How to make DBD Fun For Others?
So I just played a match solo survivor...
I'm rank 6, I had a rank 8, a rank 4, and a rank 15 in match. We faced a rank 16 Myers. We're all on Playstation, Myers is crossplay.
Obviously, we didn't know he was rank 16. He spent the whole match chasing the rank 15. At one time after the 15 got injured nearby me, I tried to take aggro, but Myers wasn't biting and stayed hunting the 16.
So we do gens and play normal, half expecting Myers to suddenly tier 3 and take two people down (assuming he's at least rank 11), and get five gens done. At the same-ish time, the rank 15 goes down. Myers hooks him near a gate, and facecamps. (I'm running kindred, no one else is).
One person gets close, and Myers goes tier 3. That's it, we've got to leave him. But the three of us get close, testing the waters, seeing if we can get him to chase. We're probably losing someone, but no way to communicate that, so we're all just kind of there.
Suddenly Myers goes for someone, so I go for the save. I assume me or the unhooked survivor or the chasee will go down, but no, Myers goes for the unhooked guy, and then his tier three wears off. We run, but Myers hits the rank 15 and takes him down again. But the rank 15 had DS, so he gets free, and all four of us are at the exit gate.
Myers disconnects.

What did we do wrong? How could we have made the game more fun for the Myers?

Honestly couldn't. There was a huge rank gap between the survivors and myers meaning matchmaking is going at it again, yay. yall were simply way better then the Myers and theres is really nothing you could've done.

Killer could faced a good team, gen rushed or revenge from previous game so he went tunneling. Or may be he tunneled because he can.
Killer tunnel because survivor gen rush, Survivors gen rush because killer tunneling. The only way to make the game fun for everyone is remove gen rush & tunneling (also camping)

Well hopefully MMR will fix this issue. Things like this happens when a rank 16 gets matched with purple and red ranks.

If you really think the MMR will fix this issue, then you´re going to have a bad time. There are to many variables to make a accurate guess whats the skill level of someone. If it works even in the slightest way how the past or current pip system works. Then it will fail and it will fail hard.

I think any other ranking system that they put some work into will be better than this one. This ranking system will put a yellow rank against a red rank. Not many other games would match people of multiple colors away. Even if MMR isn't perfect I believe it will at least put people of somewhat close skill levels together.

But there is no way to determine the skill level.
Just look at the freshly implemented "hook" counter for killers. Which counts hook stages instead of actual hooks.
If the MMR takes this information, it will assume that someone who got just 4 hooks during the whole game, but all of them were death hooks for one reason or another, that those count as a perfect 12 hook match and therefore the killer should be matched with higher skill survivors.
Meanwhile, someone who got 8 hooks, but no kill, will be matched with lower skill survivors.

I think it will have enough data to know the difference between 4 kills and 12 hooks...

You sure? The pip system can´t even determine that a Trapper gets his downs differently than a Legion. Giving the Trapper less emblem points when he traps survivors, while giving Legion tons of points, because he keeps injuring a lot of survivors.
