Playing killer with MMR has to be the most unenjoyable experience in the past 6 months

My experience was the same. Since they started recording MMR I've probably played PH the most and put more effort into him. It showed, the games were sweaty but the worst part is literally every survivor held W as much as possible, along with swf splitting across the map on gens.

There really needs to be more of a discussion about high level play in this game because for all the hate spirit, freddy, PH get by survivors who say they're OP and take no skill, you're literally just holding forwards in your games to waste as much time as possible. I don't care if these games are balanced they must be the most boring games I've ever had since I started playing DBD and I've gone against forever legion builds before. Every single chase just hold W as much as possible, if that's how DBD will be then I might as well quit now because that's boring as hell.

Competitive games are fun at a high level because the mechanics are fun. This does not apply to DBD, the mechanics and strategies of the game are not fun at a high level.

I've seen others play and once again we're seeing a reflection of tournaments where most of the killers just fall flat and you need to sweat your butt off to get any kills. This just pushes people to slugging Nurse and then it's the surviors who have no fun. DBD is really not ready for MMR.

With this update I can finally breathe a little as survivor. I'm escaping more but not a whole lot more. It's been more of a challenge to escape still but only one or two of us escape so that's also fine, a 50/50 split of killing half and half possible escape is pretty reasonable for once. All 4k vs campers has made the game so boring and I've recently only logged in to play 2 or 3 matches and bail. I suck and I shouldn't be forced to go against the best rank 1 killers every match that have tunneling and camping down and hooking in perfect spots to proxy camp and pressure gens. It's been hell and no point in playing to always lose. Forums always tell me it's not up to the killer to make sure everyone has a good time so I guess if 4 survivors are having a good time vs the 1 killer then who cares 🤷🏽‍♂️

IDK about you guys but three gen trapper builds have been doing great because they're most effective on SWF and thats all dbd will shove down my throat now

It can be inconsistently frustrating but it's nowhere near as frustrating as the time I played against 4 Steves trying to meme. Nobody with a heart could bring themselves to hurt such innocent creatures.

Yeah that's what's sorta been in the back of my mind-when I reach higher levels of play will it mean any niche but fun build will go out the window just because the survivors I go against will be bringing meta perk builds or even if they don't will the gens get popped too quick for me to have fun with my niche build? Maybe I'll find out some day but as for now I just don't have the time to put into getting me higher than rank 8 or 9 lol

I've had the opposite experience. I have less than 600 hours in the game so hitting red ranks as killer is tough. About half the matches you have these 5k hour survivors who you can't touch. They don't even like the game any more, their only joy is punishing less experienced killers by running the loops they long ago memorized and teabagging. That MMR removed that for me. I'm so used to those sweaty ducks that playing against my own MMR felt easy. If you have a lot of hours and playing against people with similar time invested makes the game unbearable, that's a balance issue, not the MMR.

As I said, I'm new here, I play both killer and survivor, red rank on both. So I may be wrong. The game definitely feels like it favors survivors. When killers win it's usually by identifying the weaker survivors and using them to pressure the rest.

I tried playing a solo survivor game but got tired of waiting for a game after 20 minutes so I switched to killer and had to play super sweaty because the obvious SWF knew my every move even sabotaging hooks as I get there, body blocking, forced DS trying to stop the unhook. Worst experience ever to feel forced to play toxic because you don't stand a chance otherwise.

I don't blame the survivors for playing like that, my point is it was incredibly boring for me and I can't imagine it was much fun for them either.

I mean the higher level you get the matches should be harder, I haven't played in months so I started at level 20. I 4 kd every game (with the twins no less) until about level 10 then it got tougher, had some great games then some terrible ones. But then again that makes sense right? The better you get the better opponents you have... obviously

For me was a very ralax experience, survivor ranks 16 with ranks 1, I would have liked to play more but I was very tired that day it was a shame, but as a survivor I avoided playing, I guess I would have been paired with green ranks.

It makes sense though.

Anyone who was getting 4ks all the time on the old matchmaking is going to have a very high MMR. Old Matchmaking isn't good and let the game think you were doing better by beating players of widely different skill level. Given time and a few loses you'll eventually reach where you should be.

It's the same thing you see with killer streamers, they rarely lost on old matchmaking so their MMR was very high and now suddenly they're facing the top survivors and struggling. From what I've seen the system works for most but for people who play the game a lot it's going to take some time for the MMR to adjust and bring them down.

We all know how much the devs love going off the "statics", when it comes to making changes.

I say let them implement this mmr. After few months of collecting information, They will see what is consider "high level" dbd and balance the game around that skill based.

With that being said the rank categories "statistics" would have more meaning than they do now as well.

But this is bvhr we're talking about so my expectations are low.
