SBMM just does not work

If escapes are heavily weighted in the algorythm, then we might genuinely have a elo hell design flaw for survivors, seeing as the game is killer-sided against less-than-competent survivors and even the best players have to rely on teammates.

So, yes, can't escape because of bad teammates, can't get better teammates because can't escape.

The only ways out of the hellhole would be to swf, or to take a key into every trial.

I mean did anyone actually expect it to work?

It’s a good thing it doesn’t work well. A good functioning SBMM in this game wouldn’t be good for the game.

It not works, my wife has ~150h game time, she tryed first time killer today and was really pissed of after few game. i try to help her with a game and i played vs 2 survs with 5k and 2 survs 2k hours.... so tell me what works here?? right nothing

Did anybody really expect this to work though? I get lobbies with my most played killers on which I constantly get 4Ks or hatch 3Ks with a good emblem system score, against survivors that can't barely loop me or don't know about anything but pressing forward, getting always smashed by any kind of simple redlight hiding mindgame. As a survivor I get either matched with amazing players and players that just got into the game.

At least the old system was somewhat consistent with keeping the extra casual players stuck in yellow/green ranks because they would not spam the game at all and would not climb through ranks. The thing with having both average and high skill rank players thrown into the same lobby is still a thing. This system is just a placebo that coincidentally happens to have a higher rate of side favourable map offerings thrown into games.

Honestly sharing opinions with friends and watching casual streamers (I'm excluding anyone at the level of Zubat, Cope, ScottJund or whoever off what I'm about to say) mostly everyone lands at the opinion that barely anything changed if things we're actually made notoriously worse, being the worst subjects to it soloqueue survivors.

This is another "bhvr pls" meme. It was pulled off so bad it would be comical if it was not as depressing to see a company treat a playerbase like this given how the last few months have been bug wise and performance wise. This system is just a big ######### dissappointment.

I feel you. Today, I honestly uninstalled my game until further notice because of how horrendous sbmm has been.

I’ve only been playing since late 2018, but 2021 has been a horrendous year for this game and I honestly don’t know if it can ever bring itself back from all the ######### ups that have happened since June alone.

I had some really bad teammates after rank reset, but yesterday it seemed fine again. And my bad teammates should have lowered my mmr. So maybe its the same as before. You get bad teammates bc there is nobody else available. But if you are really in elo hell, you need a swf or maybe try to survive always atleast 10 minutes and hope that your MMR increases.

It's an improvement, mostly, but still has so many of the same problems old matchmaking had. The further we get from the SBMM launch day, the less consistency there seems to be with the system. Survivor matchmaking seems to have been tweaked at the rank reset. There's way too much MMR variance allowed among 4 survivors. 3000 hr players should never, ever, under any circumstances be matched with anyone who has less than 100 hours. Your system needs to be scrapped if that ever happens.

Maybe it's working absolutely fine, since hours played does not equate to skill. Just a thought~

We need to drop skill based matchmaking and add tp (time played) matchmaking. This will greatly please the community as a whole.
