I just can't anymore with this matchmaking
For five straight games tonight I had teammates that didn't even come close to my rank, and who were all facing off against killers they had no business competing against. Because of this glorious matchmaking I de-pipped in every single match(I was rank 4). And what made matters even worse was having a Huntress with iridescent heads, and a Pyramid Head with maxed out perks who was a "level 20" going up against players he had no business going up against.
Just admit BHVR that the MMR is never coming back, and that this is what DBD is going to look like for the foreseeable future.

I gotta say that the matchmaking can only do so much with the players it has available. I believe that currently it relaxes rank requirement the longer people have been on queue. The matches may not be perfect, but of the games you've shown 2 killers had excellent addons and the last one smells like a survivor main.
If piping is your focus, bring perks that compensate for areas you're lacking and play for pips, not escapes:
1- medkits+deliverance/DS for survival
2-BT or WMI/PT for altruism
3-detective's hunch for totem cleansing or PT for coop objectives
4-Saboteur for boldness without looping

What led to so much de-pipping were having teammates that let me get to death hook repeatedly upon my first hook, and sweaty killers that preferred to camp and tunnel.
I get that rank doesn't always equal skill (as evidenced by the "rank 20" Pyramid Head), but matchmaking needs to go back to setting up matches based on killer ranks again because rank 15 and 16 survivors with nothing more than a couple of rank one perks to their name, don't deserve to go against a rank five killer.

Then I suggest you equip Kindred instead of Calm Spirit/Resilience. If your intention with Calm Spirit is specific counters (Doc/IF) you avoid screaming but the bubble still shows. I had the same issues with being 1 hooked and kindred coordinates your SQ team to better perform, no matter if by rescuing you or slam gens avoid completely (camping bubba ex.).

Ugh...that's crappy to see man. I get the same matching when playing Killer - I'm rank 13 usually getting matched against rank 5's or better. More commonly it's at least three rank 5's or better, with one outlier rank 10-12 thrown in.
As another person mentioned, I think the matching comes down to just having a limited playerbase. The game is 4 years old, so what's left are the hardcore multi-thousand-hour+ players, and the noobies arriving from DBD being added to Xbox Game Pass (me) and holiday sales on other platforms. If MMR is brought back then we're going to see a whole new/different wave of complaints in regard to queue times (which can already be plenty long - anywhere from 7-15+ minutes on Survivor side evening/night PST hours - and would be made longer with MMR), and the game being a sweatfest when you only ever have high ranks being matched against high ranks. It's a double-edged sword. If there were a larger playerbase, BHVR would have more flexibility but the numbers will only continue dropping so, imo, BHVR will continue to kick this can down the road indefinitely.

to be fair i get those in red rank too, guess i was wrong about red rank and now it's just the data that is flawed based on the matchmaking (still red rank is mess normally tho lol)

I watched my rank 20 killer buddy load a match with a killer he used for the very first time and got matched up with two reds and two purples.
On top of that, you have SWFs padding matchmaking by having a low rank survivor on their otherwise high rank team.

I'll be damned I didn't know that! I thought by not screaming your location wouldn't be revealed. That kind of defeats the purpose of calm spirit when facing the doctor.

The better docs will use iron maiden to keep track of absolutely everyone in their static blast radius. Your best defence against him is not hiding but rather using unique pathing and breaking away instead of looping the same tile. Uncharted has some good content on versing doc.
