What's Everyone's Opinion on MMR

It's one of the most bizarre things on this game. For killer, it's awful because you will see most survivors running a variant of the small pp build. Granted that's just the obvious choice for survivors to select, but it demonstrates the core problem with DBD. SBMM forces you to almost always see the meta of the game, and DBD's meta is obnoxious. Rarely are the matches actually unwinnable, but the "just kidding, you're not making progress" perks are, by design annoying. It also ensures that, even more than before, trying a new killer you don't have a good setup with is going to be awful. I have no idea about queueing regarding SBMM anymore. At first, it clearly had terrible queue times. Now it feels like it's loosened up. I just don't know anymore.

One thing I hate with any SBMM is that I don't feel like I'm going against people. I'm fighting an algorithm trying to keep pushing my limits until I can't pass it anymore. I kind of don't care in a defeatist sense.

For survivor, it's very weird. So, as a killer main, my MMR is bound to be bad. I've played survivor for significantly more now trying to get good with the other role. SBMM is completely unpredictable as survivor. It has some of the biggest matchmaking competency swings I have seen. One match, you're playing against a baby with 1-2 perks. The next after you beat that killer, you face a fully decked-out meta build killer that at least has an idea of what they're doing or is way above the skill level you're used to dealing with. It's not likely you're slowly climbing the latter as survivor. Oh no. You get catapulted from one end to the other semi-frequently.

SBMM doesn't allow variety anymore. Always the same killers, always the same perks on both sides, most of the time the same way of playing (gen rush and tunneling).

For me, it removed almost all the fun on both sides.

On killer side my experience is still better as i can "play" with the survivors, i mean i'm rarely a dick unless you deserved it. So i try to give them fair trials where they can do some points and stay alive long enough (often till there is 1 to 2 gens left to be done).

As a survivor, i often get tunneled. Also i'm sometimes farmed by my teammates and this at a high MMR... terrible experience in soloQ, worst than before.

So globally, i think the game design needs some changes, DbD has never been in a good state so it's time to bring some changes.

It's sad that the game development is going on two different speed... Pinhead has a good design that needs some tweaks but he is really great and fun to play with/against meanwhile unbalance is still trash, optimization too etc... weird way of developing a game, really.

And how do i know i'm at high MMR as a survivor ? i face Otzdarva and sometimes i'm matched with Truetalent and other well knozn streamers as a survivor.

That it's wasn't ready yet...

Some matches I get good Survivors then others not so much... Some matches I get good Killers others not so much

The MMR has been alot better for me.

My solo queue survivor matches have all been pretty much high quality matches where the other survivors are great and the killer is also great.

When I play with my friends who don't play often at all it's a wide range of good survivors and killers or below average but that's what I'd expect as that is in between our skill level.

As killer it's been overall great too, I didn't play killer much at all the few months before the update but now it's my go too.

Personally for me this is probably the greatest level of balance I've felt in this game for a long time.

I really hate the MMR it's made both sides for me not as enjoyable as they used to be.

If BHVR's goal was to replace the old system and improve nothing with its initial release, then they did an actual good job on my end.

I've felt virtually no changes after the transition.

I dislike it. Majority of players disliked it during test phases and would give arguments why it won't work in the game like DBD, yet they still pushed it live.. It makes killers experience even more miserable. You're forced to use meta perks and meta killers, otherwise you won't stand a chance on high MMR. Trying to push competitive elements in asymmetrical games is a no go.

I would have said it was the other way around.

suck's ass... the proof that the dev dont listen to the comunity and just want they small money from new players and their cosmetic.. they dont care about the balance stupid god pallet and #########... being playing over 2-3 years now and just stop playing this game cause all night i had this swf who gens rush the hell out of you and then they bully you thinking they are goood for holding M1.. like really.. i dont want to play sweat all night.. even in survivor side .. i get these stupid team or i get this 3 man swf and me alone and we just destroy the killer.. where the fun

I kinda became a casual player over time do to lack of time...I really like it :) it was bad at first....but I suppose that is because everyones MMR was not stabilized yet.
