Match making is very very bad on Xbox.

I'm a Rank 2 survivor and I keep getting rank 20 killers. Some lobbies will be full with red rank survivors but have a level 19 or 20 killer. And it happens multiple times a day. Been going on for at least the past week and a half. Its killing the game experience for me when I play against low rank killers. I'm starting to play less and less now...

    its not only on xbox, on pc too. in my opinion its because there are nearly not enough redrank killers out there. when i play killer (in redranks) i only get red ranked survivors which is okay, but when i play survivor as red rank too i get mostly green ranks, sometimes red or purple.


    just shows how imbalanced this game is on better ranks and i can understand every killer who dont want to play in the red ranks.... its just stress + as higher u get as more toxic are the people

    Yes, red rank survivors are 60% toxic 20% cocky, so its the direct result. No more red rank killer, so purple rank killers need to play with red rank, they get teabbaged, no more purple rank killers. So green rank killers need to play with red rank, they get flash light click 100 times a game, no more green rank killers. So new baby killer need to play with red rank, to cater their fun and toxicity,get 0k and teabagged and insulted, ---> UNINSTALL AND REFUND.

    if this game dies, red rank survivor contributed 50% to this.

    I've noticed this a lot as well (also on Xbox).

    Everyone's known the matchmaker has been acting up for a while now. However, I think the idea that there aren't many high rank killers also holds water.

    Basically, my thoughts (and observations) on the matter:

    -Ruin Rework without simultaneous map changes made a LOT of killers harder to play (not enough functional ways to slow down gens).

    -Due to the recent chapter release, the console versions reverted to their really nasty unoptimized framerates.

    *The killer role as a whole became a lot less fun to play due to how underwhelming it suddenly felt. I think this drove a lot of killer players away.

    BUT

    -The mid-chapter patch later dropped bringing the much-needed map reworks, vaulting changes, (and fixing optimization again).

    So basically, both sides had their experience improved, and I think this started to bring players back in to play the killer (or drew in fresh players again). But all these people have either been rank reset enough to fall to the bottom ranks, or truly are brand new to the game.

    Hopefully they're working on some kind of plan, I can't imagine these matches are much fun for rank 20 killers with ONE perk.

    I understand the issue here and I believe that I am a pretty good and brutal killer. If I try hard enough and take the game seriously I could be a rank 2 or 3 killer. I am a level 16 because being a killer is so easy for me and I couldn't care less about my rank that I just farm for bloodpoints and do challenges. Out of the kindness of my heart and I know what it's like to be a survivor to put everything you have into getting the hell out of there I usually just let my survivors escape after an agonizing trial of my chasing them and downing them. As a level 16 I do get paired against higher ranks.
