Do you think you should be able to see your own matchmaking rating for each killer?

Simple question. Please elaborate on your answer as well!

    Yes, because I want to see how I do in comparison to others.

    No, because "you are only a 3k MMR Killer. As a 6k MMR Killer I know everything better."- Discussions.

    I think it would be fun to see how a more competitive aspect of this game would look like.

    I don't thin it'll matter. Because regardless of how sbmm works bhvr will always tell you it's working as intended and they are constantly making adjustments to it. But all sbmm will be doing is making survivor qeues shorter by throwing everyone together in 1 lobby

    Yes, it won't matter in the sense that it will affect your gameplay or anything like that. However, it could be cool to look at and see the killer you seem to be best at.

    But can you really go by numbers? A High MMR Trapper isn't the same as a High MMR Spirit.

    I mean, you can take the numbers with a grain of salt, of course. But you probably already know how the majority of killers are going to look like for you.

    No because I think it is one of the problems with the current system. Killers possibly finding ways to get a better MMR yet lacking the skill to actually play. Then we once again may have the problem of uneven matches.

    When MMR was active for 24 hours the other day some of the matches where I was a survivor the killer was a higher rank of 2 and 3 at least twice yet they didn't play as rank 2 or 3 killers. One of the rank 2's may was absolutely terrible at being a killer though I will give them the benefit of the doubt that they may not have been used to that killer since I think I heard each one has it's own MMR.

    It may not even per se be one number but a calculation.

    I don't think they're doing that, considering Dowsey was in a queue for almost 2 hours, and his survivors had been in queue for like half an hour or more.

    MMR should be visible.

    Maybe not a specific value but a range, and maybe the visible range could be updated every week instead of after every game (but behind the scenes the MMR would constantly update).

    It would make it difficult, or at least extremely slow, to reverse engineer how the MMR works, and it would also give a bit of a goal to look forward to.

    I'm a Doctor main and during MMR test, I had pretty even matches tbh. If I wanted to go play as Freddy or Nurse (never played either yet) I think it can be assumed they will be a low rank MMR. I think seeing a visible number could discourage some people more, or it could encourage you to try your less played killers.

    I'm okay either way, and was pretty happy with the MMR test overall. I think survivors had it a little easier since you may not get all potatoes as teammates and 4 decent survivors can outplay an equally matched killer.

    absolutely, there is currently zero incentive to play at high MMR and adding this would at the very least give bragging rights

    I want to see it. Without it its hard to see improvement, bc your results wont change. I want to know whether i start losing bc i play worse or whether the opponents get better.

    I try to measure it right now with win streaks. Its not the best way but thats the only option. When MMR takes it away, i probably lose my motivation to play. I know it from other games. You try your best, but you get worse results. Its no fun. And DbD has no rank playlist.

    Yes. I'm actually curious to see where I'd stand with each killer. I suspect I'll be suprised where I stand on some of them.

    I wouldn't mind the game calling me a master trapper or a hit and miss ghostface 😀

    Well I think a major part of MMR was to get rid of intentional deranking to have easier games. With MMR up, you don't have an explicit score available to you, somewhat discouraging this action.
