SBMM is going to happen whether or not some people want it or not Behaviors clearly made their mind up it's coming back for sure. So to the ones who don't want it, buckle up you're getting it forced onto you for sure, just like how Dedicated Servers got forced onto us when they weren't even in a good state yet.

    I mean, did anyone else really think that they weren't gonna put it in, even though we complained?

    They've spent almost 2 years working on it and put a lot of resources and money on it. They were always gonna put it in, whether we liked it or not. They're too proud to admit when they're wrong. Breakable walls are another addition most people disliked but they still insist on putting onto maps.

    Imagine complaining about a system that is supposed to make games fairer, which is certainly has for me and others.

    There's not going to be any balance changes for high MMR, so I'm probably out.

    I remember the last time BHVR decided to fiddle with the matchmaking to a point where everything I got was just random beginners just starting the game out for the first time, and it made me quit the game for months until it got fixed. They do it again, it's vacation time. I got plenty of other games to play even if BHVR does not care if old players leave. Besides, seeing just how much DBD consumes my life, this would be a nice excuse to uninstall.

    Because it's not like they don't know that the game is BS when good players are involved. They've said in the past that they "think it's cool that people play that competitively but we aren't interested in following that top-down approach."

    They've had multiple years to do something about it, and they haven't

    I'm not trying to be offensive to anyone but SBMM only benefits terrible players.

    You're either a good player, and now the entirety of your matches will be absolute sweaty miserable games, and for the people who are bad, who had okay matches it's purely because you only got put with other bad players.

    DBD at it's highest level is literally slugging and slamming out gens letting people die if you have to or camping at 5 gens to secure pressure.

    The only people who are celebrating SBMM are mediocre players, and the thing is, everyone on this forum thinks they're gods gift to dbd so will of course argue that they are indeed the best player but their matches were still ok.

    Given the recent thread about that streamer, it's clear that even players who are thought of as "the best" aren't necessarily so. SBMM will allow them to see who's really at the top on either side. They can't make proper changes at the extremes (high/low skill) when the ranking system doesn't even work right, IMO.

    Except, we already KNOW the game is completely unfair at high levels.

    Of course, but what does "high level" really mean, when even someone considered the best of the best isn't it? That's my point - the ranking system needs to more accurately reflect skill before changes can be made at "high level". Without a proper ranking system, "high level" is a meaningless term.

    Aren't most players pretty mediocre? If MMR works for most and the current system only works for a few the right answer is obvious.

    SBMM has no place in dbd or any game. I dont want to sweat every game with my favourite killer
