Crossplay-Is it Really working flawlessly?

Hello Comunity and for the last three days i've been closely analyzing the crossplay situation, and so far everyone agrees that it is functional. But once i played three days in a row as survivor, i've noticed that there is some weird algorithm going on.


Day one of the Crossplay= I went against bunch of doctors in a row. I thought it's some weird coincidence but then the next day came and...


Day two of the Crossplay= Going against bunch of Huntresses like the situation with doctor, then i still kept believing it's some coincidence and then today, Bunch of Oni's in the row. Just today i've realized something may be wrong, but i'm not sure what. It can be some feature or a change i don't know about, but just in case i decided to write it here on the forum.


Have anyone also met this strange algorithm in your matches lately? If so, how was the situation with the numbers of matches in a row going against the same killer?

    This has been happening to me since long before crossplay was introduced. One night will be mostly plague and the next will be mostly huntress and then mostly spirit, then mostly oni, etc. I even hit a point one day about a month ago where I told my team "if it's another Huntress I'm suiciding on first hook so good luck" because I had played against 6 in a row.

    So It was happening before then... That's interesting. I'm just wondering if it's actually some hidden algorithm in the game then, or there is a gap in coding or something that may be causing it. I actually thought that the cause of going against the same killers in a row was caused by introducing the Crossplay but now i'm pretty surprised since i didn't have the similar situation before the crossplay came.

    My guess is it's an oversight in the match making algorithm, or somehow on the nights it happens most people are playing just those killers (which seems unlikely)

    There is also the possibility it's intentional but that also seems unlikely.

    I've also had nights where it puts me on the same map/realm every game. Just the other night I was on Badham for four games in a row, or a couple weeks ago it was Cold Wind 7 of 8 matches I played. Thursday was Auto Haven 6 of 9 games.
