DO NOT PUT THIS MATCHMAKING INTO THE GAME

New players will still be placed with new players, as it bases itself on how you play. If you haven't played much, you don't have a lot of experience for it to go off of.

Most of the "questionable" players I go against are low ranks but also have quite a few hours. Those players are just meh players, not new. That and the fact that I play stridor spirit without shame.

SWF. Many newer players get to rank 1 with the help of 4man swf.

I had such a group myself when I was a beginner and I regret it now, since they were toxic as #########. One of them would run Object, and distract the low rank killer (back then average rank chose your killer, not highest), while I did gens. I didn't lern to loop somewhat until I had about 500hrs. This was over 2 years and 3k hrs ago.

The amount of self caring, urban evading Blendettes against a Sloppy Butcher Legion on red ranks has drastically increased.

Ranks are an easy way to describe them. Red ranks are playing really well, green and lower ranks are playing really bad.

This myth that an untapped trove of pro loopers exists at rank 20 is just people drinking the koolaid and snake oil being given to them by the devs.

I've been having a great time with MMR actually.

Played about 5 hours of survivor as part of a 2-person SWF tonight, played 4 killer rounds prior to that. My experience:

-- The survivor rounds felt almost unfair at times. My friend and I normally do pretty good (we were both Red Rank coming into the night) -- there's nights we get creamed, and other nights we have high escape rates. Tonight was a high escape night. Most of our matches had two things in common -- two teammates who were clearly a lot more inexperienced then we were (not just in rank, but in the way they played), and killers who seemed completely overmatched. I'm not a great looper by any stretch of the imagination, but I was able to loop a few killers better and more consistently than I have ever done before. There were multiple matches where I escaped without being downed, and that's not common at all for me. I pipped up almost two full ranks tonight (barely a Rank 4 to start to almost Rank 2 now). There WERE a few matches where we faced off against killers who were much tougher -- in those, we tended to have teammates who were capable, and those matches it seemed like MMR was working the way it was intended.

-- The killer rounds ... errr ... were a different story. I'm been a Rank 1 killer (currently Red Rank), but I'm nowhere near as good as that would suggest. But I am definitely more than competent, and I've consistently done well more often than not playing killer. Playing The Pig -- who I'm the best with -- I ended up at Pallet City (The Game) and ran up against survivors who ... ran away from pallets into dead zones to get downed. Ended up with a 4K, even though I was a little rusty playing killer and played like a potato myself at times. 2nd match as The Trapper, who I play occasionally and am decent with, I ended with a 3K -- the survivors made a horrible blunder at the end, or else they probably could have all escaped. The ranks suggested inexperience, and it showed at the finale. 3rd match as The Plague, who I almost never play. Survivors seemed equally inexperienced, but they still seemed to be a skill level below me -- I ended up with a easy 4K, and probably the easiest match I've ever had as her. 4th match was as The Doctor, who I'm more than decent with. Survivors sent me to Hawkins (which didn't help them), and it was a slaughter. Another 4K against survivors who seemed to be in over their heads. Again, small sample size here, but the match with The Plague was the only one that felt close to what MMR should be doing, and even that match seemed to be unbalanced -- the other three, I definitely felt like the matches were FAR easier than what I'm used to facing.

Again, my brief experiences only, for reference.

Thanks!

I also played solo or duo later and still prefer it over 3 or 4 man swf. That's just so easy.

My starting swf was not just toxic (I consider Object as toxic), but they also had conditions. I was only allowed to unhook with We'll Make It or only in an emergency when none of them could go, and when I wanted to do the adepts for Laurie and David they said that I should stop trying it, because I was dying a lot. (I did them anyway lol)

And when I started to watch good players on YouTube or twitch, I never played with them again, because I realised how bad I actually was for a rank 5-4. I was watching Monto, Oh Tofu and Tru3 a lot. That helped with getting better or find nice builds.

Well, I just got a game where high ranks were just trolling and doing nothing the whole game because they want to decrease their mmr level to get games where they can just steamroll the killer. So that's a new thing with MMR.

Sometimes it's a smurf account.

I use one as well but more on the killer side to properly learn a new killer. Rank 5 ist just not good to learn at

Ever considered that you are matched with them based on that you usually contribute to the game?

Complete opposite reaction to mine.

Teammate quality has improved substantially, in every match I've played so far at red ranks. Loving the matchmaking so hopefully it does get put in permanently, with some tweaks of course. But my experience is definitely a positive one. Not having to worry about what my teammates are doing for a large part, is satisfying as hell. People are just more efficient overall and its great when the team makes the killer actually have to sweat.

I played legion during the test. I'm not good with him I was just playing him for daily which was just to apply the mending to 4 survivors. I'm rank 14 killer got matched with all yellows. They were really annoying survivors. Someone went on a gen right when they got off the hook. I knew they had ds so I was trying to lunge at them instead of grabbing them off the gen but I still somehow grabbed them off. I tried it as solo. I got paired with yellow rank and gray ranks when I'm rank 8. One of them kept fast vaulting a window where I was trying to do a gen. Letting michael stalk them and then killing themselves on first hook. The killer was rank 20. The second game as solo I got matched with two other purples and one rank 20. It was a bubba who was yellow rank. I saw he did try to attempt at moonwalking but I was able to see where he was going. I got my first hook after the exit gate was opened because I kinda forgot where it was but I knew it was near. I was shocked he didn't face camp me but instead was trying to force the other survivors out. I got saved and we all made it out. Then I tried it as a swf. Two green ranks, one red rank, and me purple. First game was yellow rank doctor who was focused on my friend whos red rank. Second game was a rank 1 nurse who was so good. Then we got a rank 20 oni. Then the red rank had to go. The random we got matched was rank 17 who did nothing. The killer was rank 17 legion who didn't know what they were doing. The random kept hiding in lockers even though the killer had iron maiden. Honestly I already see rainbow ranks when I play killer

with MMR , Solo Q is almost impossible , 15 games in the morning 50% exit rate for me ,15 games 0 exit in the afternoon, where it is fair ?

what this mean ? Casual gamers will begin to leave or go in swf . at this time = less players . more SWF means more killers leave the game ... so less players again and now you got a game who start to die GG .

how to keep playerbase ? make 2 game mode 1 with MMR for esport or whatever you call it

and 1 mode with old rank system more adapted for Solo Q (casual) and everyone is happy. at least give it a shot for a few weeks , BHVR knows how to do it because we are their beta testers XD .
