Individual killer MMR will be a problem for survivors

Unfortunately to many like you, this is probably the best way for it to work so people can try out different killers.

I think it should probably take into account the level of each killer, how many perks you have unlocked, maybe even how many games you've played with them, etc, to establish a base MMR. Even if you've never touched a killer (like when a new one comes out) if you're P3 on 7 other ones you should get a boost so you're not matched with new players, but not so much of a boost that you need to stress too hard while you learn.

Also maybe consider adding an unranked practice mode that isn't just Kill Your Friends.

Maybe make the matchmaking consider devotion rank, additional to total killer level/games played and perks unlock percentage.

Everything is for surviors unfun or oppressive since years.

You just to follow this forums for a year and you will know that. Everything that is not a buff for them, gets a outcry with most of the time those words in their threads.

That said, I play since a year or so most of the time in the brown or green ranks because I spent not so much time anymore playing DBD, but you will be surprised how often you get matched with higher survivors in those ranks. I don't know how it is since they changed the mm (allegedly), but usually you get already matched with red ranks while you are in the brown ranks.

And that means... You don't have to worry. If rank 1 or 20, you will get your red rank survivors anyways, if they have not change that^^. Part of the reason why I not understand, why someone would like to rank up, you know? If you get already everything in the first reachable ranks...

Edit: Well that is one reason and the sweaty gameplay up there. Everybody trys to be a tryhard there, after my experience.

Yes it's gonna suck and be pretty off for a while when MMR is introduced but eventually most everyone who plays even semi-regularly should be placed near or at their true MMR and when you swap to another killer you'll be very close to your actual elo instead of on a brand new killer.

Yes that also means each killer release will go through this phase but I think ultimately it's worth it, the ends justify the means in this scenario.

This is like the same argument for maintaining infrastructure. It's more expensive to repair and maintain something upfront but over time it's the way better option because you have both a functional and maintained system and also avoid having to spend ridiculous amounts of time, effort, and energy to build something new anyways when the old infrastructure collapses and fails finally.

I think a good way for them to do this is to have two different mmr's for killers. One being an individual ranking the other being a total killer ranking. They use the individual ranking obviously to figure out where you should be matched with killers you obviously play. Then the total killer ranking takes your average across all killers and applies it to any killer you don't regularly play. That would probably be the best way to get an accurate match making system.

I am not saying you're wrong but isn't that a bit depressing? I mean, their track record implementing new stuff sometimes don't work at all but like.. some tiny bit of faith in them?
