I Have A Hunch About MMR Being Backwards

I have been thinking the same thing. On my nurse main i was getting baby rank 20 survivors that bought the game when it went on sale like 3 days ago.

On demogorgon, who i have played less than 5 times in the last month or so, i got rank 1 SWF tryhard sweaty people.

I am rank 1 every rank reset for the last like, 2 years with 1k hours played.

Im not Orion but I did what you suggest, I play Myers the most and Im getting potatos with him, I play Jigsaw a lot, I also get potatos, I used to play Ghostface more than 4 months ago (quit him because how buggy he is, surpise surprise he is still super buggy) I get the new race of potatos, breed to be the emperors of the Great Potato Empire, I literally got people with less than 4 hours in the game for several matches as Ghostface, it was insane (I have 1200 hours give it or take it in the game).

I played 2 games with Hag, bought her for this tome (so imagine how much I played her), also very new players, Im going to try Nurse (played her almost never and I was never any good anyway) and edit the post with the results.

Would you be surprised is something else wasn’t working as intended I mean XD

I absolutely feel the same.

For example, I play a lot of Clown, I'm competent and can face strong teams - maybe I will win, maybe I will lose, but it's still a fair game (if they don't just gen rush, of course, but that's dbd, not the clown). On the contrary, I basically never play Demo, I probably have 1 or 2 two games with him in the past month.

The result is that with the clown now I'm facing rank 20s (literally, I have proof just from today), while with Demo I get much more competent teams.

I can understand why Demo might be misplaced, since I don't play him very often, but what about the Clown? That's what really perplexes me.

Still, I decided to vacate any judgement on the mmr system until I play at least 10 games with every killer from the patch, just to make sure. We'll see.

P.S. BHVR - FPS ON CONSOLE SUCKS. GIVE US AN ANSWER.

yea it backwards i get high rank with killer i don't use much and low rank with my mains.

I dunno, I main Plague as my go-to girl of domination (used to be doc). In an effort to test the new MMR system, I tried out the new Billy for a couple of games last night, and was paired with teams that are primarily low skilled players, and maybe a single high skill/ranked player. Billy is literally the only killer I haven't ranked up past lvl 37, and haven't played a single match with in over a year, He barely has 2 pages of low rank perks and very few add-on's. I never liked playing Billy, his mechanics just never "gelled" with me, but that's probably because I have poor vision, and don't like his slow turning controls while chainsaw sprinting. Due to this I figured he would be perfect for testing the MMR, and the results seemed fair enough for me.

However, in order to make the comparison accurate I went back to playing my go-to girl, and as soon as I did, I got utterly destroyed by some of the sweatiest teams I've ever faced. 5 losses in a row, some of which were the most embarrassing defeats I've ever had (like 1 hook and 4 escapes in less than 5 mins embarrassing), and I started to wonder if I was just having an "Off day", or got too used to going up against low skilled players because of the previous matches I played as Billy.

Before the MMR system, I easily ranked up to 1 with Plague, had a High opinion of her as an underrated killer, and regularly dominated in matches with My favorite build designed to put survivors "between a rock and a hard place", but after the MMR system went live, it was like I had never played against this caliber of skilled survivor teams before, and felt totally powerless with my best killer.

I know my experience so far hasn't been universal, but as far as I'm concerned, the MMR system is working, if a little TOO well for me. Granted, it may have just been because of the time of day I was playing, or some other factor wherein the only teams available for my best killer to go up against were higher skill players or full-on sweaty SWFs, but to have that happen for 5 games in a row felt like the game was saying "Oh? You think you're good with Plague huh? Lets test that little theory and give you a healthy dose of humility you cocky little #########!"

After that I Played survivor, because I needed to have some relaxing games to calm down, lick my wounds, and cheer me up. I suck as survivor, but so did the teams and killers I was paired with (except for a Clown who was R1 and dominated us with ease for 1 round), so overall It was better than I had hoped for. Maybe I'll try Playing my Go-to girl again tonight, but now that I'm expecting it to be hardcore mode if I do, I'm a bit apprehensive of giving it a try.

