't mean to totally disregard your question there I'm sorry. Yeah, I mean I've been playing for a bit now, like 20 hours or so but definitely not an extended amount of time. I have one survivor at level 44 and one killer at level 41 because I'm kind of like, focusing for that orange perk so that I can take self heal and barbecue and chili on other people but that's about as far as my progress has come.

People just look at the rank numbers and start whining. Why dont they instead look at themselves and how they played, and what they could have done different during the match. *sigh*

As a rank 8 killer you really can’t complain about this.

I played killer for the first time since rank reset yesterday and only got matched with red ranks and I’m a rank 17 killer...

This has happened to me consistently for the past few months. Rank 8 killer and I load into a game with all red ranks. They're usually not even swf. Loaded into a trapper game a couple days ago, 3 gens done in the first couple minutes before I've even seen a survivor. Just thought, "Okay, it's been 5 minutes, 4 gens are done and I've hit one of them once. I'm just gonna stand in a corner and cry."

You absolutely can and should complain. What you're saying here is that we should all just ignore and "deal with" something that is obviously broken. That would be like not complaining about being in a race where you have to run and everyone else gets a car.

What I think @Taiga was saying is that the OP's match in particular is not something to complain about. The ranks in that game are not unbalanced, if you are a rank 8 killer there is a big chance of going against red or green rank survivors. And anyway all this discussion is pointless since they are aware of the fact that the MM is NOT working as they wanted and thay are implementing a different way of matching players.

You know I play both sides and the common complaint is the survivors r to strong or the killer is. Now look of your gonna proxy a hook or don't know how to break chase then YOU messed up not dbd. Next ppl have became so reliant on location perks and gen regression that they don't know how to track and pressure but when they do have them and they 4k the survivor is trash right or salty hmmm... Then if they 4k cause we all go into save a person that your face camping then your good right. Ppl like this just want ez games n no challenge. I will play a bad killer with no perks to get good you gotta take the L... I play survivor with no perks and ppl don't understand I do not need to get out the door to win I pip I win called progress same as killer. And let's not start but you got crutch perks killer and survivor both do and they both use tgem.

Yeah it's been difficult to understand why they took the time to separate ranks by color but disregard them with matchmaking. The other day the lobby ranks ranged from 2 to 18.

I've had so many matches here lately where I was so frustrated by getting crushed so fast that I just stood by the exit so I open it and get it over with..

It's a little disturbing how many death squads I go against considering I'm only green rank, there's just nothing I can really do

The new system starts everybody at zero, so until it gets the full picture of your skill level it will be a bit wonky, so if you are playing people better/worse than you it's because they are currently the same skill as you based on what the system knows, maybe give it some time to actually work before branding it as broken

You had the right idea playing with Freddy and Spirit though. Clown is just not good by pretty much anyone's standards. I can't speak for everyone,but most consider him low tier. I know the feeling though. I'm not arguing against something that frustrates me myself. For anyone that has trouble finding people I'd recommend BBQ and Chili...or better yet,Bitter Murmur,since you know they'll get a gen on. Will help you see if a bunch of people were on a gen,which direction they are headed,etc. Especially works well with Monitor and Abuse or anything that reduces terror radius. Small consolation,I know. And I know it sucks. I switched to survivor to play around for awhile. They say they are working on a new matchmaking system,so I just keep my fingers crossed for that.

I made another comment where I said it used to match by rank. It sometimes still does. I've been playing since like a few months after launch,and just got back after a long break. This literally just started a few months ago. A lot of killers were leaving the game for different reasons. Some didn't like certain reworks,the Ruin changes,the list goes on. And there was pretty much always a low number of red rank killers, especially rank 1. One of the main complaints for awhile was queue times. Sometimes it was 10+ minutes for each role, especially survivor. So I think this whole thing was in response to that..but then it caused this issue we have here.

Jesus christ, that could be an exact copy of my results every evening. But I must say that this happens to me most of the time in the evening. And the matches aren't close. Most of the time I get totaly destroyed, PS4.

Don't worry folks!

The new system will be completely transparent....or invisible and based on secret metrics that no one seems to be able to discuss...or non-existent.

I'm sure it's one of those.

Man, I had a rank 2 complaining to me, a rank 18 killer, about camping after the exit gates are open.

"You don't play well."

"HURR DURRRRRRR"

I'm not really looking forward to ranks being hidden because of interactions like that.

If you'll notice my player level isn't that big of a difference between the 3.

Also I play with BBQ and BP offerings on my other killers so I tend to get 40k BPs per match (If I at least manage to hook 2-3 people once).

The first 2 were the same evening, I'm pretty sure. Most of my other matches are a mix of purple and red ranks, occasional green or yellow so I tend to only screenshot the completely awful matches where it's all red ranks. I have about a dozen more like this from the last week but I didn't want to bombard the post.

If it's a mix of purple and green or a mix of purple, green, and yellow I do alright depending on the killer I play as but if there's any red in the match it usually goes south. Sometimes it's 3 yellow and one red or 3 green and one red and those turn out alright.

The strangest matchmaking I had today was me (purple rank six) matched with three red rank 1 survivors against a red rank 1 Legion. The rank 1 legion downed all three of the rank 1 survivors within the first 5 minutes of the game. I was just sitting there like "uh oh..."

good points
