MMR coming out is going to be a holiday for me
I am so sick and tired of constantly getting matched with greens and purples. Earlier today I was playing with someone with 85 hours in the game and I have 1200. I would just love if it every single game I could be matched up with people of similar playtime/skill level. I wouldn't even mind waiting 30 min for a game if that's what it took to actually get a balanced match. This is seriously like the most frustrating thing about the game and it can just ruin it. All day i've been getting farmed multiple times a game with no BT, everybody being afraid of gens, and getting people who can only last a total of 10 seconds in a chase against a legion because most of my teammates have been green/purple. At this point any system will be better than this current one.

The devs have made it pretty clear that they do not want longer Q times (evidenced by the expanding ranks allowed into a match the longer players wait) so even if they get MMR completely right and it ranks people appropriately, it’s not going to matter at all unless we get more killer sin the game. The matchmaking is still going to loosen the longer a player waits and we have exactly what we have now. The only exception is the devs are going to take your ability to see that they have fixed exactly nothing by hiding MMR lol.
nothing is going to change if killer/survivor ratio stays the same and the devs don’t have very strict matchmaking.

You get survivors who last 10 seconds in a chase?? Mine go down about 2 seconds after getting injured. Then they heal for 30 seconds only to go down in 2 again.

I want MMR on so I get competent teammates in solo, and not rank 5s who play like rank 20s. You will see as killer though, at the top of the MMR, that survivors will usually dominate. 4-man SWF is gonna be the highest MMR survivors all the time, because SWF gives way too many advantages. But at least the devs will see that and maybe act on it. The whole point of DBD MMR is to get more accurate information on how to balance the game.

I started playing dbd just before the 4th year anniversary event and a former friend of mine said something about MMR being disabled before or around the time PH chapter dropped. I am only green rank for both roles because I don't play often enough (and I suck, too) and whenever I play the killer, I get single digit rank survs and when I play the surv, I get fellow low ranking survs and a high rank killer. murphy's law yay!
jokes aside, what does mmr even stand for and what does re-enabling mean for killers and survs?

I wouldn’t hold your breath. Don’t you remember how when it first was tested it was 5000 hour rank 1 killers vs rank 20s literally within their first few games? It was the worst possible outcome for MMR to achieve and somehow BHVR managed to achieve it. I have no faith in them creating competent MMR.
Additionally as others have said queue times are a thing due to a lack of killers. To a degree I’m sure you’ll get who you’re given.
I think MMR might be enough for me to call the game quits. All I remember last time is different queue times per killer. Say I want to use a killer I enjoy playing like Pyramid, well his queue times might be 10 minutes. But then there’s a killer you despise playing like Blight, well his queue times might be instant. Thats what happened last time all the killers I liked and was good with had long queues and all the bottom tier trash killers had instant queues and I dont want to be forced to play boring killers like Legion just to get a game. Hopefully this doesn’t come to pass but I think differing queue times are inevitable.

BHVR admitted that the first mmr was based on kills and escapes. This right here is why kills are a useless metric for balance.

I'm guessing they said that kills and escapes were included in the MMR calculations, but weren't the only statistics it was based on.

They did? Where? Lmao
As everyone knows if you play well as survivor you get camped out with NOED and dont escape. If you hide in the bushes and let the team carry you, you’ll often escape. What a dumb thing to balance the game on

Is MMR out already? Yesterday I was having a ton of great matches, where even if the killer got a 4k it felt like a good match. With the exception of two (face camping leatherface and a freddy) it was all a pretty fun night.

No. MandyTalk said last week or so in a thread reply that when it (eventually, one day) returns, there will be a huge announcement along with it.
