Got reported for "hacking" because of MMR

So this just happened :D Testing the new MMR when I'm rank 4 and the game gave me a very very salty rank 19 killer. Who then immediately decided to report me and cuss me in end game chat because apparently I have to be hacking to be put up against him.


So while this is funny, definitely the first time I was called a hacker, can the devs please make it more obvious next time with the messages that this MMR test is going on? Because the cussing is really damn annoying.

    Big popup that covers your entire screen that you have to acknowledge and people still can't seem to realize the MMR was going on? Not sure how much more obvious to make it, haha

    (Plus the test should be over by now anyways)

    Sometimes the news don't pop up for me when I start the game :c Would be dumb to get banned for this though :D

    The sad part was that even after I told him that there's MMR testing on and to read the news he was still going on about me obviously cheating. Even though we also had two rank 19 survivors in the match I could have been friends with.

    I am sorry to comment again but apparently, my rank was only half the reason for the report. He was streaming and was screaming cheater after I escaped through hatch at 2 gens when the last person died on hook.

    So on one hand, i guess I understand it more why it seemed weird that the match just suddenly ended but on the other hand I really hope this was just an MMR mistake and the game doesn't think I am "bad" enough to go against killers who don't know what hatch is.

    Good thing the report system doesn't do anything on its own.

    Some games, just the amount of reports can get you temp ban until someone reviews it.
