Killer specific MMR can be abused what a surprise!

What do you mean? Could you explain, I'm confused... Like, you rarely played Pig before but you know how to play her regardless?

Could someone explain to me what just happened in the picture how does the rank 4 get paired with yellow ranks?

Mmr.

But why is the mmr comparing a red to yellow? What information is it going off of to make such a difference in skill? Sorry I'm just new and don't understand how it works yet.

Eww Pig.

Could only be abused for so long for every Killer since crushing noobs will shoot your MMR up.

Yeah I agree. This system is going to cause so much trouble and give newer players a worse experience. The devs already balance the game around newer players so about every match will be all over the place in terms of how balanced it is.

In my defence I've mained Pyramid Head for almost a year now and I still got put with <200 hour players

Maybe play a bit more and the MMR will adjust

Another issue with the separate MMR for killers is when we get new killers.

Low MMR players will only face the new killer when they release while High MMR players won't start seeing the new killer til a couple days later. when players using the new killer get their MMR up.

Especially when the new chapter is licensed and draws in new players. Not going to be a good way to keep new players if their first experience into the game is facing people with 1000s of hours trying out a new killer.

If ranks were hidden, as they would be once SBMM goes live, as ranks are obsolete with that, this wouldn't really be a problem.

The SBMM does what it is intended to do. If you never play Pig, it doesn't have a rating for her yet, so it'll assume you're not very skilled at Pig and give you an easy game at first. It will take a handful of trials before the SBMM will adjust and you'll get proper matches.

Give it some effing time.

Possibly survivors can have different rank based on what killer they are facing. Then you don't have problem with new killers.

but didnt they say they were working on an overall MMR rating aswell that would rank your overall killers even if you didnt play them?

i know they at the very least acknowledged this way before this test even started, so i guess its just not been implemented yet?

Exploit the system? This mmr matches me consistently against complete beginners with my main killer (rank1 billy that i play a lot). First time today i even played several people with 0 hours. I slugged my way through countless lobbies today, no change in the matchmaking.

For some reason, god knows why, this mmr seems to think it is good to match me against 4 beginner survivor every game (all games end very quick in 4ks, most with 0 gens done)

I actually think it has to be this way to an extent (note, extent). Killers do ultimately have unique abilities where switching from one to another can be disastrous. What needs to happen is that there's a baseline MMR for 4.6 m/s killers.

Yeah, I don't really care about the new players in this scenario.

I agree that the SBMM should take your current rank at least somewhat into account to create a base score for killers you don't play often, but still, I disagree that the game should once again be held back for the sake of newcomers.

New players are still players who deserve a fair experience. If matchmaking is constantly throwing them against highly experienced killers because that highly experienced player just bought a new killer, then MMR is failing to give them appropriate matches and they're being used as some guinea pig/punching bag hybrid for the rest of the playerbase to hone their teeth on. (It's also a horrible design philosophy because people are likeliest to commit or quit in their first stretch of playing the game - if they get throttled nonstop, most newcomers will not stick with DBD, which is not something BHVR wants.)

There really should be a floor based off of your average performance, so you don't start out on grey ranks with new killers unless you're grey/yellow normally in performance. The floor should be perhaps midway between your average performance and rock bottom. Maybe Nurse can be her own exception, because many basic skills don't apply, but I shouldn't get rank 20s just because it's my first Demo match. Yeah, it took me half the match to figure out how to use Shred and his portals don't work like I thought they did, but none of that matters because I still know how and when to chase people as a 115 killer, and the survivors I'm being pitted against don't know the map, what the difference is between a dull totem and a hex totem, or why they should be unhooking people. Those survivors should be up against equally confused killers.

May be a ######### Plague but a good M1 killer if good with Freddy. No really fair to throw that wolf in with sheep.

I like the MMR system. I'm playing killers i have never played before, i'm not good at and i don't feel like i'm being punished for it. The more players play killers and the better the get the higher the ranks. The problem with MMR is that everyone can see player rank and think that is what matters even though they say otherwise. Ranks should be removed or hidden honestly, that is the only way to get a fair test. Until then the survivor died because the killer was red rank. yes. that's it. wasn't their fault.

I'd be scared if just takes a few games to go from bottom MMR to top MMR.