This has been my experience as well. The killers I play the most I've been getting babies while when I load up Demogorgon, WHO SUCKS ON PS4, I'm getting rank 1 full SWF meta sweat squads

Pretty much 2-3 days a week ever since she came out, but during the anniversary event I played her, doc and legion on a rotating cycle for about 3-5 hours per day while stocking up on Gateau's for 5 killers (ended up with 600+) and P3'ing Pyramid Head (not actually playing him until he was P3'd and maxed on perks), so if the MMR was gathering data then, I should expect my doc and legion games to be roughly the same high MMR match-ups, which is something I'll have to test. After the event though, I play maybe 2-3 hours a day, but primarily as Plague, which is probably why the MMR feels like its being so mean to me.

It's honestly such a Weird feeling when your best killer suddenly gets paired with players that make you feel useless, when before you felt godly with them. Those kinds of teams used to be a Rare encounter for me in the high ranks when playing before the MMR system came out, so to be paired with them for 5 games in a row was way more than I was ready for, and frustrating as hell. I definitely ended up feeling a hard slap of humility, and shame by the end of that gaming session, but wonder if the MMR system was just judging me too high because of my previous record of wins vs losses with her, or if I was just unfortunate enough to be playing at the wrong time of day.

Still new to DBD (playing about 2 months, rank 1-2 survivor, rank 14 killer - survivor main, rarely play killer)

My testing thus far:

Rank 2 survivor - getting rank 15-20 killers, easy games. Poor killer lol.

Playing SWF with brand new rank 20 survivors - getting rank 1 killers. My poor friends, rip.

Playing SWF with rank 1-3 survivors - rank 15-20 killers. Again, poor killer.

Played Ghostface as a rank 14 killer - I hardly ever play killer. Never have played Ghostface in a game (level 1, 1 perk, etc) - all rank 19/20's and a random rank 5.

My most played killer is Doc (for farming bloodpoints yeee), still rank 13 killer (pipped since ghostface) - Red rank sweaty game. I've played MAYBE a total of 20-30 games on him ever, and not very well, I might add.

I KNOW ranks don't matter, but they DO give an idea of how much experience someone has in the game. Even without taking that into consideration, there is no way (been collecting data for months, remember) that I should have brand new killers as an experienced survivor, or red rank survivors as a new killer.

What are they taking into consideration with the new MMR? How many times you survived? Gens done? Unhooks? If that's the case, I should have killers that are far more difficult to play against. And for killer? I get 2k's most times - what are they considering for this to give me red ranks?

It could also be that many players didn't play as obsessively as I did during the event, or as frequently as I have been playing after the event ended, so its taking longer to assess them. Honestly, before July, I played maybe 1-2 times per week, 1-3 hours per session, and sometimes just took a whole week or 2 off, but when the event kicked in, I played way more often than I had all year, and afterwards, with a rekindled love for the game, I've been playing more regularly. However, If other players played through July Like I had previously been playing in prior months, then I can totally see the system having trouble placing them in proper matches, at least not for a few more weeks. It's Just a theory, but It's all I've got right now.

Hey, we are aware that there are certain things that are not working as intended, we are giving this our full attention and will hopefully have more information shortly. I'm sorry that it currently is ruining people matches right now, but it's being looked into. It's all I can tell you right now.

Same happened. Play 10-20 matches with PH, and I get brain dead survivors that let me get five Devour stacks.

I then decide to try out Nurse for the first time, and immediately get matched with tryhards with the DH smol pp build.

Well, as there are some things not working as anticipated, we should wait until those have been tackled actually. It might then work as intended, but there isn't much information I can share or have at hands. I think then suggestions can be made about it.

Also nice to meet you too. I have been here for a while, just went a bit MIA due to exams.
