The new matchmaking system is literally making me quit this game!
And I'm not talking from the point of a new player that just bought this game and started playing it.
I'm talking from the point of a red rank survivor(rank 4-2 at most) and purple rank as killer(8-5 at most), 1200 hours in the game. The new matchmaking is making all of the games BORING, boring because as a survivor I often encounter rank 15-20 killers that, sadly, can't catch me unless they chase me for several minutes, gens flying by way too easy and escaping in pretty much 95% of the matches...
As a killer in the last 11 matches I've double pipped 10 times, the survivors barely have any idea how to loop and juke and etc...
It's come to the point where simply is not fun to play either side because there is no challenge to it... As much as I hated it, at least the old system put me against tough survivors as killer(from where I can only learn of) and as a survivor against good and competent killers where I can put to the test my looping skills...
It's just not fun playing the game knowing that as a survivor you're going to escape pretty much every time, with minimal resistance and as a killer you're 3k-ing and 4k-ing all the time, again with pretty much no effort...
The devs said that the new MMR should place you somewhere after you played like 10 matches, to me it seems it's completely random...With a mixture of new players that barely know the game and some guys with 1k-2k hours of gameplay... It's not okay and definitely should not work that way...
The new MMR is a total BUST in my opinion...And I don't think I am the only one who feels the same way as I do...

You should start running meme builds and play while drinking heavily. That should spice things up.

Playing drunk while still drinking is the only way to play this game anymore.

They already put all the efforts into the next cosmetics pack.
There are no available sources fixing things, like matchmaking.

I only mostly get tunnel and facecamping killers and potato survivor teammates I havent played killer yet bc I'm doing survivor tome first but I liked the old matchmaking way more they shouldn't mess with stuff thats fine until they fix other stuff that's actually needing to be worked on

As killer it's been really nice to try getting my adept achievements, I'll get games where I am annihilated with killers I barely play but the next couple will be against newer/a good mix of Survivors making it easier to get the adept.
As Survivor I haven't noticed a difference because I hardly play solo queue anymore and when I'm playing swf we're all different ranks so before all of this we would get one game against a newer killer and the next one against a rank 1 3000+ hour killer so nothing has really changed in that aspect.

I'm sure -5% over the last 30 days has nothing to do with the event ending and everything to do with the amount of people who have quit forever in the first 3 days of the new MMR ;)

That's not even funny. Imagine playing against new players all the time. It's insanely boring and I genuinly feel sorry for them. My fun was completely ruined from one day to the other.

Corona lockdowns mostly started in March along with Chains of Hate: +6925 players
Silent Hill and the anniversary event start were in June: +6747 players
The anniversary event continued through the first half of July: +57 players, largely maintained the record high player count from June
The Last 30 days contains like the last week of the event, but then the event ended: -2001 players. Seems legit.
----------
Just look at the numbers. Player counts drop right when the event ends on 7/14, they stay lower for two weeks, and then actually come back up a little starting around 7/28 when 4.1.0 dropped. Looks like more people wanted to try out the Bubba and Billy rework than quit forever because of auras and MMR. Sorry it doesn't fit the narrative, but that's straight up what happened.

You commented saying the 2000 player count change over the last 30 days was due to MMR and auras. That was not true and that was the piece I was replying to.

Well when the MMR is screwing up the entire game I would hope it's one of their interests.

With all these posts, I feel like I'm the only one with normal games.
What I don't get is how, I'm getting regular reds + purples as someone who plays 3 games a day, while someone who streams the game 8 hours a day is getting browns + yellows.
