Match making is Horrendous
I don't usually play killer but I decided I would give it another try. I am rank 20 I was matched against rank 12 survivors. That made it not even fun to play so I guess my question is #########

Well starting out on one side in this game is always hard because there's no guarantee you'll have newbies on the other side either.

Welcome to dbd where matchmaking and ranking both work together to make the worst games for everyone.

It's an absolute mess and the single worst thing with the game, yes.
Even if you get "Fair ranking" matchups it's often not fair. It puts me against Oh Tofu and them fairly often, I am not even REMOTELY close to good enough to play against them, we are often dead after like...one gen....but according to the game I am "as good as Oh Tofu is" or other top end streamers- which is obviously not true.
The whole system is broke at its fundamental core. The level of effort and understanding of the game and listening to the community that is required; is beyond BHVR's skill set. So it's highly unlikely it will ever be fixed.

Survivor queues are impressive and Killer queues are instant. I've been killing survivors all day and they just keep coming.
I need backup.

That's not as bad as my games. I get my rank 17-18 killer against red and purple swfs regularly. I played 3-4 killer games today and had purple ranks in every game. It's too bad because I had 7 friends who tried this game and they all quit because we'd get a red/purple killer to match my rank and then it was them at like 17-18. We couldn't even get two gens done most games.

Queing up SWF is actually bad if not all of you are good at the game and are of differing ranks. The rank discrepancy between survivors almost ensures you a terrible match.
If you're not good and your friends are at high rank you're going to be in for a world of hurt. Killer will likely be above your skill level. If you're the high ranker and your friends are newbs you are still going to be in for a tough time because the killer will be mid level at worst, you may be able to loop him but if your teammates are potatos you are still going to lose most of the time.

Tonight I played my very first Ghostface match on the Xbox series X. My main account is on PlayStation, but I thought I would use this second account as a way to practice with Killers I don't normally play with. My killer is ranked 20, and tonight it put me against rank 8 survivors. And to top it all off the three that survived all tea bagged me as they left. For all they knew I was a brand new player.
Simply put, this game is going to crash and burn because of how unwelcoming and unfair it is to newer players.

Red and purple survivors get matched with yellow killers constantly.

And that's because they're so few killer mains anymore. Newer players that try out killer get completely wrecked. Tonight I played my very first Ghostface match. All I had was three level one perks to my name, whereas all the survivors had all maxed out perks. Such an experience is enough to put off newer players from ever tackling killer.

Don't worry. Once you reach rank 17, the matchmaking thinks you're fit to face red ranks.
That's also a way to discourage new killers...

It's the other way too. I just destroyed a Rank 20 Dwight and a rank 17 as a red rank killer.
That Dwight didn't deserve that final judgment. I didn't knooooooooow.

I actually let the really good players go in those games because I know how much it sucks to be on that end of the shtick as survivor.

I haven't played in 10 days...
first time on, killer queues are instant for me, survivor queues are not worth it. It is 1:24AM currently for me.

rank 20 equals at first rank 14-20 survivors. if you wait a bit it might open it up to include 10 to 12 through 20 you weren't too far off the rank window in this case Also could be you were the one that matched them as they were waiting for a killer thus it opened up their window.

I took a break from the game for a few months and I came back to the same issues. Are the devs really that incompetent? So frustrating.

They say the MMR is coming and that it's a priority, but they turned that off months ago and haven't said anything since so most likely it's not coming.

Yesterday i got red rank sirvivors game and then all of a sudden i've got brown rank games
I personally in my own opinion think the match making in this game is a myth.
I personally and in my own opinion think it puts in the next available person who queued up. A ticket number 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 and so on.
My opinion only

You can blame part of this on SWF groups. If you have any purple or red ranks and the others are below 10, that's a dead giveaway. I thought it worked better when rank reset put you down further. If you were rank 1 you would start at 9 or 10 if I recall correctly.

You got it, fellow Dwight
