Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

I took a break from the game in August but I'm not coming back yet.

I read reviews about the MMR in the forum and on social media and i understand that the matchmaking is not friendly but tough.

I know i will continue to use unpoplar builds, different perks that not include Decisive Strike and Borrowed Time or the others. i have fun with them in-game and i don't want to use same build.

Let's say i have terrible games, i couldn't escape and 70% of my games are losses.

Will the MMR put me with players with lower win rate/survival time?

    if you lose frequently, your mmr will continue to drop until you don't lose

    Well..uh...lower. What kind of answer do you expect here?

    The way any MMR system works is that you'll drop/climb to the point where you'll have a win rate of roughly 50%.

    I have lost about 90% of my matches and still getting 4/5 games with a 0k, possible 1k.

    You may, or may not, get more balanced matches unless, like me, they decide to send survivors more than triple your skill level.

    Seriously, over these past three days I may have got a 2k or more on about 5 of them after roughly 40-50 matches.

    There seem to be a lot more tunnellers and campers too, it has happened to me a lot and I'm back with survivors hiding in corners scared of getting close to the hook so it seems more forgiving as survivor.

    Damn really. That's how I feel as a survivor but killer I have only had 1 game that wasn't a 4k. I feel like some ######### got reversed for some idk but as of now I have only seen a few good survivors and they died anyhow due to teammates not being on their level.

    I have a feeling they take the average from the 4 survivor. Too many matches, where i have a clear weak link.

    The problem is I have been trying to play fair, no tunnelling, no sweat. However this gets you nowhere anymore in this game. I was hoping playing fair would drop me enough to carry on playing like this and still have good matches. Unfortunately though it's not working.

    maybe you will get lucky and not have ruin/pop nurses like I do, and I don't run any meta perks usually.

    We don't know what is the factor of win or lose yet. So I don't think an escape or 3+ kills are considering as a win.

    For example, if gen speed is winning factor, if survivor all die in EGC after they completed 5 gens under 4-5 mins, the match MAY consider a win for survivors and lose for killer.

    We don't know and we don't have base measurement yet (even score) because devs hide everything about MMR.

    For your question, yes, you CAN lose after you get losing streak, nothing will stop that. I am experienced and I stopped playing until things change because I play for fun, I earn nothing to be sweaty from a game.

    Every survivor who knows how to sit on gens, is better than a killer playing for 12 hooks. But pre-MMR i did meet enough survivor, who couldnt do that. Maybe the game think you perform well enough or more survivor have learned what a gen is, so there is noone left.

    Close to uninstalling anyway. It seems nothing can resolve the state of the game and the direction it is headed.

    I play games for enjoyment but the matchmaking has got so ridiculous I'm now feeling more frustration than enjoyment.

    From your story i can understand that. i really have no desire to deal with matches with repetitive perks.

    I'm very sad that we got into such a dismal situation with this MMR.

    On paper you're supposed to get easier and easier matches UP until you start "winning" more again, but on practice it doesn't seem to work, i still get sweaty matches after being unlucky and getting a loss streak or getting winstreaks because i keep getting potatos who just got the game.

    It's really inconsistent and so far the only consistent thing is how inconsistent the system is.
