BHVR, please fix matchmaking before implementing crossplay (look at this scoreboard!)
This game has one mode: RANKED. And matchmaking for it is extremely bad, it’s the worst I’ve seen and I play a lot of online competitive games. I’ve never seen anything like it. Obviously there is something clearly wrong with your matchmaking system, it’s not working correctly. There are a lot of frustrated players posting screenshots of their scoreboards and I will post a screenshot that I just saw which led me to make this post. This is not acceptable especially in ranked mode, if the game has a casual mode then player would play that and not get as frustrated as they are because they’ll have another mode to play until ranked gets fixed. But we don’t. BHVR, please prioritize fixing this, it’s not funny anymore. This is NOT fun for either side. This will make a lot of players quit the game. You will lose so many new players because of this.

They are working on mmr system. We should hear something about it Soon™

Jeez, that might be the most cursed matchmaking I've ever seen right there.
At this point best we can do is probably hope the MMR system is an improvement, I'm afraid.

No that wasn’t me! I would never do that. Lol. It was someone from reddit. I just saw it and was like that’s it they need to fix this ASAP.
0 -
Yeah soon™. MM system been horrendous for a long time and they keep saying they’ll fix it. It’s been over a year and still we haven’t seen any improvements. Hopefully really soon™ this time.

i can second this, im a fairly good surv and repeatedly get ranked against low rank killers and its so horrible to only be doing good because the killer doesn't know how to play well yet. and the swf ranking working on a cumulative score isn't fair, tbh, because a team of rank 5 survs will run circles around a rank 20, which is what happened to me just now.
(i only got that kill due to that player messing up and ph's final judgement, otherwise i wouldn't have got any at all. i got two hooks and they were all the same dude.)
when me and my surv team play, we consistently get matched against 20 - 15 killers. it's not fun for us, it's not fun for them. it really needs sorting out before cross play is a thing, because cross play and the differences of play and ability between console and pc are going to make it MUCH worse.

Yes exactly. It’s not fun for killers or survivors. It makes the game boring. They want to fix this by removing ranks completely from the scoreboard. I don’t know what to think of this, I’m worried they’re doing that so players stop complaining about the unfair matchmaking. When they’ll do that how will we know if they actually fixed this if they’ll be hiding everything, you know? I watched a video about this, he’s a big DbD streamer and he even said that the devs don’t care about fairness (opponent/teammate skills), they care more about time and being put in a match quickly.

I only play surv atm because I can only imagine the stress that playing killer right now would give you, it's still pretty bad. I keep getting baby team mates with under 20 hours and only 2-3 perks. I have 300 hours. Why does this happen?
0 -
a friend has been trying to rank up back into purples and every single killer theyve been against so far has dcd, and each time, the match looks like this.
i dont blame the killer for dcing, this kind of matching is going to suck no matter what :(

I seem to recall someone saying months ago that they were working on the grind too.. yet I have seen zero changes to bloodweb (cost, amount of items to complete web, etc.).
0 -
Did they talk about the grind? I don't recall. I hope it's true though because the grind in this game sucks, it's especially bad for newer players. And I know it was even worse back in the day but that doesn't mean it's fine now.
0 -
Arguably, it's worse today as there are more perks. Think if you just wanted a particular build for a killer or survivor, and how much is left up to chance in the bloodweb just to get those perks.. and then get them tier III.
0 -
True. What with all the teachable perks and more to be added the grind will always be worse than before.

they need to do something about it, cause honestly the experience ive been having is super poor, im not having a fun time when im still pretty new to the game with under 70 hours to the game. I saw someone saying theyre looking into getting rid of the rank system which i think is a mistake, what i think would be better is if they just added a unranked mmr for those that are new and trying to get a hang of the game. the higher rank survivors are most of the time toxic and have huge amounts of play time on those that are so new. You end up just feeling really crappy. Here's a screenshot of a game i ended up playing, the average rank for survivors in this game was so beyond my skill level right now. Id like to hear a response from someone on the behaviour team.

Yes the current matchmaking system is terrible but that's not that bad tbh. You got lucky since they're only a few ranks above you and the current system matches you with players closer to your rank, it doesn't look at skill or play time. From what I understood, the matchmaking system they're currently working on will focus on opponent/teammate skill levels rather than rank.
I'll just leave this here: https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/124795/

Soon you won’t have the ability to see ranks so it will all be fixed lmao
0 -
Ranks will be hidden I know that. Hopefully the new MM system works correctly lol.
0 -
Wasn’t a shot at you. Was a shot at the notion bhvr has that simply hiding ranks will fix this. If anything it will make the backlash worse because it will be assumed that every match is paired wrong
0 -
I personally don't think they should match by rank at all, but by hours played.
0 -
Yeah but swf wont be affected unfortunately they will still be able to exploit the system.
0 -
I completely disagree. Hours played means nothing especially in this game where queue times are very long.

Jesus that was in January, I mean I get it cause with covid interrupting pretty much everything its probably made it hard for the them to do this. I love the idea they are going for I just hope it comes really really soon. These guys aren't just a few ranks above me, they are 5 ranks above me, that to me seems like a decent jump in terms of skill level. I'm just happy they are aware of the situation and have come up with a solution. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
0 -
Yeah I’ll be interested to see what happens.
0 -
Literally everyone hits red rank with consistent play time. Hitting red rank is easy as ######### an a potato can do it.
0 -
Hours played almost never equates to skill though. They said the new system will be based on the players skills. Honestly, their explanation is somewhat vague, I don't know what criteria they will use to determine that. Is it play time, I don't know. I genuinely hope they don't mean win/loss ratio, that would be bad particularly because it's something we cannot directly control.
0 -
For survivors it would probably be average gens/heals/totems per game
Killers might get screwed by that because if you play a low-tier killer, you're not gonna have stats as good
