Is anyone else excited for MMR to come?
I would say that I'm excited for MMR to come out so that thr game is more enjoyable. A lot of the problem I hear on the forum can be solved by good match making. I'm hopeful they did their job and fixed it so that people get good and fair matches and cause more people to improve and get better. Is anyone else excited or happy for MMR?

Ehh, excited is too much.
Curious is what i'd describe my feeling towards it.

I mean, that sorta depends. Like, if I end up only ever playing with the highest end players, its gonna get real annoying, fast. In a fair sided game, absolutely. In a 1v4 like this, not so much.

Even if it’s a train wreck, I’ll still be happy. Who doesn’t enjoy watching everyones world falling apart?

I'm very excited for it, yes. A working MMR system would be a big benefit to this game. When they first turned it on last year I had consistently good teammates in solo queue and it made a world of difference. Shame we were sometimes being matched against new players... Since then, though, I've been keenly waiting for it to come back so I can have a lot more fun in solo queue.

I think it will suck all the fun out of the game if you reach higher MMR because this game gets more unenjoyable and frustrating the more optimally the other side plays and the harder they're trying to win (in terms of build).
I am predicting that high MMR killer will face 4 man SWFs all with Dead Hard/BT/DS/UB with purple medkits slamming gens and high MMR survivors will face nothing but Nurse/Freddy/Spirit with Ruin/Pop/Tinkerer/Corrupt and great addons burned.
I think they just need to tighten up the current pip system for survivor, making it harder to get and maintain red rank if you play stealth and incentivize people to play the lesser played side when queue times are bad. And give killers some kind of bonus when they play against a 3-4 man SWF or at the very least let them know they're playing against one so they can put on a good build. Also, matchmaking should put you against a killer equal to the highest ranked survivor in your SWF, not just pick out literally any rank near any given member like it seems to do.

i'm sure killer mains are excited to be able to learn new killers in a less stressful lobby but for survivor i think it's going to suck ass the same way it did the first time they tried it. they haven't said how they calculate the mmr and i'm not sure what the devs think is "skillful" is going to be a good base for the mmr.

yes because i will actually have fun playing killer in high ranks

Excited? No. Cautiously optimistic is the best I can muster for this particular issue.
0 -
Not really honestly because I seriously doubt it's gonna work as it's intended to, just look at Hit Validation it prioritizes people with terrible connection and doesn't work at all for me when I play survivor.

No. You can manipulate MMR same as you can manipulate ranks.
It is not a DBD thing. It is a thing of any other online game with matchmaking as well.
It will be same thing with different packaging.

Not if it messes with queue times like last time, forcing me to play killers I don't like.
0 -
Really? How can you manipulate MMR?
0 -
Not excited, but cautiously optimistic.
0 -
You intentionally play bad in order to be matched with players who are weaker than you.
0 -
Well technically you can do that now. Play badly and depip.
0 -
I'm as excited as this baby donkey.
Finally, my Nurse and Pyramid Head games won't be filled with rank 10 solos whilst my Wraith games are facing 4man ds/ub/pt/dh squads.
Finally, my teammates won't be yellow ranks.
All assuming it does something, because it physically cannot be worse than current.

That is why I said I am not excited for the MMR, as I have stated, it is the general problem of online matchmaking games: How to match players fairly based on their skills. There will always be people who crave superiority over weaker players. :)

I'd like to know how exactly it will work in a game where there isnt a clear cut answer as to what a "win" is.
For example, if someone dies at the end of a match on first hook, but they completed 3 gens and did 3 safe un hooks and healed everytime does that person "rank up or rank down"?
0 -
I'll be happy to adapt killers at rank 20 emblem scoring over rank 1 scoring.
0 -
It's going to be either crazier or better than the current clusterfunk of a matchmaking so definitely excited!
0 -
Honestly I'm only excited for it for the rank rewards, lol. I do hope the MMR system doesn't result in a trainwreck.
0 -
Well.. when is it coming? They've been talking about it for, what, over a year now? I'm excited for rank rewards.. whenever they come
0 -
I'm apathetic about it
Either they'll find a way to mess it up or it still won't satsify anybody and we'll see tons of complaints about it.
The Matchmaker... the Matchmaker never changes.

When are we going back to rank 20?
0 -
People expect to much. The MMR will gradually widen its seach parameters, when it doesn´t find a match (pun intended). So after a certain time, it will still match rank 1 survivors with rank 17 killers. But at least we won´t know how terrible the match was, because there will be no more ranks.
0 -
What calculates MMR won't be revealed to the playerbase. How do you manipulate it.
0 -
That's what I think will happen too. I think round 2 mmr will have better parameters as to what makes a skillful player. Hopefully.
0 -
Finding a perfect match will take a long time. So in order to get a quick match, i wouldn´t expect to much of it.
Especially since the current rank system doesn´t differenciate the playstyles of each killer.
0 -
Yep, so I can go back to rank 20 and get Adept Killer trophies.
0 -
That wouldn´t actually work with the mmr. So better hurry, before they turn it on.
0 -
How? I thought everyone would get sent back to rank 20 at each reset, where the Emblem requirements for a double pip would be easier. Yeah I wouldn't be matched with complete noobs, but it's better than having to get four Iridescents against red rank Survivors with a Killer I don't play as.

where are you getting all these cute animal pics lol

"Excited" is not the word I would use to describe the upcoming mmr system.
"Concerned" is the word I would be using.

I have my sources
Google, Reddit, and friends when I'm sad

I don't really care... I just want the rank rewards to be a thing... XD

Did it occur to you, that they also rework the emblem system? The current system isn´t exactly designed to get to rank 1 each month. So it might not be what you expect. The killer achievements have been made increasingly harder over the years.

I am looking forward to it, not entirely sure if it isn't being unofficially tested on xbox or not. My games there seem more fair the longer I play, played a bunch of games as doctor starting with new players but the games and matchmaking got better with every win until I was playing people who knew how to do gens. Switched killer to Myers, back to newer players again. Also on the pip screen it shows an extremely low rank, rank 20/19/18, until the tally ends then switches back to rank 8. The killers I play against as survivor seem more along my skill level too.
On the other side my PS5 games are a sweatfest, my rank 8 killer vs 3 or 4 red ranks or my rank 10 survivor vs red rank killer.
I am really hoping mmr is a success this time but do wish they allowed us to see our own mmr, keeping it hidden from others.
0 -
It was a failure the first time they tried I doubt it will do much better in round 2.
0 -
Yep I'm excited. I hope It will be perfect when Its out.
0 -
I'm excited. My killer matches were much better when it was active in the past, so I'm hoping it still improves things. Honestly I just don't want to dread hitting purple ranks each month because I know most of my matches will be all red ranked survs from that point on.
0 -
If it works correctly you definitely won't have fun playing killer in high ranks unless you're the kind of player who enjoys sweaty matches. Because if it works properly, every high-MMR match will be a sweatfest and you'll only be using Nurse and Spirit.
