Current matchmaking is punishing anyone trying to learn a killer
I think the fact this game exclusively matches me at rank 14 with ranks 1-8s is bad enough, but I think the thing that bothers me the most about it is I can't really learn any new killers because I'm being matched with high survivors. I got to my current rank leveling up two to three killers for the perks I wanted. Now I want to actually try out new killers and learn them, but there's almost no point because I don't know how they work yet and I don't have the optimal skills yet.
I know that I could just accept the losses when trying to learn, but I'm being bodied so easily I'm not even getting the chance to try out the power properly. I can still occasionally get 4ks on the two or three killers I learned the game on, but that's getting boring. I really want to try out new killers but the game isn't accounting for my skill level with this character being lower than other characters.
I really feel like this matchmaking is killing this game for me and I'm sure some other new players feel similarly. They need to have the matchmaking favor down and up equally, and not go so far up. I'd honestly rather wait two minutes for survivors my rank than have the match pop instantly with rank 1s. But more than that, please factor in killer level too. My first match as a killer with two perks shouldn't be put up against rank 3s and 2s.

New Matchmaking addresses this issue. Probably will be out today.

Really? Is there somewhere I can read up on the new matchmaking from an official source?

Doesn’t sound like punishment, sounds like opportunity.
If you’re learning a killer, the best way is to compete against people above your skill level. Does this mean people ranked higher than you are more skillful? Absolutely not. In my experience, about 75% of red rank survivors play like they should be rank 15.
Keep facing decent teams. When you can consistently win or draw more matches than you lose, you have learned the killer.

Damn, glad you had a crystal ball and used it to tell the future. Thank you!

I dunno. When I'm trying to figure out how a power works and I'm down to one gen left within three minutes after one hook and I don't have any good perks yet... I dunno, I feel like there's not much I can learn about the Killer this way. I'm sure some would be able to, but I'd rather Survivors on my own skill level so I can get into more situations.

no, learning and having games be over in 5 minutes do not match together well.

No killer is perk reliant. Please understand this game just celebrated the 4th year anniversary. Most survivors know counterplay to every killer now, the newer the killer...the stronger they are. Unfortunately at this stage in the game’s existence, this is your only option besides KYF.
You can learn alot in 5 minutes. Firstly, you learned that you need ALOT more gen pressure. If the game is over in 5 minutes, that means 3 survivors were forced to take their fingers off of the M1 button. Digest that knowledge, change your playstyle in the next game. Adapt!
